VN - Ren'Py - Strong Desire [Ep.6D Remake] [TheBlueInk]

The quality of the characters and the animation is state of the art. The story is nice, high class situation with a guy having a very unique mission given by his grandfather, which does lead to a lot of lewd scenes. Why not five stars. Sometimes it is even too much, even if you did not chose the path with impregnate all girls. I do recommend to play the path, that the male MC decides carefully, whom and whom not. Especially when it comes to his own household. Still, looking forward to the next chapter, entered my personal top 10 of novels seen.

Overall this is a very mid AVN.

The MC is nearly flawless and at the same time kind of a douche. He is young, athletic, successful and every woman around him falls for him within minutes of meeting him. He is a player that gets magically given a free pass by his fiancée to be with any woman he wants and he still manages to be sleazy with it.

How? well, at first she sets a single rule, he has to tell her beforehand, so what does he do? he doesn't tell her beforehand. She then accepts this without any issue and amends the rule to "ok, but then tell me as soon as possible". What does he do? he takes over a week to tell her about the next girl. So the reaction of the fiancée you ask? well, she accepts this and tells him it is ok, he doesn't even need to tell her.... and yet, the next scene is with one of her sisters, and she says that "she is not too close to her sister (the fiancée), so do not tell her" and the MC goes with it. Sure, he has been given permission, but this feels like totally dishonest and sleazy. So yeah, not a great MC to identify with....

Then there is the issue with the LIs. To be fair, they look good but.... some look older that they should, some look younger than they should, there are way too many introduced way too fast and looking alike because they are family so... it ends up being a mess. I have to check the journal quite regularly to see who am I really talking to.

Not that the conversations are very interesting, to be honest, it tries to give you a business intensive feeling but.... it fails. The author clearly knows nothing of this world or doesn't care. At some points the MC is asked to help with the business of his fiancée's aunts, and the solutions he gives are totally amateurish but praised as if he was some genius business mind.

What do I mean? Well, he works at an investment bank, overseeing his fiancée's family's fortune. One of the husbands is embezzling money from the business, you would assume that the MC is uniquely placed to see this, alert the family, find a way to trap the thieving husband and solve the problem, right? well, no, instead, as the business is not working, he proposes that the sister goes shopping to one of the failing shops where they meet a totally cartoonish thug being the manager of the shop who then starts perving on the fiancée's aunt and when caught takes 10 seconds to spill the beans on the embezzlement. Totally porn logic instead of proper writing. Not a big deal, but enlightened writing this isn't.

For some reason it is then explained that the MC is actually the rightful heir to his fiancée's company (because of course he is), as his father explains that they own 70%+ of the company's shares. So he then gets put in a competition to be CEO of the company (really? he owns 70% of it and they make him jump through hoops?) and then it is revealed that he actually is set to inherit.... fuck all. Yeah, the conversation with one of the oldest aunts of the fiancée goes like this (I summarize):

"you must be wondering what you are going to inherit, right? well, there is a lot of money stored in the treasury (what treasury? nobody knows...) but we don't know how much or who controls it, but do not worry, I am sure it will all be revealed in time, oh, and by the way, you own exactly 0% of the company because your grandfather sold it to us and kept it from your father"

.... I am literally speechless. In previous scenes the father has been giving millions to his family, and has ran off on "holidays" with even more money. He has bodyguards, assessors, a private yet.... when his family thought he was a farmer. So where is this money coming from? in theory from the revelation that they actually own the company, but if they don't, where did the money come from? The writing in this is totally inconsistent and stupid, revealing new pieces of information to change the situation with a "trust me bro" wave of the hand that shows the writer couldn't even come up with a consistent plot for the business side of the VN.

See this: your father is a farmer - he has sold land and given money to the family and ran away (so all the women in the family are conveniently free for you to fuck) - he actually is a millionaire and owns 70% of this mega corporation - he actually knows nothing and owns 0% of the company.

Stellar writing right there.

