VN - Ren'Py - WVM [S2 Ch.1 Ep.13 B7] [Braindrop]

I, as a matter of fact, don't like this game much. On a personal scale of mine i could very well have given it less stars but i don't think it would have been fair. I might not like the artistic choices of this game, but i can't deny its quality.

Now, it's a very long game, it has good renders, an incredible lot of characters, loads of content, sex scenes anywhere, one of the biggest harem imaginable, it must have required a crazy amount of work just to carry it to this actual point.

So, the devs have my boundless esteem for his effort and for their archievements.

Yet, i don't like this game much. Why? Well, overall because it's such an exagerate male success fantasy that i can't relate in the slightest either with the main character or the story. MC, either in rauchy VNs or in any other kind of story is supposed to face struggles that he/she can only overcome after some personal growth. You know, the so called character arc. And this game 'thinks' it did so, but i feel it really didn't.

MC is a star, the best Basketball debutant of his year, the star of his highschool and every vagina equipped living being (and some penis equipped too) wants to be fucked by him... and i can live with that. Most of VNs MCs are hunk dudes who mass wet pussies all around them. It's kinda the point.

But he's also supernice to everyone, smarth, wise, devoted, he always have the clear vision on everything, he always has the upper hand in any situation, he always know the smoothest thing to say, barely any doubt at any give time, he gets everything just beingh there and being able to breath from free houses to free cars to, of course, loads and loads of pussy. He even get payed to fuck some extra pussy on the side.

Really, any downside? He was given to adoption? Boo Hoo...

So getting in this MCs shoes feels reather boring to me. Not even empowering, which would be what the whole male power fantasy should be about. It's just a (rather long) sequence of unearned way too good things that happen... and make you yawn.

But i think what bothers me the most are the ladies in this game. There are some of them who are actually among the cutests and more appetizing girls among this games and since MC can only space from a super harem route to an even more super harem route, he ends up getting them. You won't be left wanting.

So, what's wrong with that? Well. As often happens when there is some "main" love interest and other "lesser" love interest, you end up having rather little content for the ladies you prefer, since usually they are not the "main" love interests who tend to fall much more flat.

And my goodness, not only the main girls here fall deadly flat and your gameplay is a lot stuck with them, totally unavoidable, but they are also kinda disturbing.

One is a trans, which is nothing bad and if you prefer not you can have her to be a natural born girl. It's a plus i think, because it's a bravish choice and if i really really had do choice, i'd very rather chose a genuine trans over a 'futa' girl. Yet it is still something not for every taste and you can't avoid the involvment.

The other, Jamie, is, to put it simple, the creepiest creep i've ever seen in a game. She looks cute at first sight, but the more i look at her the more she looks so damn weird on every single aspect of her face and body. She behave in a plainly insane way that feels so unnerving and her "never ever happening in a lifetime" decision to encourage MC to fuck anything that moves makes her feel even more like a psychopath. I mean it would really feel appropriate to me that at the end of the game the big plot twist is that Jamie has been from the start a sick murderous mental.

On top of that every single girl in the game, or at last the far most of them, spend all the time looking at the MC with puppy eyes begging for attention and trying to steal some physical contact, hoping to have their ovaries smashed by MC's oversize baton. And every other dialog line from them is a hearted praise on how wonderful, fantastic, excepitional, unic the MC is and how their lives would be miserable and unbearable without the MC.

Really. Too much doesn't even start to describe this VN experience.

With all porn games, there's the inescapable reality that the dialogue for every single giggling school girl and lonesome house wife was probably written by a man. You try to forget that fact while rubbing one out, but that's only possible when the writing displays a certain level of curiosity, a realism that allows the characters to spring from the page and create their own personhood. And I can't think of a game that was more clearly written by a dude than this one.

Before I explain, I'll get into the pros. The sex scenes are ample, look good, and are occasionally creative. There is a large amount of content, and you can fuck everyone without limitations (which is also, unfortunately, a con).

The game has a simple premise: you are a savant basketball player at a second-rate college, and the whole school is perennially in your debt for choosing to stoop so low as to accept their offer. If you're a fan of basketball like me, don't get too happy. The MC's basketball career is a constant afterthought. He is incredibly unmotivated despite supposedly being the best in the country. His life in no way reflects that of a student athlete, and you never even learn what position he plays. How he remains so skilled despite spending all day running errands for his girlfriends is baffling, but it falls in line with the central theme of the game that the MC is an infallible, humble, and personality-devoid god who gets everything he wants always.

