RPGM - Sword Art Online: The Trap of Breath Concealed Magic [Part 2 v0.40] [Fujino]

There will be minor spoilers, needed as examples for arguments. Also, sorry for any upcoming mistakes; English isn't my native language, but I want to try to give an adequate opinion on this

The Good:

• Gameplay-wise, this new game by Fujino is of much higher quality than its predecessors.
• Combat scenes are pretty good.
• The progression of the antagonist is done well, evolving from cunning to bad to evil.
• I like the story of the little sister, who is frustrated because her brother won't bang her, so she goes wild.

The Bad:

• Performance issues.
• UI problems.
• Crashes.
• Asuna's boobs are way too large but that's subjective.

The Painful:
Now, before I start, I hope we can agree that especially NTR is mainly not about the violation process but about the story and caring characters in physically and mentally "displeasing" situations. That is also clearly the aim of the dev, as the proportion of text to animation is like 90 to 10%. Sadly, that's exactly where the game falls short.

Asuna: Some people say she is a whore. As of now (Part 2, 0.15), she is not. The problem with her written story is that she just doesn't care about Kirito, love, or any other common relationship-related senses. Right from the start, as she starts caring for Inoda, she starts lying to Kirito and doing borderline cheating stuff. At the beginning, she is not forced or anything; you can even argue that her behavior encourages Inoda to become more corrupted and violent throughout the story. That's how it's written, and it just doesn't make sense considering what she and Kirito have been through over the course of their backstory. Later down the road, the author tries to bring in some "struggles," but they're just not believable if Asuna still does the same stuff right at the next meeting with Inoda. ^^

Kirito: The one and only black swordsman himself (sorry, fellow Berserk fans, it was just too tempting )) PS: I don't like Kirito, BUT... In short, you can call this game SAO - that time I got reincarnated as a Sloth (stupidest animal on earth).

The MC in this one is just so unbelievably dumb; it's painful to read his lines. The thing is, the dev also has an NTR game about Denji (Chainsawman). It would be totally okay for him to be this stupid because the dude literally grew up in a shack, and his only contact was a speechless demon dog. He knows nothing about society, common human behavior, relationships, etc. But considering the backstory of Kirito, he is cold, calculated, and decently smart. I just don't get why the dev had to pick the "overly original" idea of small dick and zero brain cells. The character has enough backstory to make a decent plot. Just a few suggestions:

• As it happens in real life, long-lasting relationships, the closeness fades as time passes by.
• The dev could make him study and work a lot because he and Asuna want to move abroad.
• The dude is known to be handsome; you could make Asuna jealous.
• Or make him at least an otaku who is more interested in playing games than spending time with his girlfriend.
  
  simply just somewhat believable storytelling

Last but not least, I have an example to make it absolutely clear. There is a scene, to be precise, it's a video in which the literal ID card of one of the girls is held into the camera over the whole "recording" process, and he still doesn't get who that is. C'mon now, that's just, geez...

I don't know; it seems that the dev is aware of the story issues in part 1 and tries to change and improve things, which I highly appreciate. To sum up, in Part 2, Kirito got some serious brain upgrades right from the start, but sadly, it's too late, as we know what happened in part 1. Honestly, I don't think part 2 can fix this matter, but I hope, for future installments, the author works on better storytelling, as overall, objectively, it's a higher quality production, and the dev has some good skills.

Haven't tried part 2, but part 1 was pretty awesome and hot. A lot of scenes with nice build up to the next event. A little bit of exploration with scenes as well, you can miss some of them if you go directly to your objective. But the maps are also small with few locations. 5/5 game for me.

Truly excellent work with awesome plot and very much enjoyable content.
Combat for such games is perfect, easy and short but not too much with little choice. Plot is going smoothly like drums before showdown of CG's, hoping and expecting more CG's with main characters. Don't know how plot will go further or there will be more choice options with different endings or no, but for me Hebishima(current Sugu BF) feels like side character villain and main one being Inoda with exciting options of invisibility. He could later lose little bit fat and get fit somehow turning little bit more handsome or no because it could change the plot context in good or bad way. What I am expecting and hoping from this game and dev. that there is no need to rush this game and it could be as big it could get in different parts like now because this game for many could become 1 of few Favorite games if it's already isn't for some.

