I disagree almost completely with most of what you said, NTRman is trying new things and from an artistic point of view i think is admirable that at least he is trying something a bit different, a VN with a simple survival day per day scavenging mechanic and rsc management at least gives something to do aside of just watching the cutscenes from the save files and uninstall the game later on. And the game is pretty easy at the end of the day. As far as my experience with managament and survival games go, TotD doesnt punish players for making few dumb choices and usually the "wrong" choices only lead to NTR scenes followed by a bad ending but im aware it can differ from person to person.
NTRman making vanilla sex scenes was already a thing he did several times previously, on top of that he added in this game reverse netorare scenes with several heroines, if you only care about the default type of Netorare, there are several paths in this game, still. If i have something to complain, that would be the lack of netorase and netori, not having a path where we can turn Minjee into a cuckquean is kinda dissapointing but thats on my personal preferences.
People dont watch hypnosis scenes because it makes sense, most of the time is due to the excitment of completely take the agency of a person and having it submitted, and dont get me started with its subgenres such as possesion, parasitism and personality excrection. There is also ways to work MC in a interesting way, sadly this isnt the case in this game and even worst NTRman didnt take advantage of this fetish to make creative H scenes and scenarios tho I aprecciate NTRman included some incest roleplay. He never had that as far im aware.
The problem with Minjee is even a meme at this point, she is basically every NTRman main heroine that is so weak to cock that turns into an idiotcockjunky in a nutshell. That being said I always thought Minjee wasnt innocent the beginning, she is just a very foolish and probably disloyal girl from the beginning, also the outbreak is probably making her more propense to commit such acts. She mentions she always fear Daeshin never comes back from scavenging, sometimes she feels useless and when she sees any other man she cant help but compare Daeshin with them, even Liam mentions she is basically a cheater. If you contrast her interactions with the police woman you can see a clear difference in character and why the police woman is number one best girl after Hyuna offcourse. Hyuna literally wants us to abandont Minjee.
Multiple paths add replayability to the game, is not weird for VNs to have mutiple paths, actually TotD is very small when it comes to paths and choices, other JPVNs have tons of paths and even crosspaths.
