Ren'Py - Lessons in Love [v0.53.0] [Selebus]

Before, I thought this game felt a bit pretentious, but had potential. Today, I would like to rescind both of these statements. The game has no potential, and it's very pretentious. I would also like to add a third, perhaps far more important aspect:

This game is cheap as fuck.

Yeah, that's right. This game is both cheap AND pretentious. It's the worst of both worlds. It uses low effort bullshit to make it seem like it's art, and it's disgusting. Here, read these two characters hanging out. Actually, nevermind: LOOK AT ME THROW WHITE TEXT ON SCREEN! STOP PLAYING THIS GAME, STOP PLAYING THIS GAME!. Anyway get back to your normal scene now. Actually, nevermind AGAIN: let me SCRIBBLE THE CHARACTERS EYES HAHA YEAAA YOU LIKE THAT? OOOOO CREEPY anyway haha just joking man carry on. Wink wink.

Then you click to go to another location and oops: screen flashing and now here's the fun text: GOD IS DEAD JUST BE HAPPY! Look at this character contort randomly and say shit in Japanese (that when translated means jack fucking shit and is irrelevant by the way) now while I give you fifteen lines about religion or some bullshit. Now let me make this character say some quirky shit in english HeeHee! >< Just Be Happy!! Haha ok now back to the game with you.

Does it matter? Does it go anywhere? Why are you using caesar cypher or hexcode or another language to have the character say "WHY?" thirteen times? Why do they swap to japanese or spanish in these """""denpa""""" scenes? Here's why: Because it's the cheapest fucking way to create mystery and make the scene feel different and like it matters. But the vast majority of it doesn't, and it never goes anywhere. And four years ago, when the game was still in its infancy, I could excuse that. I could give it a pat on the head and say "well, maybe this just needs time to grow. Maybe it'll become something." I was wrong.

After every weird scene in this game, it's like you can feel the game begging to be more than what it is. God is dead! (This has to be deep, right?) Look at this character model tweak out mid-scene! (This is sooo denpa, right?) Hahaha look at me put a smiley face on this clock! (This is symbolism, right?) Just be happy! (Okay this has to be deep. Have I done it? Am I denpa? Am I cult? Let's just throw some more white flashes and japanese characters on the textbox to be sure...)

What's the absolute best way to pretend the game is something? I know: Let's make it long. And I mean LOOONG. And I mean REALLLLLY FUCKING LONG. Read the developer release logs: this guy thinks measuring story progress and update quality by "thousand of words" is a real thing, and it fucking shows, because holy shit is there a lot to read here. Now, just so I don't shit on EVERYTHING: Some of the dialogue is cool! Some of the story and character settings are actually not bad! Sift through the debris of this massive steaming pile of shit that is Lessons in Love in its entirety, and there's actually something there that makes you want to give it an honest go; I like some of it, sure, but you still find it surrounded by the aforementioned massive steaming pile of shit, so it's really hard to appreciate it. But is this really a merit to the game? I mean, if it has 3 million lines, at least some of it has to be not shit, right? Is it a merit or is it the bare minimum I should expect? I don't even know anymore.

Want another way to pretend the game is something? Here: Every denpa thing mean absolutely jackshit as I said. How can we make these things mean something? Plug them into the game as "puzzles" the player has to solve, so he has to pay attention or screenshot every little dumb shit we throw in the screen so he can put them into a random place at the end of the chapter! I'd love to hate on this, but writing this review, it puts it into context how hilarious this is. I mean, it's a genius take, honestly: how can I make people start caring about this unimportant, irrelevant "denpa" bullshit I put into my game? Oh! Well, if I force them to need the irrelevant denpa bullshit, then now it's no longer irrelevant, even if it's useless for the story, as it's necessary to functionally progress through the game! I, too, am very smart.

