As good as it is and as much content and variance it has too,
after all, to run down the content, there are...
the pacing is terrible and dialogue in- and outside of sex are very little.
33 H Scenes within like 2 hours is too much and tbh a waste. Together again sure did better in that regard and luckily it was the next and not a prior work. While writing and gameplay should not get in the way of H and support it, the idea behind writing is to make it more exciting by fleshing out characters and begetting emotional investment while gameplay serves as proper (fair&fun) challenge for a tasty reward.
'Simulation' Games sure tend to have it tough to offer a proper challenge. Pacing and Variety is very important there. That's why many successful ones offer a lot of H with slight variations as well as customization. KISS's Custom Reido and Maidos as well as Illusion's many big hits follow that formula.
Especially KISS successfully jumped from customizable 2D anime sprites to 3D anime models that can be mistaken with 2D, imho that's what the ideal of 3D should be indeed since the anime art style just can't be 3D. I won't recommend that to Pink Tea Games for they have to completely decide on that themselves since the creation process is vastly different and I sure would personally prefer painting a picture over painting a puzzle, with each piece separately.
Still, they should invest even more into writing to make not just visually artistic masterpieces. You can play all three (EC1+2 and Together again) during an evening and ironically still say that there was some 'grind' (having to repeat actions for a lack of new options).
Based on my personal experience, I can tell that while this is utterly hot art, other works manage to be hotter with less visual quality, why? Well, you know the answer too but let me explain how it usually works for me and why elaborate writing matters: Simply put, staring at one picture while doing that while only mildly aroused becomes boring or rather, one is tasked with creating one's own narrative.
So, that's where H anime or my favorites on sad panda come into play for me at least. However! They actually only tend to come into play when I'm more aroused and getting impatient. Meaning, EC2 let me play mildly aroused until I choose the 'Broken' Special scene. Other games tend to make me stop playing but make me return when I'm in the mood again.
I don't think this is just my way of doing things, rather just no one talks about it despite this being a forum about something already private, perhaps this is too private/personal but welp... On the contrary I'd suppose that this is even something that makes a porn game something that stands the tests of time. Rather than just a fling. Now while I think many will still replay EC, EC2 or TA, more will likely just review the events like a high quality CG collection.
