Yeah, I mentioned the main issues were where the game expects you or you might feel the need to walk back through multiple rooms. Christmas event has you pass a whole level and then there's no quick exit once you reach the end, and you have to backtrack through the enemies again. Adds nothing to the gameplay, the area is "complete" and there are a ton of ways to excuse having an exit near the elf's house back to the school. Next area was the tentacle area, when the MC makes it sound like you might have to backtrack through the tentacle area with her "Guess I should find another way" multiple times when she reaches a deadend. The whole school area has that issue a bit too, walk through a door for 2 seconds and all enemies respawn.
Really coulda used a respawn timer, or at least limited respawns a bit more in areas where you're expected to travel back and forth through rooms quickly. I could excuse just the school, but then it continuing into other areas with more obnoxious enemies, meh. If the gameplay was more engaging, it might have been fine. Sitting around and waiting for flies and shit to come towards you draws out the suffering even more. Some enemies can't safely be attacked from behind with the staff as well, so you have to wait for them to finish their pathing and turn around. Then there's the slow ass stamina regen. There's a difference between slow gameplay and repetitive slow/uninteresting gameplay. This edges into the latter with the pile up of everything being just a bit too slow, repetitive, and time consuming.
I wouldn't even mind a "slow" game from the dev, I just hope they can balance it better and make progression and the gameplay more impactful. This becomes a slog by around the tentacle area. To be clear, I don't think the gameplay is difficult either (It's way too easy/forgiving imo with the way you can just masturbate away your lewdness without health penalties), I was just practically falling asleep by that point and started rushing to try to stave off some of the bordem, lol.
Might have to actually bother to review this and point out more of its issues in detail, but I'd have to finish the game first. At least some reviewers know how to properly review a game and gave it around a 2-3, which is fair based on what I've seen so far. Maybe if I forget about how obnoxious it was I can come back to it later : p
