What was the turning point? xD

Because you're the dev of the game I'll try to develop my thoughts (not a native speaker so pardon my broken english).

I really don't mind long setup, quite the oposite actually, but the 25% of the game is just a mess, too much characters introductions, too much jumping one place to the other, and I think your writing (at first) was too wordy. You use a lot of words to convey not such setup nor world building. Compare the videogame part and the introduction to the new neighbor vs Girls changing room in the sexshop it's night and day in terms of pace.

I don't mind the fact that some characters talk in a trashy way but many time you would benefit from being more subtle.
To back-up the fact that it's kinda hard to get in the storyline of the various characters, you got me as soon as you started to switch POV, that was my breakiing point. I didn't skip a single word after the beach sex scene the sequence : Peeping the neighbor -> VI Shooting -> Sexshop (my favorite part because way more subtle, and with a better build-up) -> Rock show was perfect. The texting part between the sisters (the roomates of the hero in my head because I don't see the point of incest) and the hero about the swinsuts was really great as well. Mixing the storytelling by Vi of the Shooting during the BJ was excellent.

Also the hero is non consistent enough, in one act he is immature and talks like he's 14 and in the next scene for no reason he now act like is the king of this earth. I really couldn't play AS him because of him. Anya was way more consistent and was way more easier to follow as she progress in her journey

Finally Ari could use more backstory and a POV part because she can become my favorite character if she is not only described as the trashy girl but if we could explore more her reasoning and motive. Anya for example can become some kind of lust goddess at some point but at least I know where she's comming from.

I can really see the progress you made as you start to master your story etc. Swimming is very good there but it is a sea in which it is hard to enter at the moment.

Best of luck in you progress mate.

Out of curiosity, what’s your native language?

I agree with almost all of your points, and that’s exactly why I’m working on a translation (to French) because it's a way to smooth things out! After several revisions, the text is starting to sound really good. And when I say ‘really,’ it’s because French (and I suppose Latin languages in general) is better suited for subtle nuances than English.

To me, the original text provides a solid ‘skeleton,’ which is already a great point. My only hope is that others will step in to help the developer with the polishing work because as you pointed out, there is room for improvement. But we must keep in mind a man alone cannot handle everything (image generation, text writing, scripting) at stellar level! And believe me (because I see it at my tiny level), just like in any field, the time needed to approach perfection grows exponentially!

Maybe you could ask in the translation forum if someone is available to translate the game into your language?
And if someone is interested, FYI, I can share my own PSD files for the embedded text in images…

At the end of the day, having more quality translations broadens the audience and it's also a way to support the studio! :D

There is no way you have a hard time writing English when you can do it in french, French is so much more hellish :KEK:

While I do know that a lot of people don't like switching out from the MC, this is one of the things that vastly differed this game from other netorase games I played, so I want the dev to keep going. But, yeah, it really should be optional, making you click the button to switch perspectives.
Also the phone messages are really hot, and texting goes hand in hand with netorase, so I don't see it being put aside.

Readings these things in english is hot, but when I see the words in my language (brazilian portuguese), my elementary schooler spirit kicks in and I have to contain my laughter. :ROFLMAO:

Yep, same here. The only exception is 'that' game developed by a brazilian, it's so well written and full of BR references.

Finally got around to play-watch this LN. There are no options so far, which is fine with me.

I mainly chose to write a post to congratulate the dev on the great AI art he is using. Particularly the center point of the game, the adult Violet model is insanely good, not that the other female models are much behind; the best friend from Onepunch-man is very well put together too, as are the Sisters.

That said, this story is not for me; I do not have the stomach for it. I took the time to actually read the dialog, and it's such heavy-handed NTR fuel that I can't bond with the MC. Also, the MC doesn't seem to actively do things, only passively responding to things, like he is a passenger in a bus to despair, aka Sneako. He says he wants it, but those emotions don't really seem to be shown in his character, mainly because he is passive towards the story.

Again, I actually read some dialog, and when she told her boyfriend on the second time they have sex to fuck her good or she would find someone who would, after literally going off on how she wanted all the guys at the show to fuck her, I was done.

I wish anyone who stays good luck and once more great art, mister dev. Since this is in development I made a comment and not a review.
