    It is a well written fantasy harem game. Although the textures and models are relatively low quality and you can see some clipping here and there the animations are good. Can't wait to see how the story develops. Btw there is A LOT of sex the MC is a real horny dog ;) When you read the tags you may already guessed it but it consists of mostly vanilla sex with a slight tendency to impregnation fetish

    I really like games with this type of design, that is, based on honey select, and the synopsis looks interesting. I only played the first part but I have things to say.

    THE GOOD
    There are a variety of characters (Waifus) with which the protagonist can interact, there are many changes of scenery, different arcs within the main story and above all the protagonist is not a chicken when it comes to wanting to fuck women, although this can be duty to the background of their environment.
    The female characters are fine, I mean there is variety in terms of personalities and physical characteristics. Above all the scenes, there are a considerable number of +18 scenes that are very good. However...

    THE BAD... or not?
    There is too much, too much, TOO much text between scenes +18. I mean, what I'm looking for in a +18 game is not just the scenes but a story that hooks me and that has the added bonus of being erotic or sexual. However, in this case, I ate word for word too many times, I did a calculation with a stopwatch, reading all the dialogues between the sexual scenes that there were and the highest range was 30 minutes of reading between those scenes and yes, there are certainly scenes + 18, but I feel like they are too short for the amount of text there is. There are even super unnecessary conversations that contribute nothing to the plot (I don't remember which ones now, I forgot them because they were so boring). It is excellent that the protagonist has the availability to be able to take any woman he wants and certainly there is a kind of route of a good person and a bad person but as for the protagonist, I do not feel malice, that is, I feel he is too righteous in terms of to moral values in a medieval pseudo-apocalyptic world. I mean the protagonist is told marry X woman and he gets too offended and then leaves her saying, I'm not getting married because I don't know her,
    when they once gave her a slave and after 5 minutes she already fucked her and DIDN'T EVEN KNOW HER!!

    In general the game is good, there are changes of scenery, interesting stories. but it's too much text for something +18. In that case, I better download a book and simply read it, because if there are sexual scenes and there are quite a few, let's say a 7:3 ratio in terms of text vs scenes. Particularly I'm not going to continue with part 2 because I really ate up too much text in this and if the scenes are too short I don't see the point in continuing.

    You can play it and have "fun", but be prepared for a large amount of dialogue.

    I want to make something clear, I read the reviews today 01/07/24 and I see that many people give 4-5 stars to this game, I'm going to give it 4 because it seems like something well made to me, BUT FROM MY POINT FROM VIEW, I go back and clarify and repeat FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, it seems like a game that tires you too much to a point where you skip dialogues to see those scenes. I personally do not recommend it if what you are looking for is something with an interesting story and a considerable amount of erotic scenes and +18. But if you are looking to read something long and don't pay too much attention to the sexual scenes, then this is your game.

    Summary (SCORE: 6)
    o Character Design/Visual: 7/10
    o Background music/sound: 8/10
    o Plot: 7/10
    o Animation: 8/10
    o +18 Scenes: 7/10
    o Gameplay: 3/10
    o Interface: 8/10

    Ratio between dialogues and scenes +18: 7:3

    I have to admit, it started off kind of rough but it gets a lot better as it goes. To begin with the downsides, the graphics, particularly the environments and lighting are ugly. They are very grainy, pixelated and there are a lot of errors with the rendering, like shadows appearing as squares and bugging out on some of the characters. Some of the backround art is indiscernible. The game also suffers from being one of the harem games where there are too many girls instead of focusing on the ones you have. In addition, a lot of the girls make it seem that you are some kind of hot stud but I really don't like the look of the MC. He looks... weird. His eyes in particular are really strange looking, like they are shaped in the wrong way for his face.
    Another big issue here is that this game seems to be more akin to a kinetic novel than a VN because you hardly make any choices at all. There are I think a total of like 5 choices you can make? Some of them are really minor and I don't even know if they have any effect on the story of the girls. It doesn't feel like you made a choice besides a few lines of dialogue, I dunno I don't like it. Addtionally, if you are here for the sex stuff then you might be dissapointed because it's pretty stock honey select models and sex scenes. Some of the girls look so identical to the others that I get them mixed up. Others are just... weird looking. There's also like 2 sex positions in the entire game that happen so its pretty tame and vanilla.
    Now that the bad is out of the way, what makes this game good? I have to say that the story hooked me in pretty good. The world that was built is pretty awesome. I like the fantasy setting with the hints of darker stuff, like the mold zombies and the bandits and such. I also like the setting and it gives a genuine reason for having a harem and why men are attracting bitches like a magnet. I won't spoil it but it's pretty interesting and makes sense. The only thing that I wish was better was that the story was implemented a bit better. You are kind of thrown into the world without knowing anything, and places, deities, events and so on are talked about as if you should know them, but of course you haven't learned about them yet. Some better worldbuilding, both in lore and in terms of scale of the world could help I think. Ultimately, if you want a sex game only then skip it. If you want a juicy story that I think is well written and interesting as well as some sex stuff then play it for sure. Thanks for reading my wall of text.