Part 1 was decent with its pacing I find. But part 2 is an absolute nightmare. The dev stretches the story as far as he possibly can with boring, innate tasks and talks that go nowhere.
You finish part 1 and kind of expect for part 2 to have a little bit more on the hentai even in the early game, since the female character was corrupted in part 1.
But nope! You wake up next to her, you have some breakfast, you walk to school but not before the protagonist pointing out that they should wake up that guy who cucks him.
Like who gives a fuck? MOVE you dumb fuck. You arrive at the school. New character introduction that takes ages, then time to explore the school! You HAVE TO find the library, the swimming pool and many other rooms.
Of course everyone has several comments to drop every time you enter one of these rooms.
You go home, you log into the game again just more talking. Then lets explore the entire village! You HAVE to enter these many buildings now, again every time some comments from the NPCs you're with.
The entire game is like that. Then you have to bring some package from the library to some coffee shop, again nothing happens its only implied but its mostly just more empty talk.
You go home, log into the game, as always nothing happens. You wake up, have breakfast, go to school, buy some juice for your classmates, more empty talk with nothing substantial being said.
You go home, have breakfast, go to school, the protagonist goes like "Oh how about some pringles?" and visits a store, yet another character introduction.
Like its so boring. Seems like the dev forgot about the first part entirely or he forgot to add hentai to his hentai game.

Amazing fanfic plot I have known about SAO, especially Asuna. CG and script are also wonderful too (very very **rny). I 'm looking forward to next update for this game.
I hope Fujino will focus more on building the main route with Asuna in next time, instead of trying to other characters. It's not like that i'm not intertest in other character or their story. I'm only want to see Asuna'story more and more as soon as possible. Anyway, thank fujino and colleagues very much for the effort put into this work.
P/S: The other game of Fujino is also excellent. Example, Sakura's chapter.
Hopefully Fujino will continue to create more wonderful works like that.

Only played Part 1 so far and just started playing part 2. So this is about part 1. Dividing this in to story, gameplay and NTR stuff:
Story:
You play as Kirito (the naive), and have a relationship with Asuna (the overly kind) and this guy Endo etc is getting bullied and you help him out and play some online games with him, similar to SAO anime, virtual thing you live in the world and it has real feels and such. This Endo or whatever is a real douchebag who sets up scenarios where Asuna will get attacked and he saves her. Your girl Asuna will slowly help him out a little here and there out of pity and because he saved her a couple of times. One thinf leads to another yeah?

Gameplay:
There is some combat but there's nothing to it. It's there to make you feel you are in a game world killing stuff. You automatically heal up and I don't even think you can die even if you tried. Kirito also have a insta kill enemy spell that is actually quite nicely done and hilarious , 50 tp kills just about all, if not gather 100tp and you will for sure! I like it though, no farming etc just head out and enjoy. No gear pieces either. Just there for story elements.
NTR:
Part is all about you being Kirito and you're a dumbass deluxe. She could even tell you she is cheating on you and you will answer: "Oh, do you want pizza?" She can suck him right infront of you and you will think that she is eating a sausage.
I prefer when the MC knows about the cucking personally but chooses not to act. Being oblivious is fine too but when it becomes too obvious I find it just bad. I know love and all can blind one but there are limits.

Thoughts and such:
Anyway this part 1 felt like a warm up for part 2. It seems part 2 is where the real game begins and part 1 is just the corruption complete part.

I am really looking forward to plart 2. As I just started it but it seemed way better at get go.
Also when MC is just an oblivious dick I tend to stop reading what is said as it doesn't matter. It will just end up with, reasons to trust or whatever and he still knows nothing so I fast forwarded just about all text when I realized he will never know. Half way in about.

Also I'm giving it 5 stars for now because I'm fairly sure part 2 will make me do that anyway.

i really enjoyed this start of the second part. Everything goes much more smother than first part, its clear the dev is improving. The ui is nice, the maps, the look in general is better. Content ofc, we knew that we will have something but nothing crazy, at least my favorite part, is that is clearly confirmed the 2 main paths, with the 2 new bars at the top, so we will have the hard ntr route and the cuckito route. Overall, a great start for a great game.

