Found it in the same place in the mean time, it's also close to where you come out if you help the goblin and he makes a short-cut. Speaking of, is anyone else disappointed that his scene is for under 60 reason, and also lowers reason in spite of the fact that the princess is doing a genuine good thing there, unlike... literally all the other smut scenes out there?

In any case, since I did finish the game in the mean time, it's time to drop some thoughts on it.

First of all, the game itself is just.... sort of meh? There were a number of good ideas in there but they just weren't implemented very well. On normal, the game is just very tedious and this doesn't change much on easy, beyond the fact that you can blast through the tedium a little faster. There's very little repeatability for smut. In general, it's there for the rape scenes and the Inn scene(s), and that's kinda it. I dunno if you can repeat the special dungeon scenes with the male mercs, but much like the rape, it'd involve treading through the tedious dungeons so I wouldn't call that worth it.

The corruption is kinda half-baked. Basically, aside from getting you access to increasingly smutty scenes, the Princess' reactions at lower reason don't change until you reach the capital. Maybe I've been spoiled by OneOne1 and Acerola games where this happens as their corruption and/or sluttiness grows even before you advance the plot... but I think a variable response based on reason is a pretty important aspect for anything that uses corruption as a key element of the hentai experience.

The game is also, in spite of appearances, pretty linear. You might THINK you have choices, but in the end, whether you go full slut or pure, you STILL have to deal with all of the tedious dungeons, because in the end there's a final boss that you need to face anyway, not to mention that there's requests that take you to them whether you want to bother or not. I'm looking at you, Chairman of the Nobles. It makes the whole thing with bothering to slut it up at the check-points utterly pointless, and the linear nature of the upgrades makes it even worse.

Hilariously, in spite of the fact that this game's supposed main theme is corruption, it doesn't even have any actual bad-ends. At least, I don't think it does.

I've unlocked 7 out of the 8 endings, and none of them had been truly bad, even if some of them were questionable...

Lastly, the translation.

It was ok. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't terrible. I'd say this is the minimum standard of an MTL translation for it to be worth uploading. Anything else can be done by literally anyone who has the patience to look up the tools and stuff. Which is no thank you, I can get word vomit on my own, and it's worse than just playing the game in Japanese, at least that one I just don't understand.

I honestly wouldn't have immediately noticed that this was MTL, as some of the errors are expected of non-native English speakers that didn't practice their English a lot. Later though, it becomes more apparent. There's multiple instances where DeepL clearly got confused about who is talking and who's being addressed, because it's context dependent, and they weren't corrected. I assume that this is because the text wasn't fully checked in the game (which would be difficult for one person to do accurately anyway....). Unfortunately, all MTL tools crap out at times with these, confusing he/her and other things.

I'd recommend finding some help from someone comfortable with English if you want to do future projects, that can play at least most of the game and grab screenshots of areas where the text looks wrong for the context and offer advice. That will improve quality massively. At least if you can get anyone to volunteer. If not, practice will make perfect, but there's always only so much you can achieve on your own.

Still, thank you Spermasahne , you really tried, and your effort is appreciated. You made something that is playable and which gives us at least some of the story and whatnot even if details are lost in the MTL. It's better than playing in just Japanese, even if not ideal. Unlike some other MTL-ing asshats that I could name...
