[SPOILER ALERT]
There's a lot of things that I need to talk about this game.
First, I am actually enjoying this game. The graphics are great, the scenes are also great, and the VO actually pretty great too. Most AVNs that have this option are usually bad, but this is the exception. So far, I am actually impressed with the quality of FreshWomen.
Second, I will talk about the story. To be fair, Season 1 is very good. FW's story kinda reminds me a little bit with Summertime Saga, but it has its differences. The story starts with you being a freshman with some memory loss. I'm glad that the writer didn't make it permanent, that would've killed the game right away. You come to study at a college where it's located at your dad's last workplace. College is not your main mission, finding your dad's whereabout is. At this city called Minerva Bay, you meet new people and also "new" people. During his investigation, his newly found friends are helping him to uncover your greatest mystery. I can't talk more about it but yeah I am very entertained with Season 1 so I'll give it 5/5.
Season 2 however, it's kinda different, In S2 E1, the story still revolves around MC and his dad, it also gives some closure about the entire drama (but it's not over yet entirely). S2 E2 is where I have a feeling that Oppai-Man is starting to lose control of the narratives. In this particular episode, the "main girls" are mostly sidelined by the whores of Hell's Angels (previously The Station). I don't know what the fuck Oppai-Man thinking at this point, Sam, Lily, and Susan are already forgiving MC and even asking him to start over. They even gave his apartment and job back but the MC is suddenly saying no to them and proceed to stay and work in the strip club. Motherfucker just started college and decided to take over a strip club? what kind of bullshit is this? if it happened to me, I would've chose Sam's apartment and worked for Susan again rather than risking my fucking neck for some random strip club. Guess what? in the end he endangers everyone who works there and they're in crisis of being expelled from the college because Hell's Angels is operating illegaly in the campus ground. Imagine you've being given a normal life but then you rejected it because your brain didn't fuction properly all of sudden.
Seriously dude, this is truly disappointing. All I want is S2 E3 will be about MC clearing his and his workers' names and get over with it. I don't want this whole shithow become the main issue for next few episodes. Julia is also missing entirely in Season 2, what a bummer. No wonder why Being a DIK is always on the top of the food chain, DPC really knows how to write a consistent story for years. The fact that 97% of AVN writers don't even know how to be consistent need to be studied. NLT's previous work (The Genesis Order) and Lust Theory S2 are some of the example of it, I just hope FreshWomen doesn't follow the same path.
I'll keep my eye on this, I might change the stars in the future. It could be worse or better. You're lucky I gave you four stars, Oppai-Man.
EDIT: I decided to lower the rating to three stars because I don't believe the developer care much about the storyline anymore after recent update. It's getting more ridiculous at this point. Mind you, this is the lowest rating I can give for this game. I won't give it two or one star because even the story is going off road, at least other things stay true to their path.
