v0.70
So...I am quite at loss from which point to start, because I feel there are many things to say in all aspects of this game.
While overall story is not bad, I had some issues, some of them quite serious. The characters seems to change their opinions instanteously at 180 degrees. I mean you introduce them, they have some motivations and purpose (while it may be stupid at least there is sometnig), but then MC goes, talks few sentences and they repent and change into devout harem members.
Or there was a certain character build up like a bad person from the beginning. During the time I played she had many occasions to behave like decent human being. But each and every time she purposely chose to be bitch again, lie again, do harm again? But why? Completely illogical. It was later somehow explained as her being addicted to gambling, but is that really valid explanation? In my opinion certainly not.
Oh yeah, and harem girls. They are all super cool with each other from the very moment they were introduced "to the family". Like, don't they have any personality? It is just not possible for that many human beings to live harmoniously wit each other all the time. And if author really has to make so many of them, maybe add some variations please? They all have a good amount of sex scenes, but since they have practically the same body type, it can get monotonous. What are differences between them? Well, breast size. But there is no small here. They vary, but only between big and huge. Why can't there be someone with small tits? Why can't there be somebody with at least slightly diffferent body shape? All of currently introduced THIRTY ONE female characters look basicaly the same. Oh yeah, there was was one with darker skin, but that's all there is for the differences.
Storytelling - it sometimes feels like because of truckload of of characters with their all problems (which are obviously all dumped on the MC), the main story unfolds very slowly. And what definitely makes it worse is... MEANWHILE. I swear, this word... Very often author wants to show us what other characters are doing in the same time. So he just says 'MEANWHILE' and proceeds to show other people. At one point there could be three or even four MEANWHILES in one moment, like it was so f*cking important to show everybody at this particular time. This is definitelly uverused mechanism in this game. I even came to hate the word itself because of it.
Oh wait, and how about Nicole route, when you could pick between Love and Sumbission at first, but then at one point it seemed like the Sub route ceased to exist as MC suddenly changed entire way he's treating her and started to talk about love?
And there is the MC himself. He's bad, okay? Really. Author wanted to create something, but ended up with bunch of contraditions and unpleasant character traits. He's some kind of ex-special soldier super tough guy, yet in the same time supposedly very loving and caring guy. And being ex-special soldier does not give you any form of situational avareness nor caution, because the amount of times when he was ambushed in absolutely stupid way was... too damn high. I don't remember now how many times exactly, but definitelly above 4. Including getting hit in the back of his head with vase by just a regular woman. Great soldier he was, huh? Btw, this seems to be major issue with this game as whole, like for example experienced police officer was also disgracefuly ambushed on intervention once.
Next thing that makes him very unlikeable would be the anger issues. There was so many times he got angry at some people. Which also contradict with his image of nice kind dude, but anyway there is something else here. Each time he promises (to himself) that he will do something with it, or he will get revenge, or he will put somebody in their place, but then never does anything. Just keeps being angry, swearing and that's it, back to the good boi second later.
Then we're moving to the graphic issues, ah oh God, the worst one is MC's face. Well I can understand that not every MC must look like handsome chad, but this one is just ugly. And perhaps it wouldn't even be and issue, but his facial expression are absolutely disgusting. Especially anger. And like I mentioned earlier, he gets angry all the time. I just can't look at his angry face, it's unbearable. There is something very wrong here, even tho I can't quite put a finger on it. Something between his overal looks, angry open mouth but otherwise lifeless face without a single wrinkle? Idk, but it does feel unnatural and very unpleasing to look at.
And for the final nail to the coffin, WTF is wrong with author and toys? There are many scenes when MC inserts something in girls pussy or ass, yet in very next renders those toys magicaly dissapear. Seriously, there can be dialogues about them, even sentences like "you will not take it out until I say", yet the image shows she doesn't have it. All. The. Time. Frankly, during the whole game I noticed only ONLY ONE SINGLE SCENE with toy, during which the toy stayed inside girl in all renders.
So yeah, even tho it is long game packed with sex scenes, it really does not deserve higher rating than 3/5
