    V0.3
    I had wanted to wait to rate this until the next episode...but I'll just give my thoughts for now. This is one of the better HS2 game on here...mostly because of the well-thought-out writing. Its great and well-paced. Some may complain about the lack of scenes for now, but it serves to show how important it is to cook and develop characters in stories. By this point in the game, it's good that it cleared up and provided needed information about each character and their motivations. My pet peeve of mine when it comes other AVNs is how LI's just throw themselves at the MC just because without any reason or cause. However, they all feel like characters who are not just stylistically different but have unique personalities to each of them. They’re written with care, and it shows. You can empathize with them, understand their choices, and see why they connect (or clash) with the MC.

    Last thing that really impressed me is how the protagonist is handled. The MC isn’t just a blank slate or a passive observer—they’re given room to grow. Their reactions, relationships, and internal conflicts feel believable. You can see how their choices shape their emotional trajectory, and that makes the story feel personal. It’s rare to see an AVN where the MC feels like a character with the player, not just a vessel for the player.

    If the next episode continues this level of quality, I’ll be even more excited to see where the story goes. For now, I’m impressed.

    Reviewed: Chapter 03

    A good written story goes a long way! You can have amazing renders or great animations, but if you don't know how to tell a story, you're ~lacking~ (to say the least)

    This is a great example of how storytelling can be effective; it's immersive and compelling, hooking you instantly.
    In terms of graphics, it's not mind-blowing, but serviceable & it gets better in-between chapters .

    It's a slow burn so no lewd fest, you'll have to get to know the girls first, and trust me, it's really enjoyable. If you like story-driven AVNs, give it a try and enjoy the ride. I think it's worth it.

    I started playing the game at 23:00, ended up staying awake until I finished the current Patch, 0.3. Not many games hook me like this.

    Firstly the characters are all very hot, and very well written. I quite enjoy every female lead quite a bit, even the ones where I dont like the character concept that much, are written in such a way that allows me to feel for them.

    Something a lot of people, including me, dont like a lot is when the main character is prick for no good reason, making things worse and actively painful to watch. This I feel is what this game shines at, making the main character their own person, while still being extremely relatable to the average player. He never goes out of his way to be a prick, but he certainly goes there quickly.

    The volleyball animations are also gorgeous, along with the sex animations.

    8/10, impatiently waiting for 0.4

    Great game.
    I really appreciate how the developer treats each character — everyone has their own personality, and it truly shines through in the gameplay, in the interactions, and in how the characters react to what’s happening around them.
    In my opinion, that is what gives the game so much depth and quality.

    The story is solid, and the characters’ backgrounds are also interesting, but the real standout here is how vividly their personalities come through during the experience. Every game has its strong suit, and for me, that expressiveness and attention to character detail is what makes this one special.


    As of the time of this review, we’ve had three updates. The third one took a long time to arrive, but it was a complete chapter — well-crafted and clearly showing the developer’s commitment to quality storytelling.

    I genuinely hope the creator manages to fully realize their vision for this game.
    Keep up the great work.

    Great story and writing.
    Believable and well designed characters.
    Very cute girls and overall super nice visuals - thanks to dev's good work with HS, which is rare nowadays.
    And now I love volleyball. And you will too.

    Man I hope you see this, what a increadibly TALENTED person with this piece of fine art. If giving the feeling of fuzzy, warm, cozy, positive to the players were your intention, heck man you did it.
    Story was well written, the girls were alive alive, breathtaking visuals from every girl, (the introduction of Eve), the Hscenes are magnificient, feeling and emotions were out of this world, background music was also top notch, how you put it all together Im speechless, it really is good. Please keep doing whatever you doing.
    I just hope you find a way to produce animated scene quicker, like making a team or something like that. I normally can't tell from other games, but with yours I can, you ought to be putting a lot of time down to make a few seconds of animation. But I do really appreaciate you making and continuing to update on this game.
    I wish you success and hope to see the next update soon !

    An amazing AVN! I looked at preview pics and decided to take a chance on it, and it didn't disappoint! All the girls are interesting and have their own personality! Honestly, the writing on this AVN is well above average!


    I highly recommend it!