    Really enjoying this one particularly as the creator has put some thought into the look and character of the MC and he isnt the usual generic Honey Select one.

    Also a bit out of the norm in that the MC starts out in an established relationship

    Setting is a bit cliched, and the game does rush the relationships a bit, although at least the lack of men in the setting gives an excuse for that

    It's almost the AVN version of one of those Cosy Fantasy novels like Beware of Chicken that have become popular recently.

    This is an incredibly safe game, but that's not a bad thing. This game is the equivalent of sitting near a nice fire with a cup of your favorite hot beverage. The high fantasy setting is nice, the women are varied and distinct, and the MC is incredibly competent and sweet to his harem. Of course, he's ugly as sin, but you get used to it.
    I also appreciate how the harem system is explained by a curse. Not super original, I know, but it's better than 80% of porn protags who screw their way through entire households without slowing down. All in all, The Fiery Scion is a nice break from all the more hardcore games on this site. A cottage-core porn game in a way.

    The story is fine, nothing special, the plot pretty much just exists to give the MC an excuse to have a harem. My largest problem with the game is the sex scenes.

    There's way too little variety when it comes to animations and sex poses. The dev has decided on ~2-3 default HS animations and that is what you will see for every sex scene with the very occasional outlier. Every threesome is exactly the same pose, both girls side by side on their hands and knees. Definitely needs more variety for me to justify raising my score. The Honey Select 1 default animations became stale years ago.

    There's also no kinks aside from the very occasional lesbian scene. If you're a fan of sappy dialog and vanilla sex scenes, this one will be up your alley but it's not up mine. I find it kind of boring and end up just quickly clicking through every sex scene. It doesn't help that the characters I'm interested in are the ones that haven't gotten development.

    For a game lacking the kinetic novel tag, there is little to no player agency in this game. You can count the total number of choices on one hand and they have little to no effect on the game. This is the biggest reason for my low rating. I'm not expecting or wanting a hundred different branches in a non-kinetic game, but I do expect some control over the story. This is basically a poorly disguised kinetic novel. You have zero control over any aspect of the game aside from very occasionally avoiding a sex scene with a side character (most you can't avoid, btw, which makes me believe the options only exist to keep the kinetic tag off the game.)

    The Fiery Scion [Update 11c]

    I repeat what I said in the thread.

    Really good harem game. MC looks a bit unusual but in the end I don't care about that.

    What I care about is harem MCs that is a man but gentle and kind in nature.
    I really enjoyed that. A good harem MC is rare.
    The dev really nailed it here.
    The story is good too and I can't wait for more.
    A lot of beautiful women too and a lot of sex with them.

    I liked to humor too, a game that can make me laugh is rare.

    A must play for every fan of harem.

    Love the game, fun and engaging story which keeps me wanting more. The sex is an excellent cherry on top.

    Good renders and animations
    No major bugs encountered so far
    Fantastic level of content even if I do wish for more :p

    [Review at Update 11c]
    This game checks all the marks of a great game, you just know a game is crazy when even the plot of a eroge game is extremely good, this game puts 99% of the games in the pregancy tag to shame

    Looking forward for more content

    This is another game that would benefit from a half star system because while the game is competent (it runs) I would still put it below average.

    you will like this game if:
    you want your wish fulfillment to feature medieval visuals (without many fantasy races) in average (at the best of times) HS graphics

    you want your relationships to be "Meet Girl plot makes girl love you" and all the sex scenes to have no tension (MC will do whatever he wants whenever and if he likes a girl he "cant have" the plot will add new details allowing it

    you want your adventures/fights to be "MC uses 1 spell party each uses 1 spell or attack" then come across months/a year(?) worth of pay (+ an illogical amount for the contract)

    Further in the English deteriorates to the point that it can be harder for a native speaker to read than someone less fluent

    I guess this game will have more nasty HS baby models than most in the future (which I assume is a positive?)

