I swear to fucking god, this game pisses me off. The scenes take FOREVER. Literally just repeated images for 5 minutes straight, if not more. My patience ran off before the scene actually finished. Great art, just cut the dialogue, nobody cares about it to the extent that they want a novel.

I honestly think the scenes taking too long issue can be solved by making it an option to have text appear instantaneously, as well as having an option to have the special effects/transitions near-instantaneous. Such as when the camera pans to a different character, the cg changes, or there is screen flashing going on.
Now whether it is an easy option to add to the RPGMaker is a different question, but the things I have listed are generally the norm in VNs for exactly the same reasons people are complaining about them here. Not much need to complain about a 5+ minutes scene when a speed-reader gets it over with in two. My usual fix is to just run cheat engine alongside and put in to 3x speed in any long scene, then switch to normal once the scene is done. It's something that works, but maybe something that shouldn't be expected of players to have to resort to.
By focusing on tinkering the default god-awful RPGMaker UI one also won't have to bastardize their own scenes to make the game bearable.

I disagree with you.No offence but you shouldn't just say "nobody cares".You can't speak for everybody because everybody doesn't have the same opinion.Just look at Monster Girl Dreams,a game with barely any pictures but it still has a huge following because some people want longer scenes and more text.It's ok to voice your opinion just,you know, calm down a bit.
I disagree too. It's the difference between a game and just fapping at some pics.
Here, we have a guy who want to build a true game. So it is about lot of text. It's not your fault if you don't like it, but it's not the type of game you need.
Personnally I think this game has the potential to become the best porngame.

I have a little English sonnet for you that summarizes this thread, in classic iambic pentameter, naturally:
At last, the code to your ri-ches is found.
We praise those huge tit-ties; se-cond to none.
Yet a gripe is still here, ly-ing ar-ound,
So close, so small: One quick touch and it's gone!
So long as there be text with-in this game,
We must im-plore that you im-prove its speed,
For if it stays as is, so slow and lame,
The folks will yell and scream and shout their need.
If thee tru-ly wish for a crop to reap,
Heed ye these words we say, change it and go;
We do pro-mise that in joy we will leap,
Hea-ven doth bless ye that good seeds do sow.
That your art is so great, we won't de-bate;
You see, good sir, for words we shall not wait.

I forgot to tell you one thing. While the Eras indeed continue the story of the predecessor, you don't need to worry story-wise as each Era has a satisfying ending and is relatively "self contained".
In other words, you can enjoy any Era without playing the previous one without any restriction at all, as each Era will be very different from the other. But playing them will help you understand the situation/story better.
Just a simple example: In the bronze age succubus are a real thing, no one question it and they invade your world with armies of them. In the Present, they are nothing but legend, but they are summoned by powerful mages in secret societies to further their own goals.

This also means that game play is gonna be different? Storywise it would make sense that they would be summoned from secret societies in the present because people would be more skeptical and weapons like guns would pose a greater danger.
By the way, how much more powerful is a succubus in general. I get the impression that since they are the height and weight of a man that the weakest would be around as strong as man but the more powerful members can overpower a man with brute force.

Gameplay will definitely be different, since you draw power from the Sword of Adalon and the Soaring Gauntlet now. In the future, this might be different, with guns, like you said.
I try to make this series more believable, even a overpowered succubus will not be an anime-like character that can destroy an entire army alone. They must use strategy to win, which will be shown in the story.
Succubus are magical beings. They mostly rely on magic and temptation to win.
Generally speaking, succubi are no different than a average women when it comes to brute force. But even the magic of a lesser succubus can be dangerous.
There are exceptions though:
The Crimson Blood clan are a cursed (dual cursed in this case lol) clan of succubus, that need blood. Their curse also gave them the strength similar to that of a bodybuilder.
And The Scarlet Hellish are a faction of the Hellish clan made by strong, tribal, tall and muscular succubus made for war. They have the physical strength similar to that of a power lifter.
These two clans can easily overpowered a men with brute force. The other clans might need to rely on magic (which is extremely strong depending on the clan, the higher the stronger) or temptation to win.

Got to say enjoying the story and yeah the temptation great to accept those succubus offers, only succubus I felt bad for was probably the one capture by the witch she seem pretty innocent interested in seeing how that pays off though.

I've been having way too much fun imagining some beefcake in the modern times encumbered with the state-of-the-art equipment confronting succubi.
Just imagine:
Gas Mask on face to protect from any smells.
Night-vision Infrared Goggles deal with a lot of optics nonsense as reduce how much they can actually entice a man.
Ready to inject shots of amphetamines, speed, morphine, and whatever else.
Might as well throw on some kevlar/ceramic plating and Tyvek/Teflon cloth to cover the body. Sure, it'd be hot as hell in that, but think of the options that type of protection opens up.
And you might as well at that point go full chemical warfare and bring along a canister+hose of toxic chemicals to spray along to make everything better. Or bio-grenades.
All in addition to a death bringer of your choice such as a flamethrower, shotgun, or regular machine gun.
The only thing missing from this is an energy shield to enable my favorite strategy of dealing with enemies pawing me. (Thank you Underrail for the inspiration) Namely; repeatedly fragging myself at point blank and having the energy shield absorb the shrapnel as everything around me loses limbs.
Now, it might seem that I'm just describing your average shooter at that point, but my point was that the modern world is very well equipped to deal with most forms of succubi temptation. And at the point that you are protected from their smell, touch, and their image is a heat signature. Even sound can be mitigated with hearing protection which would be required anyway because gunfire. What could they even do at that point aside from magic? It's back to undercover work and dream-visiting at that point, because they'd lose every direct confrontation where they don't have overwhelming magical supremacy.
Probably the reason the future world has no idea what succubi are to be honest. Even they don't want to deal with that shit. Barring further evidence I am also going to assume that what I've described is similar to what the non-protagonist spec-ops will look like in the present/future.

I don't know... so many possibilities! I'm really excited to develop this world.
Imagine you coming back to an area such as the Kastalim Tribes, but in the present, and is now a full city with skyscrapers, cars, etc.
It will be a long and fun ride.

Makes sense considering how they are temptresses.
