The art is cute, a little off sometimes with anatomy, but the girls are pretty adorable. What really holes it back other than lack of content is the technical side. The text is really frustrating to read because of the enforced pauses. If you have instant text on you read, it stops, you advance, but you actually just skip the other 3/4ths of the line instead. Forcing you to have to roll back every few lines. Then there are the auto-advancing dialogue. To emulate the cute rushed speech of a nervous/ fast talking character. It just doesn't play out well in text. I know you are not suppose to really understand them during it, but it just makes you give up on trying to read it which should be the last thing you want the player to do. A better alternative would be just to put it all in one box and just make the text smaller. That way the player is still flooded with the info, but they can read or skip if they want.
The menus are a bit clunky at times. Missing sprites and clear ways to exit them, but I appreciate the guide and the rest that is there already. Its surprising how many games skip over guides or gallery, even if in this case it shows how little is in the game. And can even be a little confusing since one scene is tied to a completely different character. Which brings me to the only part I actually dislike about the game.
The first sex scene really undermines the build up with the character it (sorta) involves. Dream or not it just sorta comes out of no where. It feels unearned and effects basically nothing. I don't think even the MC acknowledges it. If it instead started as the one character and then turned into the one causing it, then maybe it would fit better. Or if it spurned on the MC to be a little less apathetic to the rest of the cast. As it is currently it just feels like you are blowing your money shot with a character of your already fairly limited cast. Unless the end goal is cute but short game with 2-3 scenes with each girl, but then why have one that isn't even "real".
All that said I look forward to seeing more. There is an interesting premise here and the characters really stand out from most games on here. There is good art, (aside from cock placement and a few visual glitches) decent-ish writing, and a pretty creative approach to try things that a lot of games on this website seems to skip.

Is English not your first language or did you flunk it in high-school? This overview desperately needs a rewrite and doesn't bode well for the game itself... The art looks good otherwise?

I was just thinking about this game and was going to check if it was still being worked on and I'm so glad it is.
The artstyle and the girl's are too adorable for this game to be another failed project

Fantasy, Harem, and Pregnancy planned? And girls won't all be shaved? Oh hell yea. Haven't even gotten past the settings question and I'm loving how this game is going

Love the art, characters are fun, unique and cute, but 11 months for 3 "sex" scenes, feels like it's more of a tutorial and just as you get through it that's the end which is a shame for such a long time. Will keep my eye on it but kind of seems like milking patreon to me.

Typo...
"Lilith guides..."
And, there are quite a few typos and grammar mistakes. Hopefully with time they will be fixed.
Good luck with the project dev.