I played this game for multiple hours, initially charmed by the competent graphics as well as Jaime's bashful personality and childish infatuation with the MC. That charm quickly wore off once I realized every single woman in the game treats him like that. Every exchange between characters is identical. The girl stares wide-eyed at the MC and gives a monologue about how much he means to her, and how lucky she is to know him. The MC gives a curt "no problem," and the girl apologizes for gushing at him. Then, they have sex. I can't stress this enough: This happens literally every time he speaks to anyone. There is no driving force in any of the conversations other than a grown woman showering praise on the player. None of the characters have any lives outside of being a loyal servant to the MC.

There is no story. Stories tend to revolve around conflict, and conflict does not exist in this game. A conflict is hinted at early on in the game when the player is tempted to cheat on his girlfriend, but the girlfriend promptly decides the MC is simply too special to keep to herself, and becomes his pimp as well as his lover. The game searches for the path of least resistance in all scenarios, and it has become so lengthy that the total lack of any motivation or story structure is causing it to cave in on itself. There's simply nowhere to go. How do you continue a story about a perfect guy who everyone loves? How will he develop, or change as a person, when he is already the most competent man in the world?

By the time I got to yet another scene of multiple female characters staring blankly at me and telling me how special I was, I turned it off. It was too creepy. I felt myself drowning in the validation from these lifeless 3D characters. I couldn't help but think what sort of mind would crave that kind of tedious praise, and it bummed me out. I imagined a developer writing not for an audience, but for himself. It felt like I had walked into someone's therapy session.

These games are supposed to make you horny. Instead, WVM made me profoundly sad.

The most important issue is this game needs a good writer. Dialogues are bad. Yes, even for a harem game. Other issues for me;

- Annoying MC who saying always things like "its's okay, no problem, my bad". It's annoying.
- A great wasted incest potential. Even though there are implications for incest, it never happens. Someone who doesn't know there is no incest can think that there will be. It seems like a developing incest relationship in other games. But it's not.
- Creepy facial expressions. Most of the girls are really pretty and renders are good but some of their expressions really creepy. For example Jamie, our girlfriend and some might call the female main character has a weird face.

WVM (v.0.10.0) is a conventional, overhyped harem power fantasy, a game with not much to offer, outside its length. To classify WVM as a game is a stretch, as there’s no gameplay of any sort, other than deciding which girls to pursue. There might as well be a on/off switch in the beginning of the game whether the player wants to fuck every character and love interest without consequences. There’s also no music or sound to speak of, and the animations are short, jittery 2-3 second loops. The sex isn’t erotic or visually appealing in the slightest. The renders vary from dull and flat (a shot of three girls standing around a hallway talking), to borderline terrifying (the tongue-kissing and those weird, creepy duck face expressions on Jamie). The decent and diverse character designs are wasted on those warped, exaggerated faces.

An upcoming update is supposed to remedy these shortcomings, however, there isn’t a definite date on the remastering process, which is long overdue and should take first priority over any updates offering new material.

The main story concerns basketball wunderkind, Ethan Moncree, and his journey at a second-choice college. He’s the star and saving hero of the fledgling WVM campus. Early on, Ethan is involved in a relationship with his girlfriend Jamie, and is tempted to cheat on her with his childhood friend Shauna. If he sticks to Jamie, the game allows you to have sex with the other girls without the residual guilt. If he doesn’t stick with one girl, this sets him on a path of least resistance, and the sluice gates open to all the college girls of every type, shy nerds and flamboyant cheerleaders. They all want to hug him after every single interaction all the time and pepper him with indecipherable babytalk. Later, Ethan is scouted by Rachael, a blond businesswoman, and through her work, he becomes an active sperm donor and an expert at impregnating women. Jamie becomes the loyal queen in this scenario, where she recruits women to have sex with King Ethan in a one-sided polyamorous relationship starring himself. Ethan is exploited not only by the higher institution of learning, but by everyone else, but he doesn't care. There’s also drama between the characters, not getting along with each other, and a series of bizarre coincidences regarding Ethan's backstory that's meant to add up to something, but this is just for appearance’s sake; everything works out in the end.

There really isn’t a plot to this game, just a loose series of contrivances to get a certain character to meet Ethan. The sports theme has no relevance to the story other than the location. The game is badly written, and unimaginative to the point where it seems every individual in the WVM universe are inarticulate, intellectually and emotionally stunted caricatures, with no fears or desires outside the immediate. It’s a power fantasy, except the MC doesn’t want any power. The game is plain as vanilla in terms of sexual kinks and fetishes (no incest), and lacking a sense propulsion or narrative drive. The tires spin endlessly in one place, as Ethan bounces from girl to girl with no clear goal in mind. WVM is in dire need of editing, the script could be cut down by half, and nothing of importance would be lost. The plotting is nonsensical and not thought out in the slightest. Every scene is written the exact same way, a conversation happens between one character, then another, until a sex scene happens. Character arcs don't exist, it feels as if Ethan wanders from school to home to bed, and back again, hoping he’ll find what he needs to find in the days allotted to him without any planning.

