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

Written after playing the v0.9.3 update

This is my first review for a game here, mainly because I just prefer writting my opinion on the thread than actually giving games a more thought out rating, but this game IMO deserves a more developed opinion from my part.

First I wanna start with the good:
- The renders
The game has some amazing renders, most of the characters are pretty good looking except some that aren't really my cup of tea, this alone makes the game worth it in my opinion, and sadly, it's the only real positive I can think off.

The neutral aspects, you can make an argument for these to be either good or bad
- The sex aspect of the game
This game gets to it pretty quickly and you can basically fuck who you want and the scenes are pretty hot, bear in mind, I'm not playing all of the possible routes as my first playthrough with games with so many characters always is with the ones I like the most only, but the ones I've seen are good.
- The ammount of characters
The game has a lot, and I mean A LOT of female characters, too much to develop some of them so you just a get to know well a some of them, the positive is most of the characters get scenes pretty quickly.

- The story and the writting
Oh boy, the story as a whole gets pretty interesting but sadly the game is not that good at telling it, which wouldn't bother me that much given how this is the devs first game and the writting is something that can be improved as the game progresses but it just is too over the place with a lot of cuts to meet other characters to fuck lol.

The bad
- The main character
It's basically a Gary Stu, he has no real personality rather than being a good person, he gets some back story to make him seem not that perfect but it really doesn't serve to the development of his character but rather to introduce new people. He serves as emotional support to allmost all of the female characters while never been really affected by it, he is the top prospect basketball recruit even if he barely trains and a lot of other things that really make the MC unbelivable, and that's in part helped by the next point.

-The pacing
This is by far the thing that annoys me the most because it simply breaks my suspension of disbelief, and trust me, as a fan of college basketball there's some BIG things this game gets wrong but it wouldn't be a problem if it weren't for this. TOO MUCH SHIT HAPPENS IN A SINGLE DAY, it feels like the days are 32 hours or even longer, not even a guy who has nothing to do could do as much things as the MC does in the game, let alone the best college athlete in the country, IMHO the 9 days this game currently have should be something around 13 days or even more, given how a top recruit in basketball lasts two semesters in college and so much has happened that it feels imposible to this game to have a story that lasts 10 months; some days are fine but others, like the day where are just so full of events it feels incredibly unnatural.

This game has a lot going for it, the story is somewhat intersting and the renders are great, but sadly, the game aims at being at the equilibrium of the Nukige games and the Story driven games, but instead ends up jumping back and forth between both sides and hasn't found that sweet spot. Overall I give it a 6/10 so far, honestly, I think the main flaw just can't be fixed in this game unless there's some big change, but I'm looking forward to see how this game continues developing as the positives and knowing the writting can get better make the game interesting enough to follow.

I love this game. The main character is smart, kind, and generally an all-around good person. There is a 1/2 poly path, so you don't have to lie and cheat to see the content (better if full poly, but I get that doesn't appeal to everyone). The story is engaging, the characters are loveable, just 10/10, really. I play this game to feel good as well as for the porn

Outstanding game with excellent character development and a likeable MC! Must play! Great renders, several well developed story paths and overall a 10 out of 10 ! Developer releases regularly, is a one man show and releases excellent content!

This VN had so much promise in its earlier versions; beautiful models and rendering, an interesting story, some mystery and intrigue. I was genuinely captivated to the point I could ignore the lack of actual choice, or the fact the MC seemed to be the pinnacle of human evolution with his Jason Bourne like decision making when playing basketball (the few times he does) or his Jesus like personality.

Unfortunately, as the story progressed and it became more and more ridiculous along with multitudes of new characters being introduced and pushing the current and more interesting characters to the fringes, I lost interest.

I found myself skipping dialogue because I frankly didn't care about the story anymore, it was no longer believable or relatable. I think it was also because, the characters I was interested in (i.e. the ones we are introduced to the earliest) started being involved less and less. I think this is a good example where quality is better than quantity, in terms of characters and their development.

I think the developer/creator is extremely talented and would like to thank them profusely for making the game, some beautiful characters and providing me with something to help me during a particularly tough year (as I'm sure it has been for everyone, including the dev). I will continue to check future versions just incase certain characters become more involved and the story becomes less about some high level college conspiracy and more about a more realistic (as far as VN's go) college experience albeit for a sports star.

