I don't think you've played the VN.

There is no sex at all in the common route and that's 10+ hours long. Sex doesn't start until well into a girls route and there are only a handful of sex scenes per route with each route also being 10+ hours.
Actually I did; I think you need to not be a defence * for no reason people can like or dislike what they want and I prefer better story+characters in VNs (Obviously me being on this site; should be clear I like games/novels with plenty sex).

But as others have even pointed out yes there plenty of sex in it and if you into that I highly recommend it for it, maybe try and play it alongside it and dream its connected :unsure: maybe finish common route first which might better help understand story and just be seen as your character explaining what happened then make save and then when interested play a gal route for bit make seperate save go back to this game and repeat as needed.

Also I think you don't play/read VNs often if you think 10 hours is that special there are VNs with common routes WAY beyond 10 hours (and even gal routes), 10 is really nothing at all.

Until today I can't comprehend why Asami's (not so great) route was the final path to unlock and not Mariya's (back in Shining Song Starnova)...
Same, man, same. She'd fit in a lot better too, considering that Sasami's route was all about the seedy underbelly of the idol business, which Mariya was explicitly part of. Blergh.

...Wait, Sola Di Ryuvia from Sunrider's IP is in it, too? Now I have to try it!
(...Love in Space should've made Sunrider 4 "The Harem Ending" instead of Starnova...) ;-)
Yeah, the Sunrider girls are in it, but they don't have plotlines or anything (at least, as far as I've played). They're just bonus idols you can hire to round up the group, but I've personally never really found them to be of much use (at least in the campaign), since by the time you can afford to hire and maintain them you're probably on the way to winning the level anyway.

Reading comprehension, I said 10+ hours which will obviously be longer depending on reading speed. It's down as a 50+ hour long VN.

Each girl only has about 4 sex scenes so where you are getting all these scenes from I don't know but you have not played Shining Song Starnova if you think it has too much sex.

Not only that but sex doesn't even start until the second half of the game.

No real reason to reply more so since it not even correct game technically and you just throwing a kid's tantrum because something you like is being "insulted" in your blind eyes (which no worries it is common to such kid tantrums, even more so when it is more compliment then insult if insulting at all) so this will be last reply.
--------------------------------------------------
You clearly read very very few VNs.

There are VNs that reach 100+hours (plus have dlcs), again 10 or a few more then 10 is not longest.(30-50 hour total for this one apparently) --> idk why you brought up reading speed and how I didn't include the fact you had a + and therefore can't read but you just chose its longest reach and then added + when should be - ooo nvm I do you a kid defender.

Like "90%" of VNs (anime Visual Novels not the entire scope of what someone may call a VN and of course not eroges) also have no actual sex during Common Route (aka "first half" as you called it this time) so fact you don't seem to know this just makes me :cry: for you.

*extra note*
As I stated I didn't find the story+characters great with their "sex" bits being the worst parts of it (though the Cgs/image quality of them are quite fine enough though idc much about that); I didn't just say the quainity ( I only said that in a reply not even to you, but went ahead and fixed that)
btw also you can include extreme ecchi ("exhibition"/"tease" etc...) not just penetration or whatever. (been to long since I read starnova for me to recall how much it had of those sorts of things, but know it had some).

The VN's got at least one scene with the best girl (Mariya) where she shags your MC in her costume, all while RP'ing a casting couch scenario. Go for it!

EDIT: With regards to the amount of sex discussion, I personally thought they were all right, inexcessive and well-spaced. That said, different strokes for different folks and all that.

Why cant we have the corruption version of this game where they learn to sell their bodies?
go to tags corruption there are TONS of games with it. (idk of any great ones off hand more so since it not my thing and there far too many of every type from young-beast-milfs-family-optional-forced-mind... why i suggest just using tag).

If that your kink suggest just looking up Idols like someone pointed out Idol M@ster before, I got like Tsundere idol: my personal M-pet right away on f95 just from quick search seems extremely heavy on the sex parts, and know seen other Idols.

I played this game a bit and it definitely had room for lewd content if they wanted to add it in. Especially with purity and stuff lol. Sad days.