    Very high-quality game, one of the best on this site and has great potential. The developer did a very good job. The dialogues are interesting and keep the tension. The characters are bright and likable. Fantastic work!

    dipique

    I rarely submit ratings but this is such a good start. Great girls and the story is kind of interesting -- it's hard to make me care about story in these games but I'm actually reading dialog! The renders are a little hit & miss -- the girls are beautiful but some of the renders have lots of pixelation or artifacting I wouldn't expect. Saki also has some minor model issues with her mouth that take her to the uncanny valley in some frames. But I find the renders have 100% more character than some of the super high-quality render gams out there, so while I hope the render side is polished, I'll still love this game if it just stays the same.

    Only downside is the long wait for this to get finished.

    Yep, alright. Coming back to rewrite this review after finishing chapter 3, and I have to say, this VN is looking fantastic. It's still very early in the story, but I really feel like the characters are on-point so far, and the writer definitely knows enough about volleyball to keep the plot. There aren't many H-scenes yet — and none of "actual" sex — but I'm definitely in the camp of building relationships first instead of giving the player/reader a quick nut.
    Getting in on the ground floor in a game's development is overrated; now I need to painstakingly wait for every update. But I'm confident the wait will be worth it.

    Buddy! Talk about packing up the taste buds for a weekend trip to smut-town.....cuz nice stories make my pp go brrrrr........

    Hey guys, wholesome slut here, bringing you another review of titles I devoured.

    Disclaimer: if you worry about the "spineless MC" trope, you can still enjoy this piece. The story is about transformation rather than just having a spine and calling everyone bitches and sleeping around non-stop. It has good transformation and things actually progress so nicely.
    Deals with heavy topics like depression and really relatable stuff like taking your anger out on others, making mistakes etc.

    Pros
    1. Good fckin story. Look away if you just want nonstop fckin. There is some h-scenes but they actually have some good built up to them. Rapport building is important.
    2. LIs are smokin. Good personalities. Yes has anime tropes. But I love them and it's being flushed out well.
    3. Music is well.
    4. Plays like slice of life without so much monologue or long dialogues. Never found myself skippin cuz dialogues were very conversational and succinct.
    5. Good transformation and sports concept. Love the work!
    6. Not sure how to say this without coming off racist or whatever, very few games do the non-white characters good. Like it's either someone who's gonna be a villain, ntr fkcery or a annoying chick. The black LI here is some so good, like props to actually representing real people than just perpetrating stereotypes.
    7. So fcking good progression. Some scenes are so well built like the characters talking when cars are moving in front of them. Really immersive.
    Cons (or areas to improve):
    1. Renders in first chapter will probably need redone sometime. Major lighting issues and gradients and shadows. I personally don't mind but people might be turned off if they don't get past first chapter. Much improvement in 2nd chapter.
    2. Not sure if I'm stupid but having the images the LIs send saved in the game's gallery or having a phone. Idk.
    3. More music selections. Heck I don't mind copy right free music if placed correctly.
    Verdict: Abso-fucking-lutely yeppity yep for my fellow wholesome sluts that enjoy a good back story and character development. We'll watch your career with great interest...Ciao :)

    Best adult approach in high school setting.

    This game have a very well written story with masterfully designed characters. Visuals are also up do date. Game got high quality's animation with slightly classic erotic approach. The closest thing that come to my mind is "Girls of the Wild's" manhwa.

    Pros
    - Story is written by a person who could probably write a good novel or romance book.
    - Characters. Unique design with more western type approach. Their words, emotions and actions have logic and you will be filled with joy by observing them.
    - Visuals. Everything on the highest level. Pure cinema.
    - Adult approach. No stupid jokes, no huge boobs, no drugs or superpowers. Usual high school with real life pressure.
    - MC. Act like a person who got his last chance to fix his life. Earn his talent by hard work. Don't afraid to act.
    - Full pallet of emotions. Game don't afraid to be serious.

    Cons
    - Sometimes game lacking of music support (during negative dialogs for example) And it would be nice to hear more sounds from females during lewd scenes.

    You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.

    5/5 Best "grown up" approach to visual novels.

    I really enjoy the love interests here and the plot seems to be going to some great places. I also love the music used here, especially the theme of eve.

    The only two caveats here is that there is not much content here yet. I'd recommend waiting a few years. Also the MC is very unlikable, but he is set up for a redemption arc (and is more interesting than most bland protagonists on this site). Otherwise, this game is very good.

    TLDR: You love cringe writing, and staring at weird filters? This for you. Otherwise, skip.


    Pros
    – At least there’s one LI good looking.


