Yeah, there's only the one. There was a little hiccup with the search which included some RPGM games from another dev. I stand corrected on the matter and should probably edit that comment to avoid confusion, haha.

Anyway, I do like the game this dev previously finished, and the one still in progress, so I'm expecting good things from this one as well

And I wish we would bring back stoning for infidelity, but alas, it seems we both won't get our way.

1 Abandoned, 1 completed and 2 in the making

What other game is he making? Id be suprised if Myth of slayer is abandoned since it just updated in September.

I have played this. This meme reflects my experience.

From my point of view, this developer is very average. And this is another example of a mediocre work that has no soul. It's a demo, and it lacks a lot of content. But I doubt the full chapter will be much better. The graphics are acceptable, although in Solo Leveling Myth of Slayer they are better. Endless and boring internal monologues in the form of thoughts from a soulless man who won't stop talking to himself. Seriously, the MC thinking talking to himself makes up at least 60% of the text. The scenes, like the dialogue, are insignificant and boring. Because of all this, I got so bored that I skipped a lot of text. I hope the full version is much better than this. At least the UI, menus, and galleries are very well done. But nobody plays a visual novel for the menus... If the developer intended to attract people who aren't Patreons with this work, he failed miserably. I forgot to add: only images 1, 2, and 6 appear in the demo.

It's basically slice of life so I wasn't expecting much compared 2 d other games.

Bro really made another game. He should just focus on myth of slayer. It's clearly better.

for a dev on their fourth title you would think they would have improved in some areas but that is clearly not the case. as others have pointed out everything about this is soooo mediocre and that is if you are being generous. renders are bellow average for honey select considering what year we are in. english is very lacking as has been the case in his previous games. yet another vn that doesn't really offer anything.

(Posting this without a reply to comments calling out bad quality, so as to not ping people for no reason; this is a general post/comment.)

The English has improved across the games, but there are moments that are still pretty awful. (I'm going to bend the 'don't compare to other games' a bit, because both are prior games from Oldcat, and it sort of needs to be put in context.)

The real issue with this one is that the flow is broken. My Real Desire had decent flow at times, but at other points became a chore to read. Myth of Slayer is mostly fine in that regard, but has patches which are boring (and are often unfortunately bits you need to know to follow other bits later). Almost all of this release is just tedious to read. There's almost no 'action' in this (be it movement, combat, or whatever), so there's nothing to hide/disguise or break up the heavy/slow text. Lewd scenes aren't super relevant to the story issues, and I don't care about them at the best of times (if the context is awful, I'd imagine many others don't either).

I'll note that I don't care too much about render quality if a story is good enough, so I won't go into that.

Thank you for your feedback and your effort in writing it. I agree with most of the things you said.

I don't know how I missed this game, especially after "My Real Desire" (https://f95zone.to/threads/my-real-desire-epilogue-full-oldcat.51151/)

I will definitely keep an eye on this game.

Thank you for your hard work - Oldcat (Lyk4n)

Harem or no?

I and I think we all hope so, Oldcat (Lyk4n) He is one of the DEVs who are not afraid of success and make possible both individual endings and the glorious Harem, or so it is in his last two games, One is finishing and is a masterpiece 11/10 and the other is in progress and is going very well (although personally I don't like the MC design at all and the haircut takes away more points)

I haven't tried this one yet and I haven't seen the MC, but the banner Li looks pretty good.

I think, both current gamea are really good!

I just finished this episode and I also left my humble review (which I don't do often).

I hope that Oldcat (Lyk4n) will finish both these games and we will have two more Masterpieces from this great developer (the first one was obviously https://f95zone.to/threads/my-real-desire-epilogue-full-oldcat.51151/, which was legendary ).

 

[ghosthog]

This is so overwhelmingly verbose that good looking models/renders can't save it. I believe BigCosyStoryFan describes it best and offers some decent solutions but honestly I hope dev focuses on Myth of Slayer which has much more potential imo.
