I'm sure you've seen every other review here, but let me tell some unorthodox reasons of why I love this game.
Firstly there is an insane amount character to character interactions in this game. You can pick someone up from the beginning of the game, have them in your party, and they'll start talking when you find someone with similar interests, personality, or race. The best example I can think of this is the interactions between the Mimic girl and the Elf Princess. Mimic can be found as early as Iliasport (early part 1) while Elf Princess is from late part 2 and Demo part 3.
Secondly is the ever growing list of Jobs and Races. The combinations you can make with their abilities is so varied that you could have a magic casting character train on a melee Job or Race just because they have some unique ability that would be massively helpful for your magic casting or other particular build.
Finally I like the sheer freedom you have between choices while still remaining somewhat constant. You can recruit one of the biggest main characters that massively affects the story, or not. You can stop the world powers from destroying each other and the very land they live upon, or not (this does come to bite you back later). You can listen to the game's advice for how to progress and survive, or not. You can choose between an ancient Goddess and her quest to eliminate all monsters or choose the descendant of the Monster Goddess as she epically reclaims her overthrown throne, or you can just be a pirate. You got some deciding to do buddy.
If that or the other reviews have convinced you, then let me tell you some of the downsides of this game.
-Inconsistent art, which also leads to either bad but sometimes great h-scenes.
-The grind can be too much if you are trying to 100% maximize your character's build or effectiveness.
-Focused solely on femdom or reverse rape, which can be a turnoff for some people.
-No real relationships.
-The very beginning of the game (Early Ilias continent) can be somewhat confusing and may require a wiki.
-Even with increased difficulty bosses always seem too easy. (I wish they had more health rather than just purely increasing DMG)
-Forgetting objectives is easy, but you can recruit Amira in Iliasburg to help with this. However, some players may not know this and go on without Amira and make the game a whole lot more difficult for themselves.
-Somewhat cringeworthy power scaling hierarchy (you can absolutely decimate a boss but they will just say that they aren't using their full power and start talking down to you even though you know you still would beat them.)
Even with all these flaws I would still say the game is an easy 5/5!
