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

I was a fan of this VN when it just came out: It was something that felt new, fresh, the obligated GF who you cannot dump was never of my liking but at least had a charismatic and fun personality, and all the girls you met had some distinct variety.
As the game progressed, it got worse and worse. The storyline went from 'fictional/fantastic' to 'ridiculous/over the top' too fast. Too many things happening at once , all the girls eventually get the same personality (worshipers who treat MC as a god in a ridiculous way), and despite being harem there's way too many girls, so many that you just end up getting quantity over quality. (which sucks, cause every girl had an potential interesting story when you just met them, then it just falls flat).

It also didn't help that the author is a self-proclaimed 'contrarian', so instead of taking (the initial) constructive criticism by fans who actually loved the game, he just kept adding more of what annoyed people, which resulted in cartoonish expressions from the girls that made them look unappealing.

It's sad cause this one got so much potential and I was rooting for it, but IMO it gets worse with every update.

Started out good, but dev basically started putting no to minimal effort into the game long ago. He also would do literally the opposite of what people - including supporters - asked. One example people asked to cut back on the stupid duckfaces, instead he increased using them. He was also asked to stop introducing so many LIs (there were already so many it was impossible to keep track) - instead he started making more and not even giving them real names (just colors based on color clothes they wear.) Releases came less often and became smaller - went a very long time at one time. Quality went down in many ways over time. Not at all recommended.

First off I'll say, wow, there is a lot of content here.

Regarding the art, the renders are high quality and the animations are all very smooth. Nearly all of the girls are very attractive with plenty of lewd content.

On the subject of story, its passable. It doesn't always feel like there is much depth. There are plenty of stretches where it just feels like filler to get from one lewd scene to the next. Most of your choices don't feel like they matter much, basically just "do you want to fuck/keep fucking this person?" Additionally every relationship comes on a light speed. There is practically no build up before they are deeply, madly in love with the MC. But thats not really out of the ordinary.

My biggest complaint has got to be pacing. I mean, damn, every single day in the game has WAY too much packed into it. I know this is just a game, a bit of fantasy, but every single day has WAY too much packed into it. It really breaks the immersion, for me personally I found myself constantly thinking "damn you can't keep adding things into this day, just push it to the next!" After day 9 or 10 there is a message about a planned rework and thus you're jumped forward to day 31 or 32, so it seemed like the dev realized things needed to be spread out over more time, but that rework hasn't happened yet. Also, the days that follow that message are just as jam packed which makes it feel like the lesson wasn't really learned.

The quality of the art and the earnest attempt at a reasonable story place this game above the vast majority. The lack of meaningful choices, pacing issues, and overall absence of real depth keep it out of the elite tier.

This is one of those games where there's just the illusion of choice, and whilst that illusion remains strong in the first chapter it seems like a really high quality and strong game. But the illusion breaks and the cracks quickly appear. The girls have no personality. They just want to suck your dick. The choices have zero impact. Its just "do you want to fuck this girl" then off you go. And once you do there's no way out. I slept with Rachael a couple times now every time shes around my dick is in her vagina whether I want to sleep with her or not. Found myself tapping through the boring story to get to the scenes but theres so many mindless boring drones just in the scene for the sake of it that even then I was racing through them. Premise is great but this is BORING. Ffs your GFs sister, who was basically sexually assaulted by you in the early game (no hate if you went that route, but thats what it was) is so madly in love with you that she becomes depressed and moves out because you wont let her join your harem or fuck her again until she apologies to her sister. That's the level of nuance youve got here

An absolute mess of a Narrative with so many people introduced you barely remember who is what.
The plot could be pulled from any P*rnhub title with as much depth, the only choice you get is "Will I bang it or not" , the render style has changed to the point that the women literally look like ducks .
Avoid this mess of a title, now they are redoing Season 1 you know where this title is heading....

New version
Well.... that was painful. Why? why would you go back and redo your entire game just to make it so mutch worse?! Was there really no one around to tell him to NOT do this?! The original game was one of my favourites here, the characters was good, the lewd scenes was good and varied and tones of different characters to interact with. This new version is just a 100% downgrade from the original. I say give this game a pass and play something else, the game will be abandoned in a year when all support have dried up anyway.

Old Version
You know what, its not bad. Have been playing the game almost from the first release and i really like the story and characters. Renders are good and i find most of the hate the game receives now are blown a little out of proportion. Sure the story did take a little dip, but its still interesting and I'm looking forward to every update.
I recommend it to anyone and their is a lot of good content for anyone interested.

The story is an utter mess. The developer keeps cramming in useless characters or girls just because. They all have the same personality; of they fall flat in love with the main character and want to have sex with him.

The animations are not bad, but all the girls have this pucker lip or duck face syndrome. It's hard to look at sometimes.

