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.

- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
