VN - Java - Ramen no Oujisama [v1.2.5 Free] [Paper Waifu]

-2
Really didn't care for any the characters (couldn't really stand going through all of them even only got so far with 3 of them before I had to quit it).

-.5
pretty meh graphics (the sex bits what few i watched even remind me of early 2000 flash games on newgrounds) and the like and really debated minusing more points due to fact this such a sex focused game yet the sex is so so old and meh, but imo graphics don't really matter unless this was 90+% sex plus as usual the food looks great.

-1
Just a average at best sex VN with typical horn dog MC and Horn women wanting MC sex not Love like the Joke on VNs with women wanting the MC to quick, but really just sex the type you would usually more associate with 3d Vns or ones that are very clearly about sex at the very least (not -ing more points if anything giving it points almost for being a much more rare style with that sort of genre)

Really don't have much positive to say it has a abundance on food and ramen so if that your thing sure (don't see this as massive negaitive played/read enough VNs that have a huge portion dedicated to Job/Hobby/etc... most so when it in the title and then sex) -->
But does loss some points here as it felt 1/2 was food and unecceary yadda yadda then 1/2 sex/horniness (not even sure if it bug/issue/mistake with some characters transitions showing them naked with like a 3d vision effect or intentional which also remindes me of a really old flash game props to any who know it ) -> back to character rating

You also might like the attempt to have sprites active and longer loading and replaying due to things like tips, info, watching some really uneeded but guess decent attempt at making work place look busy etc...

This game is one of the best out there. The story is very catchy and the numerous amounts arcs for each girl is worth it. There might not be a lot of sex scenes, but the story is so good, that when you do get the sex scenes its all worth it. They are animated and well done as well. Can't believe it took me more than 3 years to find and play this. Highly recommended.

played through the sexy sub route and loved how the story came together, felt interactive like my choices mattered, and compelled me to finish the story after i was spent.

hope the newer routes are also extremely enjoyable in the updates to come.

I really enjoy this game the ramen theme is well researched and implemented extremely well and every girl has a unique character, personality, story, background, and for a lot of them fetish which are even usually explained by the story and many of the characters are linked as well.

However, not all the stories are equally good. For example I liked Sango the least in her route compared to as a side character and it wasn't because of her backstory or anything infact her tragic past was the one redeeming quality of what otherwise felt rushed and forced.

Another downside is, at least for me anyways but maybe not for everyone, is the detectives story line. It is paired with the yakuza story line which was probably my favorite but the fact that she sold out her friend and what it ended costing her friend because of it and that she would clearly do it again showing no regret over the action itself....loyalty is a big thing with me so she became unforgivable to me then.

Also maybe I missed it but in the star story it is never explained how the character she is accused of cheating with knows so much, in particular that she is no longer a virgin, and this kinda bothered me for the rest of the story. However unlike the detective and Sango this could be easily fixed in 2 lines of dialogue where the MC addresses it and the Star says something like "Oh I told him how good you were when he kept pestering me to sleep with him" or something simple like that. Maybe this doesn't bother most people but again loyalty is a big deal with me.

Final thing is the game would benefit from the xray feature in all the scenes instead of only a few but this might be tied to patreon and realistically its a nice addition type thing not a huge deciding factor in whether you like the game or not.

I give this one a 5 star review because it hits it's niche so well. It doesn't have the absolute best art, and it doesn't have the absolute best stories/characters (when compared to other VN's) however it blends the erotic with the dating VN quite well, being more pornographic than most VN's but providing better characters than most pure porn games.

a very refreshing game. a rare vn with such deep back story for each character. Loved All the characters including the protagonist (which is rare cause most protag are dumb as hell). Overall a wonderful vn with great potential

If you like Japan, Japanese culture and enjoy the story as much as the sex then you will like this game. More a Virtual Novel than a game really - in Ramen Prince the focus is the story, a well crafted tale about a young man starting out in life and the effects of the choices he/you make. Unlike many of these 'games' here the Story takes center stage. The characters are fully developed and your choices really do matter. There is a ton of content to enjoy so settle down with a nice cuppa and play through each character to see where those decisions take you _ Enjoy. This is truly an excellent VN.

This was a surprisingly delightful game. I had a lot more fun playing through it than I expected to, considering the kind of odd premise, but it's definitely one of my favorites on this site now. The only downside is that the art in the sex scenes is a bit... awkward. Aside from that, this is probably one of my favorite games, and I'm definitely going back to 100% it.

This is an excellent game. The art is beautiful, the plot is original and has quite a few twists if you play all the possible paths. The writing is very well done and has depth. The H scenes are erotic in my opinion and the girls are beautiful. One thing that is great about this game is it is not shy about H scenes or nudity. Gotta love it.

This is one of the first adult games or visual novels, I'm still learning what all the words and abbreviations mean, I found and I cannot give it enough praise. There are many projects out there that feel hurried or don't have any depth or connection to the characters, but even though this is still and "Alpha" build, it feels like a completed game, just that you couldn't get all the girls in the game, which is kind of like life anyway.

Again I would highly recommend this game. I Keep coming back to it because it is that good compared to a lot of other projects on this site. Again, even though it is an alpha, give it a try and consider visiting Paper Waifu's Patreon page. I am in no way associated with them, but their product is a gem in the rough.