The game started off some good but I think due to the real life issues that the developer has gone through, it has affected his writing or direction of the game.

There are better harem games out there, this isn't one of them, this is a convoluted mess.

I only give it 2 stars because it's one of the very first light novels I played.

The renderings are not ugly but are not incredible either, the story starts well but the more we advance the more unrealistic it becomes, literally the MC can have all the girls on the planet, there are too many people, 99% of whom are feminine, so 3/4 of the characters have no personality, the more I play, the less I want to finish it, too bad my crush when I discovered the light novels several years ago.

The narrative is pretty poor, the mc is pretty much a worshipped god, even jesus is less revered then this guy. There is literally no narrative plot of this MC and hes extremely unrelatable. One bonus is that this has good renders, its one of the only parts of which I can commend.
You can compare this to other high end renpy games.

Being a dik has humour, good renders and a good narrative plot with a decently relatable MC

Desert Stalker has one of the best renders in the genre, a good post apocalyptic story, and doesnt hide from what it is, a male power fantasy, thats fine if the game admits it which it does.

This game has not one single relatable character, the humour is nonexistent, the plot is erratic because it gets retconned every new big patch, the girls are uninteresting but I can forgive all of that, all of this shit if the MC wasnt such a bore, Ive never seen such a boring MC in these type of games. There is no rhyme or reason why this guy is interesting at all, you might think "Well hes an aspiring and upcoming basketball player" and I can accept that IF the girls didnt treat this guy like hes the second coming of jesus mixed with the emperor of warhammer 40k.

a boring game, too many characters, plus we only have one type of face, we have the impression that all the girls are part of the same family, they all look the same
we really get lost in this game with each episode we introduce new characters while forgetting the main ones
an aesthetically very beautiful game but it remains soulless

This was an interesting experience ... (up till chapter 11) . Pretty great on the visual and sex scenes aspect obviously , but some things just annoy you over so many hours of the game . I know what kind of game it is , an adult one , so within almost all of them , there is that element of everyone brainwashing themselves that what the MC does is good or fine ...

But god , this felt like cult indoctrination from start to finish . It feels as if every dialogue with each woman , is about how good , great even , person you are . How perfect, how selfless . These women all parrot the same weird koolaid from your first official girlfriend : "You're god's gift to humanity , so it's ok to share you , you'll make everyone so happy" !

And honestly , being an adult game , even that would be fine , if it did not lead to them droning on about it each scenes , instead of diving more directly to the plot line of said scene . Girl A got some info and news for you moving along the plot and sex scenes , well nope FIRST let's talk for 15 mins about how great of a person you are . This goes way beyond padding and could use editing .
This would make me root against my character , and for the villains , if they weren't so purposefully lame and mean for no good reason .

I'm also not sure about the way the plot dragged its feet over the obviously upcoming lesbian sharing (leading into threesome) between at least two pairs of characters . It's being mentioned , teased , discussed among the concerned girls . Even when they finally agreed on it , somehow it's in flux , limbo with weird hangup to slow the pace and milk it further.

And on a more hilarious note , stop giving me new Houses all the time . I believe at one point (but I'm not sure) , we went to one new house , didn't even use it one day , before being offered a new one and moving into it

So.. this is a tricky one to rate/review. Season 1 (the real one not the imaginary one that Season 2 is based on but we'll get to that) is one of the best VNs I've ever played. The girls are gorgeous and varied, the writing was solid, and the story had heart to it. There was a really good balance of sexy times to story. Then the dev apparently got a lobotomy and made the most epic clusterfuck of a season 2 that's maybe ever been made. It's based of an apparently WILDLY different season 1 that literally doesn't exist and no one will probably ever see. This was incredibly jarring come straight from the end of season 1. Suddenly, you jump from the morning of day 10 to "it's been a month." That's one of many dramatic changes and only the tip of the iceberg of the clusterfuckery you'll experience. *Review 1/5*

Some times games can be fun or not so fun, or can be the good, the bad,
or the ugly. This game is one of the good ones, it's about a boy named
Ethan and he has a girlfriend Jamie and they haven't gone all the way just
yet, and he also has a best friend who is named Shauna. He is number
one in basketball and goes to a college where the red carpet
is rolled out for him, and throughout the game he meets more
and more women, also his GF decides she wants him to please
the women that truly deserve him giving him an option for
open relationship with meaningful girls.

The script is good and the graphics are very nice, the drawings look
very life like and the bodies are very attractive. So I have decided
to give the game 4 out of 5 star rating.

