I didn't have many expectations when I decided to read this, but it turned out to be better than I thought. The main thing to consider here, is that Imouto Paradise does try to do something different, in particular separating itself from more of the same, in terms of 18+. This a VN that is very easy to criticize in general terms, but they delivered more than enough on specific content.
Positive:
- The protagonist is "refreshingly idiotic" and says the most outlandish things. Being an honest pervert who is already lusting after his sisters is nothing new, but he gets himself in many amusing situations. An idiot protagonist is a problem, but one that is aware of the fact, and owns it, is a credit to the VN.
- H-scenes have lots of non-penetrative sex and/or fetish play. If you are wondering, it is a good thing, and Imouto Paradise has many different concepts that set it apart from a straight-up Nukige, and the average VN with heroine routes. It doesn't have to be original, but being bold is very welcome.
- Heroines are OK. In archetype terms there's only one little sister, but they made efforts to give the heroines some diversity, hobbies, personalities, quirks... The tsundere, the waifu, the genki (energetic girl), and the slightly sadistic one, don't make for a bad cast.
Neutral:
- Comedy is so bad, that it's good. Imagine talking on the phone with someone you don't know, and say hi it's me, then proceed to talk about wetting the bed, and ending with a question regarding body hair. If this was a movie, it might have gotten a cult following.
Negative:
- Many possible mentions, but this is not a VN with serious aspirations, so there's no point in talking about writing, story, cast interactions, route quality, production values, and so on. It's a VN where you get nice H-scenes with "your" favorite imouto. That's it.
Score: Imouto Paradise is a 6/10, and to no one's surprise you should read this if you like little sister (imouto) characters. Since this has "2 and a half Lolis", and a harem route, fans of those tags are likely to be pleased too. Finally, if you came here for the incest tag, just forget it, these characters are as much family, as they are 18+ years old.
