We like this game because of the heart-warming story and the endearing characters. The story of so many games, even good ones, is only a necessary evil to connect one lewd scene after another. Here it's the mixture to turn the balance.
It's true that your decisions have only little consequences. But exactly that is one of the great benefits. There is no risk to turn the game into something bad. Even the greatest drama leads to a satisfying solution.
And in the end it's a VN, no game with many possibilities and variations.
This game is not the one and only. There are other games witch are also very good. And each one has it's own style. I have played many of them. Some are great, some are good, some are strange. But there are only a few ones witch arrest my attention. And MNF is one of these.
Beside MNF I like for example Summertime Saga, Harem Hotel, Haley's Story, Where the Heart is, The Visit, Mythic Manor, Melody, Midnight Paradise, Alexandra and many others. Currently I play WVM while waiting for 0.15.