This is quite a divisive game...it goes against convention, it challenges the moral and ethical paths that we are brainwashed and conditioned into following. It's a game that breaks down borders and expands possibilities into areas that are almost 'alien' to us.
But I like the idea of love without boundaries, rules and regulations, religious monogamy, restrictions that force millions of people to live in loveless marriages and feel guilty if they stray. I've never been a 'free love' guy, but this game creates a universe that is a complete improvement over the one I am currently living in! It's not a perfect universe, but it's an improvement over all the fighting, growing poverty, rising energy bills, inflation bursting food prices that exist in my reality.
So, this game is my escape and I love it.

Great game, cool story. I like MC character so much, girls are also awesome. I love Jaimie, Zoe and Bailey. Very nice graphics and animation. Some girls have to big tits for my taste, but its just my preference. I love superstar vibe.
TL;DR: GOD TIER Harem game.

Started out with a very good story but went downhill quick.

It's a harem novel and harem is what you get. Jamie (the girlfriend) literally forces MC to be in a polyamorous relationship and keeps trying to force him into more and more women. There's not a choice when she asks Shauna (the best friend) to be part of it, so she just does and when deciding to be in a relationship with other women aside from her, there are not many "Yes" "No"s, just mostly "Yes" or "Maybe Later".

Even if you decide not build a harem and just stick with the 2 women you can't run away from, all dialog revolves around you being in a harem, even if you are not. People and even the MC himself talk like he's fucking the entire cast and some. Choices matter very little and just unlock more lewd scenes without consequences.

First I just wanted t o start by saying normally I don't like harems games, Yet I enjoyed this alot more than I thought.

TLDR : One of the better harem games out there and that is from someone that doesn't like harems. If you don't think of this game as anything serious but something to enjoy it is quite enjoyable
Story : Pro's

I read some say it's not good or just average or whatever. While I don't think the story is anything amazing I found it pretty good especially for a harem game. I like how the story always was moving forward despite having issues here and there. It wasn't anything serious and it isn't meant to be something serious. As long as you don't get upset from realism mistakes here and there because it isn't suppose to be a serious story it is quite enjoyable.

Story Con's :
The main thing I didn't like is how with the main girls it is forced in the story to try and get them pregnant . With the MC being 18 and how early into the Basketball season / his college life at WVM I wish it was a choice and maybe only forced at a later date after some time has passed in the story.

Another thing that felt odd to me but works for the type of game it is. After a certain point in the story basically all the girls want t o magically work for the MC and help him out being part of his support team to help him so he can focus on basketball. The only issue I have with this is majority of them are in college with him.

Character pros :
Pretty much every character gets some kind of character development which is nice. Iven played games with interesting characters that left me wanting character development especially some harem games.



Character Con's : How the harem is formed doesn't feel very natural to me but forced. Especially as it seems every girl is okay with it. Even the rare ones that show some resistance towards an open relationship dont for very long and the MC doesn't really try to anything to convince them over time they just magically are okay with it. The only other con while I like the 2 main girls you are forced to be with them while every other girl you get a choice.

This is neither a Con or Pro for me but how every girl wants the MC and how the MC is basically good at everything some may not like. But I feel it works in the context of the story and what type of game it is. Because it's suppose to be more of an enjoyable game and not a serious one which t his game pulls off.

Animations : the lewd scenes scenes are pretty damn good maybe not the best but up there. There is alot of them sometimes too often at parts of the story but you know what kind of game this game.

I'm not expected something story-wise.
This is for me the kind of game you play after playing a more deep and dark adult game and you want to cool off with more light stuff and straight to the point of playing those : The adult contents.

So for me, it's deliver in that point, a lot de sex scene with a huge amount of girl, it was a good release, the purpose of the harem game.
I didn't read the dialogue after the beginning cause it's way too much unrealistic, I rather imagine myself what they say.

The reason was already explain in the negative reviews, Gary Stu/Flawless MC, the GF who became out of nowhere a Cuck, and the repetitive pattern with the conversations with the girls : Puppy Eyes -> Hug -> Kiss -> Sex -> Repeat.

Not a single girl was unatractive to me, but special mention to :
- Raechel, the physically fictionnal version of Stiffler's mom
- Zoe, perfect mix between cute and slutty at the same time.
- Willowbelle, probably the main reason I will check for the update, cause we didn't have the chance to bang her yet. That silver eyes brunette is freakin fine.

One of the best VN i ever played. I can't wait for what coming next.
At the beginning i was afraid about the chara design and no sound stuff but it get off my head really fast. the story is entertaining and characters are really attractive. A real good job here

Why is this popular? One of the worst games ive seen on this website. MC is godlike being, guru of some sect and every woman he meets instantly want to fuck and worship him. Don't mind sharing MC with 150 other girls, even encourage it. Too unrealistic even for horny teenagers. Girls with zero personality, plastic bodies and everyone the same.
