VN - Ren'Py - Completed - The Vampire Academy [v1.0] [Cicada_Dancing]

Horrible english translation, unimaginative plot and dialogue. Characters as bland as they come, plotholes (some are even addressed, with a "nevermnd that!" by the narrator).
I know its (supposed to be) an AVN, but the girl has a threesome with the 2 male interests after 1 talk/argument/sass each + 1 hearsay, and suddenly "they're in love" after she reveals she's human. Yeah, the "big" plot twist is outed by day 2 and nobody cares.
Thankfully it's very short with an ending of the "muhaha the [clearly retrospective] plan went great" type.

The N of AVN stand for novel: that's a fail mark for sure.

I made this as a comment as a thank you to the developer but then I apparently basically wrote a review, so here it is in 5 star review form.


I am genuinely surprised how good this was. The writing was smart and fun, I loved the protagonist and the ending was rather satisfying as well. I saw the file size was really small and there were not that many assets utilized but it was still as effective story a story as many that I hace seen, so I really do hope there are more because this was a nice change of pace. I especially loved the strong and opinionated heroine and I would pay to see that storyline continue if that is really something that the developer wants to do. Not to spoil the ending at all but it was nice and I would be interested to see what happens next in this new iteration of a vampire society.

My only real complaint aside from hoping it has a sequel is the English translation. I really wish it was a lot better and hell, I wish I could even volunteer to rewrite it for them, just so more people could enjoy the story in the way they were meant to. As you read it you kind have to retranslate what they are saying in your head to keep it all coherent and not take the words at face value but the story itself and especially the brazenness, attitude, and the idgaf personality of the heroine protagonist are really refreshing.

Storywise though I did find one weak point, the very very end, practically the epilogue, in the apartment seems to be poorly telegraphed and seems like it was just stuck on there, so I wish there was more allusions to that throughout the latter half to make the ending more satisfying.

Otherwise for all of it's flaws it is really good and I have been trying to get my wife to play it as well, especially as she is someone who enjoys Twilight and this is kind of an antithesis to that meek and fragile persona where instead of some vampires now all are but one are and even though she is the most vulnerable and fragile, she is also the bravest of all of them.

Standard game, with a very little interesting story.
Sex scenes are purely a checkbox exercise, no set up, no eroticism, pure a mechanical introduction of some piece of pixelated body in some hole of another pixelated body.
Art wise is ok.. but it completely miss the whole adult atmosphere.
It doesn't feel an adult game.
Very uninspiring and boring.
