VN - Ren'Py - Trouble iN The aRena [Ep.6] [Sir Gary Bummer]

After reading so many VNs that didn't do a whole lot with their word counts, it's weird to come across one that I actually wished was a little more fleshed out with character events, but here we are. This is a fantastic shorter-format story. Stupidly funny, very hot. Instantly nudged into my top 10 of eagerly awaiting updates, and I haven't even finished it yet.

I haven't engaged with many NTR stories - not out of insecurity or whatever, just didn't seem appealing - but this one hits. I love making this pompous little Donkey suffer.

Edit: after having actually caught up with the game (should have before reviewing), the game does end up fleshing the character events out a bit more, but it apparently came at the cost of a number of great scenes happening completely off screen, which totally sucks. One character in particular just skips a huge amount of progression. Kinda feels like the game is cucking me at this point. We'll see what the future holds, I guess.

9 / 10
Ep. 6
Wholesome NTR.

The game that is good at everything, and bad at nothing.
It's not great at everything - other games do some stuff better than it - but it's good at everything.
//Also my first futa game. Never found futas particularly sexy - only cute. Until now, I guess.

- Tone:

- Comedy:

- Sex scenes:

- Characters:
Adorable, distinct, and each has inner contrast - which means each of them is interesting even on their own.

- Dialogues:

- Models.

What could be improved:
- Music:

- The boy's sex scenes. And his sexual relationships overall.

A genuinely great NTR game. The visuals are amazing, even if you don't like the style. The angles and scenes are really inventive. Even the clear NTR cliches used are given a personalized twist by the game. The game's renders are set in some very nicely made surroundings, which adds a surprising amount to the game.

The story is good, although mostly taking a backseat compared to its characters, which are all amazing and clearly distinct from one another. The humor actually works and adds to the game.

The character's renders are detailed with unique bodies and proportions. As someone partial to abs and a fan of all types of boobs I am eternally grateful to the dev for this. My only complaint is that Ruru’s meat, a pillar of the story, is just not big enough for a futa.

In Summary amazing game. Sadly have to rate it 0/10 unless Ruru gets a bigger schmeat.

genuinely hilarious, hot, and light. would recommend for anyone that likes fantasy, good humor, or enjoys the character models. as much as i like NTR and how important that is to the game, the NTR doesn't feel too intense or dark, so if ur looking for an NTR to break ur heart, it isnt here. this would be one of the best if this game if it was much more focused with a driven plot or narrative, so far the plot is developing but pretty aimless, feels a lot more like a sitcom anthology with hot NTR and great humor. would recommend just for the laughs alone

So enjoyable and yet manages to be sexy too! And, for those who aren't particular fans of NTR, it's not what you think at all! The "MC" (you'll see what I mean in a moment) is originally a massive douchebag and a bit of an idiot who falls in via the usual isekai tropes, but is humorously left with everything but a big dick to fuck his harem with and lose his virginity - trying his pompous tropes on the girls around him, they debuff him and his fiancée often has to drag him around and teach him how to actuall behave, which he slowly does, and paired with the characters, introduced and the jokey environment, it makes for a nice theme!

Now...for why this is really netori, and who is really a true MC in my eyes - the "MC"'s maid, Ruru! Posing as a maid, but actually a bit more, and with the ability to grow a dick between her legs (yes, selective futa, so if not for you, now you know), she shows off her powers and making things run while acting none the wiser, almost like a sinister villain who pretends they haven't seen something obvious, but in a much nicer way, her love is her master, but all these women around him and his fiancée are distractions that keep coming around and she has to deal with, much to the enjoyment of us as we see all her activities mixed in with occasional play with the MC and her continual quest to try and get him to accept that his dick is good enough for her, technically NTR, but in a way that is much more enjoyable, I found myself enthralled and still playing for hours

The story is very jokey and full of tropes, but pleasant and funny, you grow with the characters, there's no stupid 4th walling, and the elements of the story drive you to see what happens next, even if its tropey. Despite being koikatsu, plenty of custom scenes appear to be used, and the appearance of the various characters is varied and looks sexy, and some changes happen too, different outfits, occasional changes to piercings and such, good variety

Overall, a really surprisingly sexy game, which took me completely by surprise considering the tags and the intro, definitely worth playing!

It's just a linear wall of text from start to finish. So no gameplay in any imaginable way.

There are 2-3 scenes that are somewhat well made. but for not much digging in the game so far.

So if you are into a long ass reading session, without any "progression" well then maybe have a go.

