VN - Ren'Py - Light of My Life [Ch. 1-7 v1.0.0] [Naughty Road]

I guess I can only repeat what has already been said. I really enjoyed it for not being like any other game I played. Apart from a decent story and good writing, that stops you from skipping text, I find the models very refreshing, after initial shock, they really grew on me and started to really enjoy looking at it. I became very fond of the characters and can't seem to pick a new game to try because of the generic models. I recommend it.

Slow burner for sure, but extremely satisfying because of characters you get surprisingly attached to. A bit on the nose at some points, but there's a bit of everything for everyone in this.

And the fact that the models are different than what you're used to inVNs is very refreshing (I must confess to a strong latina bias on my part though).

Edit : I also recommend trying many words for body parts. Some of the bonus messages are hilarious.

I have avoided this game for so long, checked it but did not like the look of the girls.
But now I have been playing for a few days and this is a really good VN. One of the few were I really follow the dialog. Slow burn but in this case only good.
I hope the it is a lot more of this story and I hope the watersport takes a bigger part.

Love me relateable games, which make me laugh, cry and nut in one sitting.
5/5 great sunday experience!
The writing is very enjoyable and the characters likeable. The story has just the right amount of goofiness to soften your dick so you can keep masturbating for a couple of hours straight.
The parts between the chapters and how the "tutorial" works shows the dedication of this non-virgin developer.

Edit: Fuck me, now that I'm about to finish the 7th chapter my dick hasn't been out in a while, because I'm crying my balls out every couple minutes. This is a massive W for the Eroge scene.

Reviewing this game has been a bit tricky, as it didn't quite match my initial expectations. The storyline itself is charming, and I particularly enjoyed the writing style. The characters are rememberable and nicely showcased by the developer. However, there was a slight issue of excess. It felt like preparing a delicious dinner, only to overcook it.

I found some parts of the story that needed to be read to progress to the next level of actions to be somewhat like fillers. While I wouldn't have minded it if they were more interesting, they seemed to follow a repetitive pattern, making it feel like a bit of a chore. In a good book, even the slower parts keep you engaged, but this game didn't quite hit the mark in that regard.

Overall, the story is interesting, but I'd rate the game as fairly average for now. There's potential, but the game seems to be struggling with an excess of less engaging content, preventing it from reaching its full potential.

Update 2 Stars:

I kept on reading, hoping things would get better, but by the time I hit chapter 6, I had to give up. It felt like the game was just going around in circles, repeating the same stuff over and over again.

All my senses told me to skip some of the text at one point but I forced myself to read. The scenes were not good in this game either, thanks to the developer's puzzling choice of adding a blur effect to still images in an attempt to create depth of field. It ended up giving me a slight headache. Adding to the disappointment, there isn't much sexy content in this game and most were quite bad, with weird distances and poses.

But the real problem, at least for me, was how much the game repeated itself. Yeah, the story and characters had their moments, but they were overshadowed by this never-ending cycle of monotony.

There's a lot to like, especially in the early stages with the ultra slow burn. As the story progresses though, the dialog becomes less surprising and more repetitive. I started to become annoyed at the two "wards" for their lack of depth outside of the MC's life. Ultimately, I was glad I had reached the end and could move on from it.

A really beautiful game. The humor is great, there are some genuinely touching moments. The game does very well at characterizing the protagonist. I actually teared up a little for him at certain parts.

The art style is wonderful. Both of the girls are beautiful and it's nice to see some love for Latinas and women who don't look like porn stars. Thank you for sharing your work.

The most incredible writing. Great characters, great renders and an emotional, heart-wrenching story. So well done.
This is definitely NOT a regular 'porn'-game. It's something different. Something bigger and better.
This game achieves something interesting: Introducing characters that aren't conventionally beautiful, nor sexy, but after getting to know them more and more, you fall for them, and gradually they become increasingly beautiful and sexy in the eyes of the beholder. In other words, this game succeeds in simulating what love and sexual attraction can be like in real life.

Other than a few grammatical errors here and there, overall it's a great game. The story line is beautiful, albeit heartbreaking at times. I love the models, and soo happy that y'all didn't spring for the typical BBB (big boobed bimbos) models. The characters really grow on you, from the adorable Denise to the quirky S3 girls. Y'all did a great job with this one, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a good story drive VN. Hope to see more titles like this in the future.

This is hands down the best game on this genre.
The character development, the animations, dialogs, scenary all of this is on point.
I just hope for the developer to get more resources so this master piece can be updated more often.