We never learn why the the main character is supposed to be so attractive in the first place. We don’t even know what he looks like. MC’s supposed to be a star, but he never plays or leads well during practice. His personality is uninteresting and dull. MC’s supposed to be a sex god, but he sucks in bed. There's never a moment where he offers any insights into why women chase after him, nor does he exhibit any qualities of a star athlete. For example, how does he handle the stresses of his unique situation, and manage his harem of women between his hectic career? Through his support system of girls who care about him for some reason? He’s a cipher, a total blank. Other than dreams and in the brief explanations we get from his step-mother, Azel, as well as Willow (his step-sister?), we never get a sense of who he is. In fact, we don’t get a sense of any characters. Every girl is interchangeable with the other, too. The description of a character from this game can be summed up by two characteristics: what they look like, and their relation to the MC: Harper is Ethan’s pale coach, Skye is Ethan’s tomboyish friend, Azel is Ethan’s kind mom, and so on.

With a game with so many characters, there is the expectation that a majority of them would be defined and have some psychological depth, but each scene of each day is a race for the mind-numbing sex. When the sex inevitably happens, since there’s no buildup to those scenes, nor any connection to the characters, we’re not invested in any of these characters. The sex scenes can hardly be called erotic. The game isn’t even good as pornography. It's a wonder anyone cares about this game. WVM is much like its title; WVM doesn’t stand for anything in particular, it’s just WVM.

July 2023 Update

So obviously no-one's ever going to see this update, buried as it is beneath all the other reviews, but this one's just for me. It's mostly so that I can lambast myself for being an absolute fucking idiot when it comes to what makes a game good. 4 stars for this... I'm almost embarrassed.

I've obviously replayed the game recently and I could barely get through it. The dialogue was grating, the pacing was incredibly erratic (I know the dev is fixing this and making it so each in-game day doesn't feel like a whole fucking week but it's still not in at the time of writing and it was supposed to come out early 2023 so it's fair game,) the girls are almost all one-note and boring, the MC is simultaneously the biggest pussy of all time and an absolute gigachad ubermensch, one of the only relationships I was actually having fun watching progress (Azel) is actually never going to officially happen despite being telegraphed harder than every other relationship combined, every other man is fucking braindead and/or a piece of shit, the sex is boring, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera... I'm sure I could go on given enough time but I think I've made my point clear. This is not a good game.

Combine all that with the dev's work ethic and attitude and it ceases to even be an average game. I was wrong to ever give it a pass and there are other games out there which also give off that simple, uncomplicated happiness I talked about in my original review without making the whole thing feel soulless and shallow.

I said in my original review that this is a game I could play over and over again, and I couldn't have been more wrong. I'll probably never pick it up after this, and getting through it required actual effort on my part.

Oh, and there's next to no basketball despite that being one of its main selling points. What a fucking mess.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This an uncomplicated game. There are no real stakes or struggles, nothing close to meaningful conflict or hardship. It's a straight power fantasy, with the MC being a Gary Stu that can do no wrong and is loved by everyone.

But I don't think that's a bad thing in this case. I'm not even sure exactly why, but this game just makes me feel good. It's a simple story where things go right and you get all the girls. There's no weird bullshit, no headache-inducing side characters to ruin the experience, none of the usual pitfalls in this type of game.

Not to say that it's perfect or anything of the sort. It's not going to redefine the genre or hit me with a meaningful message that'll stick with me for the rest of my life, but it's a game I can play over and over again whenever I want to simply feel happy, no strings attached.

And, personally, that's something I need.

So what you're all saying is that i should like this game if i like unrealistic harem scenarios, where every girl in sight wants a piece of me? Then you're all wrong. I really wanted to like this game, but i can't. Not in its current state. After 2 years in development, WVM for me feels more like an introduction to a harem game then actual harem game. Very boring and far too long introduction with not enough actual porn.