    For Update 11c

    Well, I don't rate too many stories/games on here for personal reasons, but I felt the need to finally rate this "Story" . (As I feel it's more of a story than "Game")

    It has decent animations and stills.

    It's fairly linear which is something I like really.

    There's choices but I feel they are there to give some people a little bit of a feeling of involvement, more-so.

    Honey Select characters, which is fine, but loses a star because of it. (Sorry)

    I find the story fairly interesting.

    Lots of intimate scenes so it feels like it belongs on this site for sure.

    The updates seem to be fairly consistent with a decent amount of content with each.

    Has some humor.

    I enjoy magic and battles and this has that so that's why it gets 4 stars (y)
    If you enjoy that as well, I would definitely say to try this.

    Anyway, I will follow this to see how it goes.

    Cheers Everyone

    Even though I just checked it out because I'm fond of Magic Fantasy it's really good. Some parts are fast but as you hear about the world you understand why. The story is slowly starting to ramp up and after reading about what the dev has been up to about the game I'm looking forward to more.

    It's a harem game with an emphasis on breeding. However, the dev has spent some effort on world building that allows for decent characters and story, even when the MC impregnates (almost) every worthy female he comes across. While relationships are forced, it didn't bother me, since they all felt appropriate to the story, but pickier players might be bothered by the lack of choice in this regard. There are other choices in the game, although it's hard to say how much of an effect these will have, but thus far they have given the feeling of having some agency in who the MC is even if the breeding isn't avoidable.

    The writing is decent and while there are lots of characters, they all have some personality. The world and story are also interesting. The only thing that drags this down from 5 stars is the graphical solution. But even there, the dev uses the limited engine quite well to tell the story and present the characters.

    If the writing stays consistent or even improves, I'll keep playing regardless of the graphics, and it might be a very smart choice to first concentrate on the story and then do a graphics remake if there seems to be a bigger audience to be gained. Right now the consistent and decently sized updates might be more important than trying to enhance the graphics which might mess the workflow. If the end result cashes in all the potential, this might be 5 star regardless of the graphics.

    Started this game for the h scenes but actually found myself getting more and more into the story. I look forward to see what happens next I hope I don't have to wait to long. The only thing I wish they would add to this is sounds during the H scenes.

    love the game.

    I kept wanting to rate it slightly lower due to some of the tech concerns, such as:
    • the clonky, chunky renders
    • the occasionally not so great English
    • some of the OK but not fantastic animation work
    ...but I can't in good conscience rate it below a 5, because:
    • the character development, even for newly introduced characters is fun and interesting
    • the repopulation fetish is strong and pervasive in this one
    • the story is good enough, with just enough there may be something else going on here vibes to keep me, well... wanting more when I hit end-of-content, and being pleasantly surprised every time I see that there's new content that I want to download and devour immediately...
    • which is quite often, actually. the release cadence is fairly swift.
    so, yeah - actually one of my favorite games on F95 right now.

    One of my favorite games. Great lore, a great variety of LIs & people of various races & builds. Great story. I always want to know what happens next. The MC forms an adventurer's party that he goes on missions with, familiarizing himself with the world around him after he left a wizard's tower he was locked inside of until the beginning of the game.

    Ok so while the renders are typical Ren'Py, the girls are cute and the animations are really good...the main reason i love this game so much is the writing. Loving the story so far. Oh and love the short stacks and the petites cannot wait for more. Awesome game!! :love:

    Pleasently suprised with playing this game.

    First off this game is or at least in my opinion is very heavy on the dialogue and it's world building which can be a let down to some but if you enjoy reading and it's about an interesting setting then this is a game for you.

