NiF is really a slow burn, but I think it makes for a good portrait of MC's and other characters, plus the plot regarding MC's mental state is as important (if not more) as h scenes and personally I enjoy VNs with nice, slower pace with more grounded approach. Regarding skills, I don't know if you've read it but the skill tree is being revised and there's gonna be more cunning skills useful for subs (Humiliate her and Humiliate me is made into one Humiliation skill that can be leveled up to Degradation, there's pain play skill in cun too) and the dev said that for unlocking some scenes/relationships players will need to combine skills from more than one skill category.It also kinda starts a bit mellow and boring I'd say - tried it for a while and it didn't do much to keep me interested. I think it's one of those games where you have to keep playing till you get to the truly good parts. (if you're ok with the art that is)
Right now I'm trying "Nothing is forever", and while this one certainly has good writing and keeps me entertained, and I already know I'm only gonna pick skills on affectionate and "humiliate me" from the cunning tree so that I can be dominated the crap out of, it's probably even more of a slowburn than the Big Score! It made me think about chess though and the closest it came to a sex scene so far is it showing me a pretty girls destroy a smug asshole's sicilian defense in a chess tournament final, so I guess there's that!
More seriously, Nothing is Forever seems good both artwise and promising storywise, but you probably have to play it with a decent amount of patience.
And Big Score always bugged be; there's a lot of content/characters I didn't like (the mommy stuff, babysitter, MC's love for a girl), I was always interested only in the black haired girl, but between uninteresting scenes and drawing style I lost any desire to play. And now that you say it got boring I think I've made the right decision.