5/5 and easily one of the best NTR games out there and combined with being a SAO game gives it huge potential in my eyes.
Art style is really very nice. Good shadows and movements from brests etc.

Feedback on the style of part 2.
What it looks like it's building up to be more open and free than part 1 was and with more characters and places to interact with.
Suggestion is to make something in the menu or in the phone to give you hints or clues were certain characters are or what they are up to. That way you don't have to run around all over the place, go into every single building every day and search high and low for different events.

Will have this on my watch list and will eagerly wait for next update.

I could write out a whole essay on the pros and cons of this game, analyzing and judging it completely and utterly, but I won't. Rather I'll just answer the question I'm sure many newcomers have when checking this games review section: "Should I play this game?"

The answer is yes.

I find there is no reason not to. Its an NTR game that knows what it wants to do, and completes that goal with quality and care. Its not some character driven masterpiece, but it doesn't need to be. If you go into this game, go into it like you'd go into a John Wick movie, for the memorable action (sex) scenes, and characters/story thats just believable enough to evoke emotion and not break your suspension of disbelief. This game is extremely memorable to me, with multiple scenes I reckon I'll never forget it regards to NTR.

Trust me, this game is worth your time.

One of the best games in its genre. And perhaps the best SAO game ever created. The pacing is great, with the story progressing neither too fast nor too slow. The animation style is unusual, but quite pleasant, I would even say excellent.

this is best NTR game so far. I always dreamed about Sword Art Online game(with NTR stories) and it really came out! with great modelings(which is made with Koikatsu) and stories are juuuust crazy! people who loves Koikatsu type modeled characters and NTR stories and SAO, they gotta play this game for sure!!!

So far this is an excellent NTR game, with some really unique features!

The corruption aspect has a nice build-up, and feels pretty earned once action starts happening. There's always an element of having to suspend your disbelieve with NTT corruption, but the way it's handled in this game has enough logic/background with the antagonist shown to not make you question it too much.

The combat system is used in a really creative way with battles being perfunctory and incredibly easy, but used as a way to advance the NTR plot. This has been done to some extent in other games, but SAO uses this system in a unique way that really leans into the NTR genre.

In terms of animations, I'm not usually a big fan of the art style used for the sex scenes (preferring a more drawn/cartoon style), but these are done really well and work perfectly in this game. One minor gripe is the ever-changikg size of the protagonist's "weapon", but it features rarely enough and can potentially be written off as a "perspective of the love interest" thing.

Only other thing worth noting is the sporadic performance issues the game can have. There are some random crashes experienced by most people (although the game's autosave feature does help deal with this), but there are other issues that may crop up. I was experiencing frequent crashes, the game's performance tanking and lagging on certain maps and not being able to progress past a certain scene in game due to the game tanking and inevitably crashing. However, these issues went away once I unplugged my laptop from my docking station/external monitor, so I'm at a loss as to why this was causing problems.

All that being said, this is one of thr best games I've played on here in recent months and I can't wait for Part 2 to release!

It's an above average game, which isn't saying much giving the playing field.

Plot: 4/10 Really bland and unnatural NTR story? Both MC are so dumb to the point of having 0 brain cells and eyes or ears. Almost feel like MC is asking for it... I mean 2 of the most experienced players not knowing what the boss does, while some guy who never left beginner town was able to gather the info.
Scenes: 8/10 It might not be my art style but overall pretty hot setups. battle sex scenes are really good.
Gameplay: 2/10 I mean I gave points to the battle sex already, other than that it's just a waste of time. No gear, exp don't matter, no stats.

If Karryn's prison is 5 start for a good RPGM game, then this game probably fits in 3 stars. I believe the hardest and the hottest parts of NTR games is making corruption progression more natural rather than hit the MC in the head. Would also really do well if it had a pure route so battles affect outcomes, or like hints to avoid mandatory NTR.

