I shouldn't be writing this, but I need some catharsis. I'm trying to get to the end of the current build so I can give this a fair review, but what started out an enjoyable process has become so agonising. I'm so fed up with the mc constantly doubting every little thing. Everything is a back and forth. He's constantly pretending he doesn't want something, then admitting he does, then taking it back. And apologising when it's unnecessary. I thought this was going to be dropped once he started fucking his daughters, but no, it persists, hell I'd say it gets worse. In real life he'd probably be diagnosed with some anxiety disorder. It's just so painful to get through even a single conversation that I keep putting the game down, which means it's sitting on my computer for even longer.
Doesn't help that the relationship between 2 of his daughters feels very NTR like to me. There's no point in debating the semantics of that controversial term; the point is just that it gives me the same feelings of jealousy and disgust, albeit to a much lesser extent than if it were a man. I'm normally fine with girl-on-girl action in male protagonist AVNs, but this game goes out of its way to rub in your face just how great and sexual their relationship is. Hell, the mc encourages one of them to make it an official girlfriend-girlfriend thing.
I know almost everyone who views this post is going to be a fan of this game, which is why I'd rather just write a review, but I need to do it to blow off some steam. If you are a fan; if you don't find the mc annoying; if you don't mind the daughters' relationship; that's great, and I'm glad for you. It's all a subjective experience.
Normally, I enjoy games that take the slow road and develop characters. This game I do not enjoy.
The main character feels like he exists to be acted upon without any agency of his own exept to stagnate and endlessly ponder issues instead of making up his mind and advancing toward a goal.
Let's look at his history, he has a shrew for a girlfriend, meets a girl that is far more pleasant, said girl is into him, and he does nothing for years on end.
Even as said girl is leaving, and after his sister outright tells him to man up and tell her his feelings because she was into him, he chooses the cowards way out. He does nothing.
Result being: she leaves and gets pregnant with some other guys kid. Good job man.
And on and on it goes, every fucking step of the way. Each time the story advances is because of the actions of other people, he is just along for the ride, reacting to others, never taking the initiative.
Frankly just get it over with, the girls get fed up with waiting for him to take action, leave him to stagnate because he is seemingly incapable of doing anything without someone holding his hand and telling him what to do.
He dies alone, an eternal cuck and genetic dead end, while they build lives and have kids with guys that actually care enough about the girl to take the initiative and stop prevaricating.
And this coming from a guy that hates ntr with a passion.