I apologize if this review sounds like I'm infuriated. Obviously, that is because I am. I wanted to like this game so bad, but it's just Cheap&Generic: The Game. Cheap ways to scare you or bring ""denpa"". Cheap editing. Cheap scene composition - dark and foreboding ooo here comes the emote swap! Single shot on a character, here comes the model tweaking out! Conversation coming to a lull, here comes the smiley face and bullshit!. And all the cheap things feel like they want to become something more, but the truth is the overwhelming majority never do, and the game just feels pretentious across every single aspect of it. And there is something in this game; there's some nice stories around trauma, some resolutions that I'd like to like, things that I'd like to read this for; to reach the conclusion of the story, to see how some threads unroll and what they become. And it's so hard to read through the rest of it. So, so unbelievably hard.

This game is Excellent, to me. Preface I am a recovering sociopath. Meaning I have been diagnosed and going through several steps not only to repair\regrow the physical damage\trauma of my ptsd but also to stop manipulating and abusing the people in my life. This game has an extremely accurate depiction of how I feel about 80% of the time. It has actually been helpful towards my recovery to see in a safe environment how unhealthy my habits are and how they effect the people around me. As someone who has never in my life experienced empathy watching the mourning of Ami's parents actually made me feel something. So thank you very much for this blessing.
Okay rant done. Love the characters. Very lively, the way they feel alive and aware of not only the other characters around them, the choices they and the mc make and the humor they all seem to have makes this game an absolute blast in my opinion.
Happy events are... complicated for me. Between watching every single one of them and either rolling my eyes or feeling empathetical depression for the first time. I know the feelings of hopelessness well so I can and do relate to the author and believe these concepts to be portrait spot on.
I wish there was something more that can be done as the MC for the people in his life. But that too is the realism that works so well with these themes. Most of the time in real life you wish you could do something different or care. But just can't and that sucks for those it hurts. Yet all we can do is try to heal and do better in the future. Whether you are forgiven or not. It's clear to me that as you progress the MC is getting better even if it isn't obvious to others on the outside. Still on chapter 1 and looking forward to where this goes after 30 hours in game. I am a very slow reader.

I mean, I’ll talk about the story since the sex scenes are pretty ass in the game and the story is like a hundred hours long.

The game really wants you to take the story seriously, but reading between the lines, you realize that the entire game is some weird-ass pedo apologist fantasy where some dude gets zero actual repercussions for being a pedo rapist because god himself is making the MC be a pedo or some shit, who knows.

And you know, it is what it is – it’s all fiction so it’s not like I have a problem with the concept. But it’s done in such a cringe and miserable fashion, and it’s all encapsulated in the worst main character I’ve ever had the misfortune to experience.

The age of the Mr. MC here is 33. That’s like the age of my fucking balding manager at work. But holy hell, he’s more whiney and dramatic than a 14-year-old girl. My guy bitches and moans 24/7 about how sad he is and how he can’t stop himself from raping little girls, it’s like bro what are you even on about? The game really wants you to think he’s suffering or some shit and that you should feel sorry for him, but next scene, he goes and rapes someone so idk. Also, you would think someone would eventually go to the police if the story wanted to get taken seriously but no, everyone is totally fine with him being a pedo. No idea if this is the authors self-insert but yeah, just a really bad experience with this guy.

Rest of the cast is a bit better. However, none of them really feel human, since the dialogue is just really bad in the game. Whole thing sounds like the author is talking to himself with like 15 different imagined personalities who all have the same exact voice. Again, just kinda cringe and gets old after hours.

Overall this game is way too overhyped and people who genuinely think the story is good should probably get some help.

Just freakking awesome dude i mean best thing since the discover of fire fo sure. Jokes besides, an insight into the depths of human nature, appealing to both sides of the soul, Eros and Thanatos. I don't think I've ever enjoyed such a profound work; I only stopped playing so that the work wouldn't end.

