Finally got around to playing this to see what all the hype was about, saw so many review alerts pop in and was surprised.
Definitely understand now. Wow what a fun little game so far. Solid setup chapters, and a great diverse cast with a mix of tropes and not-so tropes. Mix in some great writing and it punches above it weight class despite pretty buck-standard graphics and presentation.
Can't wait to see more. The whole tight knit group dynamic works really well. Yeah the MC is still a harem-god prototype and lal the girls are clearly interested in having sex with him, but the mixed relationships seem like they'll set up a lot of fun scenarios moving forward. Awesome job so far dev, a great example of why character, charm, and good designs for the cast can lift a game above expectations.