An incredible game. One of the best, if not the best, NTR game on this site in terms of the story idea.
You have a male and female lead, where the female does the cucking, and while I usually like netorase more and MCs which aren't completely oblivious, the demon still takes care of her master while fucking his love interests and prepares them for him too. I simply love this concept.
Also the demon character model is perfection, she has it all going on, cute, hot, dangerous.
I also do not care about Futa, but it just fits here and is executed nicely.
There is no pointless dialog, it is engaging enough to read it all and keeps you wanting to learn more about the plot. But there is also nothing really in terms of choices besides skipping content if you want the MC to get less sex.
There is enough content to really get going at this point.

So now that the game have passed his early stage, i think it's time for a proper review.

So there is a lot to say. It started as an humble first game, some things were a bit amateurish.
But the dev made great progress whenever at coding, making and posing 3D asset, and writting.

To get back to the matter at hand, what can you expect from the game?

First and foremost, a very refreshing story telling. It's light hearted, quite funny at times, the characters are very likable. The most surprising thing being, you could expect the MC to be your usual beta, which he's supposed to be, but there is so much derision about it you kinda feel for him at some point. Not in a sad way just because, well, he's funny. Still a Donkey but a likable one.

On the graphic side of it, it started a bit subpar, for the dev was clearly starting out, but he really improved and it's now quite good i must say. At least is it to the level of most of the VN out there. So don't be appaled by the very first scene, it gets better and better.
Also, thank god for choosing a light body type for the main LI. Big boobs and butts gets old Don't worry though cause there is enough character and body type to fit everyone taste.

So yeah, i completely recommend it as long as you don't mind futa and NTR, but even so you might just wanna try it for the fun.

Honestly, you might just wanna keep an eye on this dev career, cause if he keeps improving at this rate, he might just be amongst the best there is 'round here in no time.

Bit disappointed in this latest update(Episode 6). Feels more pure porn and barely has any of the comedy or interesting story bits from before. Scenes are still hot of course, but I mean a lot of the work is done just from using Honey Select. I'm hoping for more similar to the first handful of chapters in future updates, but if it doesn't this will be a perfect game to just skip playing it and watch the gallery instead.

This is a really good, well fleshed out characthers like they actually have personalities like a person, also the renders they're hot and cute though i think it'll be nice if scenes are just be a tiny bit longer, can't wait for the future of this game especially the 2 milf hahaha

Don't be put off by the NTR tag if you're not into it. Now, if you do like futa and netori, this is it!

I downloaded this intending to just skip to see the sex scenes, but started reading the first few renders and one hour later I realized that I not only didn't skip anything but also that I had just found a rare gem. And I guess that should tell you something about the writing.

It doesn't take itself too seriously, but it's sexy, funny, witty, mysterious and thoroughly enjoyable. Definitely give it a try.

I was honestly really put off (and kind of still am) by the Honey Select visuals, but after powering through my initial hesitation I found a futa NTR game (of which I am a fan) that was well-written and went at a pace I liked.

That said, the type of NTR did disappoint me. My preference is for the total abandonment of the cuck, which feels evil when I type it out. This game does not do that; instead, the futa fucks and steals the cuck's harem out from under his nose so she can have him to herself. Even with this being the scenario, it doesn't really impact h-scenes, so if you are anything like me I still believe this game is worth playing.

If you don't care either way, however, then this review shouldn't change your thoughts. Just airing my own.

Absolutely deserved five stars.
It´s funny, kinky, has good graphics and some great ideas for animations and the use of perpectives. The mix of fantasy, comedy, futa, light NTR and femdom just works like a charm.
Totally surprised in a positive way of this game.
There are surely games with better graphics,more kinks or a better story. But the mix in this one is pretty unique, which makes it in my opinion Top 10 material.

I can count on one hand how many of these "honey select" style games I actually like. They are mostly filled with crude humor, tasteless themes, and nonsensical writing. This game, however, has interesting dialogue, interesting characters, and a coherent plot. Which already makes it leagues above similar games in this genre.

Diving a bit deeper, I think the choice to make the MC have unlikeable traits works in this game because the author was smart enough to call him out on it several times. In most games, the MC is an annoying douchebag that everyone wants to sleep with. But in this game, the MC is (sometimes) an annoying douchebag that everyone (except for the maid, whom I will talk about shortly), will call him out on or even punish him for being that way, which is a breath of fresh air.

Now lets talk about the maid Ruru, who I think sells this game very well. The author chose to use a writing technique for her character that is most commonly found in horror of all things. And that is the, "do they know?" trope. I don't know what the trope is actually called, but essentially its when an evil character in horror pretends to be unaware of where the protagonist is, meanwhile, tension rises as you slowly learn that this character is aware. A good example of this is in the film 'Inglorius Bastards', where the main antagonist pretends to be unaware of terrified Jewish people hiding beneath the floorboards. The antagonist is kind and jovial even, but slowly becomes terrifying as the audiance learns that he is playing a game. This makes Ruru a very interesting and fascinating character to watch.

I've seen this done in another Honey Select game on this site (which I'm probably not allowed to mention) and I'm curious if the author is a fan of that game as well.