    Cons

    Graphics look sick (not in good way)

    Too bright. Every damn pic got that yellow piss filter like someone modded Instagram 2012 and called it "cinematic". Characters just blend into background like camouflage

    Some stuff sharp (eyes maybe?) but rest is blur hell hair and tattoos look like low-res assets. The hair looks like a shiny chunk of plastic in the bath scenes, and in normal scenes it’s like they just dumped a pile of random crap on their head I don’t even know how to describe it. Dry straw? Toilet brush hair? PVC wig? You name it. Overall contrast is graping my eyes. Highlights too bright, shadows too soft = flat like a bad PNG.

    Lighting? Man idk what’s going on. Sun behind the dude but face lit from the front? Shadows MIA.
    I swear, taking five nades to the face in CSGO is still more bearable than sitting through an hour of staring at this.

    And grain?? Bro, why. It’s like someone spilled sand on the screen. I get it, artsy attempt—but it’s just dirty and hard to look at.


    Story
    MC is like… the 1876th "good guy with six pack and giga pp but tortured soul" character. Not just generic harem pasta, nah—he’s worse. He's annoying, and all the girls are more annoying than him.

    Dialogue isPeak satire. Choices like: “Quit or get laid?” Are we deadass?
    After losing my brain cells to read it. I just skipped all text and looked at CGs. And still picked right 99% of the time.

    Whole thing feel like somebodys mom gave a 14yo boy a Monster can, weed, and a laptop and said:
    "Make something great."
    And he did.

    The storytelling is excellent, and the plot made me feel like I was reading a real Japanese youth sports manga—I almost forgot I was playing a visual novel. For example, the romantic clichés gave it the vibe of a romance-driven sports manga, which I really enjoyed. However, overfocusing on storytelling resulted in a noticeable lack of nsfw content—let’s not forget this is an nsfw game. Moreover, the pacing feels too slow, as the heroines haven’t even come together yet, meaning the main story hasn’t truly started. While slow pacing is acceptable in a regular narrative, it feels off in an NSFW-themed game. Please move the story to the next stage as soon as possible.

    Although I have played several visual novel games and have learned to let the plot give way to CG and gameplay, I think this game really achieves the meaning of "visual novel". The self-redemption of a bad boy, a very cliché plot, right? But the text is really touching. I have to state in advance that I have no experience of breaking the law, but this game really immersed me in it, allowing me to go from being forced to clean up the mess left by the male protagonist to truly understanding him, empathizing with him, and fighting with him. In this game, "novel" really beats CG and gameplay and becomes the core of the game, which is why I give it a full score. Of course, the art is also very good, every girl is very cute, and the details are also in place (for example, Eve's mole, she and the production team did not avoid it). I hope the game will be updated soon, and I recommend everyone to try it. (Finally, thanks to the Chinese translation, the translation is good)

    Quality of art is good I like it but that's it there's not much noteworthy IMO, plot seems to be interesting at first but girls are totally screwed up in head, and top of all a beta MC "from the Alpha team" is literally insufferable then again it's just my opinion those who like this game then, they're free to like whichever game they want.

    Honestly first thing I hate about this game is annoying bitches yes they're not girls but bitches, totally screwed up in head, same goes for the wimpy protagonist lol I'm repeating the same thing, but what can I say his actions make want to puke, gulping down threats......... let's stop it will be a spoiler if say one more word.

    I just hope MC handle everything without being a wimpy guy, I know he will somehow handle everything cuz he's the protagonist with the legendary plot armour, so that's my pucked up review you like my review or dislike doesn't matter it was my honest opinion.

    One star for art.

    Another one for animation.

    Half star for plot.

    Quater star for one girl (that Latina) she was the only likeable in this series IMO.

    There's no option for 2.75* so I will go with 3stars.

    This is so well written and engaging that I don't even care whether it's a smut game or not. All the characters so far are great, I've laughed out loud quite a few times already and even on a less realistic engine the subtle emotions portrayed sometimes are just there to be interpreted rather than explained (at one point the mc is clearly very moved by a comment and you just can feel it rather than having it force fed to you).

    Because of all this, every other aspect, whether average or not is still enough for me to give this a 5 star review.

    Go Wild Cats!

    I have played many honey select games and always though that it would have been great idea if someone did a sports genre story and here it is
    I have just played this game and it was one of the best I have ever played easily one of my top games to play
    Not only does it have great character models but the story of each character is different and intresting each one of the character show develop in this story and you are easily bonding with their stories
    The animations are good
    Currently for V0.2 it has 3 lewd animations and they last and also are hot scenes
    I'm looking foward to this game and hope that it continues to deliver I highly reccomend this one
