VN - Ren'Py - WVM [S2 Ch. 1 Ep. 13 B5] [Braindrop]

Pros.
#1 The setting
College basketball, stuff happening behind the scenes, cheerleaders, lots and lots of sex...nuff said.

#2 The characters
Almost every character in this game, especially the women, are well designed and written, their backstories are really interesting and make me keep coming back hoping more will be revealed / resolved.

#3 The way LGBT characters are portrayed
Having a trans sibling myself and knowing full well how some adult games overly fetishize trans characters I was a little hesitant to play the game when I saw they would be included, but I was pleasantly surprised, Shauna, Penny, and Sky are very well written and fleshed out characters. Braindrop did good



Cons.
#1 The protagonist
If you don't like Mary Sue characters ( I personally don't) you won't like the main character, pretty much everything is handed to him on a silver platter throughout the story, and even when he's in a situation where he "loses" he still wins in the end.

#2 The dialogue
I want to preface this by saying, no not all of the writing is bad, but the writing that is really sticks out to me personally. There is a lot of dialogue between characters where it's basically the same thing rehashed over and over from past exchanges and it just gets annoying after a while.

#3 No gay and incest options
Pretty self-explanatory
This is only a minor negative, having gay and or incest options doesn't a good game make, but I would have liked to of seen Braindrops take on gay and incestuous relationship options.
And yes I know why incest isn't in the game, but still humph

Overall I really like this game, definitely in my top 10, If the rating system wasn't 1-5 I would give it a solid 8/10.

I had a good time playing this game. It's an interesting male harem (and celebrity) fantasy. It's a lot of fun playing somebody who is mind-bogglingly popular lol. A very guilty pleasure, to say the least.

I liked that it gave you some control over the setting and the relationships at certain points. Want a trans relationship? You can. Don't? You can choose that. Want a lot of girl-on-girl? You can. Don't... you get the point.

There's a lot of variety in personality and body type with the girls. Is it perfect? No, take character models for instance. I think I'd prefer that the mouth for our first-introduced-girlfriend be reworked - it's distracting to me - especially on such a sweetheart of lady. But that's not the end of the world and of course that's just my personal taste.

Some constructive criticism incoming.

I notice the word "perfect" coming up a lot in dialogue. The word is really over-used.

There is a lot of dialogue. A lot. Try to make it more conversational and pithy.

There's also certain patterns and trends that can take one out of the story a bit. There's like monologue's where the girls just stand in front of the MC and go on a bit about how great the MC is. That's a bit awkward. I get it that it feeds into a power fantasy, but I still think it's a bit much. It also reduces the girls a bit, they REALLY seem to need the MC... a LOT.

Another pattern, the girls really unload on the MC about... a lot of insecurities. I think there was one cheerleader who didn't do this and it was such a rare thing that it was very refreshing. And the fixer, she seems to buck the trend.

Another pattern, there's so much being packed into the story that it hurts the pacing. Friendly advice - slow it down a bit. I think it would have been a bit more plausible if the MC made more time to practice and help the coach get the team rolling... yes even in this type of game, lol. The MC doesn't need to tackle so much in one day, doesn't need to involve themselves into everything, doesn't need to solve everyone's problems... this is lamp-shaded a bit later on in the game but that doesn't help much, for my tastes. I mean, this poor guy barely has any time to breath. The game may be addressing this with setting up folks to help out the MC with being a celebrity, etc., ... that's probably a good move.

There's so many characters tossed at us, they don't get a lot of time to distinguish themselves... faces become forgettable. My advice is just give them each some space to leave an impression.

There really is a LOT of story jam packed into the time frame. It's fun and I like it. But how it weaves along, especially with the constant house migration, it kinda leaves an impression that the train tracks are being laid barely in time for the train to keep moving. This may not be the case, I'm just saying it leaves that impression. There's the house thing and we've also moved from one villian to the next in rapid succession.

