RPGM - Completed - TakenoteR [v1.0] [HNStudy]

Version Played: 1.0, Completed all content
Time Played: 3-5 hours
Gallery Mode: Yes
Walkthrough: No, but very easy to progress

This is a game that I followed from an early stage and followed from time to time via its updates.

Honestly, I'm not a huge fan of NTR (though I do love NTS, swinging and group), but what saves this from being just a dude depressingly getting cucked six ways from Sunday is the woman MC and humor. This humor isn't necessarily so much in the dialog, but rather the absurdity of situations the MC finds herself in that elicit a chuckle.

That said, the star of the show here is the art. While the style is very simple, I find the MC really hot and the situations she gets herself into steamy.

Positives
+ Charming art
+ Complete and relatively short!
+ Overall light-hearted story with plenty of hot sex

YMMV
= Even though the MC is a woman, if NTR is something that gets you raging, you're gonna want to steer clear
= There some old man stuff, so if you don't like seeing nubile ladies with gross old dudes, that'll turn you off.
= Linear to the point of me wondering why this needed to be in RPGM as I don't think it adds anything to the experience

Negatives
- Non-native English so the dialog is very flat

So, overall, if you dig the art style and corruption with a side of NTR, you should have a pleasurable time with the game.
I'm looking forward to following this creator in the future!

Honestly more of a 3.5.

Note to creator: Thank you for the great work! I love your art style and am looking to see how it and your storytelling evolve in the future. I hope you can find a native English speaker to punch up your writing a bit to make it more enjoyable.

This game has absolutely amazing build up, and mid to near end game pay off.

The ending leaves much to be desired, but the path to it is just so satisfying that i cannot rate it lower.

Recommend playing this if you enjoy relatively fast paced corruption once it gets going. The walking around is part and parcel for RPGM sadly.

Okay this game is an unexpectedly one of the best couple-based NTRs right next to Bawdy Traditions. If you can get past the initial impressions and the horrible glitchy nature of it, this is an insanely good game.

• The main character is gorgeously drawn.
• The pacing is perfect. Not too fast and not too slow.
• Great corruption shown.
• Great formula that works for Netorare type that also has an element of voyeur.

Again the only cons so far is the glitchiness and the initial impressions. Based on the poster, you'd think that the game art was going to be bland and uninspired but there is just something about how the main character is drawn and how her thought process goes. Keep up the great works. Should make another one like this!

The game's overall presentation leaves much to be desired, starting with the artwork, which feels uninspired and lacks the charm or detail to engage the player. The story fares no better, as it’s almost nonexistent, offering little to no substance or emotional pull to keep the player invested.

The content itself is extremely minimal, with roughly half an hour of gameplay—if you can even call it that. There’s no meaningful gameplay mechanic to speak of, making the experience feel static and uninvolving. Adding to the frustration, the character's walking speed is painfully slow, and even minor adjustments could significantly reduce the time required to traverse the sparse "story."

What the game does offer is essentially a collection of poorly drawn scenes, more akin to a gallery than a dynamic experience. The scenes lack sufficient context, leaving them feeling disconnected and unimpactful. Moreover, the inability to skip dialogue is another glaring issue; if you've already read through it, you're forced to endure the same text again with no way to bypass it, which only adds to the tediousness.

In summary, the game struggles on multiple fronts—from its lackluster visuals and absent narrative depth to its flawed mechanics and limited content. While it may have potential with significant improvements, in its current state, it falls far short of providing an engaging or enjoyable experience.

Game would have been perfect, if it was ended differently.
But this game has many anal scenes, which we definitely lack in NTR works, and man all of them are really hot.
I really like the scenes, if this one had a voice acting it could be amazing.
So, it gets 5 stars for scenes, but I give 4 stars because of lack of voice acting, that really weak ending and super mini husband penis (seriously, even 10 years old boys penis is several times bigger than his).
I hope we will see more this kind of NTR games.

Great game, excellent art.

Overall its a corruption NTR, fetch/walk around type game, which I have no issues with since theyre faster.
It was a little frustrating to have scenes aaalmost get there but then stop.
I wish the game was longer and the ending more fleshed out, but still top quality!

