VN - Ren'Py - Light of My Life [Ch. 8 v0.8.1] [Naughty Road]

Surprinsingly interesting story, and well-written characters. I appreciate that incest is not mandatory, would have probably prevented me from playing the game.
Grade should be 4 stars, but certain models are really a turn off for me.

Outstanding. Naughty consistently updates his progress and it is documented. He delivers. Quality updates, and quality artwork. Plus the story is beautiful. Can't wait to see where Denise's story goes. What happened at college, why is she a wreck. So many questions.

Okay, so The models are a bit weird. But they have a certain style, I guess. While the models here aren't exactly my type, the scenarios and the animations in which the models are used are mostly very good. Which kinda makes up for that. The story and pacing are both superb. So good that they make up for anything else I didn't like. Very nice work dev. Good luck!

I had trouble getting into this when I first downloaded it, I was not sure why, and I'm really still not. A couple months later, I decided to try it again and I am absolutely in love with this game.

I see people talking about the models used and I just don't get it, they are unique and beautiful. Their personalities are great(once Macy stops hating on herself) and the story is told very well. I can't wait for the next update.

I also love that the dev keeps us updated regularly, They post these charts that show progress and keep a pretty open discussion, no months with no contact.

One of the best games in history and art, mainly because of the
diversified models and the sad backstory, which helps a lot to connect with the characters. Love every minute playing! Don't be afraid to play the game because of beauty standards.

Wow, thats pretty awesome!!! I'm not into family and insest stuff, but this little bitches are something! I began understand Kraster with his daugter farm Interestig story, especially the family part. Lovely characters, not typical appearence(!!), interesting personalities. 10 of 10! EXTREMELY looking forvard for the next chapter!

[Ch. 6 v0.6.4]

My man NRP you're a scholar amongst men. LOML is by far the most eloquently written VN I have ever played. The sex animations could be more fluid but the story, character progression, and writing make up for it. I love the imperfections of characters physically and emotionally. We all process trauma differently and this showcases the varying degrees. Christ man you got me feeling feels for 2D girls well done.

Excellent Game. Just Excellent. Really compelling story line and characterization.
Dev has done an excellent job of creating non generic characters who don't look like the belong on the cover of Vogue. At the same time, he created an excellent story thread which forces the player to participate in the game and enjoy it to it's fullest extent.

Great writing that actually makes you care about the characters. The scenes are really well done and it's just an extremely enjoyable experience from beginning to end. This game will coax both tears and sexual fluids from your body. Fucking excellent.

The author does know how to write a decent story and there aren't many visual novels that good (imho). I didn't skip a single line and going further and deeper into the plot was one great experience. There's plenty of work put into dramatic details that make this game much more than a quest for erotic adventures and I hope that future updates will maintain its unique mood and atmosphere. Thumbs up.

Can't wait to continue! Its a great art and story Every person has own charm! Hard to choose the favorit cause each has own way to intimacy. Would be great to see more and have more offten kinky things in family

Hats off to you good sir marvelous job. The characters and story had depth not just the normal stuff. Played through a good few time the updates are 100% worth the wait. Looking forward for to what the future may hold keep up the great work.

The story is set up very clearly to be father-daughter incest. But, naturally, the developer lets you define the character relationships to avoid getting banned from Patreon. Because I'm super not a fan of father-daughter incest, but AM a super fan of brother-sister incest, I made the girls my younger sisters. The game hardly ever refers to MC's "wife" as such, which made it pretty easy to imagine her as MC's mom along with the girls, which I very much appreciated.

The character models, as anyone can see, are quite unique and original (plus points!). But, they're not always the most attractive (minus points). Overall I definitely enjoy looking at the characters more than I thought I would from the preview images. The sex scenes create interesting situations and help you feel invested in the characters and the the scene to enhance the experience.

The best aspect though is the writing. The story starts out quite melancholy. MC and the girls are distraught over the death of the girls' "mother" from 5 years ago. MC comes across as a genuinely sad but caring individual. The eldest girl has some anger issues in the beginning, and a genuinely tear jerking reveal connected to it. The youngest girl stretches believeability with her naivete fr an "18" year old, but her antics eventually become charming. There are just enough side characters as well to flesh out the story and add extra enjoyment as well, both with their personalities, and their own unique stories. At time though the dialogue can feel a bit repetitive and drag on a bit, which prevents me from giving this a full 5 stars.

And finally the best of the best about the writing, I'm not sure any porn game has given me nearly the same quality or quantity of genuine laughter. I would be remiss if I did not give this game a high rating for that reason alone. Comedy may be highly subjective, but if you're looking for a laugh, give this game a go, and make the girls' relationship to you anything you want.

Really I'm giving this a 4.5 stars, because the only "issue" I have with this game is that it is a bit TOO slow of a burn and I love a slower burn rather than the all-too-common eager harem harlots that dominate too many VNs.

That being said this definitely one of the BEST VN I've ever played (perhaps behind only "A Petal Among Thorns" which is my all time favorite. The characters are incredibly well written and feel real, witch causes the player to become emotionally invested in the characters.

The story is heartfelt, sad, uplifting and numerous. Most of all it is believable. The MC isn't an immediate pervert and neither are (most) of the other characters.

There are clever post chapter synopsis and donation requests which was perfect as it made me donate more to the developer, not only for putting so much time and effort into a beautiful game, but your humor really grasped me. This is game had me genuinely LOL multiple times.