I like the coach, she's a sweetie and she cares about the team. I don't mind the implausibility of her hugging all over the MC, I get it, for this type of game. Still, the MC latches onto Harper so quick... I would have liked a reason why.

Alright, that's enough for now, I didn't take my own advice about being pithy. I don't expect anybody else to share my opinions, different strokes for different folks. I also don't expect the developer to cater to my whims. This is just one dude's impressions so take it for that.

I enjoyed the game and I'm looking forward to seeing how it continues.

I like the concept but there are some flaws I'd like to adress.

First: There is too much love. What I mean by that is there won't pass a day without everyone saying "I love you" to the MC and vice versa. This is why I like to see more of girls like Kimmy (my favourite in terms of looks/body btw) or someone like Anna, because I won't have to read "I love you" every two to three sentences.

Second: I might be the only one - which is fair - but I don't like the fact that the girlfriend and her sister Elizabeth don't look alike at all. And since the mother said at the end she gave birth to both I'll exclude the option of adoption. So either they accidently switched one of the girls at birth with another baby girl (or both lol) or they just don't look alike at all, which is weird. I mean at least the nose would be good.

Third: I don't like Shaunas's design compared to the other girls. While the girls have more of a 3D-effect, Shauna seems to look more like a plain 2D-character.
Additionally to that I wanna praise the dev for changing Emiko's design or even Zoe's face by using less make-up or even Natalie's look. I appreciate the effort and hope Ruby will get a new look. Didn't really like the old one. And also Penny. Even as a girl I don't like her looks but tbh I don't want to fuck literally every single girl in this game. Although It would be awesome to be able to fuck Vanessa or Veronica.

Fourth: Even though the major hate will be towards guys like Ryker or Kenji, there are some other character's personalities I really dislike. For instance Skye. Forget the whole trans-topic and put that aside. The attitude Skye has as a basketball player is ridiculous. It's like I would go towards Lebron James and challenge him to a 1v1 with a cocky attitude, which Skye basically did - and yet lost twice without any chance against the MC by nearly dying the second time.



The positives:

1. Thank you for allowing me to disable the trans-paths. I'm not into this at all so yeah, big plus.
2. Thank you for the basketball topic. I love this sport and thus like to see any kind of interaction with it.
3. I like the diversity. Normally I'm not someone to say such stuff, as I simply don't care as long the model's looks and their personalities are in my liking, but to see that many black women in a VN is a first for me. And with Kimmy, Emiko, Yuki and Purple there are (at least for now) four gorgeous asian girls. So yeah, that's a plus too I guess. Again not really a big deal for me but I guess you wanted it this way and thus I wanted to give you credit for that dev.
4. I like how even though the main topic is basketball we get to see a huge fight for power within WVM and the city and even a drug lord.

The last point I want to ask for is: I hope we can decide for ourselves if we get pregnancy in this game or not (just like we could decide the No-/Cheat-Path and wether some of the girls are trans or not).
I'm not against the pregnancy in general in these games but usually I like it when the MC is with one girl only, because these harems really don't work for me if there is pregnancy in it. But since you can't avoid the huge harem, at least I'd like to avoid the pregnancies.

Thank you.

Stunning game on every level. Some of the most developed writing, while not super eloquent, that keeps the MC an actually believable person who you want to watch/root for as opposed to just a walking dick like in too many vns. The girls are also incredibly detailed/well done physically as well as decently varied so no matter if you have a specific type(Including futa) or are into all shapes and sizes like myself you'll find something.
It's also incredibly wholesome and heartwarming in a way if you let it be. One of the only VNs I'd call more a light romance than anything else, and definitely one of if not the most effective at it, and the romance itself is very well done, you won't(likely) find yourself cringing at the MC or girls' reaction to what he does to further the plot/push sex scenes which a lot of devs do. Only downside is two of the most attractive girls are out of bounds because Braindrop is beholden to Patreon rules against even step-incest, and while this might change going forward it hasn't been encouraged as a possibility. Usually this would change how effective the game is for me but as I've said the game itself is gold without it
Also the thread itself is very entertaining to page through on occasion without seeing it devolve into(too many) inane arguments

I never review any game I play, but holy shit this game gets a pass and not exactly for a good reason.

