RPGM - Sword Art Online: The Trap of Breath Concealed Magic [Part 2 v0.65] [Fujino]

I see a lot of negative comments and reviews for this game, the pacing is slow, the game consists of going here and talking to this person and repeat blah blah blah. Isnt that what an rpgm game is normally anyway?
Regardless, this is one of, if not my favourite game on this platform currently. Sure its not the 10/10 game ever made but in my opinion for someone who releases monthly content the sex scenes are surprisingly nice. Personally I disagree with a lot of the complaints i've seen (maybe not disagree per se but more like willing to overlook or dont care about) but every update has me counting down to release time in hype. Alas you can't please everyone but this game, for me, is goated when it comes to NTR. Can't wait to see what happens in the coming updates and god forbid if the game is ever abandoned then it will truly be a loss to mourn.

Fujino cooks.

Loves the writing on this game it move a bit too slow on game play for me so I play it like a VN in recollection but by far my fav game that I don't play and go straight to VN style I STRONGLY adv anyone that does not care for the play style to give the rec room a try

The Game set's an excellent premise to start the story, the protagonist(krito) here is made clueless not completely brain dead but someone with low EQ and with his own little world of thougts, Heroine(Asuna) is written in just a way a good Netorare should be not some mindless bitch in heat who orgasm's just after looking at the guy's cock, the story moves in a good flow justfies the action and change in heroine and hero's behaviour, Little by little the heroine and Hero are getting corrupt but Hero is still a bit subtle nonetheless Heroines pace is just about right.

Talking about content in the game, the game has ample of content and a varietey of them at that, the animation's do justice to that which makes this more exciting to play. Though the gallery system can be a bit annoying to some people but that can be bypassed with cheats and stuff.

Maybe it's my personal choice, but there should be choices and consequences for Hero ignoring Heroine for too long and Heroine is taken advantage of and vice versa, adds immersion to the game, otherwise so far in my opinion it's a good game.

The game itself has some bugs in part 1, and in Part 2 the game is a bit wonky as it randomly crashes, hopeful the dev will look into it.

Tldr: the game is a fantastic NTR story not mindless wombo jumbo a decent story and fantastic animations. Would Highly recommend anyone interested in NTR.

This rating reflects my opinion of part 2, part 1 is the game I fell in love with at the beginning, it had an easy to follow story, some side content but not too much, clear progression and a nice corruption up to the final climax night where inoda and asuna fucked till morning. Part 2 however is just a large disappointment.

First of all the entire corruption is somehow reset, like they fucked their brains out a minute ago and now Asuna doesn't even recognize Inodas existence which weirded me out at the start. Inodas weird "gf" and all these side characters imo just felt way too distracting for the main story and added little to no value. The whole anxiety system is really bad (especially since this is still a completely linear story, why overcomplicate the systems?), same with the status screen being way to overwhelming. The performance and bugs worsened quite alot in part 2 and the story progression seems to only really include scenes between Asuna and Inoda in FOG as if she is just randomly being corrupted again? It doesn't make any sense and I feel like the dev should've just closed it off in part 1 and moved on with another project.

I wanted to hold off writing this review until part 2 completely releases but I feel like the story is going nowhere. I can recommend playing part 1 but part 2 is way too much of a mess, can not recommend that one.

This game was so good in my opinion that it made me watch the anime and now I am hooked with both. Good job dev can't wait for more updates, the character progression, new ones and maybe future projects.

THe three stooges raping simulator.

The typhoon scene is the breaking one for me.
You seriously want me to believe Kaito doesn't bring his OWN god damn keys with him?! Sure bruh

Who is dumber.

#1 The MC who apparenty won a Battle Roayl MMORPG, but in real life walks around oblivious to his surroudings.

#2 The GF with a Golden Heart which turn out to be a magnet for BS, cause she lacks the ability to think logically.

#3 A abused kid who most likely did something to his parents, and his only idea of solving a problem is raping.

THe plotholes in this game are so big you can hide Dave Blunts in them.

-A convenient coincidence. The MC was about to visit AKina, but suddenly has to do errands for a teacher? Seriously!? And he is too stupid to figure out he should bail and really visit his GF?!
-Akina shouldn't even bother visiting Inoda! She supoosedly wanted to break up...Why even bother visitng him.
Instead she spends a whole day with him?!
-Why is she at his house to begin with!?
-She waits until IT STARTS TO RAIN. Doesn't ring him, doesn't bang on the door. Why aren't the lights on?!
-Why are they wet?! Those japanese houses always have a roof above the corridors.
-Inoda ALWAYS there when MC meets Akina. ALWAYS.
-How did he know to take the spare?
-Why does the MC blabber to himself about hiding the spare key?!
-Why doesn't she have a spare of her own to begin with?!
-Typhoon is coming. The whole city knows excpet her. Too stupid to figure out on her own.
-Kaito calls her to tell her after it starts to rain...Why didn't he call her earlier?!
-One day flu LUL

Definitely the worst writing I have encountered.