This is fucking ass. I guess if you don't go everywhere and talk to everyone or maybe in some order... I dunno... I just at a point just kept going to next day next day nextdaynextdaynextday over... and fucking... over... nothing... SO MUCH CLICKING. Was just holding skip and going at random and heck just kept picking call Ami until I got her to over 120 and... nothing. Wanted to see if that first not real scene could become one and... I guess not? Wanted to see how long it would take to get a scene. Whatever the answer it is too fucking long and way to much clicking

Yeah, just one the smartest, funniest, most horrifying VNs out there.
LiL is not a porn game, the A in AVN stays here for all the bad things the whole Harem-Incest-maybe-a-bit-young content normally dont shows you. And a lot more.
Unplayable without the hint mod tho, Im sorry Selebus.

This game is something else. It definitely isn't for everyone, particularly if you're here for a quick and dirty harem sex game. While that is what's in the game, you'll have more fun playing something else if that's what you're after.

As for rest of what's in this game, I could probably spend a day writing out an essay about the 20 hours I've played the game for. Instead I'll just mention one thing that sets this game apart from anything else I've played.

The lessons in love this game teaches are for the MC. Sensei is a broken person, his values and actions are twisted, and he doesn't lie about it to himself or his LIs. Yet seeing how things that happen in the game pierce through his mangled self and inspire genuinely compassionate reactions in him is beautiful. It's not something I've appreciated in many other games and it's something that puts this game head and shoulders above so much on this site.

Of course, that's not the only thing this game has going for it. It's also the best horror VN I've ever played, but I'm not spending a day writing this review.

5/5 game. Enjoyable experience 20 hours in and counting. Very few flaws if any.

The scenes are very good. But more importantly, as you learn more about the characters backstories and the plot, it becomes surprisingly easy to get invested into. It is long for sure, but if you see it as more of a marathon type game rather than a quick fap one, your expectations will be set.

Far too often these ‘games’ forego a compelling narrative and good writing in favor of cheap, gratuitous renders. This game, on the other hand, is not that. There is no eye-popping sex animation behind every door. It is just a clear example of how a great story and compelling characters can carry everything else.

It’s not perfect and you gotta love a slow burn. You have to be patient with this one. The game sometimes annoyingly tiptoes around sensitive subjects, then throws others in your face. It tries really hard to be edgy(then somehow succeeds). You’ll come for the porn but then stay to find out what happens next.

Are there things I would change? Sure. But in a world oversaturated with half-hearted efforts that inevitably get abandoned, this game nonetheless has my appreciation and respect.

One of, if not the greatest story I've ever read. I've yet to see anyone do character writing like Selebus does.

If you're just now starting the game, I should point out, that the writing effectively improves linearly over the course of the game. It starts out good but with some flaws and then keeps improving and improving, even when you think it literally can't get any better.

Given this trait, I can understand the reluctance to start, but if you enjoy the themes (denpa, school setting harem), absolutely give it a go. The early game is sprinkled with some great events that give you a glimpse of what the standard will be in future. Selebus really starts coming into his own around mid Chapter 2 and from then on it's just peak all the way.

I see a lot of people disliking the grind and progression system. I agree that its bad, but realistically I barely notice it. I just open the flowchart and spend maybe 30s pressing some buttons to get the next event. The game could probably have done without it, but during the start the Dev had a slightly different vision for the game and this is what we've got now.

The porn. I think the actual animations are meh. I'm here for the writing and I prefer the dialogue in those types of scenes to the visuals anyway. Because the game initially had to make money, Chapter 1 has more unnecessary sex scenes. This gives the impression that this is a porn game. It is not. It is a game, that has some porn. If you're expecting something else, you will be disappointed. If you like the story though and find the characters hot, you're getting a little reward.

The puzzles. Do em if you like puzzles. I usually give them a go for 2h and if I haven't made any decent progress or I'm completely stuck, I just look up the answers. It's not the end of the world.

I've read this VN with its 3 million words around three times now. For me, its length is a bonus, because I get more content for the characters I love. Chapter 3 and 4 are utterly incredible. I laugh, I cry, I pace around my room. It makes me feel things like nothing else. Read it.

I don't believe there's anything I could tell you about this game that you couldn't hear elsewhere, so I'll just get the obvious out of the way.

It's a masterpiece.