Don't get me wrong, i don't mind "plot" and dialogues but this is just too much. I dont mind talking with my girls, learning more about them, maybe helping them with their problems but not when that's 90% of everything im doing. An average hour spent with this game consists 50 minutes of mostly skippable dialogues and 10 minutes of sex scenes. And that's if we're lucky. The "plot" is all over the place. We're basically basketball Jesus going to some shitty college for no reason whatsoever. Everyone knows about us, everyone wants to deal with us and mostly everyone treats us like a god. The overall setting is completely irrelevant. There is pretty much no normal college life shown here. You could guess that we're going to play a lot of basketball but were not. Even the main character is noticing a few times that he is getting rusty. Literally the only reason i can come up with, why we're going to that specific college is that it would be harder to create a harem in more popular school. There are few forced drama moments and plots but they add nothing. I actually think that there is no need for any drama in a game about unrealistic scenario. MC pretty much every other night have weird dreams about his past (cuz he has amnesia or something, he doesn't remember anything from his childhood), those segments are just bad. Finding your long lost sister and mother was a promising storyline but it's executed in very poor way. All those serious, drama moments felt very fake and out of place. I love a good harem, where every girl is happy and is ok with sharing me but in this regard WVM is the prime example of quantity over quality. It's far better to have 10 fleshed out girls then 40 or idon'tknowhowmany generic and not interesting ones. Some of those girls doesn't seem to have any reason to live outside of serving main protagonist. There is no incest in the game but there are those awkward kissing scenes with MC step mom and maybe less awkward kissing scenes with other family members. What for? Are they only exists to stir up people? If were going full fantasy with the game then why not use the most obvious fantasy? It doesn't make a lot of sense. And because of that, those family related girls serve no real purpose. They're just there, doing nothing. You can't romance them, you can't put them in your harem. So what are they doing in harem porn game? If we're going full harem why some potential very promising candidates are being left out? Its a waste. It's like the dev is trying too hard to make a fairly realistic game but at the same time, he is creating something which doesn't feel real at all.

Render quality is good and it's getting better later on. Its nothing too crazy, some others game have better renders but it's sufficient. Same story with animations. They're solid. The actual sex scenes however sometimes felt really emotionless and honestly not really entertaining. They're pretty basic, not too long and not rewarding enough. Very small attention to details. Dialogues during those scenes also could be better. There is one thing which for me is hilarious. In many renders we can see girls barefoot but there is almost zero sexual action with feets. What is this? Why they don't wear any shoes most of the time both inside and outside? MC should already developed huge foot fetish because of that but nothing happens. Huge pain. But then, out of nowhere, you can see girl wearing shoes IN BED! Girls models are a mixed bag, some look better than the others. There is some diversity in body types and some distinguished details so that's nice. But for my taste too many skinny girls. I have to mention that MC girlfriend Jamie face is very odd looking, sometimes borderline creepy. Her eyes are far too big and her mouth is just uhhh. For comparison sake, our second girlfriend face looks way better. There is no music and no sounds in the game. With this kind of funding this is unacceptable.

I dont know, maybe in 10 years when WVM will be finished and more actual sex content will be aded this will be a good harem game, but in current state it's just a big disappointment. Right know this is more like a 20 hours long talking simulator then actual porn game with college life and basketball. This is not a bad game, there are few nice and/or funny moments and scenes you can enjoy but it's just not enough. But the plot and overall writing, they just don't help. I'm huge harem fan and if i don't like WVM that much that just means WVM does something wrong.

The story is a mess and jumps around, and there are too many characters that all get half a second on screen before the story moves on. This isnt an engaging story, this is a mess. I was hoping itd focus on the MC's basketball plot but it spends all it's time having the MC get introduced to new characters and receiving hugs. the game also flirts around with incest which was clearly intended but is left out for the usual reason with no patch in sight. Do not recommend

this game has a lot of great characters, a lot of content, one of the few games i keep checking for updates, the plot is decent, school setting is already overdone, but thanks to the girls who actually feel unique its barely noticeable.

Very boring, bad dialogs, bad story, and no real choices. The renders ok, but many girls face is... strange. But this is just a harem simulator for kids, nothing more.
So this game is very overated, I am dissapointed.

Fellow F95 user who I trusted as a tastemaker over the last year pulled a prank on me and recommend me this so might just as well leave a review.

First of all, not only MC is a boring lifeless guy with zero personality, it's a clear projection from a beta what kind of Chad he wants to be should he has a chance to be one. Dull dialogues with no choices that seem to matter. I was promised a sport centric AVN but this one is definitely not it.

The girls look somewhat okay in the beginning but as I continued clicking they look more bizzare and ugly. They often have this lifeless expression as if they're being brainwashed. We've joked about how another famous dev reuse same three expressions in his works but at least the expressions are somewhat cute. Meanwhile nothing is cute about seeing multiple girls give you their lifeless stare as if someone cast a spell on them.

The girls also develop beaks for mouth as I continue the "story", I actually went back and checked early version of the girls and compare them. I expected way more for something with over 2k backers.

