It's either me being slow or the Novel not actually being 10 hours long but more.
GOOD:
- The relationship between the two grows gradually. (and logically by a real world perspective which may be bad for someone because he/she wants to see lots of sex at the beginning but to me it's more important the plot than the H scenes themselves).
- The VN is not rushed at all.
- Hinako is a good character, greatly written and (mostly important for many) is good looking. Her body looks fine and it's greatly drew (+ points for the feets since in lots of VN they are either not shown or badly drawn, here they are amazing).
- The MC is good, he is a good guy but at the same time he's a piece of shit and I really like this about him. Why piece of shit? Because you can see many times him manipulating Hinako just so that he can feel better. I mean the title itself says it, he stole her because he wanted her.
- The voice acting is good.
- There actually is an after-story that is divided in 2 (it's really short which is good). The 1st part is after some time. The 2nd part is several years later which makes you feel part of the family now that you know what happened to them.
BAD:
- MC working his ass off and studying a lot just to be the man Hinako would possibly like in the future is nonsense. The story begins with us knowing that Kiichi stopped visiting her because he saw at the time her having sex with Jouji. So after you saw the girl you like having sex with someone else, you spend YEARS training, studying exc just so that you could possibly become her future husband? Nonsense to me. Would have been better if she just disappeared one day and after those many years Kiichi moved near her. At least this would have been a better writing choice for me.
- Netori and romanticism don't get along well to me. The premise of the story being Netori is bad and wrong if compared to the actual story. In some hours it just becomes a romantic story between the 2. Jouji, the husband of Hinako, nearly never is shown or whatsoever so it doesn't feel Netori at all.
- No slapping sound (would have made the H scenes better).
- Unfortunally Hinami, Hinako's kid, and Kiichi were never really shown to spend some time together. Little is shown that basically tells us that they get along and that the relationship between the 2, as a future step-father and as a step-daugher), is growing. Again, could have been written better.
FINAL THOUGHTS:
The VN is really good overall, the realism is crazy and this shows how much the author is good at writing his works. I'm talking about realism because she doesn't lose her head, as 99% of NTRs out there, during their first time and not even after sometime, she becomes sluttier little by little which is not only realistic, as I said, but it's really good to finally read something like this. A breath of fresh air, and I say this as an NTR enjoyer (Netorare, Netori, Netorase).
