Was better in the earliest versions, when it was just a dungeon. Because that bit is done well. The in-battle rape system with your ability to use her as a living distraction is hot as fuck. The randomized events marked on the map are hot as fuck. Her getting so into sucking a guys dick she may have actually sucked him to death is hot as fuck. Her being so scared of goblins she instantly offers her body on reaction rather than fight back is hot as fuck. Her little dance she does when temping them, again, is hot as fuck.
Its hot as fuck.
And its fun to access. Easy to access. Feels natural to access. And the lewdness is in everything, every mechanic.
Fighting, exploring, resting. All are lewd.
And its hot as fuck.
BUT
Then we get to what was added since.
In battle NTR via Yasuo. I was looking forward to this. Expecting it to be similar to gobbos/doggos doing it. But its not. He just takes her from you, there are noises, then an optional scene off screen. Boring. Not connecting it to the core mechanics like all the above, but turning off mechanics entirely to try and make it work.
And now, since this is added, if you have him set high and fight, you lose half your moves and all the unique mechanics. This is worse than before it was introduced, when you could enjoy both smelly dicks molestations AND fully enjoy the combat.
But this, still, it ain't that bad. Step back, sure. But not that bad.
But then we get to the town.
Fuck the town.
Its tedious to navigate, unclear on where to go to see anything, has barely anything TO see. It constantly blue balls you. Stat checks you can't meet prevent you from doing shit. Its not hot as fuck. And if its the direction the game is going in, the game will be, for the most part, not hot as fuck.
Now I don't rate on ''this game will be good bad later''. I rate now. And right now it has 1 mode that's hot as fuck and one that is tedious blueballing with no scenes even worth the effort of finding.
So it balances out. 50/50/ 2.5. Okay.
But it could be so much better.
It could be hot as fuck.

Another aspect I really don't like about it is the MC. Lil' Dicky. Why is his dick so small? Yasuo is some legendary cock mongler, sure, he can be bigger. But Goblins have balls like 15 times the size of your dick. Dogs do too. Basic enemies are actually comparable to Yasuo in virility and size. So why is he a legendary spear masturbator? He shouldn't be. You are just shit. Because its NTR law, I guess, but this is a game claiming the NTR is just as represented as non-NTR. Yet you play as a cucky little dicklet. By default.
There's a scene of him as a kid, cumming first time via being cucked. This is his canoncial backstory.
There is an NPC that lets you rank your dick up, presumably to counter this, but its too early to see how that's gonna work out.

If you are reading this, you are probably an NTR chad. Is the NTR good? Is the NTR bad?
I think its... okay.
Chick only likes you because of a magical ring, and seems to have one making her a slut also. So to me it really doesn't feel like NTR. But I know others have lower standards on what NTR is, so they'll likely disagree.
For me, personally, NTR really doesn't do anything (I just view it as a means to see more impled/stealth/etc sex, which I like) but its such a core part of the game it should be covered.
There are 4 aspects to the NTR here.
1: Goblin induced slut dance fuckfestws in a fight. Trauma induced. Hottest part of the game.
2: Her fucking Yasuo. This has both stealth sex and actual scenes. Strangely, the stealth sex is the weakest part of this. Since you don't get to see him inflate her with cum in those.
She ranks up her willingness to sleep with him and scenes change depending on them, culminating in her faking her relationship with you in the end.
By far the most effort feels like its gone in this than any other non-battle mechanic in the game. But I find the final level, the fake relationship, pretty meh. Doesn't fit when she's literally cursed to love you. Needs a scene where she fixes that.
3: Random dudes. Mostly seen in the dungeon, you can make her suck a random dudes dick, which changes depending on how slutty she is. Its a hot system. Hotter than Yasuo's shit, making it a shame he gets so much more focus.
You can make her do this 'because it turns you on', making the character canonically into seeing her being fucked.
---
2 and 3 lead to issues here. Because you can have him be entirely fine with her being fucked, but then she hides cheating on you. With a guy you told her to fuck, apparently, as the canon in the battle side of things. It doesn't add up. And likely ruins it for anyone who likes the idea of making his wife a swinger.
---
And 4. The least invested part by far: You cheating on her. This one is retarded. The reason you can't do this in the dungeon? She'll deck you for 999 damage. 999. 999 fucking damage. For even implying it. 'Cause she's a a yandere, see. In that scene. And like 2 others. Even when she's already married Yasuo's dick instead.
There's pretty much no content to see here which is a real shame since she, when she's actually acting IC given her curse, actually likes you enough that this would be very good NTR. She'd be heatbroken.
---
And that leads to the final issue. Characterization. MC doesn't come off like he actually likes Kohaku much, if at all. She forces herself on him. And he can isntantly tell her to strip infront of others and soon enough suck dick and fuck Yasuo.
So it being NTR when she cheats just doesn't work. He doesn't feel invested enough to get very beat up about it.
And he's still wearing the ring, so he could just get another nympho anyways, whole not giving her the be a slut to other men ring she may have. So he'd be fine.
---
Kohaku, on the other hand, just feels extremely incosistent.
Is she a lovey dovey gentle healer?
Yandere?
Wannabe sex slave?
Jealous of all other women, or friendly with them?
She's all over the fucking place.
And the game is fucking named after her.