I love the fact you dont see above the shoulders because they always look like someone you want to punch. This Male Protagonist is NOT short and scrawny like 99% of all other male protagonist in other games.
The game knocked it out of the park with this decision. It might be because the protagonist is playing basketball but I would like see other games do it aswell. #StopScrawnyShortProtagonist #AtLeastBeTheSameHeightAsTheTallestFemale #AtLeast50/50NotBoth

The story and characters are great, but In my opinion some female characters need to be redone visually for example Jasmine, Katie, Penelope and Talismah need to be updated. It not like we sex other girls because of their personality. Other than that I cant wait for the next update.

I guess I have a somewhat controversial opinion about this game, but I'll try to explain my reasoning below.

First the pro points:
Render quality is pretty high. You won't find any grainy pictures in this one.
Whilst these aren't hugely important to me, the game does come with very well realized animations.
Text quality is very solid, no engrish or anything as far as a non-native-speaker like me can tell.
There's a lot of content, many girls, impressive playtime (caveats apply, see below).
Lots of content also means lots of adult content, some of which is quite spicy.

Now to the bad points:
Asset selection is a bit over the place. I've been dabbling around with DAZ myself, so I know how hard it is to find the content you want/need, so it's not something I would lower the score for, but it's still worth mentioning.
Many of the girls are flat out ugly to me (highly subjective, of course, so also not affecting the score). And there ARE some hotties.
Choices are mostly of the boring "I wanna see that girl's content" variety and otherwise lack consequence.
And now for the elephant in the room, which made me yawn and quit - something that shouldn't happen in an adult game, imo - the plot.
Or, maybe plot is the wrong term, I don't have a problem with the plot itself, as silly as it may be, but it's ... extremely verbose.
I wrote above that there are many girls, and that's definately the case, but here's an example of how there can be too much of a good thing.
All these girls have their own threads in the carpet that is the plot, and boy, the author is going to make sure you stay in the loop. Even "downvoting" a girl often won't stop her from appearing again and again.
It gets almost comical. You sit in a room. A girl appears. Minutes of talking. Another girl appears and joins the conversation. More minutes. Yet ANOTHER girl, the talking drags on and on. Cut to the next situation that plays out in the same fashion. Sometimes, between those dialogues, there's a kinky scene, followed by more dialogue.
It's just too much. There's a nice Bill Burr comedy where he describes listening to a woman, and that's exactly how I feel in this game.
Eventually, I started skipping the text, but even then, there's FAR too much of it. Even the skipping takes too long.
In my opinion, a good adult VN should use the text to setup conversations that make what's happening more exciting, and not story dump an endless avalanche of inconsequential information on you. My gold standard for this is EvaKiss' first game.
Obviously, quite a few people seem to enjoy the "slice of life" approach WVM takes, but for me, I'm out.

This game has quickly risen through my personal rankings for top VNs, definitely has a place in top 3 I've ever played, might even take the number one spot when all is said and done. The models and characters are amazing, love the story, especially once it really takes off in the later days. There's already a lot of content there (9 days as of the time I'm writing this) but I kinda just want it to go on forever and not end xD gonna be a sad but amazing day when the final version comes.

I have completed this game twice: going full cheat route with woman friend and going full "never want to have relationship with anyone except my GF" with trans friend. v0.9.5.1

I have really mixed feelings about the game and also about the reviews this game has. I don't quite understand lots of those reviews with same message "best game on F95" and "not a single game has same quality", but well... that's their opinion and here I will post my thoughts.

First of all I want to speak about the flaw of this game, it is absolutely not natural. First 3 days are absolutely boring, bad written and made me want to ragequit at that point, but I wanted to see where it all goes and I really wanted to share my opinion, though, it may be hard to write and may be not really useful to some folks, but I hope it will for those who care! After that it begins to openup a little and gets better a bit, you kinda get involved and have the urge to get to the end to see what happens next. While on your way to "the story" thing you will be disrupted by a lot of events and bad dialogues.

At first when you launch this game you feel like it is going to be that VN game where you have some kind of family story, driven by basketball topic and gaining fame, skill etc. while going through some events and stuff. So this is the first big NO here. This game has nothing to do with story and personal development of characters. If you ever wanted to play game where EVERY WOMAN wants to fuck with you every time you come nearby, to breed you children, to become your doll forever then this is a big YES for you.