The game is just sad...
The only enjoyable part of this game is the relationship betwen hebishima and the MC's sister. Whatever the hell her name was.
Actual NTR. Also all the small NTR encounters around town. Unfortunately there weren't enough scenes of...you know...THE ACTUALL SEX. Show me more of Akina's mom, all those school girls. The web scenes are too short. Show us all the depravity in it's glory.
Also there should be more commentary from the MC about all the cheating going on around him.
You have to get off on the idea of everyone fucking each other behind their spouses backs. We know it's happening, yet all behind the screen, off camera...
The only character and story progression moments worthy of praise are Kaito slowly realising a connection betwen Inoda and Akina, and his talks with the priest. Unironicaly the Akina/Inoda relationship which should be the strongest part of the game, is just a poorly written dumpster fire.
So like, what's the point?

One of the goats when it comes to NTR games, extra credit since this is SAO. Part one started off pretty slow but once it picked up speed, it does not stop. Considring this is a NTR game, the story is pretty good. But where it shines the most are the character model and the sex scenes. The female models are 11/10 and so are the sex scenes.

Great game if you like Sword art online or hate Kirito and want to see him cucked the only thing that would make it better is if they let you name the guy stealing all of Kiritos girls so you can pretend you are the one cucking him

The story is incredibly written well, the sex animations are really good and the writing makes it 10x better... the developer also gives consistently good updates. playing every update is enjoyable unlike some other games that makes the updates after 6 months of waiting feel like absolutely nothing

A brilliant game through and through, for me. Good NTR, great animations, and enough regular updates to keep the game relevant. And no recycled pose animations from Koikatsu, all custom (Seemingly, at least.)

Wish I never played it so I could play it again from the start for the first time.

It definitely has some strong points, like the animation, attractive and cute art style, atmosphere, and mechanics such as spying through the phone, among other things

However, it lacks a cohesive story or direction—I have no idea where I’m heading or what the ultimate goal is. It feels like I’m simply watching the day-to-day lives of the MC and FMC
And the characters lack strong depth and personality. Their relationships aren’t profound but rather shallow and one-dimensional
----
I should also mention the non-consensual act at the beginning of the story:
Rape can also be enjoyable (I mean in games, not in reality) And in this game, it was quite hot; as the MC progressed through each stage, the bull reached new levels of sexual acts until he had an intense sex with the FMC However, it didn't leave a good memory

I believe 3 stars is a fair rating. A flawless game deserves the full 5 stars

I would rate this game 2 stars, and while there are aspects that deserve some recognition, the overall experience falls flat for me. The art style is undeniably appealing, and certain scenes are visually well-executed, contributing to moments that capture attention. Unfortunately, these strengths are not enough to compensate for the game’s major shortcomings.
The writing and character development are areas where the game struggles significantly. Despite being an NTR game, which inherently demands some plot structure to build the corruption process, I found the narrative to be lacking depth and substance. What was especially disheartening was reading multiple reviews that praised the writing, plot, and characters, only to be met with an experience that felt shallow and uninspired. The characters, rather than feeling authentic and multi-dimensional, came across as one-dimensional and lacking the complexity needed to engage players on an emotional level.
The disconnect between the positive reception and my own experience left me disappointed, as I had hoped for a story that would complement the visual appeal and keep me invested throughout. While the game may appeal to those who prioritize visual elements and certain intense scenes, those seeking a compelling plot and strong character development are likely to find it lacking.

A long and slow burn of a game, that allows a nice corruption progress (maybe too tedious to some) with a very satisfying CG to top each arc of advances from the "villain". The game regresses regulary because of a guilty conscience from the FMC but that allows for a more extended experience.

Really great potential in this game but there are a few very large problems with this game. Part 1 had a nice flow, there wasn't a terrible amount of dialogue and running around between sex scenes; however part 2 is very tedious. Mountains of dialogue between nothing exciting happening. My second issue with this game, is that the constant crashing makes it unplayable. It's a real shame too because the story is actually pretty good. This would likely be a 4-star game if not for the crashing issues.

Cool cheating game but ultimately unplayable due to constant crashes.

I'm loving the game so far. I've been playing since part 1, and this plus a couple other games are the only ones I play every update. I just finished part 2 .601, and I'm loving the direction of the current arc. The scenarios paired with the CG scenes are really sexy, and if you have a decent computer the CGs are fluid. Game can be a bit demanding on lower end PC's, but that is from the amount of content in each part. Looking forward to more.

