The other games were just as depressing, the females despite their shitty situations half the time never lose their personalities and are generally defiant of situations and don't mind break lusting for cock. It's a pretty huge change to other erotic RPGs.
Edit: Oh another protip for the first boss fight; The witch you play as doesn't really get any spells to start off with you gotts earn em' however she's still REALLY physically powerful despite her appearance & what you'd expect. Buy attack & agility boosts in the store. Tactic for first boss; Buy battle doll bag level 5, buy warriors, berserkers & heroes if I can recall the rest are worthless, buy three attack boosts & one agility boost, the power/attack up rod so you can buff yourself, set damage scale to 350% (Normally you should have this to 200-300% at MOST never anymore you'll set yourself to lose most fights but it does drastically speed them up & even if the witch gets KO'ed you don't get a game over instantly due to the dolls).
TLDR upgrade your shit, use battle dolls. If you struggle especially against the first boss don't worry it evens out really fast as the elpis you acquire icreases exponentially.
