VN - Ren'Py - Waifu Academy [v0.12.5] [Irphaeus]

Looked good so i decided to give it a try, it sadly did not hold out well.
Action options are weird as hell, sandbox makes it a bit nonsensical.

You can either be a rapist or a walk over, nothing in between.
And then add in way too many tired tropes for this to even be entertaining.

10/10
Gameplay and Mechanics: The gameplay mechanics are user-friendly and intuitive, making it easy for both newcomers and veterans of the genre to dive in. The branching narrative paths provide a sense of agency and replayability, as players can explore different storylines and outcomes based on their choices. The interface is clean and well-organized, ensuring a smooth gaming experience.

So much potential, so little outcome. The story could have provided so much drama and sex. But instead, you are simply playing a young sex offender and criminal, trying to get revenge in the least clever and interesting way.

[Spoiler - although not so much] You drug out your step-sister to rape her, illegally recording the girls in their changing room to blackmail them later on. You physically assault another student out of the blue (even if he deserved it).

The best thing about such games is when you have the choice between different ways of dealing with a problem or winning the girls. Even if devs want to allow players to use the criminal way, I would like to have the option to use a better (yet longer or harder) way.

Maybe I will give it another try in the future because I really want to see how the whole scheme will blow apart and MC will be punished for his ways. Buuut I honestly doubt that the devs will to that.

One of the most interesting games out there in the VN department. Great art, peak character design and the best written story full of humor and wit as well as sex scenes full of passion and depravity.

The only draw back being the slow and often push backed updates. But if you are patient you have a great experience in your hands that is hard to match on this side.

Good game but nothing special it have a good story but its kinda boring the mc is good but he should have a better face at the begining of the game u will be curiosity about the story but after 2 hours it gets boring .
The songs is bad.
Characters design is meh.
Animation is bad.
Sex scenes is meh.
Its average game what i can say.

Good game with good story really good one other than few stupid things like sometimes people forgot police and internet exist like if you record video then upload internet thats means that video stay forever even you are strongest influenced person on this earth you cant get rid of that but sadly mc or other cant understand that yellow haired retard attacks one of the girls home and for now nothings happens like why the fuck ? some bullying i can understand and thief ? yup but in Japan killing someone and scandals really really bad for anyone here even rich persons so other than this good game really yeah MC is edgy teen so theres little edgty content here other than this things this is fine game.

this game has very good humor with a interesting story. there are so many gril and scenes, but lack of the effectiv choices. the voices are fun and the grapic is good enough to enjoy the game. there are a few bugs.

VN with cute girls and good plot. Lots of content to go through.

Definitively worth giving it a chance.

Only criticism I can give is the visual change for Rikuna, we got introduced a quiet goth girl and now she looks like a rebel goth punk. Please don't change my waifus too much.

(reviewed version 0.11.0)

PS: Theres no real NTR in this game. Review below claims there is and seems angry about it.

The game's using HS models, so it could never be perfect.
And on top of the creepy otaku side character, MC's devious 5D revenge plan walks on a tightrope between due payback, and rapey sadism.

That said, the game has really much to offer. Both in terms of length, and variety: you have the skimpy gyaru, the martial arts tomboy, the sleepy athlete, the hime-cut oriental beauty, the head-size-boobed oversea student, the bratty pest, the neko journalist, the wannabe idol, the slutty streamer, the mysterious nurse, the flirting neighbourhood, the hentai-cultured nerd and the MILF mom. It's almost scary just how smoothly you end up in their pants.

And no, MC's self-aware puns aren't that bad. They are fully in line with the cringe you'd would expect a pretentious teen to have.
Tho having each girl presented with her name and cup size is kinda rock bottom.

I did have a save file from 2021. I wish I would have just continued skipping this VN.
I made it to where you train on the video game and got bored with it.

MC is wishy-washy at best. Supposed to be on a revenge path, but gets bitch slapped by every girl he encounters. Which seems to just thrust multi paths of non sense.
1 of your goals is to get the mini cam back from the girls locker room. Why don't you just get it after everyone has left? Pointless droning around getting your ass beat by both male and female characters is hilarious.
F**k the long game and just start handing out beat downs to the clowns that jumped you in the bath room. Some revenge plan

This VN has been dragging around for at least 3 years that I'm aware of, and from the little I experienced of this VN, it's just trash. There is no NTR tag and there should be. Seeing how the super slut is blowing dudes, and Mrs. Anders is getting it on with the gym teacher.
Just put this VN out of it's misery already.

As many are saying, this game is now a lost cause. The dev has been exploiting its success of the beginning when it actually was a good game, but which is now an empty shell placeholder of a game with the sole reason of existence being to be able to milk the most money possible from the remaining community already engaged in it from the past. Absolutely no interesting content for the past 3 years. Leave the way, you'll be more than disappointed.

It is a game that features plenty of varied hot girls and sex scenes but thankfully more than just being a fuck fest it is actually laced with a story which has a strong emphasis on humour to add brevity to the revenge plot and MC's rather malicious at times personality. With this balance act in place you can actually go tag along for the plot just as much for the sex scenes.

I have no idea how and when the Karma system will come (if ever) but for the most part being an absolute bad guy chad who takes what he wants and doesn't hesitate on it rewards the content as far as i can tell. I like almost all the girls and some i hated at the start really grew on me (as they themselves grew in lust and confidence) though sadly some characters simply do not get to share the same limelight as others. A natural product of having a sizable cast and yes often choices will lead you to a good scene with one girl at the expense of another so some save scumming or back button mashing is often required to fully unlock the gallery.

