In a way... in Eternum...

Reading the synopsis, it sounds boring, The rating says otherwise. What makes this stand out so much.

It all depends on what you're into. There's not much depravity, but the sex scenes are nonetheless very well written and animated. The graphics are some of the best you can squeeze out of Honey Select. The writing... are there AVNs with better writing and deeper characters? Yes, there are, but only a handful. Is it worthy of being on the first page? Absolutely.

The writing is still A-tier and better than anything else in the genre, but I do feel like this is happening a little bit. The plot just feels a little directionless as of late. We discovered that Thanatos was alive in Eternum in Episode 3, and nothing has been done with it.
On the other hand, I am more than happy for fan service lol.

5th episode (0.5). We discovered Thanny was a dead man (still) walking in the 5th episode.

Also, a little directionless how? Going through with the gem hunt is pretty much the only thing they could do that would give some sort of progress to one of their goals which is to stop the Founder from doing whatever he's doing in Eternum.

As for other issues, well...they can't do jack shit with the Syndicate since they only pop whenever they feel like it, same with Wyatt who seems to only pop whenever there's a gem close by and he seems to always be a step too late when it comes to Orion unless the latter is not on the move. Caly is way too focused in getting back to her home and there's likely very little the team could do to help her on that other than just letting her do her thing (plus prior to the end of 0.8 Orion was under the impression that she was similar to the other NPCs that were under Ulysses' control and had false memories, hence why he's prolly just humoring her and letting her do her thing).

So yeah, other than gathering the gems, investigating incidents when they pop up like the rogue NPCs in Ekabar, training, and spending downtime with the girls there's little much Orion could do to move forward really.

I think he meant the plot was not moving forward, not that Chang's Team was directionless. But I don't agree with that statement either. As can be seen from your summary, the plot keeps moving forward.

Chang's Nine got 2 new gems after the Wyatt revelation; new allies in the form of El Coyote, the Vampires, and the Werewolves; Idriel had that Limbo infodump which will likely come into play later on to explain her and the Syndicate's prescience; Orion's powers advanced and he sort of got humbled; Plus Caly's backstory got revealed and as of the end of 0.8 is finally getting somewhere.

If all that's considered as the plot not moving forward then I'd rather have all of that than the first four updates of OIAL (like I still enjoyed that game but JFC are those early eps really, REAAAAALLY slow as far as the cult plot was concerned).

Exactly what I meant.

The plot is indeed moving forwards, and the characters are, too.

This game is a masterpiece.

0.9 will move the plot a lot more, since Hy'rilar is paramount to the story.