Big story short: you begin as a star, super popular, super famous, best basketball player ever in the history of that world who has just finished school and goes into high school which had 0 wins in previous basketball season. You have girlfriend, girl/trans friend (you can choose before the game starts) and step mom. You are kind, brave, strong, healthy, friendly, good man, responsible and many many many others good things these girls tell about you and this is a BIG NO or you could say BIG LIE. You are nothing but a living sexmachine who doesn't have his own mind, can't say no (because if you say no, later on somehow it will still become a yes) and you don't own your destiny. You follow what other NPC's have for you, you can't change events, your answers really doesn't have impact on your life, only on how many sex content you will see. (going for cheat route is the best btw) Somehow you can manage 20 different things to do during a single evening, fucking every single girl who wanted to have sex or who you wanted to fuck at that day, be "nice" to everyone, solving "hard life stuff" and "helping". Be aware, this has no meaning. Before you go and play this make your mindset for a harem, where every woman is your fuckable object and you are a sex monster. See a girl for the first time? Fuck her. She is shy? Fuck her hand then. You have lots of things to do and can't manage your time? Fuck with that, fuck everyone around you, you will get exactly everywhere on time and not miss a single minute out there. Heh... really had to say that, that's one of my disappointment for this game, because I had high expectations and they were ruined right of the bat.

Next is visuals. They get better from day to day, last 3 days have really nice stuff to look at, first days are not that good. What I don't like throughout the game - you are obsessed with boobs and asses. Every time you can you try to look at one of "sweet" spot. Every single damn time. It is so tiring. Also, lots of same frames with girls' faces turned to you, they don't feel realistic at all, when you see same face expression almost every minute. Talking about nudity, penis feels unrealistic at all, no pre-cum, as big as elephant's thing, every scene you have is finished with 1 or 2 animations and almost everytime it is just put your dick inside, one-two-three, cum wherever you want, sex scene finished. No foreplay, no dialogue, no love while having sex, nothing, it is just plain put in, fuck, cum, put out, get dressed. Really disappointed with this, because after playing some others less popular titles with much better sex scenes and character development and storyline... I never had a thought such a game can become a hit, because it lacks all of that in comparison.

Girls. There are a lot of girls in your life, they pop out everywhere, they are hungry for your cock and you choose whether to give it to them or not. If you want to have pleasant gameplay and get more good emotions go for having every single of them. (cheat route) I really hate original GF, both in how she looks and her personality too. I wish Shauna was GF and the GF (I have already forgotten her name, damn xD) was that friend. Shaunda is more beautiful, has better personality and better story so far and I kinda like her. Don't like Jamie at all, she makes you to fuck Shauna later despite of which dialogue options you choose, you can't change that, it is written so that you will have threesome any way you play this. Jamie is a psycho - wants you to fuck and breed with everyone around, because if you make happy others, then she is happy too. Ye ye. Such a silly stuff is everywhere here. I really loved the renders for Shauna, Natalie, Zoe, Cedey, Rainn, Mabel and Belle. There were 3 or 4 women I absolutely hate both for looks and for how they interact with us, but I haven't remembered their names, so, just saying, girls are good and beautiful here, though still dummies for reasons I have described at the start of review.

At first I wanted to rate this game as 4 (actually 3.5 would fit better) but after replaying it with extra loyal path and Shauna being trans I had to remove one star. You get absolutely same content with less sex scenes (because you refuse to fuck everyone or even date) and you get all the same scenes with Jamie and Shauna (now Shaunda has small dick instead of pussy in every sex scene). Your choices doesn't change story, they don't even make some events to not happen on have a different result. This hurt a lot.

So, tl;dr what we've got here:
- bad personality of characters
- bad dialogues
- lots of simple sex scenes
- no impact on story when going different choices
+ good girls renders
- you start game already beinga star
- very little basketball content
- girls are just a fuckable objects, not meant to have some story and impact on your character personality
- MC is just a fucking sumerman machine, without emotions, feelings and flaws, which wants to make everything with his own hands, kinda of a hero for everyone, but still nobody is hero for him

So, as you see, I got lost of minuses and only one plus. Yes, visual stuff is the only one that you can expect to be not bad here...

What I want to be changed/added/remade bu dev are such things:
- make MC alive, he deserves to be more alive and feeling both in dialogues and in sex scenes too
- there is a scene where Shauna pulls her "dirty" hand toward your face and says "you can lick it" and I wanted to do it at that moment, but you don't have an option, just joke her around and no action can be done to change it, you have to had an option to do such small things with girls
- make girls do something in their life, not just going everywhere with MC and asking for sex, it felt that they don't have life, only MCs dick in their head and life
- add scenes with cuddling and spending time with girls without sex scenes and nudity all the time, give them some life, not just nudity and baby baby baby stuff

Probably I just felt betrayed with how this game seems to look and how it is really inside. Still I recommend to try it out for everyone who loves VNs, just be careful not to misjudge the game by its cover, inside is not that bright as it may seem.

