This VN manages a truly amazing feat of having half a dozen LI and literally none of them being actually appealing. Every main LI is a collection of red flags and negative character traits with little to offset that, and you have no control over who you want to interact with because of plot. Piling mountains of "tragic backgrounds" doesn't make characters endearing, it only takes out the sting of it and reduces everything to meaningless drama.
The main plot could have been interesting, if it wasn't completely lost between a dozen different plot threads, all pulling in different directions and turning the whole thing into a mess. The MC acts like either a passive bitch or an utter mongoloid, completely against his supposed background of a great champion wrestler.
The world is unbelievable and illogical, breaking its own rules. Breaking the law is apparently fine and dandy if it happens on the ring, as no one gets punished for the constant disregard of the organizations own rules, and the literal armed assault. Imagine if in MMA fight one of the contestants pulled out a baton an wailed on the opponent, while no one cares and no punishment is served. This happens several times.
The gameplay pretends to have depth, with stats and action choices, but in reality is a window dressing to what is basically a kinetic novel. The stats have no relevance to the main plot, house events have no relevance to the main plot and exist purely to segue into poorly thought out porn logic scenes, and progressing the main plot itself is either done by playing the guessing game of when to arbitrary hangout with one of the 8 characters, or far more sensibly just asking the help option for the next event.
The koikatsu visuals are at best adequate, hardly worth mentioning, if you played any of the other kk based games, you know what you will see.
Being koikatsu based also severely limits the actual "fights", because it just isn't made for that, so they end up looking like a joke.
The sex scenes are of two types, an out of nowhere plot contrivance. or "congratulating" the losing opponent, that for some reason really wants to ride your dick after getting the shit beat out of them. Oh, and doing that also reduces affection with your own fighters because :^) . And the story pretends like you DO actually go for those scenes, because despite the fact that I chose the LI girls, it was treated like the MC was going around fucking the fighters in a later event of random sex.
