Recommending List of my favorite Honey Select 1&2 games [upd 6.11.25]

[Laxus007]

city devil restart is kinda boring imo, high production value but its just boring. the characters dont have any personality

I get your point, the mc and Lilian(the blonde) have sex in the hotel but later they act as if nothing happened.
Also I don't get why mc would risk sending his sis to the shady bar

Speaking from experience, I get it. But that doesn't excuse why all the LIs so far and the MC not having any interesting character. The story is also very slow, nothing significant had happened so far. I'll give this upcoming update a try though, the game has very high production value, the writing just isnt interesting (at least so far).

Padorublad3 I’m sorry if you’ve already answered this question before. Do you have any plans to make a similar list for Koikatsu games someday?

 

[drago42069]

As for Scions of the Divine, I think it has a strong start and the plot is interesting so far but my main gripe is that... I feel like there's a same-face issue going on here. All the girls kinda look the same?

There is a similar thread but its pretty old.

I haven't played much Koikatsu games but Goddesses' Whim is really good

To be honest, I have never heard of the game and despite my strong dislike for any form of loli stuff, I got curios how the game has looked that it was even able to being here axed. Only the mod pages are still up. The loli stuff must have been really strong - even for zone standards.

Well...
... it looks like that even the SS account of the dev got cancelled.

It's seems that loli stuff is something that even SS can't effort to look in the other direction.

Even thought this is only the 2nd ren'py vn i've seen get the ban, it piques my curiosity too. Considering the things allowed here I genuinely wonder what it takes to get an R7 ban lol.

I'd have have to assume the difference lies in explicitly giving ages out.

But yeah like Paddy said, if you choose to double down on that stuff knowing that then you wont be missed. Play stupid games.

I tried this "Scions of the Divine". It is long and boring. Yes, there is setting, there is girls. Couple lewds too. But, man. There is no story. Just boring dialogs without ounce of substance. No real challenge, no troubles, adventure or humor. Nothing of substance. Looks like fanfic about Harry Potter merged with wikipedia in a weird way, and it is not fun way. Not recommend now. Mb retry after half year or so. Depends on rating and updates by that time.

It's interesting to see it compared to Harry Potter of all things... What made you draw that comparison?

Same it's long but the mc is not that interesting to read through. He is way too boring and not interesting. Also everything kind of falls into his lap.

I can agree with this sentiment for Ch. 1. As for everything falling into his lap, it's a power fantasy. He gets kicked around a bit, but ultimately he'll overcome just about everything.

As for Scions of the Divine, I think it has a strong start and the plot is interesting so far but my main gripe is that... I feel like there's a same-face issue going on here. All the girls kinda look the same?

I'm glad the story was to your taste. I used real life racial groups to model the LIs. Some of them are similar to a degree, but so are people irl. No two LIs have the same features (bone structure, nose, mouth, eye shape, skin textures, etc.), and the bodies are vastly different between them.

But I digress. This will be my last post about my game here, as I really don't want to continue an off-topic discussion that's solely about my game. If anyone wants to discuss it further, come over to my game thread linked in my signature. Feedback is critical at this point since it's so early in development.

I think its more of an art style thing, like how 90% of One Piece female characters look like Nami? I can get that vibe from your game which is why I feel like all the LIs look so similar.

Anyway I don't think its offtopic.

Maybe so. The engine is very limited about what you can do without getting mesh deformations and ugly results. I tried really hard to avoid the same face issue though, so that's why it makes me a little disappointed in myself to hear it being said here.

If this is off-topic I guess a moderator could just remove it.

No need to feel bad about it, even a Triple AAA games like FF developed by SquareEnix also has this problem, see Tifa,Elena and Nayo look pretty much similar only with different hairstyle and color.

While you're kinda right, there are many HS2 games that have LIs which look vastly different from each other.
One such example is my favorite: Realm Invader. But I think issue stemmed from doing a more realistic looks since
DarkSeraphAVN has mentioned basing their character off real racial features instead of going for a more of cartoony/anime-y honey select 2 looks which can vary quite a lot.. If you know what I mean, I really don't know how to put my thoughts into words. That said, I am just one person. Maybe others don't share the same opinion.

I'm not trying to take on you, just some encouragement to the developer, i do share your thought as i was also playing his game and noticed lots of similarities between most of the female characters, but i'm getting used to this since all the devs on this platform are mostly amateur also i prefer his renders than most of the DAZ models out there lol.

No offense taken, just trying to share my thoughts since the game has potential. And yeah the renders are way better than most DAZ games.

It has a logic of standard harem hentai where girls just waiting for their turn to jump on MC.

Well,it was heavily inspired by masamune-kun no revenge,and that's how things were going on there.Personally,I think that anime was absolute crap.Somehow,I managed to view a few episodes,but,no,it actually burns your eyes and your brain,don't recommend it to anyone

iirc,in ss and patreon versions all sex content with loli was cut,besides some renders.But there was a patch that restores it.Discussion of the banned content is also against the rules tho,so it's better to avoid it

I really don't want to continue an off-topic discussion that's solely about my game

It's fine,we are talking here about hs vns,and yours is hs as well

Padorublad3 I’m sorry if you’ve already answered this question before. Do you have any plans to make a similar list for Koikatsu games someday?

I had it in mind months ago,but I can't handle even this one,having another one would be too hard

btw,now I'm wondering,anyone here ever got any posts deleted by mods?

Since I finished New Horizon and you are a fan of it. Don't you see the problem in how all lewd scenes are started. Girl just say "Lets have some fun" and MC goes "Ok". Only one logically possible scene was when Miharu and MC were drunk. Rest was super spontaneous.

Also I hated Ethereum virtual reality stuff more the all then New Horizon fantasy story has to offer.
