I've read a bunch of the five star reviews up here, and I question if there is much more to say...but I wanted to add my own just as a gesture of appreciation to the developers who are really doing some exceptional work on this VN.
The characters are distinct and interesting, the story moves at a good pace, the writing weaves deftly between comedy, horror, and eroticism, and the MC is a fully developed character who you don't mind inhabiting at all.
If I have a tiny quibble it's the way the mother is occasionally dropped in and out of the narrative, because I enjoy her with the MC...but I get it, as the sisters are more involved with the MC's quest.
My only major complaint is that the story must inevitably end at some point...it's going to be like finishing a great novel/movie/show.
Edited to Add:
Now I have played the game to completion (although the dev indicates they may add a few more scenes here or there, I hope they do, particularly in the harem ending) The five star quality is absolutely confirmed; now as a complete game, this is top class through and through. At one point during a wedding Blue da ba dee started playing and it got a little dusty in my room. That doesn't usually happen to me during ACTUAL weddings.
If I have a nit to pick, and it's a minor one, I do think the dev has gotten excited about their next project (as am I, to be fair) and that perhaps that cost this game a more fully fleshed out epilogue. But, if more scenes are added to the epilogue later, even that criticism may be premature.
TLDR: Kudos for making a great game. I'm looking forward to Eternum.