[reviewed as of Day 9, v0.9.5.1]

TLDR; This is my favorite game on this site. 5/5, play this game if you haven't already.


To get more into the details, I'll go over my positives first before ending off with the negatives.

Pros:

• Renders: The renders in this game are gorgeous. The girls are all hot, none of the bodies look absurd except for Rachel but that's just my opinion, I'm sure she's someone's favorite because she's still pretty hot. The renders are all varied and cover lots of body types and looks, I will touch on a specific aspect of that some more with my final Pro down below.
  
  Importantly, the game also doesn't skimp on the MC render either. They avoid what I will call "Hideous Main Character Syndrome", or HMCS, that so many games suffer from (looking at you Midlife Crisis). They do this, not just by not even giving the MC a face, but they also make him tall, muscular, and give him a giant dong. Nothing turns me off like playing a character with HMCS.
  
  
• Character Writing: The character writing and dialogue is not perfect in this game. I will bring it up again in the cons section but for now, I want to mention some things I appreciated. First off, I like that it's actually somewhat believable how the MC attracts so many women. Is it taken to a level of absurdity? Yes, it's a porn game. But the fact that the MC is kind, caring, confident, smart, attractive etc... makes it believable that people would fall for him.
  
  So many games have MCs who are fucking braindead morons with HMCS spouting nothing but memes, and women drop their panties at the first sight of them. I also appreciate that there are some decently written male characters in this game, though they admittedly fall by the wayside as more LIs are introduced.
  
  Finally, I really love that the LIs are all aware of the Harem. No forced and trite drama between LIs trying to be the MC's favorite or arguments caused by someone in the Harem not knowing about the other girls. Clear communication and boundaries are the keys to poly relationships in real life, and this game knows that (although it's dialed up to 11 because porn game).
  
  
• Setting/Plot: A lot of games are set in high schools or college, but a lot of them just kind of follow the same boring structure of the MC just trying to make his way through classes and somehow attracting a Harem. The added twist of the MC in WVM being a star celebrity athlete on a full-ride scholarship is really interesting, and I found some of the aspects that dealt with that side of the plot to be some of the most interesting. I hope future updates will finally get into it a bit more.
  
  
• Content: This game has a boat-load of content. There are hours and hours of game to get through and many faps to be had along the way. Even if you skip all the story and dialogue (I don't recommend it), you'll still get value out of this game because of the volume and quality of h-scenes. And unlike Honey Select games, it's not just the same 3 sex positions and camera angles for each scene.
  
  
• TRANS CONTENT: Finally, I want to gush about the Trans content in this game. I'm so fuckin' sick of games on this site that have the futa/trans or trap tags and little more than zero content for it. It's so frustrating when you download a game with that tag and, in 6+ hours of content, there are only one or two renders (not even a full scene!) of futa/trans content -- sometimes even in completed games.
  
  This game, assuming you opt into the trans content, has not 1, not 2, but 3 trans characters! One of them being one of the main girls in the game with some of the most content out of everyone. This is such a fucking treat and it's a big reason why this game is one of my favorites. Shauna and Penny are best girls.

Cons:

• Writing: Okay it's not all pretty. I said I would get into this a bit in the Cons section so here we are. While most of the time, characters behave believably, there are some moments where this game's writing made me cringe. Particularly at the beginning of the game, when Shauna, Jaime, and Azel just stand around the MC and talk about how amazing he is. They just shower him with praise for things the player had nothing to do with and it's just cringy. You can write characters who love eachother without just telling the players directly how much and why they love you at the very beginning of the game. This happens a few times over the course of the story where characters will just sit around and praise the MC for even minor things like just not being a total dickhead. It's a little much.
  
  I also wish the MC had at least 1 more character flaw, even just a minor one. He seems a little too perfect aside from his occasional mistake like:

• Misc little stuff:
  • The release schedule for this game is pretty slow. Before this version [v0.9.5.1], I last played this game like more than a year ago and barely anything has been added. I ended just before the pool party started, and now over a year later, the pool party is basically just ending. That's way too slow and this game will lose a lot of support if it keeps up that bad release schedule
  • It's a little weird how this game has no incest but constantly has the MC kissing his relatives. Like I'm fine with no incest in a game, this game has so much content and so many LIs that it's not needed. But if you're not going to have incest, maybe don't have your MC make out with their mom?
  • I mentioned this before, but it kinda sucks how many of the male characters get tossed aside. I really liked Ayden and I liked Damien at first as well. Dubaku seems nice but he's quiet, and I basically forget that Lee or Mackey exist until they are on-screen. This game has some decent male characters but they have no screen time except for the ones you're supposed to hate.

