RPGM - Completed - How to Raise a Happy NEET [v2.0.9+ DLC v1.3] [RuririSoft]

How to Raise a Happy NEET is a charming little cohabitation game with great animations and a cute main character that is sadly let down by the rushed progression and under-baked writing.

Graphics
The visuals are really nice. The Live2D animations are smooth and expressive and the character art is a big highlight for me. Shizuku is really adorable and the whole art-style of the game gives it a warm, cosy feeling.

Gameplay
Gameplay is quite straightforward. There’s very grind in this game. You will mostly be working to earn money to buy items from the 4 different stores. As well as interacting with Shizuku to gain Affection, Life Lesson Points and H Level to progress the story and unlock more NSFW interactions with Shizuku.

Story
Sadly, the story is probably the biggest let-down. The game starts off promising but doesn’t fully pay-off the interesting premise. Progression with Shizuku feels underdeveloped and you’re able to reach NSFW content far too fast. I would’ve preferred a slower burn with more dialogue, bonding moments and exploration of her backstory. You don’t really learn much about her as a character before the game ends, which is a missed opportunity imo.

NSFW Content
The animations and scenes themselves are solid, the Live2D work really shines here I think. You get a variety of positions to unlock and features to play with. For anyone who enjoys voice acting, this one is great!

My Verdict
How to Raise a Happy NEET is a cute, pleasant and visually appealing game that’s easy to enjoy in the short term but sadly lacks depth in progression and character writing. If you value animations and presentation, it’s worth a play-through as it isn't too long. Though it could have been greatly enhanced with a bit more fleshing out in terms of dialogue and character development.

Art is phenomenal and the voice acting is quite solid, but the premise feels a little underdeveloped.

It feels like instead of the author wanting to tell a story about a shut-in girl that starts living with you or wanting to leverage that situation for interesting gameplay... it feels like it was convenient to create a game like this so you have to worry less about other scenarios or more elaborate mechanics

Shizuku-chan is easy to please, and after you dirty talk her a couple times she'll simply start accepting sexual interactions with you, progressively accepting more and more as you unlock features. The sex content is really good, and theres a fairly decent amount of variety - as far as the premise goes but besides a quick fap, I don't think there's a lot going on here

The game has a really nice "vibe" and I like the art of it a lot but I almost feel I'm more in love with the idea of this game than the game itself, I got decently far but I don't know if I'll finish
All in all its worth playing at least a bit, but keep your expectations grounded

Kind of hope the dev makes more robust games in the future.

Overall, decent game, its a standard cohabitation simulator, albeit with less pressure than other games, that is, the timeline is basically free, no 30 day limit or any of that. The scenes are basically all live 2d which start out as basic and you can upgrade as you progress through the game getting more positions and whathave you. Story-wise, pretty boring and basic, no real backstory, just hey heres this neet, she lives with you now. You can interact with her and talk a bit about her past and whatnot but it never felt like there was really much there. Overall, story is mid. gameplay is easy, but uninspired, scenes and variety is good though. ends up being 3 stars. very average cohabitation simulator, and i think this is a perfect example of an exactly AVERAGE one that you could use to compare to other games in the same genre

The story is about a girl who is supposed to be related to you suddenly living with you. The gameplay is extremely simple. You have two stats to raise and this is done either by using items or talking with her. You have a skill tree which essentially unlocks new scenes. There's not too much depth to the story or the relationship. It's straightforward and serviceable.

Pretty nice small game, almost feels like it had a bit of RPG over it with the "skill" choices, the update stuff feels a bit rushed and pregnancy could atleast have included a single sex scene but it dident, but other then that its pretty fun and a somewhat fast playthrough since theres really not all that much to the story.

But yeah i would recommend this when you feel like a fast short game without much of a grind to it.

Truly a lovely game, while it's whole point ain't new to all games so far, this one has a particular way to do things where love is correctly expressed from beginning to the end,

Even if lust > intimacy, isn't corrupted just accepting her feelings torwards the MC.

I've shared my save here, all CGs unlocked, it needs someone to fully translate some icons but understandable.

It's cute, in the most barest sense, the art and the scene are all that make up the game.
If you are an Indoor guy who want a gullible sheltered girl, this game might appeal more to you.

It's a cohabitation game but the only people that matter is the 2 of you, even in the most water down game with similar theme, they at least tries to implement some kind of world building, but none of that matter, the girl isn't interested going outside and you vibe with that, so let's ignore satire slur Neet used such as "Normies" and "Winner in Life".

Guess I just don't buy this title, not the scenario mind you; NEET is real word and problem, but the girl show no sign like one.
It's like the Neet is actually the MC with how antisocial his life are even though being a member of working society.

Great game, only complaint is that it is a bit short.

Minimal grinding, money can be earned fairly quickly and once you have it under control it won't really be an issue moving forward. There is also no "time limit", so no need to save scum for optimal rolls and ideal event outcomes. Also, the game is very clear when you have made the "wrong" decision, so you again do not need to second guess if you have made the wrong decision. Game provides a really user friendly experience so you can focus on banging the girl instead of calculating the best set of moves.

Cute cohabitation game with interactive elements where you are in control,
during the play you meet Shizuku and as you progress in the story the character development is getting better.

Has some good animation scenes

a bit repetitive when farming money, but a good short game that can be done in 2-3hours
game has 2 endings that can be seen in a single playtrough.

