Braindrop Hey, just read your most recent post on Patreon as I was checking for the next release date, and I felt compelled to tell you why I love your game. It's pretty simple:
The women are absolutely beautiful, they're unique people with good characterization, they very very clearly *want* what they're doing with the MC. Furthermore, the MC is a good person, which helps in believing he deserves to be loved. I often feel like if virtually any one of them were real, and felt about me the way they feel about the MC, I couldn't help but be the happiest man alive. I get to live vicariously through the character a little, and experience that particular joy not from just one of them, but all of them.
You mentioned in your post about the MC being a Gary Stu, and while he's excelled in everything we've seen him try, for the most part, that kind of only fits into 3 categories: Basketball, Social Interaction, and Sex. The only class he takes is one based primarily off of social interaction. Maybe he struggles with science and math a little? Maybe he's not good at building things, or drawing, or cooking? I can't see how any of these, beyond the school subjects, could create an obstacle in the story you have going, so they might not be relevant flaws, but there's room for them to exist. Also - while he apports himself well in the fight, you resisted the temptation to have him win against all odds, and he very clearly needed help to avoid the situation becoming a horrible one. I'm not saying you need to build anything into the story to showcase his flaws, but if it bothers you even a little that the MC might be considered a Gary Stu by some, I wanted to point out there's plenty of room to fix that. And even if you don't fix it, it's clear that he can't do absolutely everything himself, and he's leaning on the people around him to handle what he can't.
Anyway, keep up the great work. The characters in this game never fail to make my day.