Most of the renders are good, some characters are very pretty and the idea of having all girls over you is pretty fun, but damn that's overdoing it.

The main issue of the game is how the story constantly tries way too hard to show how perfect and loved by everyone you are. There has been more than a few times where I literally had to stop reading for a few seconds to process all of the cringy and forced shit that's happening. Sure it's a porn game and irrealistic stuff is bound to happen, but it gets so over the top at times that the protagonist feels strangely disconnected from the other characters, like he's some sort of elevated being or divine entity that is on a league totally different than anyone else's. He has practically no human flaws at all , and pretty much every individual met ends up worshipping him after a little while, if not instantly.

Overall the story has some relatively interesting and unexpected moments, such as that one altercation against Ryker and his guys outside of the bowling alley. However, the rest of the time is spent continuously showing how unflawed the main character is. I'd have no problem with that if it was done moderately, but the game insists SO much on this aspect that it gets very cringy in a very weird (and borderline creepy) way.

Overall, it's currently an okay game with a very good amount of sexual content and quality renders, but I absolutely do not suggest this if you're looking for character development or an interesting and coherent plot.

Very good game thanks lot of emotions i don't want spoil but very interesting characters i love the girls lot different I'm sad I can't continue right now haha but it's ok i can wait until updates i wonder what happens after all this crazy week.

This is my favorite NSFW game period. Everything about this game is perfect; from the models, to the characters, to the writing, it is all amazing. There is probably nothing more I can really add other than to tell you to play it.

Not going to lie, when I started the game I was a little hesitant. A couple of the character models looked a little... Derpy, and the penis length was, well, huge. Getting past that, though, the story really kept me playing. The characters grew on me, and I found myself enthralled.

What a great game with a great premise. Live out your fantasy as the number 1 chad character and huge harem. All the female characters are uniquely designed, each with somewhat of an interesting backstory. The game offers a multitude of different body types for all different tastes. There is an underlying plot driving the entire story forward, and it's a pretty good one, but you can still get a lot out of playing the game without deep diving into the storyline.
Some cons: When this game was first introduced, BD said one of the things he hated the most while playing other adult games was a female character being introduced but the MC couldn't get with her. He said he was going to correct that in his game, but he's since kind of went back on his words a little which is disappointing because for that brief amount of time I thought 'finally one of us who gets it is behind the engines'. The other thing is the recent changes to his release schedule. When he first started he had a very straightforward release schedule, and I subscribed on patreon to support. Then he started to miss a few release here and there. Some were due to very understandable reasoning. However, there was also times where it was simply he didn't feel like releasing so he pushed back the date. At that point I decided to lower my contribution, but I still enjoyed the product. Now there's basically no set schedule, nothing to hold him accountable but himself. I've seen this story play out once too many times: Kompas, Cheekygimp, Icstor. They will post 'progress reports' on their current work, but once accountability is out the window releases basically come whenever they feel like releasing it. I am still contributing, because again I like the product, but at the lowest tier because I'm holding out to see if a negative pattern forms in the future. But people, remember, we are the CUSTOMERS paying for a product, don't compromise and just settle for anything. I mean, for someone who started out promising weekly updates, there hasn't been anything in almost 3 months. I mean the guy is making almost 22k a month, that's more than most surgeons make! It's time for some accountability besides life updates.
update: what's even the point of having "hard" deadlines if you're just going to toss it aside
update 9/10: what a shocker, BD is sick again.. I work 16 hour days 6 days a week on 4-5 hours of sleep a day and even my immune system is not that bad

Absolutely no idea why it took so long for me to get around and play this and I just have to say......wow

While it is ultra convenient that naturally every female character is attracted to him and they're receptive of the idea of being open, the overall game provides plenty of intrigue and emotion. I can count on one hand the amount of times a game has given me a very visceral reaction and I'm sure the people who have already played through know the scene I'm referring to. At the end of the day, there are satisfying character arcs that we see with some of the girls and I appreciate how the dev displays a very open acceptance of being transgender. Sex aside, the premise is relatively realistic.