I think it's been well established there's no sex at this point. How's the actual game itself lol

Couple have said it ok, don't expect a huge following for it here, this is F95 more for porn or least stuff with it.
(I am glad it has non-porn just fact is most here are not here for them understandably).

So let me get this straight.
They make a management spin-off based on a eroge VN but then decide to cut the eroge aspect,putting the thing into a genre with actual big competition instead of...you know...combining the two aspects and produce something actually barely present on the western market.

Oh its by Love in Space...yeah that kinda explains it.

What competition has this exact type? (and is not some like horrible phone game).

Ummm this F95 you can find plenty of stat based games with adult content.... (still yet to play this idk exactly how all it works but seems you have not either).
Idk why you bringing up western market like WHat ?_? I mean even a decent amount of Jap games assuming is what you talking about are here.... and elsewhere though not as many as I and many would like and maybe no or not best translation but still... Also Western Market LoL "we" (horrible power sad, people of certain vocal groups that are dominant here sadly) ruin and hate such things and borderline 1 day may not get as many as we get or change them forever.. (which bloody sucks)

what about LoveSpace?.... they have not done much or anything bad....

Oh I dunno,maybe the entire manager rising sim genre that started gaining profile with Idolmaster´s success.
I specified the western market since the genre is far more popular in the east(or at last Japan)and with that has an even bigger potential rival market.

Dont even know what you are going for with that "plenty of stats based games with adult content" nonsense since having stat based mechanics is such a grotesque over generalization its completely worthless as a definition.
Even moreso when I was obviously talking about the manager rising sim (sub-)genre but hey,if you actually meant that I will happily listen to all your examples.

what about LoveSpace?.... they have not done much or anything bad....
I will readily admit that I have an axe to grind over how they handled Sunrider but I dont really want to write an essay about it here.
If you want to,consider that statement pure bias on my part.

Did your google translate have a stroke or something?
I have absolutely no clue what you are even talking about.

Name some examples of games you can get here that are similar to this game and competing with it you did not do that. (Actually curious now).

I have played all sorts of games with management and adult content; depends how exactly you want them to be. ->
Played a few where you run a porn studio (think 1 was even just called that), one where you run a strip club(don't recall name), one where you like drive people around (dont remember name), quite a huge number of slave ones many of which were quite popular to point I doubt I need to go get their names (if I do I can like Strive though that a bit rpg), there DC Villian HQ or something like that etc etc etc...

You for sure are being 100% bias on lovespace so good on you knowing that.

As for last bit was mainly just confused why you specified Western Market, since it seemed odd to need to add.
Then I just went on a small rant on how it sad how it's western market aka trash on twitch/twitter that have to much power here that are ruining these sort of things (and so much more) so therefore extra odd you bringing them up so specifically.

I think that in terms of management sims in general where the goal can be described as making numbers go up uP UP, there's a lot of them- Football Manager's been around for yonks, as an example. However, in terms of management games for specific subjects, sometimes people want specific things.

I mean, for example, I want to play a gladiator trainer sim. Not Football Manager, not Football Mogul, not Out of the Park Baseball, even though those can also be described as 'sports games where you manage a sports team'. I want to manage a team of dudes and/or dudettes*, train them, equip them, talk them through their problems, and at the end of the day, help them be the best they can be at turning another team of dudes and/or dudettes into the pink paste they use to make McNuggets. That's an experience very few games afford me, and I'd be willing to spend good money on something that gives me that very specific experience. Or McNuggets- you damned well best believe I'd spend money on McNuggets. One look at my flabby gut ought to tell you I'm serious too.

Back on topic though- there are a lot of management games out there, quite a few good ones too. But if I want to manage an idol group through the music industry, Idol Empire is the only game that comes to mind.

*Since we're here anyway, are there any games that let me manage a bunch of gladiators? I've played all the Age of Gladiators games on steam (yes, even the one where they're in space), as well as Domina. Bonus points if they've got adult content in them too, 'cos musclegirls aren't just my jam, they're my peanut butter and chocolate spread.
