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

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!

One of the best interactive novels with a focus of transformation on the site. A must play if a fan of either goblin or transformation games.
I hope the developer makes more games like this one, and their other game X-Change life also goes well.

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.

Review of [CYOA v1.0]

It is a very nice game. I definitely would recommend it for anyone, considering it.

It is very easy to try as it is available online and is offered completely for free by the author.

The writing is top notch, it is based on a book by the author. The amount of content is large, especially if you are going to read every paragraph.

Personally I tend to skip a section here or there. I would love it if the dialogue was indicated in a different color, to better break up the somewhat long stretches of text. That would make it easier for lazy readers like myself. For some reason I find the dialogue to be more essential than the rest. If the dialogue is good that will motivate me to read the other content . The Good Son is a game that does this really well, I think, with different colors being used by different characters.

The graphics are actually pretty good, although there are no animations. It is mostly Daz3D renders that are well done, mixed with a few 2D art images. Personally I don't mind the mix, although I would definitely appreciate more renders.

Compared to the other game by the author, X-Change Life, this game has quite a bit of reading and not a lot of clicking. Whereas X-Change Life has quite a lot of clicking. I think the ideal balance is somewhere in-between? X-Change Life is more of a sandbox style game, which lends itself well to replayability, but is probably a lot of work to create and ultimately also gets tedious to play.

There is a sound element to the game as well, both with background music and some dialogue. This element is top notch and way above the average RenPy game. As with the graphics, I would appreciate more of this as well, but how much can you ask for with a completely free game? .

The topic of the game is ideal for a fantasy / game world, as it goes way beyond anything that would be feasible to do with live-action. For anyone into the topic I would recommend checking out Goblin Cave by Sana.

At the end of the day, this is a massive achievement by a small team that deserves a ton of praise and recommendation.

Imho one of the best/better html games I have seen.

A combination of story/stat/rpg elements, dark fantasy, corruption plot is good. Art and sounds adds up a lot to the game value. Note that some scenes do not really have images/visualization.

The only reason I am not setting five stars, is that the game is really straightforward visual novel, your choices apart from leading to bad end/replay don't feel like they really matter or do anything.

It is an adaptation of a book, and as such even if you make seemingly different choices you don't get different chapters or scenes. It only gives you an illusion of choice.

The game is missing some sandbox elements. The art is also inconsistent sometimes it is really good, sometimes it is god damn awful, sometimes it is non-existent.

But with a good art and good story, and a bit more fleshed out gameplay there is certainly a lot of potential in future games.

Its not in my normal fetish range but overall I had fun with this game. I guess if I be picky, its a bit verbose at times and more graphics would be really great but I liked it far more than most HTML games

Great writing, great story, the perfect amount of degeneracy for a "goblin" tale. The game is a perfect size for what it is, but of course when something's this good, you can't help but want more. Would love to see what "Aldric" gets into next

So its been like 4 - 5 years since I gave a review but man this game deserved my time to give an astounding recommendation.

But let's get the bad stuff out of the way:

TGP is most probably not in the general public's liking due to:

1) Predominantly this is erotical literature. Hence the 300k word content. While certain sexual content are enhanced with images. It is in comparison too little and not what gamers are used to.
2) There are heavy transformation ,NTR and forced content. Again not the general public preferences in kinks.
3) There are a few branches but for CYOA context, it can feel a bit limited.

Now for the good stuff:

TGP is an enthralling journey into the depths of passion and intimacy forced transformation - both physically and mental struggles were portrayed very well . From the very first few chapters, the story captivates with its rich, evocative language and deeply developed characters of Tit Bitch and Snib. The chemistry between these two is palpable, making their encounters not only steamy but also emotionally resonant.

The narrative is well-paced, balancing the erotic elements with a compelling plot that keeps you invested in MC's journeys.

One of the standout aspects of this story is the depth of the MC. Most html game goes straight into sex and zero plot development. However Tit bitch is not just a vessel for erotic scenes but a fully realized human with her own history, motivation, and more importantly - vulnerabilities. This makes her intimate moments sex scenes feel authentic and earned, rather than gratuitous.

The author's attention to detail is impeccable, enhancing the sensory experience for the reader. Each scene is described with a delicate touch, making the reader feel every whisper, touch, and glance. This immersive quality sets TGP apart from many other HTML games.

Overall, this is a well crafted reading game that will appeal to readers looking for a blend of romance intense, forceful and erotica content.

PS-This would be 5 stars if there were a bit more supporting images for all of the sex content.
