Cons
- The animations are one of the weakest parts of the game. It is OK to use 2 to 4 FPS animations during non-lewd scenes but during sex scenes it is a major problem. The animations are too choppy due to being only 2 to 4 FPS and don't look natural. 20 FPS is what is required to make smooth looking animations.
- The weakest part of the game are the lewd/sex scenes. The author only illustrates sex scenes using animations and nothing else. It causes a big time immersion issue. The author either needs to narrate the sex scenes with writing or make good use of sound effects. Animations alone do not sell the sex scenes! The sex scenes in the game are plentiful but they are lackluster and disappointing.
- The third problem with the sex scenes is a lack of back and forth movement in the vast majority of scenes. The back and forth movement is generally only one to two inches. Rarely does the MC ever go balls deep because of this. If you have a long dick you need more penetration and back and forth movement (one to two inches just doesn't cut it).
- The final problem with the sex scene animations is the lack of body parts moving. It is too robotic. Usually, only the hips are moving and little else. Some animations are worse than others. More body parts need to be moving during the sex scenes. Humans don't fuck like robots or statues.
- Susan never has her 'Oath of Loyalty' event in the game. She was suppose to have it first and yet Aya beat her to it when she initially said she wouldn't do it and was only loyal to the lady of the house and not the MC directly. This is very odd. I know she didn't have it because when Aya had it, it was a huge magical event with lots of fireworks.
- The MC is a bit too 'white knight' for my tastes but he isn't as bad as I've seen in other games. The MC is likable overall. I do get REALLY tired of the MC always correcting others when they call him "Lord". We get it dev that the MC is humble, a gentleman, selfless, and treats everyone as equals but it gets to be too much sometimes and makes me cringe (please STOP).
- Poor character development with some of the characters. I understand that the MC is building his own house but he meets and visits so many new people throughout the game that many side characters fall by the wayside (get somewhat forgotten). Story events often outpace character development. The love interest count is starting to get out of control and I don't see this slowing down anytime soon. Once the cast gets too large the game will quickly lose focus.
The author created a very detailed fantasy world rich in lore! The writing and story are top notch and among the very best this site has to offer! This game has some of the best and most creative writing that I've seen!
I really wanted to give this game 5 stars!!! I had to take one star off for the lewd/sex scenes (multiple problems as listed in the
Cons). I'm hoping that after the author finishes the game that he'll do a remastered version and re-do all of the lewd/sex scenes and do them properly. I'm an author myself and I hate to narrate sex scenes also but I do it out of necessity. It leaves too much out of the scene when you don't know what the sex partners are feeling or experiencing and have to guess each time. Without narration, all sex scenes seem vanilla (and boring) since their individual personalities aren't being shown (sexy talk, expressions, moans of pleasure, female orgasms, etc.).
There are several instances in the game where the sex comes too easily. It's kind of like, "I'm a male, you're a female, I'm hot, you're hot, let's FUCK!" A bit too much porn logic in some of the sex events for sure. I'd rather have this problem then the opposite however.
One thing that the author does in this game that is almost entirely unique on this site is use realistic character models for the females. Most authors turn all females into perfect supermodels with F cup breasts. This developer uses a variety of realistic character models which is HUGELY refreshing! The developer also uses an attractive male character model for the MC which is rare on this site!
I really liked the fact that the author included a disabled vet (partial leg loss) and midget character into the game. This adds uniqueness and sets the game apart from countless others. The dev also does a great job with the many fantasy characters in the game.
I was greatly impressed by the story and the deep lore that is involved throughout it. One of the most lore rich games on this site.
The harem in this game is done brilliantly! It is one of the few harems that is actually believable and makes sense. This is refreshing as far too many harem games rely on pure fantasy to be believable!
The author has a ton of creative talent and I feel very fortunate that I came across this game (on accident) and had the pleasure of playing through it!
I highly recommend this game and encourage others to give it a try!
