VN - HTML - Completed - The Goblin's Pet [CYOA v1.0] [Aphrodite]

The best corruption work I've ever played. Not just the story, but the writing, the minute-to-minute depictions of the MC's thoughts and feelings, the care and craftsmanship put into the world building, all of it was phenomenal. This is a masterpiece for corruption fans, especially those that like gender-change works.

I also really liked the use of the images. Even though a good chunk are AI, they are still well edited to generally fit the scenes they are crafted for. I know a lot of folks revolt against AI, but its use here is exactly what it should be used for, enhancing an already great work by helping the reader connect more deeply with the world the author has created.

Even though there is a remaster on the way, it's still worth diving into this version in the meantime. There is no shortage of content, and it's such a great story that must be experienced. Highly recommend!

The review below mine mentions some repetitive text and lack of choices as valid criticisms. Whether AI is used in the writing here, it's difficult to tell, as they openly used AI on a good number of the images used. With how easy it is to utilize AI in writing, I wouldn't put it past them.

However, what we have here is in my opinion, a very fun ride, with some very pretty language, mixed with some repetitive writing at times. But as a writer myself, those bits feel believable as something coming from a man, not AI.

This story presents corruption scenarios over and over, where the hero(ine?) is subject to corrupting pleasure time and again, that's what we're here for really. So that in itself is a pattern that we want and expect, and the character often repeats the sentiment of "oh, that feels good, but it shouldn't". I don't know how you really get past that, as a writer, without writing that same thing in some variation over and over, and that challenge shows up here in the fact that it feels repetitive. But that inner monologue of corruption is necessary, and quite hot if it appeals to you, and for as many of those musings that I skimmed over, there were still others that I read word for word to immerse myself in the story.

There is sound and imagery to accompany this story, but the focus without a doubt is on the actual text. I am very thankful for the images, however, as I found the MC to be incredibly hot, and that really helped my less-visual brain to play along. The sound is uh...especially in the beginning, quite offputting lol. But it's kinda fun too, so I still tried to listen to it. Volume seemed a little low.

I think the interactivity of the whole thing is pretty well done. At the end of the day, this is like your run of the mill "story with choices" mainstream game, where there are choices, yes, but really there's just one main story, and you might deviate a bit. This one probably railroads you a bit more by the end, there's one really distinct failure ending and one true ending.

But the choices that are there really play into the role-playing of the story, deciding whether you want to rebel or submit throughout, while not necessarily altering the trajectory, alters a significant amount of dialogue and point systems to make you FEEL like you have some agency. I think it was very well done for the way the story is set up.

This is not a sandbox, freeform adventure.

Serviceable, but it's easy to tell that "300k word count" is just redundant and highly repetitive text, probably partly written by an AI. Oftentimes, you'll see several paragraphs of the same descriptions one after the other spelled using slightly different or rearranged words. Your "choices", as some reviewers already mentioned, don't matter much. There's no real CYOA here, just a smut novel with a bit of branching. In-world logic suffers, too. I mean, it's hard to suspend your disbelief when the main character is this renowned hero, but nobody seemingly gives a single damn about his predicament, even when presented with proof that a literal eldritch horror is wrapped around his neck. Hell, he can't even withdraw money from his bank account, despite his wife being there and then they just give up on the idea instead of contacting authorities of the town or something to clear up the situation. It's honestly pretty retarded, even for a story about filthy, smegma-cacked goblins.

CYOA v1.0

By far one of the best genderbent corruption games i have ever played on this website. The story is superbly crafted, with interesting characters and outcomes. You can tell the dev(s) had put a large and loving amount of effort into crafting this 4~ hours of steaming delight to drop into our laps.

The only minor negative that i think this game suffers from is the slightly lacking amount of content. Make no mistake, this game is great from start to finish. But it could have been greater even if it slowed down a bit and allowed the players to venture into more sub-brances of content and had a bit more variety to the endings you could receive.

Besides that, all other parts of the game could at least be described as good and well made. I would highly recommend you to download and play through this game if you like corruption even remotely close to the concept of “liking”.