You play as a "demigod" basketball player who loses in a 1 vs 4 fight but almost fck every girl you will see and is loved by everyone. The renders are god tier. but the plot is on some part retarded and mostly doesnt revolve around basketball and is more about politics and money.

You are awesome! You are amazing! You are the best person I've ever met! You can add 1k more synonims, and that's how girls talk in this game, they have no personality.
Writing and story becomes so boring and dull so early, I stopped paying attention for whatever happening.
If not outstanding renders and animations it would be even lower. They are just top notch.
Pros:
+Great renders and overall picture quality

Cons:
-Uninteresting and dull story
-Feels like girls have no personality
-Most girls have unrealistic oversized boobs

The game starts off super well and I was pretty hyped for what the game could be because at the time there were only like four girls and they were all hot. However, the game gets real fucking stupid real fucking quick.

Pros:
The girls are hot.
Renders are nice.
Some of the girls are pretty cool characters.

Cons:
The story gets so convoluted and starts adding super high stakes and conspiracies out of nowhere.
So many girls are in the game you lose track of them.
Keeps adding new girls when he hasn't even fleshed out the ones already in the game.
Story feels like it has no direction whatsoever.
Girls fall in love with MC at first sight and immediately down to join a harem.
Pacing

I'm so surprised at how good this game is doing when it feels more confusing than anything to play the game. Every update surprises me for the wrong reasons. First its flashbacks to your real mother, you wanna impregnate women for money, then the dean and you might have problems, coach wants to bang you, teacher wants to bang you, turns out dean's nephew fucking hates you, nephew jumps you at an event, you get arrested. Nothing is built up in this game whatsoever so nothing feels genuine. Pretty lazy writing which sucks cuz the renders are dope.

It's pretty good.


The good:
+Pretty good renders
the renders are high quality and the art is well done.

+Great pacing
Too oftens you'll see games in the genre spend hours before getting some juicy h-scenes. this game does pacing in a really good way. it builds tension but gives you enough to not want to start skipping dialogue to get something.

+Good amount of content
the dev had some delays, but overall compared to other games in the genre this game gets content in a very reasonable rate and already have plenty of it.
+No stupid minigames
C'mon, 99 times out of 100 they are awful. them not being in the game is a big plus in my book.


The mediocre:
~Writing
MC is a Mary Sue type of character that has very little flaws, the flaws he does have are presented in a positive-ish way, he never pays for his mistakes, he doesn't have a single truly bad trait.
Every single girl he meets wants him and likes him, every single "holy shit, am I actually ok in join the harem?" moment is gone too quickly to feel reasonable.
The phrase "you are a beautiful girl with good personality" repeats WAYY to often and is seriously very cringe inducing, there are other ways to compliment a girl.
Overall the quality of the writing is mediocre at best and gets very cringe from time to time, but it is better than the average quality in the genre.


TL;DR
Overall this is a high quality VN with plenty of good qualities and great moments, his glaring flaw is mediocre writing but thats pretty much standard in the genre.
If you can get over some cringy moments its overall a great experience. give it a try.

The game starts off promising and there is plenty of erotic material before there are too many girls to keep track of

However, it is worth noting that what makes sex scenes hot is the presence of tension. When all tension is removed, the eroticism vanishes. So the fact that every girl the MC meets wants to bang him no matter what, and there is another new girl around every corner, dilutes the sex to the point of being boring, especially since the main girl is one you have to stay with, and she wants you to sleep with all the girls. You can't even really pick between the girls, there is just a parade of pussy with an occasional "decline advances" button.

Let's just say you find a girl or two you like- cool, except now you have to cycle through 17 other girls before the girl you like has a scene again.

The scope is often better when it is kept limited. More ends up being less here, as I feel the eroticism is basically gone in the last few updates.

It's obvious the developer is prolific and a hard worker- if he learns how to repeatedly build and release tension, he could be one of the best developers out there.

After sex scene 23, it's worth asking the question- what makes sex scene 24 interesting, or what gives it tension?

It's a pretty good game for fapping, the girls are hot and there is tons of sex. The story is pretty nonsensical and basically consists of girl meeting MC and immediately falling in love with him/agreeing to share him with 10 other girls. There's some kind of story here but the dialogue got annoying to me so I just started skipping to next scene.

