(It is to note that I played with the fan "improvement," patch which removes a lot of the "cringe," jokes added in by the official translation team so I can't comment on that)
Nukitashi is a comedy eroge with an extremely interesting and unique premise that isn't really replicated in any other game. The concept of an island where everyone is forced to have sex and actively indulges in it, with a organization solely devoted to making sure people have enough sex is quite creative and a breath of fresh air from the typical high school environment that so many visual novels take place in.
The game includes a main character with a deep and complex character that is, for once, actually interesting. However, his character certainly isn't for anyone and could easily be found annoying and redundant with his constant tirades about purity and virginity. He has a compelling back story and constantly grows throughout the story, this is also a breath of fresh air for visual novels compared to the blank slate no-face main character that is typically seen.
As for the heroines, they are quite hit or miss for me. In general I'm not the biggest fan of the NLNS girls and the SS girls carry all of the routes. Misaki is genuinely unfunny and quite annoying, Nanase is extremely basic and bare-bones while Hinami is fine but nothing spectacular. Touka carries Nanase's route so hard you sometimes forget who's route it is. In general don't expect any growth from any of the heroines, they largely remain the same and besides Hinami the romance between the heroines and the MC is decent at best. Misaki (and her whole route) especially feels cartoonishly corny and reads as if the devs game a 13 year old the script and told him to write whatever he wants.
The comedy in the game is generally unfunny but so is most of japanese humor to me, though there are still a couple of moments that genuinely made me laugh. The game repeats the same 3 jokes between the NLNS about 100 times which can make it a pain to read at times.
The game's villians are generally likeable though at times they can feel a little 1 dimensional.
The true route wraps up the game on a high note as well as any lingering plot points leading the player to feel satisfied with the conclusion.
Overall the game offers a unique atmosphere, a complex main character that experiences lots of growth throughout the story as well as some likeable heroines (all the SS girls) and is a worthwhile read.
