    [Rev @ v0.10.0 Part 2]

    I dunno what this is trying to be, but it's trying too hard to be it.

    Art's fine.

    I found the writing intensely unlikable, pretentious, smarmy, and it smacked its head trying to break the 4th wall too often.

    Porn's here. So's a ton of other off-putting crap I didn't care about.

    Gameplay is an uninspired point-based flag chase peppered with kaRAYzeh Subvert Your Expectations moments.

    TLDR: Nope-y Nope-y BitchImSure Club.

    I'm more than halfway done through the game, and at this point I don't even care if there are no lewd scenes (of which, there are quite a few although nothing excessive). The interactions between the characters, their personality and the plot (what is apparent at least) is absolutely beyond the norm. The characters are so brilliantly fleshed out, that it almost seems like a slice of life anime. Unironically, the "protagonist" is not mindless and more often than not, I tend to disagree with his actions (the drawbacks of the medium and a set narrative). The soundtrack is arguably better than any other visual novel I've played, of a similar genre at least- which is nothing short of phenomenal in my honest opinion. The only negative aspect I can think of is the repetitiveness at some points, however it is nowhere near a deal breaker. Given the option, I would wipe my memory and play through at least a couple times more. I did not mention best girl because frankly speaking, all of them are (If someone hurts my homie I will hurt them). A fantastic experience, overall.

    P great... I think?

    I've bee playing every update as it comes out for the last 3 years. I really need to replay the game and collect my thoughts totally, but from the experience of the past 3 years I'd say the game is pretty great... i think?

    There are some extremely funny moments and some really good events/characters. Almost all of the characters feel distinct, and I want to know more about whats going to happen to them. The general dark themes of the game and exploration of really evil people is interesting to me too. In general, every update theres usually atleast one moment or event I really end up liking.

    The "I think" portion comes from the games kind of meandering nature. There is a lot that happens, and things have been picking up recently, but it still feels like theres so much setup without much payoff. Its hard to stay excited about the game when every new update feels like one step forward, two steps. In addition, some of the poetic writing or abundant nihilistic moments can fall flat.

    Despite my criticisms, its something that's worth giving a try.
    If you like the writing you will probably REALLY like it and if you don't you'll probably hate it (Seems to be no middle ground for this game).

    This is one of the best games I've ever played, and most definitely the best koikatsu out there! Really the genius behind Lessons in Love is Selebus' storytelling. The writing is amazing, and there's so much humor and personality in all of the characters, including the MC, that you hardly see in other games. On top of that he manages to somehow make all of the girls look good. I've played a lot of other games that always had one or two girls that are just butt ugly, but I was pleasantly surprised when I got into this little gem.

    For the people who get stuck or complain that the game is a grindfest, just take a look at the discord or be a little more patient. This is definitely not one of those stories where you meet a girl the first day and seduce her the next. This is a visual novel that takes time to develop a relationship. If you are keeping track of the affection levels, it seems like events may trigger at specific intervals or something like that, so just take a couple minutes and just do the work. If you actually care about the story and its characters, the wait is totally worth it.

    I think that the most impressive feat here is that Selebus pumps out updates biweekly. You can't really say that about other games. This mastermind is really pushing out quality content for a lot of players and he's been the only one that I'm actually glad to support on Patreon. If you guys are looking for a game to play and thoroughly enjoy what it has to offer, instead of just mindlessly rapid-clicking, then this game is perfect for you.

    Keep up the good work Selebus! <3

    The gameplay is honestly quite grindy and very slow a lot of the times, but this game is probably the most well-written and intriguing porn game I have ever played, like I'm genuinely invested in the plot.

    This is one of the better games on this site. Not becuase of the H-sences, but becasue of its story and its writing. This is (in my opinion) a very rare game, it focuses alot on the story and the personalized character. You can feel the diffrencen when two diffrent character are talking, and for me, is something i love and makes them more relatable, they almost feel human. What i also love is the "horror", but its more a psychological horror and has no gore. But what made me hook on this game is the "massage" of the game, and how good the dev put its togheter.

    On the gameplay, its quite grindy, and i can see how some will be discourage by the confusing nature of the game, but there is always the discord and the lovely people to help you out.

    The dialogue is very good and consistent whit the story.

    Now for the nice parts, H-sences. The only way i can describe them is, satisfying. What i think many devs forget (if you are making an story VN) is the build up to the event, and it makes me satisfying even when they happen, i feel like i have actully deserved it. It makes a bond between the player and the character.

    The only thing that slightly annoys me is the older sence, which mabye could have a re-do.

    5/5, please more clocks :)

    This game, honestly, was one of the best games I've ever played:

    Pros:

    •Beautiful dialogue and a superbly written plot; characters felt so real.

    •Great porn scenes that actually make sense. None of the bullshit hentai logic; you can fuck a girl when it logically makes sense to fuck one.

    •Although not all girls have porn scenes YET, the ones who do have great scenes - most of which are animated.

    •If you wanna just jerk off, download the gallery unlocker (google Lessons in Love Gallery Unlocker Mod) and jerk off via the gallery scenes. It takes time to get to the h-scenes, just like it takes time to fuck a girl in real life.

    •If you've liked Grisaia or Katawa Shoujo, this game is definitely for you.

    Tips:

    •Helpful to read the guide book on the front page of this discussion, right under the download links. Will alleviate most confusion.

    •Google "save editor." and use them for the affection stats (and lust stats when you unlock them) if you hate grinding.

    •ALWAYS SAVE every time you need to make a choice, as to not regret it later. Trust me, it happens.