Of course the dev is notorious for his updates being few and far between but all these years he has pretty much always been like this so i am not entirely sure why this is somehow a new development to so many players (newer ones perhaps?) but when they do come out i tend to find they are worth the wait unless of course your ideal girl is one of the many who will not be the focus of that particular update lol.

I think it's not at all outrageous to say that this game tests the patience of its fans. Started out fine in the earlier part of the game, and then after all these years, the updates are slow which is understandable in some cases, but there's very little content to show for it once it does have an update, and also barely any plot progression. I've given this game chances after chances, and well, I suppose I'm done expecting anything from this anymore.

I have to say that considering how long this game has been in development, it's pretty lackluster. The same boring generic music that seems to be used in all games using HS is there. The "sound" effects at least during the sex scenes are boring. Plus, the fact that at least half of the girls in the game, still don't have any type of sex scene. Not a BJ, HJ or anything. It seems like the dev just likes to blueball the player with very little sex. Sure, some of them LI's have a couple of sex scenes, but that's it. It's very disappointing that even after all these years of "development" you can't even have sex with the mom. Plus, there also seems to be certain tags that are missing. If there's going to be forced scenes of potential LI's getting abused in some way at least let the player disable them.

Maybe in another 10 years, considering how much time there is in between each "update", we might actually get to see another 1 or 2 LI's get more scenes and 1 or 2 sex scenes. Which will probably be extremely vanilla (think boring hand jobs and blowjobs). Maybe a foot job will be thrown in a place or two.

Some of the animations are ok, but nothing to be really impressed by. Most are the generic HS angles being used. Plus, the face the dialogue needs a complete overhaul with not only the spelling, but the grammar needs a lot of polishing.

If you've never played this game, keep in mind that some of the Npc's will make you feel pretty dumb or will make your skin crawl. Wait at least another 5 to 6 years to play it if it's still being made at that point.

Started really good.
Remarkable story, decent grafix, decent language (some stumblig, but not offputting).
BUT... the further you got into the story, the more it is dominated by fillers. Annoying fillers like the dialogues around the otaku incel and more disturbing, even porn as fillers .
One intersting/important line among 30 minutes of intensive clicking through unnecessary plotlines just isn´t acceptable.
If you just want porn, the scence are not up to par. If You want a story, it´s just way to much fillers. Unnecessary, uninteresting or just plain annoying fillers.
This game could use a cleanup, even before it is even completed.
I never managed to reach the end of 0.11.0 because of all the annoying crap that replaces the intersting stuff.
Maybee I give this one a second try when it´s completed, IF there´s some kind of cleanup happening before that.
Way to overboard in developing the game!
(I thought, I would never say that about a game.)

It's one of the best games on this site. I love the theme of the story and the MC's humor is something that I found very hilarious. the scenes are great and very well illustrated. the incest and rape tag are exceptionally great but there is just a few rape scenes so far. do not hesitate to give it a try.

Just an enjoyable porn game. All the models are great, and I personally enjoyed all of the characters and their individual stories. Development is definitely a bit of a slogfest, but I'm willing to wait as long as the updates provide meaningful content and aren't rushed.

My favourite game! I've played it over twelve times! I really liked the plot of the game, the graphics are so-so but the plot is fire. Thanks to the developer! I would really like a continuation of the game.

Its kinetic novel your choices don't matter. At best you will get game over scene.

MC is definition of Cring-kun. It is really really bad way he acts. Always thinking where to stick his dong. While some trying to justify his rapist attitude.

Sex scenes are mehh. they just happen with no buildup or chemistry. somehow sex becomes mundane with no spark or erotisme.

And cherry on the top this VN is NTR VN. no sugar coating gonna change that. you are forced to watch how LI are giving blowjobs, footjobs and other sex act to a different dudes. This game should have NTR tag. Had I known it earlier that game had NTR I would not have waisted hours into it...

Story has a good plot and alot of potential.
But it gets ruined by the missing NTR tag, ive heard it had it once but it got removed not sure why since its still there...like a scene with Sheila.
You will also see alot of scenes that arent NTR but you might not like to see a LI you might want suck other dudes dicks and such but your forced to watch that as well.

MC also kills it for me, hes to cringy and childish he thinks like a 12 year old that find any girl he see hot, and he constantly think about their tits or ass or whatever, i only find that annoying and stupid even more so since hes supposed to get revenge be the evil dude that blackmails people but instend hes just childish and boring.

And as so many MCs he has a big tit fetish which gets really annoying when you as the player hate big tits, not sure why so many MCs has to have a thought process like this instend of letting the reader/player deside for them selfs what they think are hot or not.
Also not a fan of oversized dicks on MC its idiotic, and ofc he gets a boner from nothing, the second hes nude he gets a boner like i said hes like a 12 year old virgin.

Game also has a boring mix of body builds for the girls where the main focus is on big tit fetish, i wish devs would learn to make something for everyone and even it out a bit, ratio in this game is proberly 1 small for every 10-15 big titted bimbo.

Choices are also lacking, you cant really choose anything just look at the first visit to the doc at school your given 3 choices and guess what all of them has handjob as the result, in other words you got 0 controle and its simply just a a bad porn game.
And if you dont follow a kinetic line set you will run into idotic game-over like give sister 1 sleeping pill=game-over...so fake choices.

Also every LI will forced on you, like i wouldent want to touch that huge tittet bimbo doc at school like ever fuck shes ugly yet MC loves her and is more then happy to do anything with her and he does with no choice to the player, even those you hate you will fuck its just bad.

And got to say its really all kinetic since you controle absolutly nothing, alot of fake choices and game-over crap.

Animations are a bit above averge.

Music is meh, mostly like elevator music.
