    First of all, (as of this review) the "Completed" tag is inaccurate--should be removed or treated as "Abandoned", because the story completely stops in mid-air.

    You should skip this one. Holding down "skip" won't get you to the good renders fast enough, and they aren't as good as advertised. You were probably brought here because you saw some interesting renders, but unfortunately, they are few and far in between. There are three or four animations that are slightly interesting, but I wouldn't say they were fappable.

    But the chief sin of this particular title is the writing. The sentences are very choppy and redundant. There are very few sentences over 10 words long, and each one of them is treated as a separate paragraph, so you have to hit enter to read 7 word sentences every few seconds, without stop. It's mind-numbingly, achingly, aggravatingly tedious.

    The story itself is a little incoherent. The MC is basically a split personality between the main story personality and "the Halfbringer", which is some sort of prophesied magical messiah. The MC makes a deal with a succubus, who then summons three elves from an alternate universe to his house, before turning the tables on the succubus, who then turns the tables BACK on him and sends him from the modern world into the fantasy world that he stole the elves from. He's abducted by an evil human cult and then escapes, and then the story promptly stops shortly thereafter.

    DON'T. WASTE. YOUR. TIME. Unless the dev makes a total rewrite and somehow masterfully resurrects this thing.
