Version 2.0
TL;DR Amazing kinetic novel, with perfect – or close to perfect – story (so far), graphics and dialogues.
First of all – it’s not a game. It’s a pure KN, without a single choice or decision. Second remark or warning: it’s about NTR, jealousy, complicated feelings. And finally, it’s more erotic story than actual porn. If you accept these three assumptions, then you can enjoy this experience very much. As it was in my case.
For me, it’s one of the best KNs I have ever experienced (‘played’ is apparently not the best word in this context). Probably the best one, so far. The plot is quite standard for this genre but it’s believable, not far from real life. And the story is very well told, using both the husband and wife's perspective. We have to accept the comparatively slow pace of the story, with many auto-advancing events… But it’s worth it. For me it worked, I was really immersed… and excited at times.
This is a real virtual novel – I mean the balance between the text and images is close to perfection. A lot is told using the characters’ facial expressions, glances, gestures. Animations are top class. The dialogues are realistic; they convey true emotions… Minor spelling errors (such as the repeated use of ‘to’ instead of ‘too’) did not affect the reception of the text. Because I was concentrated on the emotions and feelings of the MCs.
The FMC is stunning – I mean not only her appearance but also her character design, dilemmas, feelings and dialogue lines. We do not know much about Vivian’s past – but there are some hints that she hasn’t been always ‘a good girl’ or wifey (tattoos, dominant behaviour, readiness for risk taking). Hopefully, these threads will be developed in the future. Though on the other hand I do not want her to become a total whore soon… if at all*. The male characters are not that well-crafted (so far) but I can live with that.
Experiencing this virtual novel I was deeply engaged and felt like I was interacting with real art. It's rare, actually unique. I hope the developer will confirm this in future updates, which I'm eagerly awaiting.
* My dream is that one day this KN will become a real game... by adding some key choices and letting us choose a path for Vivian (or her husband). But in this case I wouldn't have enough stars for My Husband’s Boss, because it would easily deserve six.