Well since i've downloaded this twice for updates and enjoyed it both times, I figured i'd leave a review. While the visuals/artstyle might not be for everyone, it does look/work a lot better as you're reading through it and see how much movement and expressions/positions there are over the course of reading. As for the novel side itself, this one is fairly heavy on the story but always holds your interest by throwing in teasing/progression through both text and visuals, and is far more interesting and immersive than other animated VNs. I'm not gonna post about the actual story/spoilers but once you get into it, it strings you along more and more each chapter and eventually delivers. I'm not sure what they're going to add storywise in the future because chapter 7 really wraps up the path it was going down so far, which only ups the anticipation for potential future content. Easily one of the best on this website.

So I've seen a lot of memes dissing this game. It's been most weird pictures of both daughters.
I wondered how it's so popular so I downloaded it and played.
After few minutes the protagonists grow on you, over time they even start being cute. The chats are great, them not being stupid barbies make their emotions being readable. I lost my heart to both over time.
Im in 6th part right now, kinda sad it ends for now with seven.

Overall a great experience and a clear 5/5 for me!

Review for Ch. 7 v0.7.4

I've tried to get into this game multiple times throughout the years, but for some reason I always end up reaching a point where I end a session and have no real desire to boot up the game again.

Light of My Life is a down to the bone incest game, but it would be frankly wrong to just say it's like any other. Despite my mixed opinions, this is one of those AVNs where you can tell the dev is putting a lot of their effort into. The overview gives an apt description. It's an emotional slow burn about overcoming loss and raising two daughters with troubles of their own. I think the game does do a solid job of making the characters feel like family, playing into that taboo element well.

My problems with this are twofold. One, the game is incredibly mundane at points and VERY repetitive. For the most part everything moves day by day, and day by day you are repeating the same actions over and over with increasing predictability. Now while it does work in a way to add to that family realism, it's simply not interesting after a point. I have no problems with getting small events of eating dinner with everyone or relaxing on the couch with your "wards," but doing it twenty times in a row makes it lose its value to me.

The game heavily relies on you being into the characters and dialogue and less on creating unique situations (for the most part, occasionally you do venture outside the house). And to a degree it should be doing that, since it's a visual novel after all. But this is where my second problem comes into play.

The story really isn't about you, but rather about the daughters (which is fine). However, the MC/father is a prop. He feels like a passenger watching everything play out before him but not at all influencing it. Your choices are mostly minor dialogue lines that don't really do much beyond making the MC optionally be an asshole. He's lacking a weighty presence you'd expect an MC to have, and is not that fun to play.

Beyond that anything else is minor. There are side girls in the form of office ladies but this is a rare case where I avoided them all. Appearances aside, they exist only to cater to specific fetishes. Genuinely think the game would be better without them, but that's preference more than anything.

The game isn't what I'd call bad though. I do like the unique-er spin on the incest with the younger daughter being the one trying to pull everyone "together," and I like their character models as well. The lesbian/bi sister stuff is also pretty hot to me and not something I see that often.

TLDR - I wouldn't even call this game average, but it's just not for me at the end of the day. A bit too repetitive for my liking, and towards the end I found myself skipping dialogue.

Stellar animations and not the same old 3D we've come to know and love. Scripting shows the personality of each character and is well crafted. A meaningful plot with the ability to craft your character how you want them to be. 5/5

This is not a porn game. It's a beautiful story with depth and emotion. It makes you emotionally invested in the characters, and then sex with those characters is much more rewarding than it would be in a simple "porn game".

This game has made me cry on multiple occasions. I don't really know what more to say than that.

Alright, so, I was hesitant playing this game. I thought to myself "Why the hell make a porn game, with all the people in it looking like they have progeria?"

Then, I thought to myself "Well what the hell, I've played 98% of the games on here already anyways", and proceeded to downloading the game.


And honestly? I love it! The pacing is very slow, and you are warned at the start of the game: If you want to skip text, you might want to play something else.

As for the models, you actually quickly forget they are... uncanny? Non conforming to modern day expectations of what is beautiful? (I'm not gonna say "ugly", it'll break her heart again...) I personally grew to like it. Because it's, -like some other reviews already said- different.

Anyways, give it a try. The story is cool (it's not groundbreaking either) and, honestly, the screenshots in the OP don't really do the game justice.

Be like me. Don't stop at "Jesus why in the progeria fuck?" and give it a try! (Unless your thing is big tittied bimbos, then yeah, forget it)

This is a tough one to review. I first started reading it a couple years ago when I first started getting into AVNs. I remember enjoying the story and the taboo relationship building while also noting that most of the love interests weren’t particularly attractive to me and the story occasionally got bogged down in scenes that repeated a bit too often. Now that I’m playing the recent update… I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I’ve played so many other games that I feel do what Light of my Life does but better that I, sadly, found myself using the skip button.


The renders are both a blessing and a curse. There’s often a different render for each line of dialogue, and each chapter has thousands of lines of dialogue. However, with the text speed, you end up doing a lot of double clicking to get the dialogue out faster which not only gets tedious but results in you missing a lot of the renders because you’re busy focusing on the dialogue, and in most scenes there’s nothing of interest going on anyway. Having to load a different render for each scene makes the game more sluggish than I’d have preferred.


