As an HRPG, it should be noted that even if you do the "forceful" approach it will take hours before you're able to do your first H scene. If you're not immediately hooked by the RPG mechanics then I'd have to recommend that you either download a full save file or just skip this game altogether.
The style of RPG this game has is the looter dungeon crawler. You defeat enemies then receive loot upon victory, some floors give you bonus loot for killing every enemy. There is a lot to do in this game as well, easily a 15hr+ adventure depending on how extensively you want to search for loot or grind for affection.
Like I said, this game is a real time commitment. Not only do your first H scenes take a long time to unlock, but fully recruiting the other heroines into your party is another time consuming aspect of the game. Once you do unlock H for the main heroines then it becomes easy to unlock most of the rest of the H scenes with them, though you're going to need to do some side questing to unlock the rest.
The game difficulty can be all over the place. It starts off fairly easy, then there's a difficulty spike about a quarter way in until you accept a quest that tends to drop really high level equipment, after which the difficulty mellows out again. The difficulty of the game heavily depends on the qualify of your equipment, so depending on how lucky you are this game can either be fairly trivial or it can get really grindy. Luck is the best stat since it helps you get good equipment.
Late in the game you unlock the ability to make a custom spell, at which point all difficulty in the game should be pretty moot. You can cheese the final battles in the game with a max strength custom spell and enough MP recovery. I think it's pretty necessary to abuse since otherwise the game can get really grindy for what it would normally expect you to be when actually attempting the final fights.
H scenes in this game are all fantastic. The artwork is gorgeous and the writing overall is lighthearted and cozy. However, it takes a long time to unlock H scenes. There is a lot of side questing to do before you can get H scenes with the other heroines, and after you unlock the ability to H them you need to do a lot of random encounters to unlock the rest. It can be very grindy to get these H scenes.
Generally speaking I don't think it's necessarily worth the grind, they're all static images at the end of the day and the scenes are fairly short. Still I think this is a very rewarding HRPG to play. It's got an addictive gameplay loop and the art is very clean. If you love HRPG adventures then you won't mind the time it takes to unlock all these H scenes. If you're looking for a quickie then you're not going to get your fix from this game. It's a real time sink, but for those who love this style of game then you'll find the game pretty rewarding to play.
