Reviewed as of v0.45: If you like smart writing, hot female characters, and a compelling storyline, then "Jessica O'Neil Hard News" (JOHN) should appeal to you. I am a fan of AVNs with female protaganists, especially those who have real agency--that is, they're not simply thrown into lewd situations by blackmail or other crap done by douchy male characters. In other words, I'm not a fan of AVNs where women get "corrupted." Just as plenty of men enjoy sex, plenty of women do, too, and it's fun to play a female character who does.
The dialogue and storylines in JOHN are smart and feel real. I've never worked for a newspaper, but I have been a professional TV and radio reporter, and I got the impression that stoperART has genuine journalism or media experience. The sexy situations also strike me as realistic. Not realistic in the sense that these kinds of things happen all the time, but realistic in the sense that nothing I've seen so far is preposterous or even terribly out of the ordinary, at least for a hot character like Jessica O'Neil. Pulled together, the scenarios and characters--fleshed out with great art, animations, and writing--make JOHN one of the most erotic AVNs I've ever played.
The story also provides lots of replay value, as choices put Jessica on different paths with different outcomes.
This game escalates sexual encounters gradually, but is not exactly a slow burn, as there are hot lewd scenes from the very start. At the same time, it's clear that future versions will only get hotter. I, for one, can't wait to see the next update!
