I don't fully agree that all male LI are twinks. Clearly, we're talking about teenagers so that's that, but two of the five male LIs, Cal and Vace, are rather buff especially in their adult version.
I haven't found the game especially grindy either, at least not in the classic sense.
They are teenagers, just not skinny, if you have to distinguish, maybe "twunk" but they are really not buffed.
How much you tolerate grinding is subjective (Personally I dislike grind without substantial gameplay)
That's why I didn't use the word "especially grindy".
But the core game-loop is still a grind fest: You click buttons > Stats go up > Game progress.
It's true the grind is more refined (if your "classic sense" is 99% of Html grind fest porn game on this site),
and hs more bells & whistles, like "deck-building" but braindead level simplified, or "Exploration" which is really just point clicking on a map,
Tho it's actually quite enjoyable to see how characters growing from 10 to 20.
Also, the writing is too surface level (and sometimes cringe) for me,
But the game is clearly made for teenagers / young adults, so I'm not saying it's bad, I'm not the targeted audience.
To be clear: This game is better than most porn game on this site. But it's not a good comparison.
People play porn games for the porn, so game-play elements can get a pass.
Since it's a "normal" game, you compare it to other "normal" games, on their own merit of game-play.
