Hello there.
If you are a writer and love Melody for the story i think it's been some time since you checked the Adult game scene. Don't get me wrong tho.. I love Melody for what it is. Simple story, Choices that changes the story and good looking girls. But when it comes do deeper story it's about as shallow as a puddle of water. You would know if you had been checking around and tried more games. I give you 2 exampels from the top of my favourite list of adult games based on good story telling.
(Acting Lessons) & (Depraved Awakening) Both games are complete and free to DL from F95. Would love to hear your thoughts on Acting Lessons

Hey, thanks for the links, I already saw these being very much appreciated and was planning on trying them one of these days, maybe in a month or so...
Although I have to answer to the first part of your comment. You're right about Melody not having a very convoluted story, I'll give you that. I wrote a very deep and complex fanfic once (regularly for 4 years actually). It's not what it is... and it's not what mesmerized me. I'm sure a lot of other adult games knows how to make things feel rewarding as well, not filling your time with easy fuckfest but rather making you attached to the girl and fighting for her very long before having the chance to get her. As I wrote in my review, Melody is more than that to me - and as it seems to others as well, which surprised me a little to be honest. I had a few days to think it off, so let me try and clear things a little.
I find my feelings about Melody bringing me back something like 15 years back, when I was 18 and was a helpless romantic. Had I continued on this path, I would probably behave and speak like the MC here in a lot of ways - one of the reasons I felt so much involved into it. That's an innocent, less jaded version of who I could have become. I did say that since playing it I was going strong on the Good Guy vibes, particularly with my loved ones... Not that this has never gone away, but life's reality shaded it as time goes by and disappointments follows. Well, the game brought back a part of me that was somewhat lessen, allowind it to burn through the sky again. That's incredible.
As for Melody herself. A fellow discord member phrased it very well :
We like her because we feel protective of her due to how inexperienced and young she is, and how she shows gratitude to the MC. It's not exactly a balanced relationship, but that's OK because it's a fantasy and most guys have a natural urge to protect and play the senior/dominant role in a relationship.
...
Melody actualy has a personality, and it feels like she can be in love with you, be your protege but still retain some independence. She has enough of a will of her own to be loyal to you, and to fight for you.
I think he's very right, and could add to that that for me personally it goes deeper. The reactions she has, the way she looks, the strength she can show are so much things that made me fall for her, as I wrote, at the same pace the MC did. The game takes the time to make you work towards it, and while it's not very hard to attain it - just make the most obvious choices for it and you will get the girl, it's so rewarding... At some points it was overwhelming for me to play. I couldn't stop at night for example, and got very little sleep... When usually I'm really cautious about this since I have a very demanding work. You can tell it got somewhere deep ( no pun intended
).
So, even if I have no doubt I'm going to find some incredible stories along the way now that I had my own depraved awakening (so to say), I don't think anything will get close to Melody - not about the game, deepness, or the story, but about how it spoke to me as a person.