Review for version - 0.9.2

Animation and renders - 10/10. Nicely done, High quality but poor angles like Mc is 10 feet tall and all the girls are like 3-4 . This could be corrected to improve the experience .

I am not going to lie. I enjoyed playing this game first 1-6 days. After that and now, slowly i am beginning to lose interest. Story is not keeping much entertained these days. Too much vanilla romance especially that sister . Since, dev openly said no incest ever in his game, adding Sister part to game, and literally 100's of lines of cringy dialogues between sister and MC is irritating. I would have been ok if sis was a LI. This game - it's like a tv series where they just drag out more and more seasons.
I was hoping for Lebron James etc life style when i started this game. Playing a young talent , winning games after games etc and where the girls lust over Mc. But this game as of now, has soo much vanilla romance , little actual basketball league.


All that said, i love this developer and i wish him good luck with the game.
I might try later after 1 or 2 years , when our MC's team wins the basketball league championship. Hope it gets a very good ending.

I started off loving this VN because of its premise and visuals. However the story got more and more ridiculous, to the point where it got really distracting.

Let's get the problems out of the way first:
- Your character starts off as Jesus. He has no flaws, is popular, every girl loves him. In other VNs like Being a DIK, you start off as a maggot and have to prove yourself, so we can see the evolution of the character. Here, you're already God, everyone can't stop mentioning how awesome you are, how they've read about you etc. That is generally fine, but we as readers never get to witness this. It's to be taken for granted.
- Early on, you get to cheat on your GF, which sets up some exciting intrigue about whether you'll get caught. However this is soon ruined when your shy GF suddenly is fine with you cheating on her and engaging in polygamy. Every time you bang a new girl, your GF commends you for "helping others". This is so implausible it's just funny.
- The side stories, about finding your real mom etc are not really engaging, especially due to the incredible amount of characters thrown in. Seriously, you barely get to meet one character before the author throw half a dozen more at you. Every few scenes theres a new character waiting around the corner, all of which fall into the predictable pattern of thinking you're God incarnate.
- The plot involving the antagonist (Ryker i think) is not very engaging.
- You also have no real choices to make... every choice is rather pointless since it doean't affect the story or your future interaction with the characters. Why add choice if its pointless?
- Considering the rather underwhelming story, you'd think they'd compensate with more sex scenes. However I feel I experienced more forced exposition, duckface kisses and over the shoulder camera renders (hugs) than anything else.. it just wen't downhill really fast.

That being said, I think the developer is undoubtedly talented, but this is not worthy of a 5 star. Come on, after experiencing Being a DIK, Acting Lessons, etc.. the bar is set higher than this and there needs to be more effort at least story wise for this to be considered memorable or even replayable.

Regarding updates history, dev behavior and how the VN turned out, I changed my rating.

Too much new characters added before enough progression has been made with those already there. Some very bad redesigns of already existing characters that often stripped them from their uniqueness;

A note as hard as the disappointment hit me like a truck.

Speaking frienkly, I prayed when this game started off. The animations and models are awesome! Especially Shauna! Oh, I just fell in love! But these duck lips are a little embarrassing! And what confuses me most of all is this lack of SHOES! Really. At the bowling alley, they all stand barefoot on the street! Ohmy! I was just laughing like crazy! Is it really that hard to add? (I'm not kidding here, I'm really wondering if it's really difficult). You just don't need to add stripper heels to everyone, well, give them sneakers at least! well, it's a pity when the girls in the alley stand barefoot and there against the background of broken glass bottles = D.
Well This game cannot be compared with life, it’s stupid to even try. MC God who can say simply "hey you - I'm waiting for you undressed in bed in 5 minutes" and so it will be even after seeing him for the first time, and this is a fact. But perhaps that is why such games are needed. Unfortunately, starting in week two, I lost the main storyline and just got confused by an endless number of girls, each of whom claim to have sex with an MC. The spark of this game is lost - the relationship between Shauna, MC and Jamie. And I don't even know how to get my interest back in this game. Maybe during a basketball game, the roof of the gym will collapse and most of the characters will cease to exist?
It seems that the author simply does not know what to do next with a dramatic situation, except how to pile up the number of characters. This is utopia. I can advise him to read "The Thirty-Six Dramatic Situations" by Georges Polti - a classic textbook for all directors and screenwriters in the world.