The overall graphics and renders are actually pretty solid for a game that provides such a wide range of girls. Frankly, reviews like the one below me that rate a game one star simply because of their dislike of one or a few characters piss me off since it disregards every other aspect of the game the dev has worked on. The animations that are there are relatively smooth, albeit a bit short

The amount of girls to keep up with is a little much but I do think this game heavily outweighs its cons with its overall content. Happy I stumbled onto this game

I don't understand why this game was recommended to me by so many people, first off some of the characters especially the GF character look weird, she looks like they tried to make an anime girl in a 3d game, horrible design choice, the game up to end of day 6 was actually quite good, then it just goes down hill fast, glad I still also have a version of the game that stops at day 6, as i prefer that version. none of the characters are likable, game goes towards building a harem, but seriously I don't want any of them in it. Shauna is the only good designed character, but she is also forgettable, I wouldn't say this is the worst game I ever played, but it certainly bottom 3

Easily one of the best VNs I've played recently. It has a nice feel good story where the MC is just a genuinely nice guy, lots of cute good looking characters and the way their personalities are being developed is exciting to watch.

great game. really enjoyable to have the mc be a good person and the various women in the game make it feel more realistic. great game for someone looking to progress through a story without a ton of decisions that will heavily impact the way the story goes. if you want a vn with plenty of women and not have to worry about messing up, this one is great. 9/10

Fucking best Game ever I am waiting for the update like everyday its probably not coming this month but I still waiting .. I love freckles btw . Waiting for talking with rainn she is cute girl . I am Waiting With No patience

There's a lot of work put into this game, and it shows.

I'll start with the cons, which I think are small deatils, and really not that important in the final experience.


That's pretty much it. The pros, which even if there seem to be less of then, they are far more important to make the game enjoyable:


I'm not sure how it'll go from 0.9.4.2 onwards. The way the story's being settled, I get the vibe that the ending is coming. But there're still many LI choices not yet explored, which could mean there's still a long way before that ending arrives.

Day 9 Review

This game checks all the boxes. Good renders check. Smooth animations check. A wide cast of varied girls check. Enough H-content to get the job done multiple times, check check and check. The story is good enough and decently written. The only thing that lacks is sound and that can get fixed with a mod luckily.

This is one of those rare 5/5 games, there are better games in F95? If we want to get nitpicky, sure. And of course, it depends on personal preference. But as an overall product, this would be in the Top quality (AAA) porn games category for sure. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.

Games like this one make me wish the rankings were out of ten rather than 5, since it's closer to a seven than a six, but 3 stars certainly isn't terrible. To start, the story is good and the relationships cute. It's heartwarming how much everyone cares about each other and how grand life is. From his well known loved ones to new friends at WVM, the protagonist is a hero doing good with his new power as a celebrity athlete in this nowhere university.

Honestly, just based on the first couple of days of the game, it seemed like there was a nice build going and the relationships easy to root for. I was loving the game and characters. I still do for the most part, but as it went on all it ended up doing was...a little too much. Check it out first since I do recommend it. Warning: Scathing review ahead.

A harem game is a harem game, no real need for super realistic relationships here, the idea of any game in the genre is absurd enough with the main character having multiple lovers. The problem with this one is how it first establishes realism in the beginning where it seems to authentically grow within his core three(GF, Mom, Friend), then suddenly balloons into advanced suspension of disbelief when he gets to what may as well be an all female university aside from a couple of gay guys, corrupt asshole pieces of shit or guys already married.

The problem for me isn't the lack of competition because it's not like I'm looking for someone other than the main character to build a harem, the problem is that the game is a bit too perfect in that there are no real paths to be chosen. I attempted a file where I was faithful to your girlfriend the entire game, and the other where I had sex every option I could, and I saw no difference in dialogue or treatment from characters in the main story. If the idea of the author is just to let you pick and choose who you want to see a sex scene with or not, then fine, but there's something weird to me about the lack of consequences.

