one of the many things that made ToN great was the gameplay and the puzzles. That's how you feel like you're walking in the shoes of the MC. In fact, I would say NLT should do more of that and reduce sexual frequency to make the sexual encounters more meaningful and exciting. Otherwise one might as well just watch a movie or porn, jack off and be done with it. I get your preference though.

i don't want a porn movie or show for sure, I don't mind decent pacing if it's done well and the sex scenes don't feel unnecessarily dragged out or too far apart but yeah I don't want a sex scene every 5 minutes... Either way the game Is likely awesome for those who enjoy those aspects like sandbox and exploration, for me it's one of those things I just can't tolerate, the shit bugs the crap out of me like a fly that won't leave you alone on a hot summer day.
So sadly the sandbox stuff kills almost any game for me, the only sandbox game I was ever and am ever able to enjoy is Desert Stalker because the sandbox elements in that game isn't actually exploration, it's just your house that has like 6-7 rooms total and a World Map but in that world map or house there is no exploration or puzzles, you just select a location with a Quest Marker on it and it plays like a regular VN, the the 6-7 rooms and world map primarily serve as a way to reply certain repeatable scenes, they feel more like a video game loading screen than any sandbox exploration