So yeah, the story is bland and a poorly written excuse so you can go and fuck every single woman in both families, because every other male in their entourage is weak, stupid, dying, a coward or evil, oh, and because your fiancée wants you to fuck as many women as possible, your grandfather sent you a letter asking you to form a harem, and every businesswoman in both families thinks that it is a great idea to have loads of children for the future of the company... yeah, because we all know that heirs infighting is how you keep companies alive, oh, and splitting inheritances into as little pieces as possible.

That leaves the sex scenes..... so yeah, they are ok, nothing too good though, competent renders, not fantastic animations, relatively short scenes but they get the job done.

Overall a 3/5. A proper rewrite that makes more sense of the business mess, that makes the MC not be a douche, and that makes it so he actually has to work for the affection of the LIs could turn this into a 4/5. Then reworking how the LIs are introduced, how they look so they are not so confusing...etc could elevate it to a 5/5.

But this is already a rework so I do not see that happening.

[Ep.6D Remake]

Ok I have played this VN once or twice before so I think it's finally time to write my opinions down.

Writing:
⠀⠀⠀The story here is a classic harem power fantasy where MC is young, successful, attractive, charismatic, has a cute and very loyal fiance, all women fall at his feet with no resistance, and he is about to inherit a large company for no reason whatsoever, because he's a literal 'Chosen One'. When it comes to women of which there are more than a few dozen he's got no real rivals or competition, they're all down bad for him and all other men are repulsive assholes, dimwits and essentially MC's punching bags. It just so happens that when he began to feel tempted to cheat on his fiance, she reveals herself as a cuckquean. Just how convenient is that? Not only that but it turns out both his and her families have close ties with each other, yet him and her just randomly met one another at the library, what are the chances? BUT, that's not all, get this, protagonist gets a 'final will' letter from his deceased grandpa literally telling him to "build a harem" and "impregnate them all". Not gonna lie, after this point I've stopped taking this story seriously and just focused on the girls and lewds. This is definitely the "porn - first, story - second" kind of visual novel. It doesn't necessarily means that the writing is bad, you know apart from moments like "go ahead, my grandson, build yourself a harem, here is some company's shares to help you with that". Actually, now that I think about it, most of the dialogue is boring yapping about business and other slice-of-life topics, which I really don't want to hear about in my erotic visual novels, I'd rather the writer establish the characters more. Speaking of characters, too many of them are introduced too quickly to remember them all and it's quite confusing. First, we are introduced to fiance's entire family and family friends which is 10 women, then all the women from work, then the 6 women from your own family, and then about a dozen of other women of various backgrounds. Thankfully there is a glossary with all the characters, to refresh our memory, otherwise it would be a nightmare.

Choices:
⠀⠀⠀There is a very simple binary choice system. The first (upper) choice is the "good one" and is either enter a relationship, engage in sex scene or gain valuable stat. The second (lower) choice is the "bad one" and is the polar opposite of close character path, deny sex scene or lose stats. I think all of the choices so far only regard your relationships with women and don't affect the direction the main story-line is taking, so kinetic novel, kinda?

Erotic content:
⠀⠀⠀Sex scenes are fairly frequent, but not to the point of it being a fuckfest, I don't think. They're average in length, renders and dirty talk. The AI animations are ....... of a ....... varying quality, let's say. Yet they are still better than the original ones, which are stiff, choppy, low FPS and lack dynamic so, whatever, better than nothing. There are no sound effects. Scenes are mostly vanilla with basic poses and some threesomes. There are some hidden sex netori scenes tho. Heavy emphasis on breeding. There is no gallery.

Idk, I'm kinda torn between 3 and 4 stars for this one. Probably closer to a 3 for now, but we'll see. It doesn't mean that the project is mediocre, it does have potential, yet there are many setbacks.

Disclaimer: I first played with VN about a year ago and honestly there is very little content that has been added since, so I have my doubts about the future of this project.

playtime: ~9 hours

I played to the end of the current update (6C) and have been enjoying the game so far. I disagree with those who cut the rating "because of badly written story".