Keep up the hard work for you are an amazing artist and developer and your hard work is greatly appreciated.

it's a great game not just if you're horny though for that purpose it's still really good the writing is good too

and it also feels like your decisions actually make a difference so it feels alot more rewarding to play

This is one of those games I heard good things about and looked at a lot of times, but ultimately skipped because of the character models. We all have different tastes, but these models are not really for me, even if my preferences for AVNs are story over sex scenes.

However, a few days ago I caved and downloaded Light of my Life to check out the game purely on a story level, and hoping the models would grow on me. Unfortunately I had trouble finishing the game. There are a lot of good things here though.
The dynamic between Macy, Denise and the MC is quite good. The premise is interesting and I saw potential for a lot of conflicts, drama and intrigue. Macy is the bratty, angry and combative elder ward with a soft interior, while Denise is sweet and caring, but dealing with anxiety issues. Both well written characters in my book.

It started well, but as I played, the game got more and more repetitive. Not just the same renders, but you keep repeating the same mundane tasks every single day with slightly different dialogue.
Wake up, massage, coffee, go to work, get home, eat dinner, sit on the couch, go to bed. When the game breaks away from this repetitive cycle is when it gets much better. The museum scene being a prime example. Unfortunately these are few and far between, especially in the early game.
Without spoiling anything more of the story, I found myself getting bored.

The models didn't grow on me. I actually at times found them repulsive and borderline creepy. Not something I want from a sex game. Some of the facial expressions are really over the top and feel jarring. Other times the facial expressions can be excellent. Very mixed bag for me, tilting heavily towards the negative.

Overall it's not a bad game. Far from it. It just didn't keep my interest as much as I hoped it would.

This review is for Light of My Life v0.6.3
=== Writing ===
+ good dialogue
+ likeable characters
+ fleshed out characters
+/- the wincest content certainly isn't rushed, which is great, but it takes a little too long for anything with the daughters to happen and it isn't as justified in the writing as it could be; what I mean is that when playing the game and reading all the dialogue and thoughts of characters, it's hard to figure out why exactly NOW is the moment when things happen and not yesterday, or the day before; if you like being blueballed and titillated for very long stretches of time, you'll love it, though
+/- somewhat believable setting & premise
- it goes in strange directions for a trio of characters (the 'crones') that I feel is not appropriate for the genre of the game (office ladies and greek god ritual worship? uh?); also, it happens after a character has promised certain sexual favors, so she has to awkwardly confront those promises and postpone them to later; simply feels weird in a bad way tbh
=== Graphics ===
+ beautiful model renders
+ unique looking models, even if a bit on the strange looking side
+ beautiful environments
+ great atmosphere
+ good animations
=== Audio ===
+/- no comment (I played without audio, sorry)
=== Gameplay ===
+ no mini-games, stats, or other things that weigh down fap games imo, entirely story & choice
+/- there's only 6 girls to pursue in total so far, however there's more character development for them as well than in many other games and I'm sure more is planned; it's only 1 dev afaik, and I think it's clear this game is going for depth rather than width, which is fine by me
+/- huge amount of decisions and choices throughout the game, though it's difficult to tell what difference many of them actually have at this stage, maybe there's plans in the future to utilize them; still, a lot of them add flavor and let you express yourself to the characters, which is good
- lack of any darker decisions/routes, except maybe one character that's kinkier, but it seems like you get punished a little for pursuing it and it's only happened once so far; the stat system makes it seem like you might have a darker route available to you where you capitalize on one daughter's fear and another's anger, but it's not really a route in that sense, you just lose out on bonding with your daughters; HOWEVER, it is apparently impossible to miss out on sex scenes with the daughters unless you purposely want to, so there's that at least which is good; since this is mostly a genre criticism and isn't related to the game's quality, it won't affect my score of it, but for those who want it, it's not here
=== Playability ===
+ bug free during my playthroughs

(Currently version 0.6.4)
This is my first and probably one of my only reviews, but I have to say I'm really enjoying it so far. I really enjoy the character's personalities and design. The character design honestly is unique from other games, and I truly appreciate the change of pace.

I can't wait for more, I do hope this sees success!

So I finally got around to playing this game, like a lot of people (I assume) I was put off by the models but after seeing how well it was rated thought I have to at least give it a try, I was so glad I did.
The models got some getting used to and if you are just looking for a VN to skip through to get to the steamy bits this game might not be for you. However if you are looking for an extremely well written VN with fully developed characters you can't go wrong here.
I was honestly surprised to find myself caring for the 2 main girls, I wanted them to be happy, I wanted the MC to make them happy.
There was a section where the youngest was subjected to an event that made her anxiety spike, you spend time through the game doing things and making decisions that would hopefully lower this trait in her and once I saw it spiking again I found myself IRL feeling upset over it, I wanted to get her out, I wanted her to feel safe.
Only bad thing now is waiting for updates, I started on the 0.6.4 update and there was a incredible amount of story here, however now I have finished it I want more, almost wish I didn't play it until the game was finished just to have the full experience.
Keep up the great work.

One of the few VN here that have a story that is interesting and adds to the sexual tension. the models are unique and their personalities feel less tropey than others.

Would recommend for any perverts that enjoy the build-up as much as they enjoy the animated scenes.