TLDR; Play it. It's for a very specific kind of person but if you are that person it'll hit you like crack. The best melodramatic denpa soap opera this site has to offer. Also my favorite game.

I'm far from claiming I've roamed this desperate wasteland of a site enough to know whether it's the best game on here but if it was true I would be completely unsurprised.

In order to show you how much I love this game I will now go on to list the many many many things I hate about it, with the fact that it might be my favorite game of all time porn or not sitting in the back of your mind.

The Sandbox

It's shit. It's fine for the first chapter of the game (sort of) but it's become glaringly obvious that Selebus (the creator) had absolutely no intent of making it work past this stage. Past chapter 1 the options you have in the game closes down to basically 1 or 2 at a time with 0 indication of who or where you should talk to next. It necessitates a guide essentially. Thankfully the resources are good, but even still it's just terrible design that ages poorer the further the game heads into the future. It's fine if you're playing update by update and know who's getting new events, but if you're catching up you're completely shit out of luck. Speaking of things that necessitate a guide....

The Puzzles

If you aren't aware, Selebus is a smidgeon of an asshole. Not to a disgusting degree or anything, frankly I find his hatred towards people who use this site pretty justified all things considered. The issue comes when he takes these feelings into the game. The game will occasionally hit you with a puzzle that functions as half absurd memory quiz and half trial and error. Visually and aesthetically they're interesting additions, and early on I'd say they're very doable. Even if referring to random ass lines no one would remember is dumb, there is an interesting question being asked of how out of your way you intend to go just to play a game that actively does not want you to play it. I am so down with this it's absurd. Even if it's a little pretentious, it actually does serve a function in the story, so it isn't just the author staring at you saying 'pay the puzzle toll asshole'. Nah the REAL issue is that the recent one was complete fucking bullshit and I'm terrified about the direction they're heading in. I think over 60-70% of the questions asked in that one are random 10 digit number combinations that pop up ocassionally and subtly in the games freaky scenes. As you would guess there is no way to simply intuit the answer. You were either paying attention to random numbers on the screen or should die, there is no in between. Just like there is no way to find out where specifically these numbers are, because there ARE NO HINTS in ANY of these puzzles. Most of them are very doable, but combining this with Selebus' very obvious hatred of anyone who cheats at these completely unreasonable puzzles makes it such a downer. He can do them right, but he certainly doesn't always.

The Fucking Length

As far as I'm aware this is one of if not the longest visual novels of all time. It is likely about 50 to 60% done. My god. Little spoilers here but the main character is a piece of shit (lovable in a way, but very very easy to despise). You can imagine how glacial this motherfucker's character development must be considering where we currently are in the game. I get that it isn't supposed to be quick or easy, but at some point the MANY MANY major events that happen during the game would HAVE to incite some genuine change in the main character that isn't "I'll still prey on the kids but I also love them now!" It wasn't even an issue for me 100 hours in. Not even 130. But the further we go along the more I think about how bad he truly still is despite how much time and development he's gone through. It gets to a point where I honestly struggle to see him as a person anymore, something that was never an issue previously. And considering the content of the game, it leaves the other characters in a really weird spot to all have to grow simultaneously and change while he essentially never does. It's causing some weird problems now, though I might change my opinion on this by the end (in 5 years btw).

