VN - Ren'Py - Light of My Life [Ch.8 v0.8.2] [Naughty Road]

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

One of my favorite games on this website!

Excellent writing and a truly touching story.

Original visual style that looks quite fresh and stands out from the crowd.

Incredibly cute and at the same time so different characters of the daughters, who share one common feature - passionate love for their dear father.

The only downside is the long wait for updates, and unfortunately quality work takes a lot of time, so updates aren't quick.

You should definitely give this game a chance and try to play it!

Of the hundred of games I've played on this site, this is the first I actually sat down to read. to see how the slow burn romance would develop, and boy if it does not deliver in the end.

This game is on a category of its own, a true masterpiece of the genre. We're probably not going to see anything with this level of story, art, writing and overall polish for a while.

11/10

No photo model characters straight out of an asset bundle.

Yes! One look at the models and I was hooked. Growing so bored of the same looking models in most other VNs. Great job with this.

Also, the story and personalities are great. One could argue its a bit too long at times. I found myself skipping most of the coworker parts later on.

My biggest takeaway is that the animations are lacking. If they were better I'd give this a 5/5 easily.

Still though. Definitely among my favourites! Looking forward to the coming chapters. Especially the

- you like seeing the same backgrounds that have been used in 2587 other games?
- you like renders that make it look as if every scene has been captured in a studio flooded with lights ?
- you like games where all the females look like they were cloned from each other ?
- howabout models that you've seen in 589 other games?
- you like games with no real story to tell?
- you like games that have no internal consistency nor logic?
- you think a good game is one where you have to do the same action over and over again for an extended loop just to get a new line of dialog and if lucky a new render?

If any of the above is something you answer yes to, stay away from this.

The best games, IMO, are games where the characters have distinct agency.
Lots of games seem to be writing by some depraved incel teen that never experienced a womans touch. This isn't one of them. The females have character, wants, needs, opinions and desires. There is an over arching story and your choices do have an influence on how the story progesses without it turning into a grind fest.

Sure, there is lots of dialog but it's the dialog that sets the stage and creates the build up to the bow-chicky-wa-wa moments.

This is cleary one of the more adult 'adult' games. Not a dev that thinks that gigantic boobs means sexy nor that think that everyone is just gagging for prepubescent girls.

The only bad thing is that it takes a long time between updates but....when an update does drop it was well worth the wait because the amount of content makes it clear that he isn't just re-using the same content with some lines of dialog but actually puts lot of effort in creating new content and progressing the story.

It's a pity that all the effort and work put into this game resulted in such a bore. Endless and pointless ramblings destroy any sexual tension, forced humor shoved everywhere. Playing it feels like a chore. Visuals are amazing and sex scenes are top tier, nevertheless I've never fapped to this, my cock was bored.

In my opinion this is one of the most intelligently written pieces of adult fiction I've read in years. Quality assets, unique models, and well balanced use of humor and 4th wall breaking make this a hard recommend.

Honestly the best written game on the site. Even if the models aren't your cup of tea, I encourage you to give this game a shot. It's a really emotional and erotic story. I think caring about the characters makes the experience better and the number of characters I care about in the dozens of F95zone games I've downloaded, I can count on both hands. Two of them are in this game. Good shit.

[Ch.7 v0.7] Review

(Yep. It is happening. I am writing a serious review on f95 and sharing deep personal feelings. Anyways.)

I don't know about you, reader, but I am here, on this site, to make the pain go away for some time. I keep telling myself that it is better than drugs or drinking. Yes, I am an adult with adult life and adult problems, with tragedies that deeply damaged my life and I need to learn how to keep going.

So I do kill time once-twice a week through pornoholic trips via games and VNs I can find here. What can I say? - about 95% of stories I download are poorly-written, cliche-puzzles or having a plot from 80-s porn and I need to turn my imagination on max to keep clicking and painting the story in my own head. "Maybe I should write my own game..."

But once in a couple of months, maybe half-a-year, I find a GEM. A true talent. A masterpiece. It gets my whole evening or even a weekend day. I just keep reading, I forget about the "Tab" button and the "skip" option. Yes, my day becomes skipped and I do nothing useful - but this story, this ART of storytelling, is why I keep returning to this site. This is what I am looking for. A way to forget myself and my life just for a day and have an emotional rollercoaster mixed with porn... during reading this VN I admit I realised that I had tears in my eyes at some moments.

Yes, I do understand that it is just because of the common path of the loss plot and my own life. I understand that the way women just jump on the protagonist is a harem anime-level. But maybe that is what I needed. A simple, yet wonderfully written, naive and... kind story. With no cruelty, no evil, no horror. Even though that similar story in REAL LIFE would be a true horror.