I played quite a few games on this site and shall say that for a porn game the story is rather good. Not perfect, there are lots of plot holes and the MC is a total Mary Sue but I tell you 9 out of 10 stories on this site are written much much worse and still have better rating.

At least the Dev is trying to make the story coherent and relatively plausible.
The models are hot and the renders are mostly good though occasionally they are not consistent in quality.

Also as the game progresses, the quality of the models improves. And what I like that the Dev is trying to justify it in game that the girls went to a beauty clinic to make a face lift )))

I also like that there aren't any oversized boobs. Just for that I give an extra star. Though I wouldn't mind if the youngest girls still had smaller boobs.

Unfortunately, as many have noticed, the Dev couldn't avoid the common mistake of harem games - too many LIs, which results in spreading the attention and slower progress with the main LIs.

All in all, I believe the game deserves solid 4 stars. Again, inspite of its shortcomings, it is still written better than 90% of shit on this site.

This VN is clearly inspired by telenovelas and other harem games on this site.

The story is ridiculous and overly convoluted, don't stress if you get confused it will change soon.
The characters are mostly tropes but look good, and will have some good dialogue and don't worry the MC is inoffensive and keeps the story moving.

Just sit back and watch it like you are watching a soap opera, and pass me the popcorn because Ijust need to see where this game goes.

First of all thank you for making and uploading this game !
I have to say that i like the game.Its very well made and the stroy kinda makes you wonder whats going to happen next.
Pros:
+Good looking girls and MC
+Very good Renders.
+If you are fun of incest this is all about it (Your girlfriends family included)
+Story is very good so far.
+Writing is perfect
Cons:
-Animations are not so good
-Maybe i shouldnt expect this from a porn game but MC gets laid rather too easily.
-MC's girlfriend is a bit too nice and understanding of everything.
Overall i liked this game very much and i suggest you guys to give it a try.

The start of this game is way too busy, almost the entire first episode is nothing but introductions of more than twenty characters and story wise its a mess, it's hard to care much about the main love interest Anna because while the MC knows her we the player don't, after that the story gets so complicated you would need a business degree to know if it makes any sense
The MC is the weak link in this game, he gets led around by the nose so totally that he's barely more than a prop, at one point the person controlling his life literally says
There are no story choices at all, this is a kinetic novel.

As for romance choices again there are none, you can skip scenes but that has no bearing on how the MC will treat them or how they will treat the MC, you just don't get to see certain scenes and even when you don't see them the game still carries on as if you did which can make the game confusing as you don't know what happened when its referenced later
The MC's idea of "dominating" someone is woefully lacking, i.e. he still does what the person wants he just talks big while doing it.

At the start there was a lot of promise in the story and characters but it loses it when they start back tracking on things to make the MC be the perfect boring standard anime pro-tag who never gets angry at any woman, unfortunately this is done by removing any possible reason for him to be angry at them by making them responsible for nothing but by doing that you make the women identical, perfect, boring, predictable and very uninteresting(it gets really really hard to tell characters apart), also by doing this the story makes less and less sense as it progresses like the test
While the art is really really high quality, most of it is just standard stuff, there are some great sex scenes but again they are mostly vanilla.

Story 1/5 (over complicated)
Sex 2/5 (good but needs some spice)
Characters 1/5 (identical)
Art 5/5 (very well done if a little boring)
Choices 1/5 (skip stuff)
Kinks 1/5 (only one)

This one is not terrible, but more of a miss than a hit for me (Ep 6.B version). My main problem with it is the story. It throws at you a massive amount of female characters, gives them little development or interest and keeps moving and adding, which becomes increasingly confusing. So I just installed the walkthrough mod (which wasn't really needed, choices are in general pretty obvious which is the good and which is the bad one) and skipped through the whole of it after a few in game days. Don't have the sensation of having missed anything at all, images are pretty clear on what's happening and the story is quite obvious. And of course, all the girls just seem to throw themselves at you with little effort on the MC's part.

