I found this Vn to be exactly what I was looking for, there is an actual story to be told, the developer has taken time building the world and it's characters
You have a 16 year old living a peasants life who gets called up to serve in the military, we see him develop from this young man with a dream of adventure into a 19 year old man with a longing to return home to his family after the harsh reality of war takes its toll, he rises through the ranks nonetheless and becomes a beacon to other men in a similar position but even with a higher status, the nobility still disregard him as a worthless peasant..
In this story you'll find love in unexpected places, a family that needs leadership and care, a mysterious story involving gods, monsters and monster girls
along with a cast of virgin maidens lusting after the mc, I'm kinda hooked if I'm being honest
There are a few things I'd recommend to the Dev, the dialogue has a lot of mistakes, this wasn't an issue for me but it might be an issue for some so if possible look it over, the sandbox near the end of the update was, well it threw me off if I'm being honest, I didn't mind it but it definitely felt unnecessary
Good luck with the future of the story, looking forward to seeing how it develops