Whether or not you cheat on GF, she ends up forcing polygamous relationship with MC and other girls. Whether you pursue other girls or not, her sister gets mad she's in an open relationship with you, even if you avoid all sex with other girls. Later on, the game attempts to villify their mother for dissaproving you being in an open relationship with them Not that I'm approving of the mother's own relationship with their father or the idea that the girls should return to live with them in an abusive household, but her argument about the well being of her own daughters in a harem is one check box in the 'not crazy' column I would give her. In another case, the coach seems slightly into MC at first, then her daughter is introduced and her role switches to protective mother. I thought it would have been nice to choose between them based on whether you chose to date the daughter or not as the coach declared herself to be a protective mother, so friend zoning the daughter should result in keeping flirting open with mom. And vice versa. Instead it seems mom is still allowing herself to be touchy feely with MC as he dates her daughter whose heart she tells him not to break? It just feels a bit inconsistent to me is all.

Now as if that wasn't nit picky enough, on to my second large con of the game beyond the main character being a hero and living in a world completely justifying all of his actions ever. The main character can be very irritating at times. The dialogue options allow you some control over how he reacts to others around him, namely the more "villainous" characters. Something that bothers me is his unwarranted animosity towards others in the game. The character wants to scream at the man responsible for his full scholarship at the thought of him considering firing the coach he just met? Why would you lose your shit over that or even be so angry at someone you just met even if they are running their ship poorly? I may be naive and forgiving but thus far, I haven't seen anything particularly vicious about the secondary antagonist. It seems to me almost like there is projection onto this character by the author but there hasn't been enough information given to the audience about him to warrant me agreeing with the treatment our MC gives him. If anything all that I've seen has me feeling more sympathetic towards him and understanding of his seemingly toxic behavior.

Then there's the way the character inner monologues about the girls he's with. Like the daughter of the aforementioned character trying to have sex with the MC in her dad's office and the main character judgementally scoffing at the idea of eating out a stranger when she attempted to 69 him. This coming from the man who fucked his mom's boss within minutes of meeting her and agreed to impregnate other women for her. It's just inconsistent and kind of cunty. He's overly harsh to his new friend that is caught between a rock and a hard place after he already explained to him why he was doing what he had to do, rather than forgiving and helpful as he is with other characters who he actually relates to less. He admits he would have done the exact same thing for his own mom if he was in their shoes, yet their friendship is essentially done after this? I get losing trust but the apparent disdain or even dislike towards him and his family after all is revealed certainly doesn't feel like the same heroic character trying to save every girl in his harem and provide the perfect life for everyone.

My final nitpicky con, way too many characters. To each their own, if the creator wants to tell 50 different stories, fine, but each added girl openly and to the knowledge of every other girl in the game entering this polygamous relationship with the character makes each of their indiviual stories far less interesting. Some amount of secrecy would help me better feel as though our character has earned the harem, rather than been granted it along with everything else he received for choosing to attend this college. Which, if that's the case, which it seems to be, then theres no intrigue in getting to know the girls or develop a relationship with them since the solution is just "You're the star of the school and you're o.k. with me living in your new mansion and you aren't gay or evil? Sign me up for your harem please!". Initially I enjoyed the love story with the childhood best friend, but it peaked right at the start of the game when they reveal their feelings in the shower. Now every scene with her and the GF is just skippable since no character development is made beyond them already being in a threeway relationship and them loving each other. Fine, happy perfect life stories are good and all, but I'm more interested in seeing things develop with characters. That story already paid off several times over, move on. I want to see things progress with your foster mother, or long lost sister and blood mother, or the coach, or your trans teammate(my personal favorite). It's just too many scenes I end up holding skip for in order to see the more interesting parts of the story, which aside from all my bitching and moaning, is pretty interesting.