Final note. This isn't important but I just wanted to say that the scene where the character Sveida remarks that she is willing to do "Amatuer-gramming" instead of programming was very witty and well done.

There are quite a few games that try to score with a absurd antics and tongue-in-cheek humor, but they tend to end up failing because they go too far and become too annoying to handle.

This one is luckily able to keep its weirdness contained, so it's pretty funny at times and kind of endearing at others. I especially appreciate how the cucking is neither cruel nor exclusive; the people around the MC are getting corrupted by the same person that is trying to seduce him, so it falls into this strange relationship where you get the morbid curiosity of cheating and partner stealing without a messy or depressing story. He doesn't even seem to care much about his lover, since he's mostly focused on making his dick bigger to be more confident and loose his virginity, and the latter can happen if you make the choice. I feel like it will lean more heavily on netorase or sharing as it goes on, considering how lighthearted the plot is.

The renders are sometimes a bit faulty, but overall a pretty cool-looking game. Also, a major bonus that the best waifu is the maid.

Absolute positive surprise. The renders are very cool, it scratches a lot of kinks many people have and above all, the demoness is hella cute. It also has nicely done lewd scenes.

Ngl, I would like to see her top MC as well. But even if not, corrupting the princess is good enough lol.

All in all, we will be watching your career with great interest.

I didn't expect this game to be so good, each character has a pretty nice personality and the interaction between them is really fun, I expected the protagonist to end up being the typical stupid boy that no one likes (And he is) but I like that in Instead of making me angry, his personality and aptitude make me laugh.

I also hope that the maid ends up having a softer side and becomes attached to the girls in the story, it would be good character development.

Probably my favorite futa game on the platform, even though I'm normally not into NTR at all. To me, it feels more like a multiple protag game with the main focus being the futa maid.
The game provides decent animations, very good and unique renders and lots of character variety.
While the story is nothing groundbreaking, the comedy is actually pretty well done, which is rare for an adult game. The pacing is also decently fast so you won't have to wait long for scenes.
All in all, easy 5/5 for me.

Is the game good? Yes. Do I recommend it? Yes.

Do you like NTR? Do you like heroines getting corrupted? Do you like futas?

Before anybody gets up in arms proclaiming to the world that they are no loser betacuck virgin so no they won't play the game, I have an advice for you: learn how to disassociate. Just like when you're reading a book, you're not the main character - you're just a random person looking in from far away, reading the characters' conversations exactly like a silent observer behind a computer screen. That was easy, wasn't it?

Now if the answer is yes to at least one of the three questions, this is the game for you. What this game excels in is its writing followed by its visuals. The game is essentially a nukige - a jerk off game - so that's how I'll be rating it but in spite of that the writing is surprisingly well done.

Surprising how? Most Western creators tend to rely too much on their visuals, their renders and animations in making their sex scenes hot. If you've played some Japanese nukiges, you know how good their obscene dialogues and graphic descriptions can be, and coupled with their sounds, it makes the whole experience so much more exciting even with just still images.

The writing here is more similar to that and that's what makes it so good. As much of a sucker as I am for good looking renders, writing - especially dialogue - is where I tend to pay more attention because if I don't like it? The game's automatically an unread text skip. That's not the case here, the dialogue is entertaining even when the scene is not sexual and that is a huge positive because the point of an adult game is sex and if the writing outside of sex is great? That's not to include the dialogue for the corruption and sex scenes, those are even better! And I believe that in a game where corruption is one of the, if not, main theme - writing NEEDS to be good and that's exactly what happens.

Next are the characters but before that, if anyone else is still hung-up on the NTR here's another advice: instead of thinking that the shortstack is the MC, think that the MC is Ruru. With this, the netorare becomes netori. Now each character is unique and not in a woke kind of way, they do follow archetypes loosely and that's totally fine - archetypes exist for a reason.

The visuals are good, they're no 8k rendered images no but they are very appealing. Each girl is hot and they all have different body types which is always a plus, the only good kind of diversity in my opinion. As for the sex scenes, they're all very exciting and combined with the surprisingly good dialogue, they're incredibly well done. A 5 star all the way.

My message to Sir Gary Bummer: Keep up the good work! Everything's been good so far and even if you draw up some crazy plot device (which seems to be what you're setting up for) so long as the dialogue isn't neglected and either stays the same or better yet improves, the story and its pacing won't suffer for it.

I typically never play NTR-focused games, and even after playing this game I have no plans to. However, this game is so funny and well-written that even the most ardent-NTR hater could probably enjoy it.

I do wish the mc was a little less dweeby looking, but thats kind of a staple of the genre and does add to the comedy. Other than that, all the girls look great, the demon maid is such a great character and I don't even mind all the NTR as long as we end up together