The story does a reasonable job of trying to make the central taboo relationship building believable, and that requires a great deal of time. Can’t just start the game with, “Oh, I’ve always secretly loved you come here.”. In the early chapters this moved along at a slow but steady pace, but around Chapter 5 it seemed to go from slow and steady to tedious. I’m of the opinion that if you feel compelled to skip dialogue, something has gone terribly wrong, and unfortunately, I reached that point somewhere soon after the end of the camping trip.


Part of this is due to the realization that 99% of my dialogue choices are meaningless. This is basically a kinetic novel, and at some point (my memory is a bit fuzzy after more than a year of not playing) choices devolved into “Say something/Don’t say anything” which made my input feel pointless. Kinetic novels work better in third person. When you have no control over the first-person MC’s actions, it's hard to get invested, especially when the MC doesn’t seem to have much personality in the first place. He misses his wife, loves his children, and when they start getting more intimate, he rolls with it. The character development is left to the daughters as their taboo relationship with their father and each other slowly grows.


Renders. I understand this is pretty controversial in the comments section to the point where there’s warnings about discussing it. I found Macy reasonably attractive and unique. The others, on the other hand I would most charitably say are not really my cup of tea. In some of the latest chapters, I actually reached a foursome scene that, to my surprise, did nothing for me. I don’t need rendered models to look like super models, but the style is just… you know what? Just going to stop there. Just not my preference. I suspect that maybe I’m not the target audience for this AVN, and that’s okay. I suspect the taboo elements were what made the scenes attractive to me early on, but the side-characters don’t seem to have a reason for existing.


I’ve often argued that good renders and good dialogue are superior to animations. I still hold to this; however, dialogue can still get in the way of a good scene. In one pivotal scene with Macy I was in a sense cockblocked by what read like really poor dialogue with Macy saying “dad dad dad dad dad dad” over and over again until the word lost meaning. This scene needs some cleaning up. Real people don’t dump paragraphs on their intimate partners when they’re in the midst of intimate activities. Brevity is the soul of wit, as they say.


Despite all the negative comments, it’s not a bad game. There are good things going on here, but something in the last few chapters has gone wrong. Perhaps part of it just the long update time where it’s hard to keep track of what I originally liked about the game and it’s being overshadowed by the issues I’m having with the new content.


One last pet peeve: Way too many dream sequences. One is fine. Two is often too many. There are a lot more than two, and they’re a slog to go through. Who here cares about dialogue between the MC and his memory of his wife? It sounds interesting, but unless you’re going to add a supernatural component to the story, it gets tedious very quickly having a lengthy dream sequence whenever the MC sleeps.

Credit to Nevermind_1979 for perfectly describing the feeling I've had with this game. Its very well made. A lot of care has gone into it, and it has many unique qualities throughout. The writing is great and feels very authentic, but it actually becomes too authentic.

As a porn game it starts to completely miss the mark for me. It does not have the erotic fantasy feeling that makes for good porn. Sure, a lot of the events that take place are not very realistic, but they do feel far too authentic to how family relationships and personalities actually are to the point where it becomes very bizarre and downright awkward.

Its a very strange feeling to have about a game, but I don't think I'll be looking forward to playing any more of this one.

Fantastic writing and compelling story, to the point some monologues are short and interesting. Also the VN is design to help the player not miss on important content, by using a point system like love, anger or anxiety for some characters.

The 3D models look unique and perfect for the setting. Love the lewd and non-lewd scenes.

A very good game.
Visual art is very original - but this sets it apart from so many honeyselect clones. You quickly get used to it and it no longer distracts you from the game. This is not my main problem with the game - it is the writing.
Imagine you are watching a step-mom step-son porn on a pornhub, and then you start noticing something strange. These actors look surpsiringly alike, as if...as if they were not actors. And then you notice a fucking family photo on the background, and you realize these people are actually related. And then this is no longer sexy, this is just gross, and you remember your own mother and all the family drama, and your boner dies faster than your dad's opinion about you when he found that homework folder. This is the Light of my Life.
The writing is astoundingly good. You believe these characters, you believe their drama, you want to understand them better - and then you remember that you are in a porn game, and this becomes very uncomfortable. The main question I had during my playthrough is "why the fuck would the author add porn in this game?" It is too raw, too realistic - the great writing actually works against the game in my opinion, and this is a very bad thing for a porn game. You don't feel horny, you feel disgusted and uncomfortable. And sure, you can input the roles and relations of the characters - but come on, this is not how a game was intended to be played, and lots of weird inconsistencies come out with this. So in the end - great writing, great characters, original artsyle, but who would want to jerk off on this family drama? 7/10, -3 points for being a post-nut clarity simulator