How to Raise a Happy Neet is a simple management game made by Rurisoft, impressively coded for an rpgm engine. The simple story consists of a single man living modestly facing the task of helping a girl in legal consent age for that country to open up to the world and leave her past traumas behind. The game follows the simplistic idea of free time, free work, upgrades, and interactions with the girl to improve affection and intimacy, strengthening the relationship and allowing more in depth options. The art is pretty, with a touch for the cute and adorable aesthetic, but nothing too special or remarkable. The management gameplay changes temporarily to an interactive mode when your relationship is strong enough. Unlocking abilities in the skill tree allows more complex options during the interactive moment. The game offers a wide range of possibilities, with diverse reactions based on your relationship level, creating a decent immersive experience. Sadly the game comes with the typical japanese censorship, in the form of mosaics which would ruin the entire game, but thank the good will of modders, an uncensored patch exists to curb the always disastrous and pointless censorship forced by japanese laws. The game is quite short and can be completed easily in a couple of hours without much effort. It’s a solid game with a strong foundation, but it would greatly benefit from a broader range of options and increased variety

Hands down one of the best H game. Simple, right amount of grinding but not too crazy. Focus on sex scene and animation and sounds. Story is simple enough. Great art and character. Every time you interact with her also show a little animation. Lots of options with different poses. No real consequence to your action. Just unlock different ending. Why cant more H game be like this? This is gold standard imo.

peak game, the story is a little bit too short and simple but it's acceptable for me. the H-Scene on the other hand is so good, they even made more than 4 position you can change. not to mention they also add different state for the girl after certain times of orgasm

A very cute game in which you take care of a grandmother's teenage girl and while you feed her and heal her, you slowly connect with her and get to know her and her personal story, that's basically the plot
As for Gympali
There is a bit, I mean that "going to work" is just pressing a button [you have 2-3 modes of hard work - from morning to evening working for two or three hours or working for an hour and this affects the strength of the character I would be happy if there was work content instead of pressing a button would do something

And regarding my acquaintance with the girl
The game is an rpg game and as you progress in a relationship with her you get points with which you raise your skill in bed which is very nice
That way the game doesn't end too quickly and you really connect with the girl more [at least in my eyes]
But there is something that bothers me a little that in my opinion hurts "sex" it's the voice sigh
Unfortunately there isn't and the sounds you hear are the "sex toys" you buy and your penis collides with her body and it's a bit off-putting and I got bored very quickly and wanted to move on


animation
I really liked the animation, it's very beautiful and the girl is very beautiful, at least in my eyes, it's fun to look at her during our "free time" because the creator definitely did a wonderful job in the small details [you'll know when you play] and it's fun that he's still working on this game [updates on the way]

There is one thing but very marginal
There are situations where objects disappear after certain scenes [the condoms disappeared after moving a scene]

In conclusion
I still really liked the game and I'm glad there are games like this that don't give much
But they give love to the product in the best way, and I say well done, and regarding the small things that bothered me, I'm quite forgiving because there is definitely an investment in it that is a shame to miss

An unbelievably enjoyable and lamplike game. I've played a lot of different games, but this one has settled in my heart. I look forward to the continuation of this author.Excellent animations and drawing style is attached. There is a groundwork for developing relationships and all sorts of interactions outdoors and beyond.

Well it was a pretty fu game to play but kinda short like 40 minutes of gameplay if you want to get everything still its a good game with a lot of content and Cg animations. The desing of the gir it very nice and the Va its great.
Good Game good Wank 8,5/10 (Sorry for my bad english)

Since I don't get around to rating my favorite games, I'll rate the ones I've currently played.

Super cute game, the rape tag could be irritating but there is a sweet romance here without blood and violence.

It even has a useful metastory that can lead to a real happy ending or one like you know from hentai games.

The length is perfect and there is hardly any grind.

You'll even be rewarded with occasional cutscenes.

Now voice actor and maybe 1.2 more fetishes like footjob and its more then perfect.

5/5

Final Score: 3,5/5

1. Story: There is a small story about the girl past, but nothing much. (2/5)

3. Sound: There are some lewd noises and music. (4/5)

6. +18: The art is really good. (4/5)
7. Amount of content: It's a short game, that you can rush and end it fast. But there are a nice amount of content. (4/5)

The game is short, fun, cute and easy to fall in love with.
Beautiful, good artwork. And Shizuku is very cute.
The Ecchi system isn't anything new or special. There are many sex positions to choose. Can change camera angles and has a simple control system. But there are very few commands to press. There is no changing of clothes. There are unfortunately few events during the game and relationship development. So it got boring a little too quickly.
But I still feel like it's a good game. And I really like this game among relationship development simulation games.
And the game looks like it's still being developed. And there might be a sequel or something like that too. That Makes me want to continue following this developer.

This game works with the classic simulator model, where the protagonists live together and because of this, they develop intimacy and eventually have sex. It's a whole game of repetition which, in reality, will depend on the development of the story, the lines, situations and so on.

Great game, good story, good art, good moans, I'll never get tired of the classic formula of living with someone and developing a relationship, it may be my weak spot but I'll be fair with the review.
It has a couple of endings, it's 4-5 hours long, provides a nice vibe, and I'm surprised that the game passed the r7, but that's good because more people were able to play it that way.
A solid 4/5, I'd play it again if my memories were erased.
