I'm been wondering if I should try this, since the overall reviews are very positive, but latest ones are pretty bad. Did anything happen in terms of development? What can I expect about this game if I try it? Is the story good (no spoilers please). I like games with a decent writing, but at the same time the latest reviews aren't the best, and I would like to have an idea why.

Thanks in advance.

The game is good and well written, IMO. If that's what you're looking for, I would recommend. It's a normal VN with adult themes, not a porn game though. And the situations, while sometimes overly dramatic, are mostly realistic. If you're not into a ton of relationship drama, make mostly solo routes for each girl should keep you out of most of it. The nicer you are to the girls, the more likely they will pursue you and you'll have to make some tough choices.

Not sure why the latest would be worse. This is a fantastic story. The latest update gave a lot of players what they have been waiting for in terms of love interests. This is a character-driven, story-focused drama about the lives of 18- to 20-year-olds navigating the woven mess of love. It does that rather well.

This is one of my favorites. The last update kinda ends abruptly on one of the LI paths where it should of continued and that scene should of played different based on who's path you are on there was no reason to just end it like it did. Especially because this update she was suspose to be one of the main girls with new stuff, yet 1/2 of her content is locked behind another girls path for no reason where it could of contuined and played differently like i said early.

When it comes to one of the LI there is 2 camps when it comes to on particular LI. She keeps blueballing the MC or there are ones like me that appreciate the slow burn off it

Another LI issue I can think of would be to much of spoiler even without using their names or being vague. Just know people been wanting to get with her for awhile and it seem you have to do something people dont want to do to get with her.

Last LI issue I can think of : This LI was introduced really late and people debate about her actions and intentions in this update. As some feel she pulled a 180 how she acted before but personally I felt like we didn't know enough about her before to really say she pulled a 180 on her personality.

Last reason I can think maybe some people think the story progressing is a little slow in certain parts of it but next update gonna be a story focus I feel like it's fine for the most part. Even if this update was mostly about LI there was a really small bit of story progress.

Overall it's a great game I personally like pretty much all the characters to some degree wont comment on the dialogue or writing cause I feel like I never notice bad dialogue or writing.

Thanks for the answers above. Just another question, from what I understand, the MC can only have one LI correct? Or something like having more, but if he ends up "being caught" it complete breaks the relations with the characters?

Really??? What do they say?

And overrall it's pretty good; wouldn't say there's a plot per-se but the interesting thing about this one is that your choices do matter and if you fuck around you're going to pay the price at some point bc every relationship is meant to intertwine(The name) with another one.
But, to me lately it's been kinda disapointing since I want to follow some chicks that are into another chick's route(Which are not that interesting if you wanna know but Nyx just loves to give them an impressive amount of time at screen) and if I wanna get into them route I'm force to be an asshole and cheat those chicks; and everything just gets on and on and things just end being so, unfair let's say since to me the most interesting chicks or the ones who got my attention aren't those three. But hey, that's just me, maybe you are different and you will love it till the end and you certainly will not get pissed update after update.

Yeah, the game is geared at this point to have only one LI. There's hints there couple be a possible throuple or two, but that's just speculation. If you're seeing more than one LI, there will usually be a point you have to make a choice which one to continue seeing. Some of those paths haven't hit that choice yet though.

As of now, you can’t be on the Elena path without also being in Layla’s path, right?

A few things I’m hoping for in the next update:

1. Anal with Kinky Cara

2. More romance with Nikki

3. Dates with Elena (her path being the most restrictive makes her that much more appealing)

4. Finally sticking some dick into Erynn, the game’s queen of cockteasing

first of all my man
respect for the name (y)

the game itself is not the worst one on the planet
it's a high school drama, really heavy on the drama part
the characters are mostly likeable but you'll have to jump through hoops to get certain scenes if you're not playing with a guide
and be prepared to get caught if you're on paths for 2 of them because everything is INTERTWINED

but the most important thing of all to keep in mind - as sure as your first CM 01/02 transfer would be the great to, you need to switch your brains off when playing this. don't even think about it, turn it off, it's mandatory.
just follow the guide for certain chicks if you wanna bang them and don't be overthink ceetain situations confused how certain reactions have no basis in human psychology whatsoever. this is a mexican soap opera. some of the characters even speak spanish. the reactions are stupid and they're there for the sake of more drama.
