    I don't usually leave reviews, but seeing this at one star I felt obligated. I'm mostly going to be addressing the complaints of the previous review.

    I think the writing is actually quite good. Both the plot and scene writing is strong and not overly cliché. The biggest weakness is the dialog, and I believe this is the main complaint others have. It is admittedly quite cheesy in how exaggerated the characters are, sometimes approaching caricatures. I do think each character having their own unique personality does help with variety and justifies each characters purpose in the story/game. The author just needs to find a better balance (e.g. tone things down a bit, and add a subversive trait to each major character). It is still very early, and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt in the author's ability to flesh them out more. Even if they don't, it's not a deal breaker for me.

    Addressing the media. I think the videos they choose are hot, and the author is clearly trying to prioritize continuity. But they are doing that at the cost of variety (one porn shoot getting spliced into shorter segments does damage the benefits of a porn game, rather than just watching a video on a porn site). Maybe they could find a better balance going forward, but again, it's not an issue I find major.

    Overall I think it a unique game that I quite enjoy, while it has some rough edges, I look forward to future releases.

    Going to be blunt about this one: The writing is garbage. Someone clearly took one look at Anime Harem Tropes and decided that was good enough for a story. The premise is interesting, but the fact that there really isn't much choice, just reading cringe dialogue after cringe dialogue, ruins the experience. On top of that, the actual porn is just full length videos chopped up into several minute sections. If that's the way you're going to present the sex not only is the file size going to get massive really quickly, but going from a hot scene to the bad dialogue continues to be incredibly jarring. I'd have given this 0 stars if I could have.
