Finally finished all the current content in this game and I have quite mixed feelings about this game. First shortly about the good stuff - the slow corruption style content is top notch, and all the 'risky' situations and implications and 'accidents' are really good and fun. All animations are really high quality too. I enjoyed all that a lot and this game would be in my personal top 3 if not for the bad parts.
Bad parts are mostly personal preference, and are kind of out of place in NTR game comments section, but it turns out that it is specifically this game that taught me that I don't like NTR. I used to think that I just don't care at all, and can easily play NTR games for corruption content, with all the good stuff that comes alongside it, for most of them I don't even remember whether they were NTR or not since I could easily ignore it.
Be it because I have watch the original anime some years back and liked the characters, or maybe it is this slow style I praised above that leaves more time to actually process whats happening is at fault, but in this game the betrayal part really bothers me a lot. For like more than a half of the game the feeling of betrayal was so strong it literally did all of following: a)made me not actually finish the deed I started the game for b) made me literally lose my appetite and skip dinner c) actually disrupted my sleep for multiple hours.
It seems a bit stupid that porn game can do that, but thats what happened to me in the middle part of this game. Now I do realise that this level of influence the game had on me can be counted as quite an achievement, and that probably exact same thing makes it a masterpiece for actual NTR enjoyers. But for me the lies and hypocricy were way too much, how better would it be for me if the risk element wasn't the infidelity, but some other stuff thats often used in corruption games, like social status, a quest of some kind, or anything else.
The second gripe I have is I believe a bit more objective (even though nothing can really be objective here). The event in later part of the game almost completely broke my interest in the plot. I am talking about the overwriting of memories in SAO recollection. I don't know whether anyone also views it like me, but for me this kind of really close to just replacing the character with another one, but just giving them the same face. It actually works just fine in a faster paced games, where characters are not too well-defined in the first place, but here it feels like it undermines and works against the good slow build up game had going up until then. I guess I can just consider this as a final-before-final, but still everything after that event, even if it is not a lot, feels much less interesting. Almost the same for me as if Fujino just removed Asuna and introduced someone else randomly. The good news for me is that it completely removed the betrayal feeling I complained about above, the bad news is that all slow corruption tension also disappeared completely and I don't feel like I care at all about what comes further. And I believe that was the main thing that made this game actually great.
I have some other minor complaints, like alice subplot is way too abrupt, and MC like always being unreasonably disabled in all social and sexual situations (while at hospital, dude really should have told the doctor that he loses his conciousness after every orgasm, that is actually a really worrying symptom), but those are basically sideplots issues and as such are not important really.
Sorry for this rant, but the conflicted emotions i feel about this game are too much to not express them at least somewhere.
