It is sad that the ending was so extremely rushed, what a disapointment. Most of the girls were extremely likeable, the redemption of the MC was nice to see, and the plot, although a bit cliche, still fit well into the game.
Even though, it's sad that many things in the end didn't go as promised. Rene was shown as the main rival, but his presence through the game is barely noticeable, with the exception of the start, it is shown the involvment of Phil, but it isn't given any reason as to why, there is a timeskip who completly ruins the flow of the story on it's climax, some girls tag along with the MC just because...
But what bothered me the most were the endings, I mean, I kinda understand why the girls don't the MC to cheat, but at the same time time they accept harem with some and others not... why? I can understand for example Lizzie and Vanessa, but why they accept Amie and Jeane? Or even if they accept, why isn't that explained? Even worse, not long ago Amie will break up with the MC if he accepts Julia, but at the same time she's ok being with Lizzie and Vanessa?
Don't get me wrong, I love harem endings, specially family ones, but if you have something that goes against the girl personality, at least give reasons as to why she accepteds this or that. Because the way it was it seemed completly random, even as to why some girls getting bothered with Stephania, but not with the teachers... I mean... And it made me sad specially for Stephania, because while she was a bitch in the early game, it would work great as a redemption arc for that character, to finally find someone who actually loved her and not just having sex.
Man I'm really sad the game ended like this. I was really enjoying some character development, the "corruption" of some, specially Lizzie and Jeanne was made correctly, not too fast, not too slow, there were reasons as to why the feelings were shown on those characters, the conflict as well... but the end was a complete mess. Sure some writing wasn't the best, could be polished here and there, it definitely deserved something more. It really seems the dev got bored of the game and just wanted to finish it, which is sad because, again, most of the girls were extremely likeable. There aren't many games out there in which is I see "I like this girl, but I don't like this, etc etc". Besides Daphne, I don't recall seeing a girl who really didn't call out to me in this game, which gave me even a bittier taste after seeing the ending. Not because there wasn't an harem ending, but because of how there wasn't.
Finally, just a small question? What the hell happened to the missing student? MC and girls smashed in the ending and she suddenly isn't important to the plot and that's it? Man...
Sorry for the long rant, but I had to vent. When I dislike a game I simply ignore, but it wasn't the case. The game and casting deserved way more. The fact that the reviews on this game aren't bad probably show many also liked the game, and maybe also got disapointed with the ending.
I just wish this isn't a sample of what's to come with "No More Money", because again, besides one or other girl, I'm really liking the characters and the atmosphere within the game. The fact the pace is slower might help on them, due to the quality being higher, since is a more recent game, the disapointment will be even greater. Since I'm liking No More Money so far, and I was liking No More Secrets, I was wondering if I should support the dev monetarily (I'm not rich, but I like to be fair), but due to how this one ended I really think I won't. Sorry again for the rant, but I really got disapointed. Some may disagree, I don't want to shit onto the dev as well, but it's my opinion.