This game obviously had so much work put into it! The length, girth, and turgidity of the story was quite amazing. It really encourages multiple playthroughs to see the changes to the story...and to the protagonist. MtF is one of my favorite kinks so I enjoyed that aspect, and the corruption is really well done. This, I think, is a prime example of how to do an erotic visual novel. Bravo!

Well written, engaging, and worth multiple playing more than once. Certainly worth it if some of these tags interest you. It would be great to see more of this author's works "gamified" like this one!

Somtheing so satisfyingly seductive about scripts slathered with slutty specificities that it sends shivers slithering down the spine.

Honestly, well done on this one. I'm not typically one for transformation content but the highly descriptive depravity was just too good to resist. Other than tf, it ticked all the boxes for me, barring a few minor changes I would have preferred from a story perspective. Mostly in the form of how the corruption is handled. I prefer my corruption themes to have a slower burn, like what we see in the pre-sex chapters. All in all, it's been great enough for a few re-reads and I really hope a sequel is in the works. Well done!

So when the title says, "A slightly interactive novel" they should really be putting the word "slightly" in bold, because the only real interactions you have any control over is how aggressively you turn into a slut.

This is not a CYOA, because that would imply that your choices actually matter and that there are significantly different storylines based on your choices, but after checking and double checking every choice that SHOULD have been significant, I can confidently say that there is nothing here but the story that the creator wants to tell, which is a shame considering the developer's other work is one of my all time favorites.

You will be turned into a woman, you will be turned into a slut, you will not escape the situation, and at best you will have to read through way too many descriptions of smegma to want to even want to think about it unless you're really into disgusting content such as watersports, forced abortion, rape, and being a cuck solely because there is literally no other choice.

Not my cup of tea in the slightest and that's not even mentioning the fact that ai assets are all over the place here from the writing not being coherent (seriously, just skim through most of the text, otherwise you'll get a headache) to every single image in the game being "enhanced" with ai.
Really this is why it should be an ai assets tag and not an ai cg tag.

Play the dev's other game, but give this one a hard pass unless you are really into being railroaded in multiple meanings of the word.

Wow this actually blew me away, I was really surprised how amazingly written this was and how much of a story there really ended up being. Don't get me wrong it is pretty generic fantasy vibes but the emotionality of the NTR genre really boosted the weight of the story and its consequences. I'm extremely eager for whatever the author does next, this seems very promising.

GREAT USE OF AI!
Artificial Intelligence is close to creating perfect NSFW art, but not quite there yet. But it can definitely enhance human-made content, even if it is 3d models.

5/5 stars

If you don't like MtF transformation you probably won't get much out of this

However if you do.. It's one of the best games in this space

Firstly this is mostly just a novel, but there's JUST enough images and JUST enough choice to game-ify it. There's a bare bones avatar and character screen to give JUST enough context to make it seem like a game

And that's what really makes the MtF piece of this extra lewd, is that it's written viscerally, really well, from the POV of the MtF transformation victim/slave. It's long.. but written well. I did speed read especially towards the end but it's good.

I really enjoyed the pacing in terms of the erotic descent. Author really understands that it's not about getting P in the V as quickly as possible, in fact it takes forever to get there.. Instead the author lingers far more on steps and stages of corruption and degradation and examines each piece. And without giving anything away, has a fine way of essentially doing the MtF transformation story twice in one story due to good plotting..

Am I crazy, or is this writing really bad? I made it 4 chapters in before I had to drop it. Descriptions feel nonsensical and are often endlessly repetitious or downright contradictory. It all looks like English, but it doesn't flow well from one paragraph to the next or even just between sentences. There's no logic to what happens within scenes, either.

For instance, in the prologue the protagonist and his wife wake up, have sex, then the wife starts making breakfast and asks her husband "so what did you do today?". He answers her like he got home after a day's work, even though it's morning and they've been together the entire time. Later on in the story all the goblins live in a cave, except for the one goblin who lived in the cave but also inexplicably has a hut somewhere else completely separate from all the other goblins? This is not questioned by anybody and there is no discussion about other goblin's dwellings. Maybe that's explained further on, I don't know. There are a lot of little issues like that I had glossed over while reading at first.

