Most of the scenes being "pure trash" is an obvious matter of opinion which I can't agree with, but I'll respect your take even if it bewilders me. As for the farming, yes, it's pretty grindy which is unfortunate. However, the replay mechanic allows you to mitigate any challenge by becoming overpowered after only about three playthroughs, especially if you know where secret loot is and take advantage of saves for RNG. In my opinion, the farming matters so little that it's more of a nuisance than anything, and should've been replaced with an actual fun gameplay loop instead of a generic RPG Maker combat system with uninteresting, forced adventure levels. Still, though, I love that game, primarily for its writing. There's a lack of good storytelling and dialogue when it comes to NTR games.
