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

I really tried to like the game but damn.. endless dialogues. Spent 1 hour of reading endless texts without anything really happening (except one scene) and then turned it bored off.

I also don't like that the game starts with me being in a relationship so I have to betray my girl all the time. This is not even really a game, you're just clicking text, linear.

This is a classic example of why devs should start small and introduce you slowly into the world instead of guiding you through 200 places and 20 characters in the first hours, that's just hard to stay focused on.

Especially if the story is this generic and all they talk about is how much they like each other because they know each other from childhood, your favourite food, your fear of going to highschool and all of that generic stuff.

Really great game. I love the wide variety of characters--really shows the variety in the real world. Wonderful to have the option for gender fluid characters. Good writing and good sex scenes! Great job!

Everything about this game I love. I highly recommend it for VN lovers. The charterers are fleshed out well and plot line has no holes that matter and the graphics are well... graphic The sex scenes look very realistic and well thought out. I can't wait to see what the dev comes up in each installment.

Plot: Instant gratification. This is not a game, this is a sex simulator with a school setup. That's it. There is absolutely no story or scenario besides a three lines stub for each new girl that arrives. All are empty-headed mannequins that magically want your cock the second they see you. When a reward does not come after an effort, it's not a reward. It's a nicotine patch. If that seems like content you would still like, you're far better off watching actual porn with actual women than pixel heads with cringey unrealistic facial features and extremely poor artificial semblance of intelligence

The criticism I've seen for this game is definitely warranted. The character models can look strange (especially close up which happen a lot), the sex scenes aren't amazing, and neither is the plot. I gave this game a 4 though because unlike a game I played recently called 'The Assistant', this game handled "progressive" subject matter excellently.

At no point does this game get preachy, or hypocritical. Each trans or non-binary character is treated as their own person and not a walking virtue signal. Skye, for example, identifies as a guy and he explains exactly why and it never comes off as being shoved down the player's throat. Skye is just Skye. Because of that respectful inclusion, I'm bumping the score up to show my appreciation.

Edit - After playing this game more, I'm constantly surprised by how maturely it handles certain plot points. It's really weird because I downloaded this game KNOWING it was a gonna be cheap harem porn and yet there are situations where they maturely address topics that other writers fail to address properly.

Examples include mothers, abandoning children, men being sexually assaulted and the seriousness of it, girls feeling as if they HAVE to be sexually open for someone and the unhealthy pressure it can cause, and even the morality of harems in general and whether or not it can have psychological consequences on a person.

There is one critism I have, and that is the character Veronica. Not that she's a particularly "bad" character, but her advice seems very "hand holdy". For example, she'll constantly beg you to compliment girls and you start to think "I dont need you to tell me that".

I still think that everyone is right when they say that this is just a simple harem game, but I'm also starting to think that the writer has the potential to create something incredible after this game.

I found myself liking this one more than I thought I would. While there are a lot of characters, most of them are well written and not easy to forget. There were only a few times a character was mentioned (specifically Lauren, who I'll mention in more detail) where I forgot who the name belonged to. The story felt good to read and the tense scenes actually had me gripping my seat.

This is a longer read, like I was very surprised that all of that happened in 10 days pre-timeline rework. One month feels a lot more natural for a character packed story and will help with pacing going forward. The character reworks are nice, though the Lauren one caught me off guard because it wasn't mentioned like the Emiko one was. I'm excited to see more improvements/changes be made to the story as needed.

A functional story with a superman main character that can be dramatic when it needs to be.

Art is a little dated for the time, and there are so many female interests that it's a little hard to keep track of everyone and the characters you do care about seem to never get enough screen time. Other than that it's a strong game with good writing. It's also nice to see games with genuinely likeable and personable main characters. You just want everything to succeed for this guy and to see him drafted 1st to your NBA team.

Sigh where do i start?At the beginning the dev may have thought about designing a ‘power fantasy’ game.Type of game which you are king of the world,everyone looks up to you and women wet themselves at the moment they see you.Which is not for me but there are people who love this genre so i could understand it.However even this type of games have different aspects so the player can see MC is not just a man whore,but a gifted individual overall.

now back to our game,this game isn’t a power fantasy game.It is a mindless fuckfest.The dev really lives up to it’s name ‘braindrop’ because i have never seen this amount of meaningless sex in my life.And the absurd part is dev has created 50 different female characters for the diversity but it makes the game much worse.If you had a 5 women who you have sex constantly it would still be meaningless but at least characters would feel distinct.Now you meet a different woman in every 5 minutes without context or anything and in few minutes she starts to suck MC’s dick and this happens millions of time i mean enough is enough.