Still not the best. (My English is bad) the game is great, the road is good, the girlfriend and her best friend .... excellent. I hope you can fuck the sister, but hey, stepmom first. the bad boys have the right touch, a murder I would not like, a rape either, a kidnapping and a near rape maybe yes. I like the trans content, but I feel that there is a little more missing (although surely more is coming). To be able to have a harem and a party that ends in an orgy would love me, I don't know if it's the ending, because I would like to see situations in college that involve sex or Bj in class. I don't know much more to say, the character models are great, the curves of the girls hypnotize.

UPDATE:

I started to read the guide well in case I had missed scenes with the stepmother / Sister. It broke my heart that there is no incest because of the character models and the affection that I develop. I hope you can at least fuck the coach. Harper is the character that I have the most affection for her.

PS. v0.9.2 - I'm changing my rating from 4 stars to 3 stars.

• The dialogs have that air of primitivity, consisting mostly of brief sentences - 5-6 words per sentence.
• MC is insensitive & trite. The talks are repetitive, long-winded and not interesting.
• The story goes either bland & boring, or just ridiculous.

And, to be honest, the characters' looks range mostly from mildly ugly to silly to scary.

Conclusion: It was (mostly) fun to play first 2-3 days; and then it gradually becomes unplayable IMO.

My previous (4 stars) rating text:

Many interesting characters, good visuals, and at least some of the girls are quite sexy.

Rich story (which is one of the most enjoyable things in such games) . All would be excellent, but some moments can be a bit long-winded, and some decisions seem stupid.

For example, I play (Day 1-8 v0.8.3) always No Cheating Way and being not interested in banging old ladies; but when Rachael says we need to have a long talk, she eventually does not say almost anything except her usual annoying bullshit.

And - surprise! - the MC buys that shit (being lied to and manipulated into a long talk, when she could give him all the news in one phrase) and decides to work for her (moving furniture and whatnot, really? He could spend his time with much better use and profit.) Not mentioning that "the cheerleading greeting" would give him quite a leverage against Charles, and all that moving is quite ridiculous.

Moreover, MC brings Jamie to discuss that old ladies banging with Rachael, even though I chose to be not interested in that. WTF? So, around the day of tryouts, the story starts to loose its sense and congruency.

It's a pity, as before that I loved this game.

I'm gonna preface this with saying - do you enjoy being absolutely crowded by an impossible number of girls with the same bonestructure and eyes looking up at you ALL THE TIME in mindless adoration (as if you are 75 meters tall and they are 2) - then you are going to love this. If not, best move on.

It starts off strong - you have a relationship with this cute girl, which rapidly evolves into a polygamous with another one. Okay, I'm with you so far. Not really realistic how it all goes down, but what VN game actually is right?

Next thing you know, you are introduced to college, and EVERYONE knows who you are and EVERY SINGLE girl wants to get in your pants, for no apparent reason. By the current chapter it's impossible to even recognize 60% of them, and the quantity demands that you dont give a fuck about any of them or anything anyone has to say. Who gives a fuck when it all ends up being a polygamous utopia anyhow?

A man juggling even 3 women is farfetched at best. Handling 20+ women? gtfo here. Not even Johnny Depp gets this much pussy I can guarantee that.

MC, according to every single woman ever is straight out of a catholic story about a saint - who just happens to fuck every girl he meets in the ass, but he deserves it right? he's entitled to right?
The girls personalities, critical thinking skills, their own will? Non existent.
The game could have been really good. It's renders are nice, a lot of work is put into it. The writing is good - if you don't care about the overarching story or believability. Or the fact that the author clearly has no experience/understanding of relationships or womens psyche.

I was a fan when this thing started off. It has regrettably ended up being a dumpsterfire and the rating is not at all justified today.

Amazing game, great characters, and a good story. This team is doing an excellent job, the renders are super smooth, and each character has his own personality full of surprises. I can't wait to have another version to play!!!

Cannot overstate how much I love this VN!! Take a minute and check this one out! Every update gets better and is so well done renders are crisp and the story had me hooked Braindrop got it right IMO good balance and can't wait to see more from Braindrop in the future.
