So, to start off, I'll talk about why I don't think this is a 1 star game. The dev has definitely put time into world building and it shows. Some of the concepts introduced are intriguing, and the world (read: town and dungeon) feel like a real place, most of the time. In addition, most of the dialogue is above average, especially for a porn game. As for the visuals, I'd say they are on the upper end of KK graphics, with a good amount of variety and interesting looking girls.
That being said, let's go over why I don't think this game deserves any more than 2 stars, either.
As some of the other recent reviews have said, this games faults can almost entirely be sourced back to the main character, and how he is written. The game goes out of your way to tell you that this is the coolest guy ever and the entire world basically revolves around him. Every single girl in the game either wants him, has slept with him in the past (and still wants to do so more), or basically wants to jump him as soon as they've spent more than 30 seconds (enough time for a few cringe-worthy one liners) with him.
Now, I get that porn games are generally wish fulfillment, and that's all well and good, but the combination of lack of any struggle (again every girl loves him or starts wanting him nearly immediately) with the obnoxious writing just pulls me completely out of the story.
For an example, let's take the primary love interest, the big dragon girl, and count all the shitty anime tropes that the dev packed in:
1. Childhood friend
2. Unrequited crush
3. Ridiculous body image/self esteem issues
4. Unexplained attraction to him that borders on fixation
5. Relationship problems could be solved with one adult conversation, but that would require actual communication, which they never do
6. Sudden love rival from the heroine's past
7. The "misunderstanding" scene, where she catches the MC with another women in a somewhat compromising scene, but doesn't confront him or say anything
8. ...which leads to her giving him the cold shoulder and refusing to communicate more
9. Gets caught masturbating while moaning the MC's name because she was too dumb to lock a door
And etc.
For the decent points the game has, the cringy, tropy writing just made me want to uninstall the game less than an hour in, and the adult scenes are not good enough to make me want to keep playing a game in which I want to bash the MC's stupid face in with a hammer.