The pros, oh the pros.
-The story is entertaining, as realistic as it can be for the situation our character is in(aside from the things mentioned), and very interesting. I can't wait to see what happens next. Seriously, it's fun.

-The models are beautiful. Honestly every erotic scene is done well and if that character is your flavor, you won't be disappointed by their eventual sex scene(aside from the bosses daughter getting very little breast attention in my opinion).

-The characters are all loveable(including the MC I bitched about). The content is abundant(though as mentioned, repetitive for the main two GF's). The flow is a bit hectic due to the over abundance of characters and stories, but it isn't overwhelming and much can be avoided if you simply ignore certain girls paths.


I wish I could split this game into two. The first half of the game focusing on your main trio and gradually introducing a few others such as coach andteacher. damn near 5/5. That combined with the mystery of the blood mother and sister, very good stuff.
Second half with too many characters, MC being an irritating scrub at times, girls all jumping over each other to join a harem...2/5. It's really annoying when it wants to be. Skippable. I just ended up fast forwarding the boring parts like I do when I DVR shows.

But if you're looking for a game where you just get to be the absolute shit and shove your dick down every girls throat then have them thank you for it, feel free to give this one a shot as I'm sure it's top tier amongst it's genre. But if you're easily taken out of it by inconsistent character behavior/morality or want to feel like you've truly earned every sex scene, this may not scratch every itch you have. But either way, definitely worth checking out. I recommend it. Probably my harshest review and I apologize to the creator for that as this is truly a fun game with beautiful models, but as far as the entire package "it just wasn't doing for me, dawg." - Randy Jackson

Review at the time of Day 9

This game is pretty darn well made. As of Day 9, there is a pretty substantial amount of content. The renders are well done and the story is engaging without going overboard in my opinion, there are plenty of left turns to shake it up.

One huge plus for me personally is that this game does not require a walkthrough. There aren't going to be any vague moments where a choice in dialogue is going to dead end a route without it being glaringly obvious. I can't stand when I have to break immersion and read through a walkthrough to know if the choice I made is going to mess up a route that I'm interested in.

Games with this amount of content while featuring Trans characters isnt very common in my experience though there could be more scenes with the Trans characters. Also the game gives you an option to turn off Trans which is a plus for the broader audience.

Something to point out to first time players is that the mother routes are extremely slowburners. As of Day 9, other than a short dream sequence, all there is is kissing. Which is fine since I can enjoy a slow burn but just as a heads up for people specifically looking for those scenes, there are none.

There is no shortage of scenes in this game though, with a wide variety of unique models.

The only CON

I do not look to games to be romantic, it does nothing for me. The MC's dialogue in this game is pretty lovey dovey "I care about you so much \ You mean so much to me" kind of stuff just feels bleh.

I do not usually rate games but i felt i need to rate this one. When I play these sort of games I tend to look for an enjoyable characters, with a fun or gripping story. This game didnt do it for me.

The renders and sexy stuff is amazing but damn it takes a long time to get to it. Even midway through a play through i found myself speed clicking for 3-4 mind because I wanted to see some action or sex happen because I was so bored with the games story.

If your into clicking for 2/3 of a game to get to some decent sex scenes then go for it but i going to abstain from this game.

It is hard to rate this VN. I'm not fan of harem VNs with crowds of girls literally throwing themselves at MC. But still, in the case of some VNs of such type, I have to admit that they have their qualities, even if it's not my favorite genre.
But the plot of WNM is extremely boring and stupid even compared to most other harem VNs.

The main character in this VN is a sports star without soul and personality, a white knight who constantly saves damsels in distress and every girl's dream is to be part of his harem.

I think even if harem games are your favorite genre, you can choose others that are more interesting and where the characters are not as extremely shallow as in WVM.

On the other hand, if you are only looking for fap material, I guess WVM can work quite well. The renders are nice, and there are a really large number of girls of different body shapes.

I guess the amount of content and the number of girls is the main thing that makes WVM very popular and I would say that in this respect WVM is really quite unique.