The Content

No one will probably agree with me on this, but I'll put it here cause it bugs me more than any of the above combined. Lessons in Love is very explicitly a game about the dangers of child predators, grooming, and exploitative relationships. It critizes both harems and the classic teacher student relationship dynamic we see often in media porn-centric or otherwise. It's about so much more than that as well, but you'd be hard pressed to not call it a main focus. Hell Selebus even started raising funds for charity's about the damn subject, it ain't subtle that it's something he cares about. Which is why it gives me such an insane headache that the game is still exploitative of the girls in the game without any perceivable reason. I'm not a prude saying that they should never be seen naked or anything, that would be stupid. There's just this air about the game that Selebus doesn't really care about sexualizing the characters or even the children in the game if he needs to appeal to his fanbase. And that shit sucks. For some context, he does these requests if you give him enough money where you he makes a frame of your request. It is extremely common for people to give him money so they can see the child characters sexing any of the 30 or so characters in this game. That shit just happens. People make lists as they slowly whittle down the list of characters that haven't been 'dommed' by the little 10 year old. People talk about how if they were in the MC's position they'd do better by only having sex with one of the underage teens. I think you can shrug off any one of these just fine but combined you have to face the facts that the game promotes this type of behavior actively via it's portrayal of these relationships. It's like of that Cuties movie about how gross pageants are had benefits where you got to watch the kids dance personally for you as a sweet bonus. Obviously the difference is that none of the characters in Lessons in Love are real right, but in some ways it just makes the messaging which is such a core aspect of both the main character and the game as a whole feel hollow. I wish I didn't feel this way, but it's impossible to ignore the gnawing sensation of hypocrisy which floods you while playing the game.

I think the actual best comparison I could make is to 'The Coffin of Andey and Leyley'. It's obviously about how fucked the realtionship between the two main characters is and their codependence, but with how the dev is and how the dialogue is you can just feel that the dev is kinda into it. Perhaps it's just an inevitability when delving into topics of the taboo like this so intimately. You can't come out the other side without an understanding of what makes those taboos enticing to begin with. I guess I just wish it wasn't blatantly trying to entice you sometimes, y'know.

The End

This is my favorite game of all time, and I'm not sure it's very close. In spite of the literal moral crisis I find myself in when I play that I outlined very heavily above, it really is just that good. Despite everything existing in this state of unreality where everything feels artificial, like you're in a manufactured situation, the characters feel are so real. The writing is immaculate, the prose is beautiful, and each and every character is WILDLY different while also sharing similar thematic tissue. Every single point I complained about above I can also make counterpoints to. The sandbox makes the happy scenes such awesome, innovative experiences, and helps further satirize other harem games. Not to mention that he rewrites almost ALL the events in the MASSIVE sandbox every chapter for EVERY character. And these aren't limpdick one sentence descriptions no no no no no no. These are full on prose and foreshadowing and interesting reflections on the current situation. And the length? That's only an issue because of how character development is paced. If I could have it my way this game would go on forever like the Simpsons or some shit. I would do some vile shit to be able to play the entirety of this game right now, it has me in a chokehold. It's banter is just incredible, and the swings it takes with characters are so interesting and unexpected all the time. No one is better at melodrama on this earth I am 100% serious. And the pace this game is made at?! INSANE. Truly it boggles the mind how the fuck this solo dev pumps this much content while also doing requests like what the fuck are we even talking about her man. The amount of Patreon milking intentional or otherwise is absurd on this site as anyone knows, and this game stands as a bastion of a guy killing himself every month just to get this update out because making this game is exactly what he wants to do. It's beautiful. Like literally even visually it's the best looking Koikatsu game in expressiveness, innovativeness, and just general shot composition. This game made me fall in love with a soundtrack composed almost entirely of royalty free songs. I get nostalgic when I play other porn games because I hear Lessons in Love songs in them.

Everything I'm saying sounds insane but it's a game that you just have to play to understand. You'll either bounce off of it immediately or love it, so just do it already god damn it.

Fuck I love this game.

I'm playing again after how many years now, jumping from version 0.20+ to the latest 0.49.

This game is incredibly wordy and plot heavy, which means that even skipping a little bit of text can potentially make you lost if you are unlucky

Most characters are really fun and fleshed out, with witty banters & sudden puns throughout the story.
Special mention to Maya's deadpan jokes & Sensei's reaction to them, they're really made for each other

Now waiting for the next update

THE BEST indie VN.
Love characters interactions. Love crazy amount of CG. Love the lore. Love how characters are well written. Love the dialogs. Love the main character. Love the fact that game is 300h+ long (insane). Love the drama and romantic moments. Love "Happy scenes". Love games riddles. Love Maya. Love hardworking dev. Love this game. 50 72 61 69 73 65 20 62 65 21

Pretty nice until you get to the first happy event. What a letdown. You can get a message across without all the disgusting imagery. Egregious. I was super excited because of the amount of work and how big this game is.