A short CYOA-ish game with a lot of walking and limited options, but the old school Flash-style artwork and the decent into depravity the main character takes are very enjoyable. There are a few translation errors and being forced to take control of the male character is a chore most of the time, but overall it's worth playing if you like this type of content.

There is a lot wrong with this game. Most notably the basic RPGM implementation and the (thankfully small) sandbox without a quest log. At least there's no combat of any kind.

The story... well... it serves the purpose of the game. Don't expect too much. The ending is kinda great though, I admit.

Where this game shines though is the marvelous (and plentiful) art. It's worth 5 stars for that alone.

Just to be clear, this is basically a NTR/NTRS VN, so if that isn't your thing, stay away. Or... come crying about it here on F95zone!

Calling this a game is definitely a stretch, it's basically a glorified Visual Novel with a wandering mechanic and some hilarious translation errors (was spanish the first language, then it was translated into japanese? Or vice versa?). I do agree with others who have suggested that the ending seems rushed. Still, the art is clearly inspired by Jab comix, which is cool if that's your thing... in my case it is. So, 3/5 cuz i'm feeling generous, even with some bugs.

It's Soooo Boring and slow... the moments when you feel that it's going somewhere it's stop by an interuption and just doesn't do a good job to satisfy your desire to see more. I understand it's showing the slow corruption of the wife but it's just too slow and uneventfull.

I'm taking off a star for the lack of control in the narrative, especially towards the end of the game, where the
Having said that, I don't want to remove a star just because I don't personally enjoy the kinks displayed in the game (towards the end in particular), so I'm keeping it at 4 (again, for the lack of choice), despite how critical my review might sound ahead.

Format: This game really didn't need to be in RPGM, and should have just been an HTML or Renpy VN.

Content: I was really enjoying this one, but:

• It builds into a hardcore cuck story, rather than the keeping the hidden cheating corruption
• The corruption is too fast
• The actions of the characters (especially the wife) get malicious
• Tries too hard to justify the "cuck" mindset, making it feel less like a hentai game and more like a lecture on the kink after the halfway point

I'm biased, as I actually really hate cuckoldry, but enjoy hidden cheating. Cheating and NTR(cuck) have become interchangeable, despite being very different in execution. This aspect is made worse for me, as the husband is a decent man, who deserves better than what the story forces him through (even if he is a lousy lay.)

TLDR: In short, avoid this one if:

• You don't like it when the NTR turns into hardcore cuck content
• You don't like it when the cucked significant other is physically assaulted
• You don't like it when the protagonist becomes malicious in their cheating
• You don't like walking simulators/primarily fetch quest content in RPGM games

Poorly coded Game. Considering that it's a RPG maker, which already gives you so much to make a functional game without much hassle, somehow this game manages to bug out in the first 2 minutes. Already stuck at the beach. I could go lower than 1 star if it was a thing

Amazing game! There's not enough words to praise the art, a beatiful 2D with vibrant color, great volume and facials expressions that carries the feelings perfectly. Although the story is clichê, it's executed with maestry.

Truly one of my favorite cuck games!!!! I can not wait for the next thing this author develops (perhaps a prequel for Yeny). I love how in the end (spoiler) she has no remorse. I'd yield and just "believe her".

This is a good game, i enjoyed it, kinda surprising since i dont like the cuck theme, personal opinion not a criticism, i would perfer just a slutty/horny woman the husband doesnt add anything for me but thats a different game, and not a fair criticism for this one. with that said here are my thoughts on the rest of the game.

Story isnt that bad again not really my thing probably why i didnt enjoy the William parts but i do enjoy a good horny fuck the entire island story. wish more of the women got involve, like the receptionist or waitress, shit let the grandma join.

Gameplay is pretty bad, there no real reason for this to be a sandbox but on a positive note its a small sandbox. If the dev is listening, for your next game if you make is a sandbox please include a quest menu, even if its one quest, i stopped for a day and when i played next i forgot what to do and had to walk everywhere and talk to everyone. also some sort of hint system would be nice too, the game is not too complicated to need it just would be nice. Also the walk speed it too slow.