    The game so far at Update 8b is fairly straightforward with the player not having a lot of choices to make and the one's we are given I am unsure of how big of an impact they actually have in the game since I didn't replay the game to test the differences. A large part of that is because of the game being very linear the game size so far is very big which is honestly a good thing in my opinion since a lot of games on here instead opts to add a ton of choices to the players but in turn the gameplay is often times cut very short or the development time is very long because each time they add a new part that part has to be made 3-5 on average to incorporate all the different choices the player has made.

    Lastly while I do want the MC to bang most of the characters in the game, and I am hoping that a certain milf (and maybe another widow) will get the love and attention she deserves which her hubby can't give her. I really appreciate that the MC is actually someone fairly mature that doesn't just think with his D, though to be fair he does that a lot too but my point is there are actually women he's not putting his D in directly and actually seem to respect other male characters.

    Didn't wanna talk to much about the game and it's story since it's pretty much the meat and bones here but I am looking forward to what will come out of this game.

    The story is engaging and well crafted. My only complaint is that there are a few grammatical and spelling errors, but not enough to take away from the quality storytelling. The characters are well written and believable.

    ------------------------------
    Avg: 5.43/10

    Before I start my playthrough, all I remember about this story is my comments getting attacked in the forums. This story puts the ugliest MC in an isolated bubble, being the only man with a working penis in a 40 mile radius. His ego inflates immediately, and acts like a spoiled child when told no or asked to marry a princess he's already attracted to. He was rescued as a child, you'd think he'd be humbled and patient, but no. As soon as he's told, and I'm not making this up, that he can't cum inside all the maids because a waning lord's home can't afford to hire new help due to mass maternity leave, he actively whines about it. And not only does no one say anything to him, they backpeddle and coddle him. This is absurd, and screams incel. This weird "I'm an alpha male, but only by default, now give me chicken tendies" type person and I just do not like any of the dialogue. At least anything pertaining to sex or intimacy. In an AVN... That's unfotunate. It has this feeling of screaming "I have to be dominant at all times and if I'm not you're undermining my masculinity and I'm going to cry about it." I really could go on for a long time about the inferiority complex the MC has, but I do have to point out good things too. Like the world building. I think the world and lore is written very well. It does have an air of believability about it. I honestly think that if the MC was written better, and the English was written by someone that speaks English, this would be one of my favorites on this site.

    On to the plot establishment. MC was locked in a tower to control his powers for 13 years. He, being an orphan, wants to start a family with his fiance and daughter. (But also has a serious impregnation fetish that actually negatively impacts the dialogue and story)There was a curse that made it so men are scarce and and it will be easy for him to have any woman he wants. Even though his face looks like overcooked bacon dragged across sandpaper. Bro says he's 25 but doesn't look a day younger than 60. Yikes. And his character flaws manifest immediately. In the intro, he asks about Karla, the fiance, and Athagan says "Once we get back, we'll contact her." And MC, in his usual fashion, says "NO LETS DO IT NOW." And, get used to this as well, Athagan rolls over and gives him what he wants. So much of the intro is just MC getting reward after reward for just existing, and it goes on forever. Everyone tells MC his brick wall of a face is attractive, it's a little laughable. It gets to the point I want to believe MC is having a fever dream the whole game about a better life outside of the tower. But let's be real, having a joke ending like that is wishful thinking. I'm not exactly sure about what the size of each update is, but the early game cements my distaste of MC's personality when he learns about the orphanage's money trouble. His face contorts in pure rage as something that isn't to his liking happens. He storms off to yell at daddy dearest. When he gets there, Athagan asks if his issue is urgent, MC admits it's not but he'll throw a fit if he's not heard immediately. I want to say, the idealism isn't lost on me, but the way MC handles everything is in poor taste and he always comes across as a man-baby. And the problem is solved by coincidence so it feels a little cheap.