This is one great creativity deliverance. The developer combined multiple platforms making it more 'fun'. RPGM + Koikatsu (I think it is koikatsu as there is one scene that points it that way) + VA (it is re-used but at least not heavily repeated on single instance). Sure it makes the game heavy (size and load) but if it is quality content, why not? plus these issues can be fixed/improved over time.

If you have enjoyed mmds or iwara contents then this might be something you would like to explore.

Would like to see more variety on the VA while being specific of one character using one voice. Kinda funny when you hear different natural voices of one character but I guess this can be a future investment. Hopefully dev does not stop, seeing that dev is in tough situation for growth.

First i loved the models used for the game and i loved the sex animations and the combat sex is amazing if im were rate this game just for this i will give a 10.
But the history is ridiculous bro kirito is the dumbest MC of the all ntr history asuna is dumb and weak minded the online part of the history is decent but the real world one is horrible bro how someone can accept that situation just random small events and asuna is giving a footjobs and boobjobs for a random ugly guy.

On my humble opinion the DEV made this game based on others normal ntr where the characters don't have a background history and just rush the history foward to reach the sex part.
If i would make a game like this i probably will start the corruption on the online world with events like the one in the sewers and in the thieft caverns and after some time win the trust of both asuna and kirito so he can meet in real world and start the corruption in the real world.
The dev could use even some thing from the anime to affect the memory or the body in the real world.

I would keep looking foward for games made by this dev because i love the sex scenes and the koikatsu models he use.

Possibly one of the best NTR games I've ever played. The art is really strong considering it looks like it was made in KS the translation is not the best but despite that it's clear the game is very well written by someone that really gets the fetish. There's a wealth of content here in the part 1 version of the game and it ends on a fairly cliff hanger ending. I don't know how often the dev updates his game but I'll revist in a few months time to check it's progress. This a serious one to watch for NTR lovers!

This game is awesome. Its a slow build to get to the really good stuff but its enjoyable the whole time. My only criticism is that in the current version it ends right when you get to the best parts lol. Cant wait for more

awesome developer and awesome game good scenario and good scenes you are kirito and your lover asuna playing sao in this game you can see asuna going slowly corruption and going ntr also asuna mothers , kirito's sister(suguha from sao) and asada in this game and they have lot of scene to

Part 1 review
This is my first review ever. Just loved this game! This is one of the best game ever. I was starting to lose interest, and then this game pops up and boom! Really loved it! And finally a SAO NTR game. Even if English translation was not perfect, mostly on the menu, it didn't matter. Dialog translation was really good. Can't wait for the next update! I've big hopes for part 2. I hope that the Dev will continue with the monthly updates, because this game must not die. Even if there is the star rating system here, I'm giving this game a full 10 out of 10. Excellent work Dev.

[2034-05-31 Part 1]

This is a nice NTR game that features some great "mystery NTR" progression.

The game features an oblivious MC (Kirito), and there are a bunch of veiled scenes that happen without him realizing that his girl is cheating on him. The use of the message board and phone is a classic. The rate of progression is just perfect, imo. Not too fast, but not too slow, and characterized pretty well.

Also, the entire atmosphere of the town is that of NTR. There are a bunch of little side characters who are cheating on their respective boyfriends and the player can find those events by exploring the town before advancing the story.

The Models are Koikatsu, which isn't my favorite, but it gets the job done. The animations are really great though.

The reason this game won't get full marks from me even though it executes the NTR story extremely well is because it has a few glaring issues.

1. The translation is pretty good for an ESL translatior or high quality MTL, but it's still not in fluent English. That said, it's definitely still playable even for someone like me who has a rather low tolerance for shoddy translations.
2. The combat design is absolutely shitty. Granted, the dev certainly seems to be using the combat as nothing more than another avenue to dispense the H content, but it still felt annoying. There are no items, no character building, no challenge, no nothing. The RPGM combat is just another "event" where sexual harassment takes place or it's just used to simulate the passage of time. I guess it fits the narrative that Kirito and Asuna are super OP characters, though.
3. The biggest demerit is the optimization of the game. It runs like shit. The animations take forever to load. There are memory leaks. It crashes often. At least there is a frequent auto save slot that will bring you right back if it crashes, but meh.

Overall, this will definitely be a treat for anyone into the oblivious NTR genre.