There's spatial reasoning and character issues as well. One instance before I dropped it was a scene that involved There were other examples earlier on but I can't remember them and I won't be going back to re-check.

Every other page insists that something is a testament to something else. The whole game feels like somebody instructed ChatGPT "write a description of boobs and be fancy about it" then slapped the output into a twine game without any proofreading.

From a design standpoint, this game seems fine and dandy. It runs on anything, it looks nice, it's got a little secrets system. Chapter progression being your save points is alright. There's BGM and occasional voices. Though 4 chapters in and only the goblin is voiced, for some reason? I don't know why you'd want to listen to the goblin, but it's all or nothing - no turning off just the goblin voice and keeping the other sounds.

There's a good concept here, but it's wasted in my opinion. Unfortunately this game instead stands as a testament to why you shouldn't rely so heavily on AI to write everything.

Literally one of the best games in its genre. The plot is great, the graphic design is just amazing. The only thing that bothers me is the pictures, as if they don't quite fit. But an amazing job has been done, I hope the author will still return to such crafts, in isolation from the main game.

It is good for it's genre but it is not for everyone. When it gets dark toward the end it gets real damn dark. There is cucking . OOF.
There only seems to be one major ending with a few shorter 'bad ends'. Art is fine.

I loved every bit of the story and am excited to read a continuation if you decide to do so! Sadly, I am not great at giving constructive criticism. I just wanted to express how much I enjoyed this story!

I don't expect realism, but I need plausibility. Unfortunately the AI writing got so much plot loopholes, it's too swollen, repetitive and unerotic soft porn.
With some chat bot experience I saw too many problems immediately and quit reading before the first heroine sex scene.

+ some mechanics and decisions (hidden gems, replay ability)
+ imp kink <3
+ high quality sounds
+ polished game
+ polished spelling
+ fantasy world
+ a lot of lore

- AI writing (too much unnecessary, complicated, swollen information)
- AI plot holes
- Eroticism is completely missing
- sex scenes without pornographic descriptions
- predefined names
- quality of AI art varies heavily

The plot, the story, the kinks grade A. However, the thing this novel really needs is more illustrations. I can get off to text alone but it's never as good as some solid imagery. I've yet to go through the entire story only just getting to chapter 11. I feel at this point I can safely say this shit needs more illustrations. DONATE FOR A REBOOT.

This "Slightly" interactive novel will make you love it. It will make you hate it. It excellently manipulates a story around addiction and magic compulsion.

Warning though, there's quite a bit of NTR going on here, but at least you aren't forced to do gay stuff as a dude. Choice matters!

The story is gripping and takes you on both an adventure and an emotional rollercoaster.

There is the illusion of a choose-your-own-adventure game because choices that would veer too far off the main storyline are met with bad ends. But having played X-change life, I understand that the author's main interest is transformation and that it's the central theme of this game. And of course there's a limit to how many branches an author can write for a detailed story of this length. The game is far from kinetic and your choices dictate major aspects of the story, as well as the ending.

In conclusion, it's a brilliant story well worth reading and strikes a good balance between interactivity and reading. In terms of art, the game has some drawings but it's mostly renders. I would have preferred more drawings, but that's just personal preference. The renders are very well done.

Highly recommended.

Slightly Interactive Novel is an accurate summary, it's clear that there is a main path, and any deviation from that path either loops back to the main path or ends abruptly. This isn't my favorite type of design, but credit to the author for being forthcoming about it.

It accomplishes what it's trying to do, so I give it 5 stars. Their pipeline of regenerating 3D renders with AI works really well. I normally avoid 3D render games due to that dead uncanny feeling, but the AI layer somehow makes it feel more full of life. It's almost photorealistic barring the exaggerated proportions.

The writing is great, you get a good sense of every character. There are some moments where the story goes in a direction that I'm not a fan of, but that's just a preference thing. There's a lot of story to get into, and the world feels believable. It did a good job trying to build tension. It doesn't escalate too fast, but it also isn't brutally slow.

The audio is fine, I never felt a desire to turn it off. Sometimes it helped immersion, sometimes it was a little distracting. But it was never outright bad.
