I usually like to write more detailed reviews, but I just felt uninspired by this game.
If I had to use a couple of words to describe this game, they would be dull and repetitive. While I believe the day by day approach can work, and a lot of authors have done so successfully, Light of my Life fails to add anything close to resembling fun repeatable content, so the passing of repetitive days with new dialogue/scenes sprinkled in every now and then is nothing more than a slog.
And I'm just going to come out and say it; the pacing is garbage. There's a slow burn, and then there's whatever this falls into. I've only had to use it so heavily with a couple of other games, but all I can say is thank god for my auto clicker.
The dialogue is good; it's clear the author has talent, and the story is fine, but it just doesn't pull at me. I'm also not a fan of the attempts at comedy here; not sure what the author was going for, but in my opinion, it just doesn't really mesh well with the more serious story they're trying to tell.
The music and visuals are solid; no complaints there.
As for animations, to borrow a phrase from another reviewer, 'every scene is swimming around on the screen.' I can appreciate the effort; I love when games can add in subtle things like blinks or little eye movements, little sways; things to make the characters feel more alive, but there can be too much of that too, and this author just makes those little details obnoxious.
And to borrow one more thing from that reviewer, 'and frankly, this loses an entire star because of it's the use of the MC's inability to control his erection as a plot driver.'
Yes, Yes, Yes, YES, YES.
Stop with this trope, for God's sake! As an adult male, I can control my erections perfectly well, thank you. I'm not in elementary school anymore.
As for the character models, which I've noticed has been a stark point of contention about this game thus far, I'll be honest and say I didn't find them very appealing. It's clear that the author tried to do something unique by bringing more extreme versions of certain features which is fine, I'm all for breaking the mold, but I feel like they might have taken it a bit too far and it comes off as unappealing, to me, at least. If you like them, then all the power to you.
Anyways, I could have said a lot more, but as I said at the start, I just can't really be bothered. I covered the main points; good enough. As always, I hope this helps someone.
