There are still many tasks to learn and complete, and I've been to the gym for several nights in a row, but I still haven't met Ivy.

Fooxied longtime lurker, first time poster. First off wanted to say thanks I love the story concept and your renders. Slow burn lots of fun and new game ideas throughout SOD, hats off all around. I bought 5.0 and now the DLC; it was a great side quest! I've played a lot of AVNs this is easily in my top three for art and premise. I wanted to give a few suggestions I see in other games that are minor but I think would add a to gameplay/variety:
1. left/right arrows to scroll through photos from collectibles/bonus content while viewing
2. a bit more dialog during/after scenes, Noticed in the main game too as soon as a scene ends it usually feels extremely abrupt such as a wave and a walk out the door vs any conversation/aftercare. I think it could do a lot to add to the story and connections/interactions as they progress. Even just some internal reflection during a static render or a bit more talking to whomever she hooked up with would add more to the buildup of the overall story.
3. I've also noticed lots of words are repeated often during sex scenes (for example in the frosty scene she said it's "so big" twice, "good" four and "that was intense" twice in a very short overall scene.) Might be good to use more descriptive/varied language.
4. Similarly, I love the added moans/other sexual audio sounds during scenes, not many games do that/do it well, however in SOD they are often repeated many times even in the same scene. A bit of variety would go a long way in making each animation more unique.
5. This is definitely more personal taste but one of my fav sandbox games is Harem Hotel, which allows a lot of repeatable sex scenes in various locations, not just the sandbox chores like in SOD. As a thought layering in more sexual acts (and perhaps that was planned for 5.1+ as she gets more depraved) it would help to make the sandbox feel less sandboxy as noted by others many events are closed at certain times/days and that limits options - sex is always a good filler option.
6. Again a personal request but the sex scenes need more cumshots and viewing the post orgasm bliss for Riley and her friends, would love a pregnancy endgame route too with specific LIs but I know that's unlikely so I'll just vote on messier finishes to the sex.
Overall please take this as fan feedback, not criticism. I really love the progression and corruption goals you've built this story around. Riley and many of the SGs are visually some of the best I've seen. Your renders are stellar, easily up there with BAD, Chasing Sunsets and Summer Heat in terms of proportional, detailed and realistic quality which is exactly what I want to play. Keep it up I'm looking forward to 5.1 and the story expansion!
