While I enjoy NTR, the characters don't have much personality, and there doesn't actually seem to be much of a story. They barely talk about anything, as though 90% of their conversations are happening offline and we're only seeing a thin cross-section of their lives through the texting app. So despite a steady supply of updates, we still don't know what brings these people together, how they came to know each other, where they come from, what their beliefs are, what they see in each other, etc. The whole shape of this social circle feels arbitrary.
So the MC and Liz have almost no chemistry built up. And there isn't much build-up to the NTR. Nor do we ever learn how it got started or what keeps it going, other than the thin justification of Matt's sheer aggressiveness and large penis.
Matt is also absurdly toxic about women. You'd think he would at least have some charisma to make the girlfriend's cheating believable. Instead he succeeds by just pushing his dick in her face a lot (in the NTR route that is the main draw of the game). In which case, what has even been lost? They're just two shitty and uninteresting people who offer nothing of value to the MC. And with us barely knowing who these people are or what motivates them, they offer little value to fans of NTR who want to see actual character arcs.
I don't know, maybe I ask for too much. But we've seen this model executed better in other games in this phone NTR subgenre. I still give three stars because the dev clearly puts in a lot of effort. They just don't seem to have a grasp on story construction or characterization.
