I liked Dreams of Desire. Mainly because I liked the girls, (Tracy is still my bae to this day) but I couldn't deal with the MC really. I just have an issue with him putting his family under his control, yet really acting like he's so good and wholesome at the same time.
As for Midnight Paradise, yeah, I was actually going to say he was a Chad/Billy hybrid, but I was distracted by another notification and lost that train of thought. Still extremely insufferable though. Like you, I want to play it because it does look great, but I just can't get behind Lewdlab's vision at this time.