After countless hours, I've finally finished reading from Ch1 to 4 as of 0.48 update. It's honestly hard to rate this game because I both love and hate it. For anyone looking to diving into this, note that each "Chapter" is more equivalent of a book or a 24-episode season of anime. Each chapter has 2 puzzle sections that occur at mid and end. Think of them as intermissions. Every Chapter also has a bunch of those grotesque images that suddenly appear to confuse you. Don't think too hard about them or you will want to quit halfway, due to headaches from overthinking. And if you are here simply for quickfap, this game isn't for you.

Require External Tools
I don't like to use mods to play renpy games, but for this game you really need AutoVN Mod and puzzle guide to play it flawlessly. Without those external tools, you will get stuck at some points, like not sure where to go, missing events, or simply unable to progress the puzzles. The mod can be turned off and on anytime, so if you feel like taking a break from the story, turn it off and do normal sandbox mode. Plus, it hides spoilers such as upcoming characters or new hairstyles.

Story
In Chapter 1 and 2, they mostly introduce new characters and give you clues about their backgrounds. The chapters are overall good but with too many fillers in between important events. I'm sure there are people enjoying those cute or funny moments of "filler" events, but for me, it drags on the main story unncessarily long. Most of time I just keep clicking and just glancing the dialogues until I see what seem important.

As for Chapter 3 and 4, the pacing is much better. There are still a number of fillers, but the story feels like it's finally moving forward, as the plots thicken. Characters can surprise you with their development. At one event, it gives me a heart-wrenching moment that I want to pause and think. At another, I can't help but giggle at the character interactions. I feel eager to see what happens next, instead of just mindlessly clicking through dialogues.

Visual & Music
The characters styles are fairly generic. However, they will change into many different outfits and hairstyles as the story progresses. There are sex scenes, but they are not the main focus of the game; their quality is mediocre. The settings are repetitive as you will revisit the same locations many many times. Music is decent most of time with each character and important events having their own theme songs.

Although I rate this game 4 out of 5 stars, note that if the AutoVN Mod or puzzle guide are no longer updated, I'd consider this game a 2 out of 5 for being too grindy, confusing, and troublesome to play.

Best VN i ever played on my life, this made me cry, laugh and get angry. Peak writing, Changed my views on a lot of shit i was going thru on real life, so thank you Selebus for giving us this masterpiece of a game

After finishing one chapter(20ish hours) I can now give a decent review. This game is fine, it's like a poorly made creepypasta mixed with a good dating sim with little to no porn. The main story is fine, but the individual stories of the girls are what's actually interesting and make you grow attached, with some being funny, some serious and some dramatic to help make the narrative not become stale.
There is a metric fuckload of grinding of repeatable events to get you to required affection levels to hang out with a girl. These events are almost always not pornogrpahic in nature(which I think is good), but feel like they could have happened without reaching an arbitrary relationship or lust point. The girls are variations of generic tropes but with a piece of trauma that they withhold forever until it gets out(oh no).
The true difference to other games are mainly the MC and the setting. The MC is a piece of shit, but mainly by his own self view, he is actually not that bad once you reflect on his actions and understand his intentions but him constantly moaning about how much of a pos he is gets annoying quickly. He(almost the rin thing is still strange) never forces the girls to do anything they aren't asking for; which while still would be inherently bad as a 30ish teacher he's not a 30ish teacher he's a random spirit(or god most likely based on context clues) that has no memories other than when convenient(he can recite poetry just fine lmao). He just is a jumbled mess that makes the game very annoying and pretentious along with the next part.
The other difference is that the setting is creepy pasta-vile, with jungi-ito type events happening in smile events. I did all of them and got bored more than scared, think body horror but where no one has any emotion or cares in the world. But these extend into normal events whenever something “not happy” happens, things break the world or whatever else. These subject of the events are usually focused on arbitrary(albratross or bugs of clocks) or other things that probably don't matter but they really try to convince you they do. These things are the main essence of the plot and its dramatic tension, i.e. when things go wrong the world could break. Like a girl traumatised by loud noises can break for a second due to lightning, etc. The issue is that it is established many many times that everything is designed to be “happy” and that it's the purpose, which means the meta commentary is that happiness is not the destined purpose of the world and the game and in that case wtf is the point of playing it? I’m not gonna be playing a porn game for the drama i'll tell ya lmao.
Finally the pornographic content is subpar at best, at the end of ch1 there is little worth cumming over, most of the girls are lolis which i'm ambivalent over but god there isn't much sex appeal to work with making the adult moms scenes much better.Overall though even if you like a girl you at most get 2-3 sex animations(and about 4 sentences of dialogue) and that's it for 20 hours.
Overall I think this game would do better as a regular ln, as a porn game it's quite bad. The stories with the girls are by far the best part, but I don't see myself continuing due to the arbitrary grind and the setting of the game pushing the games narrative into treating the girls into tools to use against either the mc/player whatever for arbitrary shock value or pretentious monologues about self or happiness(which gave insane chunni vibes btw).

