VN - Others - Completed - NTR Room [v1.014] [Midori no Teikoku]

Even treating this as a "text based" game with some bonus CG it's just not worth it. Even assuming a 100% perfect translation (which it's mid at best. Not as bad as some have claimed it to be I feel, but certainly not "good" either), the story is just lackluster. It's more like a slice of life story with a few branching paths and a low effort NTR hentai plot in the background. Your choices feel rather meaningless, the H-scenes, even including the scattered, brief, text "yup someone's moaning in that room" scenes, are sparse. And while my personal interest is more the "corruption" aspect, there's basically none of that. And despite being an NTR story, near solely from the perspective of one of the cucked characters, you basically don't see any emotional distress, if that's what NTR appeals to you.

So all in all it's a mediocre story with little in the way of anything erotic. It feels more like something built to be sold on the premise alone with no intention of delivering on the premise.

I'd really like to give this game a better score. The premise is exactly what it needs to be and no more. On the first day of school, a charming, sleazy student declares he will sleep with the girlfriends of all his male classmates. The art is nice, the character design works. The translation is MTL, but pretty serviceable. There are even Japanese voices.

Just...so much reading. And so little worth reading. None of the very few choices you make matter in the slightest. Same old pictures of characters standing around the 4 same locales and making the same 2 expressions, over and over. Not even much in the way of actual hentai...until you play it multiple times, I discovered. I could barely sit through it once! It took forever and felt like work.

The translation is atrocious, as expected from good old saikey MTL. You'll see character's pronouns swapping right away, the occasional disconnected context-free information dump (why is this character going into such detail about deer musk?), and more.

Visibly the most offensive errors are names; characters will swap their names, other people's names, make up new ones, or just not say any name at all. It can be hard to understand what's actually happening in a scene because characters can make up a completely new never-before-mentioned name and use it for a whole conversation. Or worse, sometimes you'll realize halfway through a conversation that character A was describing character B, but had inexplicably been using character C's name instead.

These kinds of obvious errors leave a deep distrust for the rest of the translation. How much is accurate, and how much was just hallucinated by their LLM of choice?

Putting aside the glaringly poor translation, the VN itself just isn't that good. People have gone over all the bad things about it and nauseum though, and I agree with just about everything that's been said. It's a mystery NTR that shows blatant sex scenes complete with inner monologues. It doesn't make good use of the character's POV for mystery stuff, and it's too tedious to replay just to lift the veil. I honestly couldn't be bothered to do a second skip-through after I hit credits.

But there are a couple of highlights: The voices and the art.

Though sparse, the voice acting was decent enough. It's unfortunate that only a scant few scenes are voiced, but oh well.

The art is great, but also mixed, at least for me. I think the eyes, expressions, and faces are absolutely gorgeous. It's a nice style, very expressive, pretty and distinct. And those impressive faces are placed atop ill-fitting cookie-cutter balloon-titted bodies. Even characters described as being slender look like they were modeled straight off a Google image search for "porn women with big boobs". That's just a matter of taste, though, and the illustrations are still well done.

Honestly, this game is only worth attention for the art and nothing else.

Never has a game been so bad, it has no plot, no sense except the conversations, the graphics worthy of hentai comics, a ridiculous NTR. The various DEVs have no feelings at all in writing these little things.

Finished the game after an hour or two, there's only allusions to sex scenes with the GF, the only NTR happens with a 3rd party, as it's someone else's GF getting fucked.
The few scenes there are are alright, but there's an incredible amount of character introductions that don't really matter, and general filler just to pad game time.

I love NTR and i have tolerance for some of the less creative reasoning as long as it leads to a hot scenario.

The story isnt great and the characters arent the briggests.

But the whole hidden sex is too sweet to pass, especially with the classic behind the curtains + friends that live in rooms with windows facing each others.

that said there is a but a big BUT that makes any further ananlysis of its merits and flaws irrelevant.

Making you play a VN twice is already an outdate desing, most NTR VN give you the option between one perspective of both at the same time.

Playing it once without seing any sex scene from the fmc is outdated but understanble if the developer wants to really push for it.

Twice you are really testing my patience.....BUT when i've played this damn thing (that isnt exacty"Lord of the rings" level writting) 4 times and i have yet to see the FMC getting fucked..... then whomever came with that idea should never develope a VN ever again.

Art is good, story line is potentially interesting, but next to nothing happens for long stretches which becomes boring quickly. The choices that are there also don't feel like they do anything. The developers also didn't put in imagery in for several scenes that your character witnessed and it feels lazy.

Hidden Sex Scenes are good but the story is short and too rushed & Chika's facial expressions aren't sharp enough & she doesn't speak loud enough, the story route isn't enough to absorb, it seems like it ends quickly
But I like this game

You have to go through the game multiple times without being able to skip text quickly (skipping is constantly glitched), with zero changes to the walkthrough, all for the sake of very few scenes. The NTR component is almost non-existent, it doesn't feel like it. The translation is terrible.

The is bad writing and things that break immersion. This is easily amongst the lowest tier of NTR there is.

Choices have no relevance and can be utterly ignored. There is no difference regardless what you choose. The female characters are dumber than you can imagine.

The reactions from the male characters are utterly unbelievable. Overall, the need to play the game two times just pissed me off.

Spent your time better on something else, even if you are the biggest NTR lover there is.

This storyline and execution is simply bad.