It is not a super-porny, or fetish collector VN for hardcore porn experience. It is a kind, naive... LIGHT reading with porn in it. And it is not all about porn but about emotional connection, pain of loss (but a kind, light pain), and happiness. Where sex is love and feelings, connection and responsibility. At least in the first 4 chapters, then it becomes much more porn, much less feelings. But the way Ch.7 moved on - that was a great twist I really enjoyed.

Thank you, Author, your story brough a little spark of joy for me. And by the amount of possitive reviews - I am not the only one who really enjoyed your work. Please keep writting. Have a good one.

[5/5]

its ok, waay waay too much txt to go through, maybe 20min of pressing enter before anything slightly erotic , im busy, i want to play an erotic game not a novel, story is well made only the length of non erotic scenes ruin it for me farr to long.
visually great, animations are ok, characters looks wise are different from the regular model type that other games have which I think is good.

There isn't really anything more you could ask for in a VN game. The story is solid and engaging with enough humour to bring a smile and chuckle from you many times but at the same time intense emotional moments of drama that can pull the feels and a few tears out of you. Any adult can empathize with as we have surely dealt with the same drama's in real life. Really well though out and blended writing.
The graphics while a bit jerky during animations are well done and visually pleasing.
The choices you make actually mean something unlike so many other "choice driven" games.
If i have to have a complaint about this game it would be the loooong time between updates but even that is mooted by the fact each update is massive and worth the wait. Simply a masterpiece in VN gaming. Kudos to this amazing dev.

Overall its quite good.

first thing first, the models. i love their bodies, they feel unique and real. faces are not my favorite but alteast they are very unique and far away from the same copy paste faces that are in every other VN.

story is good, really good mostly. i only have one complaint about the story and its the unavoidable and unnessesary conflict involving the coworker and the older sister. i rejected the coworker at every chance but she keeps coming back. LEAVE ME ALONE!

but the good things about the story is the MC is the passive protagonist. the sisters are the ones initiating everything. if the MC tries to initiate it backfires. i like this because almost all the time the MC is being super pushy, manipulative or straight down rapy.

personally i dont like sharing, doesnt matter if its two girls, still dont like it. so when the game being such a slow burn and i choose to only pursue the sisters and no one else. it sucks even more that they are sexually intimate loooong before the MC is.

so TL;DR, 4/5 star deducted for coworker not backing off and MC not being able to prevent the conflict that it would cause. and also for not being able to prevent/disable lesbian content.

I hate this game, not because it is bad but because of how fucking good it is. It is now the high water mark against which I'll be judging all other adult visual novels. Worse, it's given me a taste that I'll be uselessly hunting after for a long, long time. I don't expect to see another game of this calibre for years, if we're lucky.

It's sweet, it's well written, and it burns slow, but when it burns, it fucking burns. It manages drama without characters being idiots. It makes every payoff delicious. And it makes you care about the characters so that every bit of depravity comes across extra debauched. Boy, does it make you care.

Don't go looking for a quick, thoughtless wank. This is something to experience and cherish. It's like a good book that you dread finishing, that you wish could just go on and on. However, even knowing it must end, it's worth it. Just be prepared to invest hours and know that the investment is worth it.

I was like "ha this game can't be so good" and I didn't play it for years. Like, literally, years. Let me type it again so I can use underline for emphasis now: years whoops years. But, I finally got around to being worn down by seeing it pop up in Latest Updates and being heralded as a masterpiece and:

YES IT REALLY IS.
IF YOU ARE HOLDING OFF ON THIS JUST PLAY IT NOW.

Been following him from the first day and the amount of effort author put into this game is undeniably great. He ok his time to create something amazing we could enjoy again and again.
And as we all know Best things took there time to be ready to play so am not even going to complain about how it took him so much time.
In the end we all know The Creator put lot of effort to create a really good adult game.
My 5 start review is enough to appreciate his effort.

Nothing but the best from naughty road. I have been on this since day one and I'm loving it.
This is the best game of all time in this genre, at least in my humble opinion. Someone get this dev a medal because he really deserves it.

really the best game for me. i enjoy the story, the charakters, and the look. the only downside it takes so long for a new version. but i guess quality takes time. i hope this game will never stop. 10/10

Really well written and animated. Lots of everything in the right measure. Really good game overall, deviating from the the typical boring game. Keeps the player looking forward for more the whole time and in between chapters.
Don't know what else to write xD.