All-in-all, the positives far outweigh the negatives for this game, and even if it literally never gets anymore updates and the dev abandons it, I would still consider this a top 5 adult game. It's that good. Play it.

Other than the Godzilla dick and a few personal opinions on the models, the game is very good.

The story is strong and has good flow. The backstory has good depth as does the backstory for the girls.

Honestly the only reason it took me so long to try this game out was the main girlfriend model. The lips just are weird.

My main complaint is the aforementioned Godzilla dick. I understand wanting to not put a grub worm on the main protagonist, but damn make it somewhat realistic. It is actually a major turn off for me and if it was not for the story and other girls, I would probably have dropped this game already.

Pros:
*MC can be played in a way that actually shows concern for his romantic partners.
*Game has a well conceived and executed view of consent.
*LI are cute and somewhat diverse.
*Romance is taken seriously in the game and it gives you those positive feels.
*Taking a hard stance on not including sexual content for Incest content but still allowing for some sexual vibe b/t those characters creates a fun tension.

Cons:
*Not a lot of actual game elements
*Plot lacks enough hooks to be interesting on its own.
*Loyalty route has less content than cheating
*Lack of consequence.
*Games pacing is very sporadic / nonsensical

Suggestions:
*Enhance game elements like stats points or currency.
*Provide a larger benefit for the loyalty path play-through; (I.e. one super cute and innocent gal who will only join you on that path.)
*Add some benefits and consequences to both routes

Very good game, with an excellent story. Characters with a good background and good development so far. The game introduces a mix of romance and sex, along with drama that doesn't make VN too repetitive.

This game is a general microcosm of the world we live in. Everyone gets a participation trophy, everyone is special, success is guaranteed and there are no consequences to your actions. VNs all have a degree of escapism and separation from reality but this takes it to another level. Every woman is docile, willing to sacrifice her very personality at the altar of sex. The MC has no flaws, overcomes all issues and is a general plank of wood.

I know the response to this is that it is one of the most popular VNs out there so I have to be an idiot to not like it. I actually see all the popularity in this game as a symptom to the bigger problem of a world where no expectations and instant gratification is all that matters.

I will say the initial story had somewhat of a decent hook but now it is just plain garbage. Renders are cute and unique so it was worthy of 2 stars but man people, develop some standards and stop throwing money at garbage you only incentivize more garbage.

This game is just fantastic. I had no idea what I was getting into when I started it up the first time, but it became one of those games that was impossible to put down , like a good book. I don't know at what point I stopped even caring about the amount of sex in the game (and there is a lot) and became engrossed with the story.

Anyone giving this game a bad review is doing so based on very specific complaints because the overall package is one of the best ive played on this site.

It's not going to win any awards for "most realistic" scenario, but the amount of heart in this game makes it stand out from the pack.

That seems like an odd thing to say about a porn game but at some point I stopped viewing it as a porn game and just got wrapped up in all the characters and how heartwarming and uplifting the way they interact with each other was.

Found myself genuinely caring about each of the girls and the MC is just an all around great guy which was refreshing. yes there are a lot of women throwing themselves at him, yes its unrealistic, but the MC is likeable enough that you can suspend your disbelief. Just the three in the promo graphic at the top of the page are enough to make this game special.

And Jaime, at first was rolling my eyes a bit "oh here we go, stuck up prude girlfriend" and then bam out of nowhere she is winning "Best Girlfriend Ever" contests all over the place. Just absolutely the best girlfriend character in any game ive played on this site.

Shauna is also just adorable as fuck, could totally understand why she is the MCs best friend (and more), shes the kind of girl anyone would be lucky to have in their life and that most people would hunt down and kill anyone who hurt her.

and Azel (hated the name so changed it) is just the most caring, selfless, loyal, kindhearted and warm character that its impossible not to feel what the MC feels for her. if everyone had a mom like her the world would be a better place.

The game just makes you feel good after playing it, the characters are lovable and the story is upbeat and happy even when dealing with some heavy subjects. Yes there is a lot of suspension of disbelief required over certain topics. like im pretty sure the game is set on Mars given how long the days appear to be based on how much you fit into each day. but after about 15 minutes into the game you stop caring.

This game was nothing that I was expecting when I downloaded it and has become one of my favorites to date. with so many characters you would think it would be confusing to follow them all or easy to find a favorite, but each one of the girls is easy to find loveable and memorable in their own way even the more side character ones who have had some time to develop are lovely.

Just such a refreshing upbeat heartwarming change from all the darker and grittier stories a lot of the better games on this site go with. Not something I generally expect in an adult VN