This review covers the entirety of the part 1, which is what I've played thus far.

This game has one redeeming quality, which are the scenes, as everyone has said. Everything else is terrible.

Here's a non exhaustive list of issues and complaints:

Battles are extremely boring, lengthy while also being unlosable.
Battle skills have an unholy amount of flashing and ridiculous amount of sounds going on.
Scene replay is janky.
Scene transitions are janky and can break the game entirely if you're skipping dialogue or press the confirm key too many times.
The game crashes often (on map change, on battle change, on scene transition, you fucking name it)
There's a shitton of walking around just to get to places (map is sparse with not enough events to justify it and there's not much to do in it other than just be a walking simulator; no item system, no quest fetch system, nothing, just going from point A to B to view scene)
Some maps are coded wrong (I interacted with a clerk from the left instead of from the front and that softlocked my game)
Whoever is praising the story is either illiterate or deluded; all characters barely feel like themselves and they're all varying degrees of way too fucking stupid. Corruption is NOT slow, the guy gets a handjob on day 2. Come the fuck on.

How on earth this has five stars genuinely eludes me. This game is held together with duct tape and dreams. Probably more of the former than the latter, too.

this review is based on Part 2 v0.551 (October 29, 2024)

currently, I am giving it a 4/5.
the gfx is good, especially Part 2 onwards. the game mechanics is OK, the story is excellent.

i would have given it 5/5 but i am deducting a point for the following reasons:
a) game is unfinished, so some stuff feels hanging or broken. even Part 1 tends to crash reasonably often.
b) pace of the game can be a bit slow at times.

overall its well forth the time and one of the better titles in the NTR/cheating genre.

Note: this review is for part 1. This is a linear visual novel of a cheating (netorare) story based on the Sword Art Online anime.

The single strong point of the game (and admittedly it's very good indeed) are the sex scenes, the majority of which are well animated with fluid and smooth motion and have sounds and moans. The forte of this developer is clearly in this department and it shows; the game is worth checking out just because of this.

But every other element of the game is at best average to mediocre, if not outright dogshit.

The story is pure porn logic and dumb even by NTR standards. It reduces both Kirito and Asuna characters into bumbling idiots. There is too much unnecessary dialogue with side characters, and also scene for side characters that we don't even care about. To give credit, the very beginning points of the story is decent enough, but it quickly loses any immersive grasp due to character breaking progression.

The rpgmaker comes with the ever annoying unskippable overabundance of emoji bubbles. The rpg battles are just there, base level rpgmaker just to show the battle molestation, which are pleasing but underutilized its full potential. Actually, there is a lot of good potential with such setting of hyper virtual reality rpg, but the author doesn't do much with it beyond the basics which is frustrating.

It is also bad how for such a simple game, it crashed to desktop close to 10 times during a full playthrough, with frequent hiccups and freezes specially at the start of combat or when animations play, sometimes I had to force close the game and open it again to fix.

The save system annoyingly defaults and ruins the 5th save slot (seriously?). The original translation was bad and ruined the story even further, and the gallery was shoddly implemented, with many scenes missing and no title or descriptor for each scene. Modders had to come and fix both the translation and gallery.

So 4 stars for the neat sex scenes, but 2 stars for everything else: the dumb story, dialogue, suboptimal engine and tech issues.
Final rating (for part 1): 3 stars for the effort and animations alone.

It's an NTR game that's bloat maxing right now. The first part is tense a bit quick and ends with some ambiguity. The 2nd part picks up and pretty much kills the ending from the first game by turning the ugly bastard into a straight up rapist. After that it's kinda meandering with tons of content but it all happens inside the game for a good chunk and blowing any pacing and tension there could be. Also exploration got nerfed so it's pretty much a VN. I love the animations, but for me NTR is all about showing scenes then found out the tricky ways they happened. I'll keep playing it for the animations and to see what happens but everyone, including the cuck, are turning into degenerates so what's the point.

[Part 2 v0.551]
Interesting, but too much text and plot (for me)

-Story, Originality
You are a cuck... From anime...

-Renders
Cool Koikatsu 3D models and animations.

-Sound
Some sounds and h-sounds.

-Playability
A lot of walking, reading and fighting, but a little boring.

-Performance
Runs okay.

-Bugs
Gallery in 2nd part doesn't unlock everything.

-Animations
Developer used Koikatsu nicely.

-Voice Acting
H-sounds.

-Grammar
Didn't see any mistakes.

-Amount of content
A lot of content, but a little too much gameplay and too little h-stuff.

Like it, but it is too slow for an h-game.
