Unity - Completed - Golden Axe Idol [Final] [Mr.H]

Disclaimer
This game only has a female protagonist. There isn't really any NTR because it is only one part and it feels like a pretend play where 'you' (the female protagonist) is married to a 'male' (non-protagonist) and you cuck the 'male' because "idol belongs to fans". Additionally, there is a pure route.

Short review
The game is entertaining and enjoyable enough that I could finish it in one sitting under the span of a few hours.

Long review
As with all games, the beginning can be confusing. However, after a few tries I got the code down and it was smooth sailing from there to reach the end of the pure route. I have read some posts complaining about the lack of CG, NTR or bugs when they have not even played the game itself which is odd to say the least. AFAIK, the only 'bug' I had is that when clicking on a button I had to wait for 1-3 seconds for it to load which was a little annoying but not a 'bug'. A person stated it was 5 seconds for them which I feel is exaggerated but it could be hardware differences. As for the CG, I didn't feel the lack of it mainly because of its relatively short gameplay time. In addition, the NTR wasn't present at all because lewdness 0. Besides this, I feel like I should also mention that I just skipped most dialogue except the important parts with the ctrl button of course (someone was clicking through them ). As an additional note, I only played it 'once' because the story is linear and there is no random elements.

TLDR
Enticed by the art and potential story but stayed for the management gameplay. Play this game if you're looking for a short enjoyable trip.

Postscript
I only played the pure route where female protagonist gets revenge (+0.5) and completely avoidable NTR is always a plus (+0.5) .

Rating

The Good:
Art/ H CG
Passion project of a single developer
Lighthearted dialogue that does not take itself seriously

The Mixed:

Story
The Bad:
Few H CG
Repetitive nature of the Game
Recycling of H CG for majority of the game's playtime/ scenes

Final Verdict:
I rated the game two stars instead of one because it has heart and soul (not a soulless cash grab of a game) but not 3 stars or more because of the game's flaws.

A business management game where you play a girl (or maybe the girl's manager? Hard to tell from the translation) who is trying to continue her father's blacksmith business, and forge golden axes to chop down ice pillars to rescue the world from all that ice. Unfortunately the gameplay is slow and grindy. You do various events to get cash to upgrade your shop. All of which involves clicking through lots of dialogue that doesn't really go anywhere. Just took too long to get anywhere for me.

The game seems really cute at first with its art style, but it's purely to deceive you. This game not only is incredibly slow, both in pacing and horribly UI design, but it also is incredibly lazy and will reuse the same 3 scenes over and over again. After 30 minutes of grinding, I managed to get the same art repeated 5 times in different "events".

This is a game where you click a button, wait 5 seconds for it to load, click somewhere else and find out you can't go there yet or that there isn't an event there, wait 5 more seconds for the UI to reload, and then repeat forever. The porn is cute, but there's almost none of it, and what is there just gets repeated over and over again.

Just a terrible experience that isn't worth it.

Art looks good, but there's not really any gameplay and there seems to only be about 6 CGs in total that are just recycled over and over. The translation is okay, the plot is absolutely idiotic (though who really cares about that)

Biggest disappointment is just the lack of scenes.
