The game sits in a slightly awkward spot, to be quite honest. Much like RWBY it hits a very specific niche, and a few people, myself included, are so happy with its pros that the cons don't matter. Objectively, the game has a few flaws that might be polished out down the line, the combat being by far the worst offender.
It is slow and reltionship focused, the porn parts are merely afterthoughts for now. If you come at it like you would the bog standard tittygame, you WILL be disappointed. For me that is a net positive, for others thats an absolute no-go.
As a result from the focus on relationships, you will have to replay it since the game will not let you "catch em all" in one go. I like this, because I am frankly a little tired of harem collect-a-thons like Love and Sex and such. If I want A harem-ish sort of game that doesnt feel like titty pokemon, I'll play Long Live the Princess by Belle (Simp Simp, Plug Plug. Play it!)
I personally enjoy this more as an interactive piece of romantic fanfiction, and I like that. I reiterate, your mileage might vary. Play it and find out. You can sink hours into it, but you will know within 30 mins tops whether it is your kind of game or not. There are no stupid twists and turns to put you off after the first half.
So yeah, this game is a 5/5 or 2/5 with very little inbetween.
This is more than sufficient enough to qualify as a review.(y)

one thing that bothers me is that you refferenced the game "long live the princess" as an example for something similar to this, but there is a BIG difference between JPDE and that game which is that JPDE is story focused and long live the princess can be reduced to the lewds and if i am honest i didnt thing the plot of the game was really that great (not saying it was bad but also not saying it was GOD tier^^)

also i as an example dont actually like rwbys story and characters that much but this game fixed a lot of the problems i had with the show

Question. How are we APK users supposed to get the LEWDS patched? We dont get a folder to replace. All ive got is a saves folder

you can recreate the path for the lewds
as in create the folders yourself to put them in



the pathing on andriod would be (you have to create some yourself)
saves>android>data>com.lizzy.jpde>files>game>images>CG>Lewds
and put the lewds in there and make sure they all have their own folder:
Ruby Dance
Bella
Evelyn
Neon
Winter, Madonna

Actually, no. It wasn't Long Live The Princess. It was Princess Waltz.

You seem to have misunderstood my point there (And I could have been a bit clearer in retrospect), I mentioned Long Live the Princess as a direct contrast to this game. As in, if I want a well made erotic game that CAN be reduced to the lewds (even though I wouldn't recommend it) that would be my choice. It has high production value, caters to a good variety of tastes and is not completely story-free.
The similarities to Princess Waltz are (unsurprisingly) much more obvious. LLtP and this game are just about opposites of each other intention wise. LLtP is very well made porn with a coherent if simple story and somewhat interesting characters to keep it together, this game has good characterization and character interaction with some erotica to spice it up. The minigame elements are a study in contrasts as well: this game has a serviceable combat mechanic integrated into the plot, LLtP a detective style gameplay loop.
A very important similarity that will be important down the line is that you will have to replay both games. Belle was very clear on some character routes being mutually exclusive, and the playboy route being somewhat discouraged. Much like JPDE even early choices WILL matter. The combination of clear differences and similarities in their core components made me compare the two games. That they are two of my favorites, and in my personal opinion the best in their respective niches currently in development, does help of course.

Not to offend the developer, but I've played about 15-20 minutes of the game up to where it becomes free roam and I'm bored to tears. Seeing it has such a high rating does this mean the game gets better or is it just not for me? I don't watch the anime that this is based on or anything, either.

If you've played just 15 minutes you're not at free roam yet, you're barely into the prologue.

And depends. If by 'gets better' you mean 'get down with easy and quick coming lewdness' that's not what this game is about. Other than the star ratings I'd suggest actually reading the reviews so you have a better idea of what the game is. It's not a pornathon if that's what you're looking for.

You can change the name. David is just the default. The game doesn't take the naming rule too seriously.

Yes, most characters do not look too small but some kind of do. Especially because of the different art styles, some characters can appear smaller in some syles.
I always do change the name in these games, but since David is my name I decided to keep the MC's name for a change. Then I discover that, like me, the MC has memory issues. Even his build and eye color match mine. Lol

So there IS some lewdness at some point? That would be great. I am enjoying the story but was beginning to wonder if anyone was ever going to get nekkid.

”paste over this"? I think I hate you.
There's also the phone number to call in-game :p

Also, thanks to all the recent new reviews. A lot of very interesting food for thought.

Regarding the time to do dates in-game, the more recent ones have been non-saturday tied and the aim is to eventually be able to do them all during the week too.

Edited my review in response to this, thanks for the heads up! I thoroughly look forward to that being the case.
