    Very interesting!

    Very nice graphics.
    Very nice girls.
    Pretty good characterization.

    Very nice buildup.

    One peeve. I played the special as I heard that was where the first official creampie was.
    Given the buildup, I apologize @SpeedPostx . But the buildup gave me perhaps a little too much anticipation for how the penetration scenes and the creampies would be.

    I believe I've seen improvements in the game so I still have high hopes. I apoloize man, the awesome circumstances have lead to me expecting more overwhelming sex scenes plus creampies. I suppose I have been spoiled by some of the loads from timestamps, tftuv, (surprisingly) simple days, and others.
    I don't mean to be unreasonable. But yeah. Particularly when the MC was going to make Mrs. Claus his woman. Something about sex with the fire and drive to claim someone felt lacking in that scene. That felt like more domination than staking and marking ones claim.

    Good luck!

    This was a surprisingly good find. It hits all of my favorite kinks and with the exception of some light incest, there is hard to find fault... but it is far from perfect.

    The first problem is the number of LIs. There are just too many of them. The dev focuses on one and then when they switch, it takes forever to get back to the one you really want to follow. For me, I don't want to see more than 3 or 4. I don't like harem games much, but for me to be on board, we have to have to limit the numbers.

    The second problem is the story. I feels like the dev was taking certain elements of the story on one direction and then switched directions late in the game to add an entirely different element. Specifically the Jill story line. I won't spoil anything, but the late shift in plot line with her seems like it wasn't originally planned.

    The worst thing, for me, however, is the silly blocking of the MC's face. I can handle it sometimes but when the MC is the focus of so many scenes, his head is chopped off. This is so distracting and every time I see it, it takes me out of the story in a kind of shocking fashion. I understand why some devs do this, but at the end of the day, it really doesn't make sense. If you are going to do it, then there should be more POV shots and less shots with the MC in the scene IMO.

    Finally, English does not seem to be the devs first language as there are times the grammar is way off. I can put up with some, but much like the half a head problem, when the grammar is bad enough to take me out of the story, it's time to focus a little more on it.

    Regardless, it's a fun story and good kinks. The dev has put a TON of work into it and it is paying off. Looking forward to seeing where it goes.

    What is there not to like?
    Beautiful girls, lovely personalities, gorgeous models, and an MC that is likable. And the icing on the cake is a full-fledged harem.
    Highly recommended if you like harem games; you will be delighted.

    I don't understand the high ratings.

    The game is a year and a half into development, and is painfully short.
    Characters are thrown at us without telling us who they are. There are all manner or relationships (not just familial kinds) that we are not told about, so when we find things out later, they make no sense.

    The story, as short as it is, is all over the place, with exposition dumps to explain that aspect of the story, but not any background we need to understand the current context.

    It is as if the dev has a crystal clear view of who every character is, and what every aspect of the plot is, and has utterly failed to convey it in a way that means anything. As if we should go into the game already knowing who these people are, what their relationships are, and what the backstory of everything is.

    I may be phrasing that awkwardly. Let's try another way. The game feels as if it is chapter six or seven of an existing game, where the first few chapters were there to set up characters, plot, and provide backstory and context, and now we are finally getting into the chapters that should introduce the main story to us.... but instead of releasing those first chapters, as it were, it is as if the dev said "no, I don't think they'll need this," discarded them, and released what we have as the starting point.

    The game feels like you are jumping into the middle of a story you SHOULD know something about, with characters you SHOULD know something about, and then just blazes forward, with awkward writing and jarring jumps between scenes, characters and plot, leaving a contusing mess in it's wake.

    This game I'm rating at a two, because it simply makes no sense and there is not enough to grasp and hold on to to give you the context it needs. However, I am not rating it a one, because I BELIEVE the dev knows who the characters are, knows what the story is, and has a worthwhile plot to convey.

    But unless there is a re-write to some scenes to make them make more sense, and some sort of exposition or alternate opening scene to help us know who we are, were we are, and what is happening, the whole project, and story the dev wants to tell, falls flat on its face.