Render quality is pretty good, as are the character models. Animations are decent, but nothing too special and a few of them are a bit awkward and stiff. Sound is mostly annoying so I took it out. At least no bugs happened, which is nice.

So, all in all, this one is a drop for me. Other games out there seem to give me more value for my time and attention.

(Review of Ep. 6B)

NOTE: I didn't play the whole thing but only about 30 mins, I didn't even reach the first sex scene so take this rating as you wish.

This is a totally generic harem game if the first 30 mins of gameplay is anything to go by, with totally forgettable characters wearing random outfits and speaking random nonsense. Applying the incest patch does nothing to improve matters, as expected.

Technically the product is not bad, I mean renders are OK if you excuse the stiff characters, it's just the whole thing is a snooze fest.

I don't understand why this AVN is not famous. The plet and the characters are amazing, but unfortunately as others said there are too many girls. I can suggest the dev to not add any other characters and continue with the actual ones. You can make a great game by the way. I give you 4 stars, but this game can easily get 5 stars

This VN has a lot of potential that is being wasted by too much ambition.

There are far too many characters. This limits content with each one and also not much development. The Dev should have shown some restraint instead of continuously adding in new ones give more content and time with existing ones.

Things with the MC and his family are being dragged out, some probably due to milking it out and some again to having so many characters that their content and screen time is severely limited.

The models mostly look good ( Bella not withstanding ) but personally I would have liked to see more variety with boobs. It'd be nice to see the A and B cup ladies represented. Also Anna's appearance changes from scene to scene. I also noticed Vinna and Reyna's did as well a couple times. The Dev flat out did Mel dirty towards the end and made her less attractive.

The story gets more convoluted as it goes as well. The MC has a large majority of the company yet it's decided that he would compete for Frank's 30 percent. Why exactly? That was stupid and pointless. Weirdly Madison knows the truth yet she's content to let the farce go on. At this point keeping things a secret really serves no purpose either. Parts of the story aren't well thought out.

Also as far as writing goes whoever is writing the story grossly misuses the term cuck. They keep referring to Anna as a cuckqueen, cuck being short for cuckold. A cuckold is someone whose partner cheats on them. Anna encourages the MC to be with other women so she isn't being cheated on. Sharing is her fetish, probably voyeurism as well so that precludes her from being a cuck. As a writer not knowing term definitions is something I chock up to lazy writing, a pet peeve of mine.

I imagine the MC is something of a sex addict so I'd say he and Anna are enabling each other. She feeds his addiction, he allows her to indulge in her fetish.

I'd score this higher if the Dev trims back the number of characters and put emphasis on the main ones. Also stream line the story better.

Wow, I'm really enjoying Strong Desire! The story has me hooked, especially because the characters are so interesting. All the girls are definitely standouts; they are gorgeous.

The visuals are also impressive. The character models are beautiful, and the environments are well-designed. The animation is smooth and adds to the overall experience.

Overall, this is a fantastic game! It easily gets a 10 out of 10 from me. The characters are engaging, the story is interesting, and the visuals are top-notch. Definitely worth checking out!

It's really unfortunate because this game actually has fantastic renders, it's just really boring interactions between characters with a story that is even more boring and uninteresting. Even though the renders are beautiful none of the characters personalities are memorable.

I hope this dev continues making games though because the art is great.

The idea has as much potential as any other of this type of VN

Decent renders, but the story is pretty dumb and incoherent, trying too hard to make a ridiculous scenario plausible.

There are far too many girls for the author, who cannot seem to keep up with them all and give them enough content to make them interesting. It's hard to keep track of the girls because there are so many, with so little time or effort devoted to them.

The MC is pretty much your typical self insert Marty Sue, smooth face mc long dick, expert in martial arts, business, casanova, etc, etc, yawn zzzzzzzzzzzz............

The writing is below average, verging to poor. A lot of non-sensical sentences, that don't really follow from the previous sentence, or into the next.

