So I guess my main complaint is too many of the choices don't matter, and even the choices that do, you don't have the information viewable to you when you make them.
My models learn what the judges like, so I should probably take that into account when picking which models to send to the competition, especially since you tell me who the judges are. But that information isn't viewable there, and from my experience playing, can simply be brute forced by grinding and doesn't really matter.
Getting models to concubine level seems like it should be something desirable, but its really just a way to reduce your active models, and there are no benefits to doing so other than freeing up a model spot (you even lose the ability to look at them naked?)
The game is crying out for choices that really matter, and a better presentation of that information to make the choices.
When I get to select a new girl, seeing things that matter as to why I should pick one in particular should be on the screen. I might want an even distribution of hair color or cup size or something that matters, but because I don't see anything, I just pick the girl who I most want to see naked pictures of (which should be a fine and viable way to play, but not the only one).
When I get to assign a contract, I have to remember who is currently content blocked on needing more contracts, and even then it probably won't matter because for a lot of contracts I only have a few choices among my available models. And is content blocking the only meaningful reason to assign contracts to a specific model? You tell us who its with, and there's information (hidden several clicks away) that might be relevant, but what does it matter?
I have no idea how stress works, despite playing for awhile.
I have no idea if it matters if I alternate between girls for photoshoots, or grind out all the available ones on a girl in order.
I have no idea who I should pick for what job and why, and what the consequences of any of those choices are.
I'm given choices, and I feel it rarely matters which choice I make.
I try to seek out information to make informed choices (who's photo's should I take to maximize relationships) and its never easy to find or where I am making the choice.
I try to make choice with a goal in mind, and there's no reward for reaching the goal.
It feels like this is an overly complex randomizer to deliver softcore porn. Which is fine, but not really worth spending time on.
I apologize if this comes off as overly harsh. I certainly don't mean it to. But there's something close to a game here that would be fun, it just needs choices to matter and affect things and better rewards.