    The next bit of story is a little boring, MC forming his party. Avila's shopping spree, meeting Kes, Erika, and Monica is a lot of idle pleasantries. While I hope it's just to rush it out of the way for better story later, as per usual, it all just falls into MC's lap so easily. Hell, even a god intervenes to give MC a party member. That is instantly in love with him, mind you. I shouldn't have to tell anyone how tired of "instantly in love with MC" I am. I will say, the only almost funny part in the story is in the tavern when MC scares everyone with fire. Then the first of many bath scenes... Liliana reprimands her daughter for being self conscious and not show her body? It becomes an active argument, it's ridiculous. I understand the situation, there aren't many men so have lots of sex. But actively punishing someone for being reserved is stupid. Leading up to "awarding" Avila to MC because he exists? Never mind the fact this EXACT SITUATION happens again with the princess later only for MC to throw a hissy fit. Anyway, this section leads up to the party's first mission. They perfectly know where the bad guy is and catch him trying to assault another slave to add to MC's numbers after they beat the guy in three hits. Could have been interesting, could have been a tough battle, could have not also had them rewarded with the stuff the bad guy was gonna steal. But no. As per usual, MC can't work for anything. And then rewarded with more sex. I don't understand the MC either, he hates when women are sexually forward but that's all Karla is, and anyone but him making a sexual comment turns him off, but somehow he also loves it when they do? There's no consistency and it's frankly annoying. Do you see how I mean the MC is written poorly?

    Eventually, you move onto Karla showing up. You get a semi-emotional reunion with Karla and Maria, I'll give it that. But Karla is the horny brain insert, never mind almost every other character doing it as well. Anyway, this point in the story is boring "Everything we said we were gonna do, we're doing now. So walk set piece to set piece, establishing what? That Karla is here? That was already said. All this leads to the second mission and the queen's visit. Second mission? MC knocked out and problem solved with him blacked out. And he brought a slave to get pandered with sex. Because god forbid there's more than 10 minutes without nudity. Then Aoife, the poorly named servant, threatens her best friend with actual death because she said "Stop hamming it up" as they had sex in front of everyone. It's honestly ridiculous. And even this far into the game it still zooms into MC's dick, I just don't get it. And Monica's entire "arc" is MC is the only decent man for miles and MC thinks she's hot. Cool. Leading to the queen scene... "I don't like being told what to do" and "JUST BECAUSE I WANT TO HAVE SEX AND ALWAYS WANT TO HAVE SEX DOESN'T MEAN I'LL HAVE SEX AT THE DROP OF A HAT." He's a spoiled brat with the face of 60 year old, give me a break. He has certain responsibilities now being the son of a lord, and its absolutely stupid after him talking about the declining birthrates not two nights prior. Marry the damn princess you stupid man-child. Men would be a commodity so fuck his temper tantrum. Both of them. As he yells at Sarah too just out of association. And the brain dead take that "She was mind controlled and his reaction was justified" is just that. Brain dead.

    Its also around that point the English completely falls apart. The early bits of the story, I almost thought that there wasn't English issues. But my god, it becomes almost taxing to read. And eventually a woman tells MC no, something he said he'd never disrespect, and does the typical rapey "Oh.. A challenge." Just absolute slop. And its from here on out I just mentally check out. Nothing feels important, repeating information over an over everyone's naked most of the time, and anything serious is overshadowed by MC's horny brain or just plain putting it off until they can actually come up with details. And through the games MC, a person in power, shows favoritism to contestants. He literally does everything you shouldn't. And they watch the fights... But only see Cinthia at the end? That's not how tournaments work. Then another mission and MC is naked the whole fucking time. My god. I can't take it, there is no logical reason for them to have gotten naked, had sex, or stayed naked. Is it supposed to be funny? Because the one joke of this VN already happened, it fell flat. Virus outbreak, more nudity, MC uses his position to coerce Estrid just like he said he wouldn't. I'm not surprised or interested at this point, so all I'm gonna do is summarize and be done with this for my own sanity.

    The English struggles. I think it sort of gets better closer to end of content, but I was honestly checked out and just noticed less. The UI is almost great. Names desperately need a black outline. The entire world and all the clothes are light brown. And the name of MC and all either no name characters are light beige and you can't see who's talking half the time. Otherwise, thank you for making a custom UI. The UX is fine, standard renpy bunch of non choices though. The art is fine, not the best honey select and looking at MC's neanderthal face is a lot to take in. The dialogue is almost great. WHEN IT'S NOT ABOUT SEX. But there's a lot of that in this. Listening to MC ogle the women and the skin crawling sex talk is not fun. The story is good, I like it, I wish the story took more precedence in this. But I think I made it clear why I don't like this. sue me.