Great models, Great story, classic harem plot. What else one needs from AVN.
Women are beautiful, especially the redheads.
Good animations every now and then.
Good support of addition community made gallery mods. Good community made android ports(Thanks DA ports)
I appreciate there is no grind in game, everything is pretty much straightforward.
Not everything needs to be hard to get.

Minor grammatical errors and slight discontinuity issues but basically a solid effort. Animations are OK but not great.
But the story is solid and pretty well told. As with others, he may be getting carried away with too many women. But it's a pretty good harem story that's believable, well above the bulk of this kind of AVN. Hope the team finishes it - because that's what I dislike about AVNs in general - most never really finish the story! And when it's a relatively good one like this, you want to see it end well!

Stunning and lots of LI's. Pretty cool plot. Strong, alpha MC, not some sissy.
Good music, i would add SFX to sex scenes.
Very good renders.

As a fan of harem games, this is a dream game for me!
Thank you dev
Overall 5/5 game!
Keep up good work, looking forward for more.

There is a tendency that if an AVN doesn't include a "serious theme," it is taken lightly, resulting in unfairly low ratings... and I think this is exactly what's happening here. Sure, the games that touch your soul are great (you know a few games I'm talking about, they are my favorites too), yet games like this are also amazing in that they simply serve the MAIN PURPOSE of AVN, which is letting a man live the ultimate male fantasy!

Also, I love the fact that the dev didn't neglect one of the most essential parts of visual novels, MUSIC. I appreciate the dev's ability to tell what's important and what is not and to invest their effort in things that ACTUALLY MATTER!

I like the girls ngl.. Needs work on animations though.
Renders were beautiful but story needs a little push. I would love to see some corruption and little more effort on developing relationship between characters even though mc and all in game characters had some history.
Also focus on primary female leads instead of adding more of them believe me you as a dev will be feeling the heat as you go along.

Game was pretty decent, its fair enough to force a LI on you to start with but if your then forced to cheat on her and theres no faithfull route then whats the point of it and to make it really stupid game starts out being choice driven which it then dosent deliver on later when things starts to be forced on the player.

I hated the sister Macy told her i dident miss her and picked all the choices against being with her, but even when picking wait to talk to Anna, she is still forced on you and i just hate forced LIs with a passion, even more so in games where theres choices with proberly everyone else.
And why did it force that scene? just so Jessie would walk in on them to create some weird drama that arent even needed in any way since MC can do whatever he wants so why the fuck not make it a choice...

The hole Macy deal makes game way to kinetic since all past choices are 100% ignored by the game.

As for story its a bit bland since there is just to many possible LIs, so they will all lack in romance and build-up which results in having 0 emotions for any of them, you can pretty much play this as a pure mindless fuckfest if you like that kind of thing, you do have a choices with proberly most girls but not all.
More LIs dosent = a better game, Less would be a million times better so you can get more depth with each LI instend of them feeling empty and emotionless.

At times it feels like all there is to the game is MC meets girl say hi and girl goes hi breed me and of they go, when done MC will take two steps ask whos next in the que?
When MC gets the letter from hes grandpa on the airplane, about making a harem and make em all pregnant, i can see where dev got hes ideas from, another game with aloooot of sisters you had to make pregnant....

The writting aka the english needs a bit of an improvement as well.



Girls 2/5
Some does have good looking faces but its just lacking in diversity, main focus is big tits fetish so if you dont have that it proberly wont be for you.

Animations 3/5
Average at best, they got so weird jerks going on with the screens in alot of scenes, but i will give them that they made nice virgin scenes with optional show of blood which alot of other games seems to get worng.

Music 3/5
Average background stuff nothing special, nothing with lyrics.

Choices 2/5
Forced LIs and relationships not just the fiance, Forced fetishes, Forced sex scenes, no faithfull route, just feels kinetic where past chocies are 100% ignored, Forced incest.

Game had the potential to be 4-5 star game but when choices dosent matter and are even ignored it will never be a good game, way to much forced stuff.