Art is fantastic reminds me of Jab (maybe there is a connection). One small complaint i have (and a lot of devs do this) if you give a character a giant dick show a bulge in the woman's throat or abdomen when they fuck other then that no real criticism of this but i will say i would have preferred some wilder scenes, i guess DP is nice but you can go farther.

This is an rpgm game done right. no grind, no clueless exploration of vast open worlds, very nice art style and animation and of course, lots of anal! great job! congrats for the finished game

How did this game slip under my radar for so long?
This game was absolutely fantastic from start to end.

Pros:
- the art is unique and hot asf
- the pacing is perfect, there's never too long between H scenes, very easy to get off to. But at the same time it doesn't rush the corruption aspect. (You can knock this game out in a few hours, so "rush" is relative).
- H scenes themselves are hot and abundant. I love the creative way that some the lewd scenarios are setup. Scenes are slightly animated with sound effects.
- Lots of anal. Seriously, there's way more anal than regular old vaginal scenes. That is a huge pro for anal fiends like myself.

Cons:
- To be very critical, perhaps a little too much time is spent from William's perspective. I know this is a cuck game but I just hated playing as that incompetent tool.
- The ending was... pretty mean. I would've liked to see an ending more in line with James' philosophy, but I guess William was too much of a possessive moron for that to ever happen.
- very minor grammatical errors and few pronoun mistakes. Not frequent enough to reduce the experience when you're used to some of the MTL travesties out there.

Easy 5/5. Don't think, just play.

Don't understand the high reviews and I expect the average score will come down.

It's a simple RPGMaker novel. Could've been done in Ren'py. The art is okay at best and the scenes are... uninspired. The writing is also odd, like it feels like there are two ending scenes are the bad translation makes it unclear how they're related. For the first one the husband discovers his wife's infidelity, then it switches context to I guess imply that this portion of the story was just part of the wife's novel. But then - unsurprising plot twist - it turns out that the wife was cheating and he discovers this anyways at the end. I'm not really sure what narrating things this way accomplished other than allowing for their to be two separate scenes of the husband discovering his wife. I wasn't sure if there was supposed to be some weird implication that actually the first ending was real and the husband simply had a mental break and suppressed his knowledge of his wife's infidelity.

Which gets to one important thing that annoyed me a bit - rather than just being a corruption/NTR story, by the end things leaned pretty heavily into focusing on building tension around the humiliation of the cuckold husband. So if you're looking for a story that heavily focuses on this sort of humiliation then I guess you'll be pleased with this game, but otherwise not so much.

Story : It's alright in a broad sense but it's really lacking, there no detail or depth to anything, everything that happens can be summed up easily in a couple sentences, I'm not expecting Hamlet from a NTR porn game but come on, work it a little bit, give more context
Gameplay : Essentially a kinetic novel, almost no choices to make and even then, they're very lackluster, you just go from objective to objective without anything to check in the map besides talking to NPC to get notes to unlock previous scenes in the gallery (which you fully unlock at the end of the game anyways )
Porn : Not much but for such a short game I guess it makes sense, still, the art itself is fine but for a NTR it's really lacking in both amount and variety and the epilogue is laughable, you would expect that returning to the resort might give you at very least a couple scenes, but no, you get one and the game ends, bummer
Overall, it's fine but it can be so much more, unfortunately, it's disappointing, I want to give it a 3 because it's not bad at all but there's no 2.5 stars and it tilts more to 2 stars, sorry

I don't understand the 5-star ratings and reviews for this game. I'm convinced they must be related to the poster somehow.

The art is bland and the story is nearly non-existent.

There's maybe half an hour of content here.

There's no gameplay whatsoever.

If you increased the walk speed of the character in the beginning of the "story" you could get that done in two minutes.

It's essentially a gallery (but really it's a novel!) of scenes that are poorly drawn and have very little context.

There's no skipping dialogue so good luck if you've read it already!

Seriously - five stars? The BEST a game could possibly be? BEST art? BEST story telling? BEST gameplay?