    This (v0.09.0 Part 2) is kind of hard to rate for me but I will try anyway.
    At the beginning it was fun to play. I liked the dialogues and the girls are really cute.
    But the more I played the more annoyed I got. The grind felt excessive at some point. I had to seach for events to trigger without knowing what triggers them or how high I need to grind the stats for them. I felt the dialogues were getting longer and weirder with each event. I just spend days (ingame) clicking and skipping without getting anywhere or anything.
    I was at a point where it just got really boring and when I finally found a new event I just didn't care anymore, it registerd in my brain as blablabla skipskipskip blablabla boooring nothing happens.
    And then finally... I hit rock bottom... I'm halfway through the main events where it doesn't matter where you go nobody is there (Reset? or the one before? Can't remember).
    At that point I just deleted the game because it just felt grindy, boring and weird as fuck and it didn't motivate to keep playing at all.

    Fantastic game, lovingly crafted with well-designed characters, who are each treated like actual people who build relationships with the main character at their own personalized rate rather than being lewded just because it's an H game. The game also receives frequent updates, has beautiful storytelling with funny moments and scary moments, as well as touching moments.

    I have never supported a game on Patreon before, but this game's story and characters are so good, that I practically had to.

    I don't know how this game is getting 5 star ratings, but 2 words can describe this game. Boring Grindfest. That is the only way to describe this game with the same exact text to skip through day in and day out in each in day game. Are there actually any NSFW events in it? I've come across maybe 4 total. When you do get to have sex with Ami, after the first time you actually can't see anything below the waist. Same goes for Ayane. What's the point of going to their dorm rooms to have "fun" when you can't see anything. It can't even be called an open world sandbox game. There are less than 10 places to actually visit. You can't even roam around the house of the MC. The events that trigger are so far in between it's more exciting to watch paint dry than to skip through boring text just to reach them. Maybe in another 2 years or more this game might actually be considered a "good" game with more events and less text to skip through. The UI is in desperate need of a major overhaul. The player shouldn't have to hit escape to see the levels of each girl or the events. The computer in the MC's room is pretty much useless at this point in the game. If you are looking for a quick "fap" game you will be sorely disappointed. I can understand the dev wanting to build relationships instead of just jumping into the h-scenes and the NSFW content. But going through 20 or more in game days for an event to trigger?

    This is one of my favorite games on this site. Love the look of the game's scenery and especially the different girls and their different personalities. Each girl has their own story and doesn't really rely on the other characters to advance their arc. Last time i played was version 5. Since then it has been regularly been updating and i can't wait to dive right back into .

    When I downloaded this game I was really curious about why people seemed to like It so much and now that I almost completed It I can only agree with them. I think that the characters are well developed and the nsfw scenes are neat but what surprised me the most Is the story, in fact at some point I started to play just to discover more about the story and the "lore" that i almost forgot that It was supposed to be a porn game. I'm not a fan of horror but I appreciated the creepy moments , I can say they're well done and not just made to scare you. I absolutely reccomend It, it deserves to be played !

    Usually i don´t write reviews coz english is not my native language.. and i don´t want to torture you :D but i make an exception here

    Positive

    - The MC is not dull or an ass (it´s rare these days)
    - Every character is well written and has a personality (also rare XD )
    - There is no real grind + you can focus on 1 girl and don´t have to raise the other girls to unlock events (at least i didn´t notice)
    - It´s not a maze like many other sandbox games
    - There is a good amount of content for a game that was released a half year ago

    Negaive

    - Nothing so far

    As others have said, high quality game with a well written, engaging storyline. Characters are unique and realistic, you will really care for most, if not all of them. H-scenes are great too.

    This is the first review I write on this site because I finally feel that a dev really deserves praise for his work. In just 7 months, the amount of high-quality content created is quite impressive. Twice per month updates without ever any delays or excuses is a refreshing pace!

    Not many devs can boast about all that and so I would encourage you all to help fund Selebus so that he may continue full-time work on this superb game!

    Wow! I have played quite a bit of adult games since I found out about f95, but I don't think theres a single one I would've played if it wasn't a porn game. This is actually so good that I literally could play it without the porn. Idk what else to say, everything about this game is phenomenal from the characters to the story to the setting. Even if you don't like some of the tags ( I think horror scares off alot of people), trust me this game is worth it.

    Also this game has a shit ton of content for only being 6 months old. Definitly a dev worth supporting (actually created a patreon cause of this game lol).

    This game is frankly way better than it has any right to be as a 'porn game'. The writing is great, the characters are awesome and I really enjoy how the game makes me happy, it's a nice way to spice things up and keep me interested.

    I feel like it's worth mentioning that this game had me hooked enough to keep playing it far later into the night than I was planning to on multiple occasions.

    I'm not great at reviews so I'll keep this short and just say: I'd play this game even without the lewd! It's so well written and funny and thought provoking and exciting and fucking horifying and the girls are so cute and interesting and yeah! Selebus is a pretty cool dude too. Ok bye

    Meech

    Have you ever wanted to have sex with cute young girls, but also feel the call of the void while doing so? This is the game for you. Not only does it have great, fleshed out characters with deep and sometimes rather depressing backstories, but the writing and time put into the game is apparent in every scene. Over time you actually get to feel for the characters and care what happens about them. The mystery and secrets in the game leave more to be desired and known. The story only adds to the sex scenes and makes them 10x better then they would be on their own. So if cute likable characters, feelings, and the sense of dread of the unknown is your thing, play this game.
