Despite being the newest high effort, good hentai rpg, I still think they fumbled one the key things games like Karryn's Prison realized.
Regarding H mechanics in rpg games, most games, including this one, takes the "H mechanics = shortcut" approach, you basically get infinite money for free if you level Beauty instead of Speech, most checks require way less Beauty than Speech, the Chastity debuff to Prayer is not even that bad, and can be easily sidestepped by switching to magic if you want, as they share the INT attribute. There's no Order mechanic to incentivize combat and you also level by doing sex scenes, so you're just wasting your time going for a pure Combat/Speech run.
Karryn made H mechanics it's own playstyle and tightly woven with the combat, I think this philosophy could be reconciled in this game with a few changes, but oh well. It's different, not inherently inferior, it just means they embedded the difficulty selector into the game, instead of a UI prompt at the start of the game.
But I sure do prefer how Karryn does.