What else can i say about this game that hasn't been said? idk but here we go:
It's incredibly well written, even if sometimes it can be a bit pretentious and/or too nonsensical, almost as if you are in a very long fever dream. i wouldn't say this is everyone's cup of tea, especially if all that you're looking for is something to jerk off to. you'd be better of playing this as a normal VN with adult themes and i assure you there would be no regret. The time traveling theme is great, and the characters are even better developed, Especially Maya, Niki and Yumi.
One of the only downsides i'd say this game has is the amount of "puzzles" you find in it. i almost went insane going around in older saves to figure out the answers through my first time playing. DO NOT DO IT!!!, just look them up online and have fun (or not) in this incredible VN.
Also use the auto VN mod or the Hint mod to help progression.

PRAISE BE!

** EDIT: It's Day 54, and I'm not laughing anymore. Not a damn thing has happened. This game is a completely worthless piece of shit. Don't waste your time. **


With the hilarious way MC woke up the first morning (Day 2), I thought this was going to be a six star game. Maybe seven. It's not.

The Good:

I laugh out loud sometimes. It's certainly not a non-stop riot, but it is one of the funnier games I've played. If not for that this would be a one star game.

The renders are actually quite good as well, provided you're into Koikatsu.

The Bad:

I feel like I've been playing forever (Day 47), and there hasn't been anything close to a sex scene or nude scene. You have one breakthrough kiss with a girl, then revert to a no-kissing relationship for no reason. I don't recall any animations, either, though I'm told they are poor when they eventually show up. I'm perfectly fine with slow burn stories, but this is not a slow burn story.

On day one, there are two cute teen girls who are completely obsessed with you: getting you in bed, marrying you, etc. It's literally the only thing in life they care about. You? Well, you are completely obsessed with fucking all cute teen girls. It's literally the only thing you care about. You interact with these girls nearly every day, and you know what happens? Absolutely fucking nothing. You are literally the most incompetent human being in the history of the universe. Somehow you manage to fuck this up, but there are no wacky hijinks preventing you from getting laid. You simply do nothing. You keep lusting after these girls who keep begging you to fuck them, and you do absolutely nothing whatsoever.

There are another six cute teen girls that take a couple days to warm up to you before deciding they want to fuck you like you want to fuck them. What happens with them? Absolutely fucking nothing.

I hope you like tsunderes, because this game has two at outset and probably more on the way. They completely hate your guts and you have no idea why. One of them is tolerable. One is a genuine drag every time she appears.

This game also has very long and tiresome scenes with unexplained weird shit. I'm down with weird shit, but you've got to connect it to the story somehow. Mystery is fine, but mystery requires leaving clues. It's just extended tiresome unexplained weird shit with no clues.

I should probably note I am using the VN mod, which cuts down greatly on wasted time and energy. Without it, this would be a two star game at best.
