Tips:

I
tem farming tips:
Be sure to use Lucky card, you can buy them from Nether ward.
-Soulphonica. Go to Laboratory, midway, go to the room on the right, get all items, Skip to next day, repeat
-Soultrap Stone. Go Sealed Streets, or Secret Club(Recommended) and beat the golem-looking mobs.
-Warped Mutated Stone. Go Underbase, Endpoint, beat the robot looking mob, go in the boss room to reset the mob, come back, repeat
In the post-game, Monstrum Nest has a useful shop after clearing it, do remember to check it out. An easily missable shop.
Equipment tips:
Orthros Gear is OP. It gives guaranteed extra turn. It requires lvl 4 Corruption tho, which you can easily get by consuming Eroding Capsule. Air booster and Void Walkers are second best compared to Orthros gear.
Transparing is very useful for backtracking since it allows the mob to completely ignore you and give guaranteed preemptive move. You will need to do a side-quest to investigate the groper to unlock a demi-monstrum to get an ingredient for crafting.
Reflective Bulwark allows you to instantly defeat enemies upon touching them(While in the map). You need to grind its level up first before it becomes useful. It doesn't work in Crisis mode, so not quite useful after all.
Gameplay tips:
Hold on left mouse click to get through Fate of the Defeated much faster
Hold Ctrl key skip the dialogue faster, hold Z key to make the sprite move faster during story.
Get Exploration Engram II early. The effect of revealing any hidden path will make your life easier for getting item that is required for crafting utility items which affects lewd stats.
Enjoyment tips:
Try not to rush. Enjoy the little interaction such as eating, swimming, running, and shopping. The game puts a lot of efforts into all these smaller things. Let the heroine grows on you, and so her corruption is more... exciting.
Don't be too bothered about virgin /low lust clear. Try out all those H-scene event, it does make the world feels much more lively than virgin clear.
Try playing the game as Hard mode or very Hard mode from the start. This game feels almost too easy midway, even at very hard difficulty. On the other hand, playing at Crisis from the start is almost too tedious to grind yourself up to prepare for upcoming challenges.
Review:
There are many great reviews in the review tab already, Just wanted to explore and highlight some points of the game.
Starting with the most arguable point. This game is quite hollow.
It is interesting how simultaneously the game has built a vast and interactive world filled with many small daily life events and actions, yet the game itself feels quite empty.
The game also pay great attention to many kinks and lewds details.
Look at the sexual traits, the variety of clothing, the spectrum of sexual fetishes, the sexy stocking! You can observe that the game has put in the vast effort and care into making it erotic.
Even in the gameplay mechanic, the whole engram of corruption path and the lewd game mechanic that actually affects the battle. These also show great effort in making the lewd stuff works as seamlessly as possible together with the gameplay itself. The devs are obviously quite skilled in making a game that is this complex and remains relatively bug-free.
The game even bothered to create numerous little memoria depending on your pregnancy count. I am at 16 and it still isn't the maximum count.
The character and the game settings are nicely done too. The game does make me feel like the character is a real magical girl. It has a lot of tropes that are conventional for magical girls, including the common magical girl fetish too.
It even has streaming as H-scene, which fits well into the contemporary world.
So what is wrong? What is lacking even after all these?
I think it is the story that is lacking.
It is actually very generic. Becomes magical girl, beat monsters, beat the bigger monsters, one twist in the story, End...
The "doctor", teacher Tanemaki, and even Amane mother's backstory felt potentially more interesting than the main storyline itself.
The story could add a bit more of personal touch or a higher stake. Maybe add a potential love interest for Amane. This can also improve the virgin ending and potentially add NTR element for those who likes it.
Amane's friend feels kinda too helpless. Almost uncomfortable and sad to see her whenever she appears.
To summarise, the game is vast,interactive, captures the daily life and magical girl perspective exceedingly well. However the story is just hindering it from realising it full potential. In the end, the game feels more like an intricate sandbox with heroine being the puppet subjected to your whim and desire, instead of growing her up into a more respectable, memorable and distinguishable heroine.
Few improvements I hope that game could have added.
