[Ep.7] review
I'm rating this game 4.2, but since no half points can be given I'm just gonna round up. Because I'm a nice guy like that.
This game is mostly a porn delivery vehicle. The writing isn't bad, and honestly at times I get real glimpses of what could actually be great writing but then the porn gets in the way.
The porn itself is nice, though not top-tier. The stongest point is the renders. The girls are really hot to look at. But then after that it's honestly kinda vanilla and starts becoming repetitive after a while. I got my hopes up with the rape scene early on, and i was thinking that this would be a major plot point, with some real trauma to work through, but then it just goes away never to get mentioned again. Same with the "forced sex" interrogation scene. Those were some serious lost opportunities to continue the story and show how the characters change from these events. It could have been interesting.
The rest of the time the "seduction" part of the sex is mostly just MC whipping his dick out and the girls throwing themselves at it.
I keep wondering what else this could have been, with less shallow writing. If the VN had bettter pacing and spent some more time working through the character's responses to the things that happen. Sometimes the writing really shines. The characters seem real and have their own motivations. Hell, there's even some side character development going on, with the "bitch" character slowly warming up to the MC. The MC plays the part of lovable idiot dork pretty well with his corny jokes. And then out of nowhere there's this discussion about "what is time?", "does god exist?", et c. And I keep thinking that man, this authors sklls goes way beyond just patching plot together to maximize porn. But sadly, it's only small teasers in a sea of porn.
I just wish it was more coherent, and that the author would spend some time working on the pacing, build-up and aftermath of the scenes.
I mean, what the VN sets out to do, it does well: Shoving porn in your face at every opportunity. But it could do so much more.