    Grasping at the pieces, I see there is a design. And a story that could be interesting. But it's like a beautiful pieces of glass art that the dev made, dropped on the floor, swept up, and then is trying to show us, like "look at what I made!"
    I can tell it was SOMETHING. I can tell it might have been something great. But all I see is random shattered fragments.

    If you want to fap, you can. Models look good, content is there for that. If you want a story, and to be blunt, I believe the dev WANTS us to want the story, and has put great effort into building one, the sad fact is, as the game stands right now, we are not given enough to work with to know what the story even is. We're just sifting through that pile of broken glass, and wondering what we're supposed to do with it.

    This CAN be fixed. It CAN work. It COULD be worth, genuinely, 5 stars and high praise.
    But if, and only if, the work is put in to give us the context we need for anything to make sense. We don't live in the dev's head. We can't understand what is happening in what feels like a random, disjointed mess, just by magically extracting the background and context we need from the devs mind.

    One of the best and probably one of the most underrated games on the site . After the 4th chapter update the overall playtime is quite decent and worthwhile you wouldn't get bored by reading as it does not have very long fillers. There are a lot of girls though in the game so sometimes it gets confusing who's who and what relationship you have with them . The harem is being built but most people don't know about each other yet . Overall a great game and if it continues like this it might become one of most recognized on the site . just hope there were animations and updates were a bit faster.

    This AVN is worth my time
    Most common reason i like this AVN cus it is Harem based game ( and u can choose if u don't want Harem ... But for me i it's a plus point ) ... Even not only that ... It has pretty much other good elements... That is character design, thier story and thier relation to MC ... It is Awesomely handled ... Visual and models are also cute and likeable ... Adult scenes are also worth fappable
    I am pretty satisfied with this Game ... I hope dev keep this up
    Waiting for next update
    That's all thanks for reading

    TL;DR Hit or miss avoid if you hate liars and drama. Otherwise its good.
    So this game is very hard to rate. On the one hand I acknowledge that I am done with this game. On the other it's actually good if you can get past the horrible characters that are Jen & Jill. The renders, and characters are compelling. Plus it's a harem game. However, for those of us who just want to relax (i.e. not deal with the drama aka work) this game can be a rollercoaster.

    Good game. The story has potential, the characters are interesting and although it doesn't cover all the fetishes, it has several of them. From my point of view it has two cons, the size of the penis, seriously, the mc is a tripod, it's not big, it's huge, it almost reaches the knee. The second thing is that maybe it's too early in the development of the game, but sometimes the decisions don't feel like you make them directly, but more like you should avoid certain actions like being honest in a conversation so that later your character doesn't have to fuck a girl without your consent.

    Very good start to this VN. Renders are good. Story is decent with a couple mysteries going on. Nurse scene was hot. Though it also brought up one of the weaknesses of the VN in that the MC seems clueless and it was emphasized a few times here. I'm ambivalent on everyone's attraction to him, but I also do like harem games and there's only so much you can do to make them believable. Only other weakness I found was some minor editing/grammar issues.

    [edit] Forgot to mention there are some hilarious scenes, especially with the Geek Girl. Great use of humor without being constantly over the top or immature!

    Overall this is a pretty good VN.
    PROS
    Models are sexy
    Story is good
    CONS
    Writing needs a bit of a polish
    Summary
    The story has a good flow. It's leading you on a journey, and has purpose.
    The models are very lovely. Their bodies aren't over exaggerated. Large breasts don't look like they're the size of a hot air balloon.
    The writing does need a bit of a polish though. It isn't horrible, but you do notice some of the errors here and there.
    I do recommend this VN, and I look forward to seeing where it goes in the future.

    The lost love [v0.05b]

    Liked the start. good renders. Writing is okay but there is few typo errors. There is sound effects and music for giving more ampience. And that milf looks like real milf. Absolutely loved the little sister. She is very much adorable and fun. This version is more like a demo introduced the characters except the second one in the banner. For the Story part can't say that much have to wait for next updates. Glad this one is a slowburn.

    Overall I enjoyed this version. Keep up the good work dev. Looking forward to ch 1 on next week
