I'm curious. Do you guys farm lvls in combat games or just cheat?
Playing the game naturally is how you're meant to see the content.
Your score changes how many points you get for your next run. A bad player will play bad, and slowly build up points until they can win. A good player, will play well, and build up points quickly, win quickly and get to the endings faster.
Cheating bypasses all that, and you're not experiencing the game fully. Especially when it comes to strategy in knowing which stats to invest in.

That being said, playing the game normally doesn't fit my sexual preferences. I prefer female assertive sexual content.
To play JSK's games well you have to be a a hardcore rapist asshole. That's what gets you the most points.
The easiest ending to get is the rape end. Getting that ending gives you tons of points to invest more into your character usually.
You get more points whenever cream the girls which you can only do by raping them.
I'm torn on it, but I play normally, just so I can experience the game and its strategies normally. If a game's rape feels too heavy to me though I'll just cheat. I don't think I played Esper Oyaji normally.
