To make it very short, I am rating this five stars for three reasons: It does provide an interesting premise about a guy who is at the verge of losing himself (and others). Relationships feel complex and from the looks of it you have agency to change them in different directions. The art and animations do a good job of supporting this novel. I recommend playing and supporting this because there aren't many AVNs which can pull it off the way WWLB does, even in its early stages.
The following text is for the developers and people who want to read some criticism and nitpicking (minor spoilers possible).
Some aspects of this game feel a little pretentious, lots of little wise quotes, an overflow of melancholy that might lead to emotional exhaustion before the real drama happens, and in direct contrast to this some dialogue that is outright silly.
For instance, there is this dude from the friends circle who is supposedly a world traveller and he spends a considerable time to say "having sex" in as many awkward variations as possible. Maybe it's funny to some, or maybe it's just awkward for no reason.
Plenty of women just throw themselves at the MC without much care or foreplay. There is an app that is basically overflowing with "pussy" for the MC. I say it like this because they all behave like sluts.
I get the general gist. There is this handsome and successful guy and there are the temptations of a world where his status grants him plenty of women who will never see him for what he is. But from a storytelling perspective it's just odd to have this app full of bimbos. It's more in line with something I would expect from a fuck fest AVN. Also, I'm not sure you are aware that dating platforms for high income people work very differently than Tinder for example.
Maybe this isn't an issue for you. And it is not for me yet either. But there is some potential to derail a good plot with side pieces that don't really work as a whole and I just want to point that out both for the developers and for players who desire more meaningful interactions. It is one thing to use a certain type of woman as a stylistic device to tell a story. But if you drown the MC in it you run the risk to lose focus for what actually matters.
And lastly, for a novel about the corporate world I have seen very little of it. For a guy that has supposedly no time for his friends he is hanging around with them plenty. Maybe you don't need me to say all this. Or maybe it's something to consider going forward.
There are also some minor technical issues. I used that honeybee app and had some small talk with the girls, then I used the mouse wheel outside of the smartphone and suddenly all my progression was gone. I had to redo the progression three times because by some clicking or mouse rolling it reversed every time.
All that said. I am very hopeful that this will be an interesting journey and I wish the developers that they avoid the typical pitfalls and convince with a great drama.