If i could give this 0 i would,i am being entirely honest here.Yes renders are decent but these days anyone who is interested in 3D models can create this type of renders with DAZ3D easily.

I didn't think I'd ever question it, but is it possible to have too much porn? It is with a heavy heart I give this a 2/5. A 1/5 would be harsh as it's not like the developer is incompetent and there are no redeeming features. The best visual novels balance plot and porn. Feels like WVM has leaned far too heavily into the porn side of things. With a tighter narrative and more fleshed out characters rather than purely more characters, this could have been great. As things stand, I think it is a below average visual novel.

Review of ‘S2 Ch. 1 Ep. 3’…

I really like this game, although it does have some issues which I’ll get to.

The writing is good. A couple of spelling and grammar errors, but they are few and far between. The characters have differing personalities, and I like the interactions and internal dialogue.

Unfortunately, the character body types aren’t as differing. Most of the girls have thick thighs with big bubble butts, and more than a few suffer from giant fantasy tit syndrome. Yes, I know there are girls with tank ass and some people like that, but you never see them all in one spot to this degree. There is even a scene in the game where you have a mock butt judging contest where the MC must describe each butt and almost every description, he gives includes the words “big, plump”. I hate the word ‘plump’. It’s just a PC way of saying ‘fat’. I can overlook a lot of this because I’ve seen it done a lot worse in other games, but it was enough for me to knock a star off.

Anyway, the only girl with a realistic body is Bailey, and maybe Harper. Other girls have realistic breasts, but they suffer from the tank ass problem. They look like their bodies are disproportioned.

I like all the characters. As I said the interactions are done well and there is some surprise drama and even some feels.

The game is also pretty long which I appreciate. It lets you get to know the characters and flesh everything out.

When you reach day 10 you get a message from the dev saying day 10 is now day 31 since they are going to go back and retool the game to take place over a longer period of time for which the retooled version should come out early 2023. Which I thought was a good idea since the events of the game felt packed and rushed for only being 9 days. But then when you keep playing you run into characters you (the player) have never seen before, but the MC speaks to like you’ve met them before. And there are suddenly new rules in the school pertaining to the MC which everyone seems to know but you (the player) have never heard of before. And out of nowhere you are going to Florida the next day for a photoshoot for the charity and everybody talks like it’s been planned but this is the first time you (the player) are hearing about it. I imagine this is all added to play into the retooling the are going to do, it’s just a little jarring. It’s like they skipped from day 9 to day 31 and you missed all that happened in between.

Regardless of everything I really do like this game. I was sad when I hit the end of the build. I look forward to the retooling they plan, and I sincerely hope they complete the game.

Pros:
Characters

Cons:
Convoluted story
MC
Fake teases of incest
MC'S dick
Limited actual basketball play

This game quickly fell out of my favor, it started out cool then fizzed out like a cheap soda. A lot of things got redundant and fast, I thought it was cute how he was the guy at first but then it became too much, no real relationships. No consequences really everyone just loves him unconditionally. The fake incest is also one of the things that really ticked me off because the teasing is almost blatant at this point. You almost forget basketball is supposed to be played which has become a running gag.

This was recommended to me under the context of having an advocate character, yet after the first few sex scenes that still has yet to show up so while that's not the developer's fault it still sours my impression. Also the context of the first few sex scenes is also not to my taste.

S1 I haven't commented because I think the character design is a bit weird , S2 is a lot better . Many of the designs that I didn't feel comfortable with in the first film were clearly toned down in the second , such as "Futa"" male prostitution""muscular women who can't have sex" . S2 makes some of the special designs more reasonable in a plot progression way .

If nothing else, WVM will at least go down as a teachable moment for the concept of "less is more." If you are going to attempt to make your own adult visual novel, treat this one as a cautionary tale. Focus on a relatively small, manageable number of love interests who all feel distinct from each other and fully fleshed out. If you're in double digits, you've probably gone too far.

I loved the VN... YEARS ago.

But now its only find a new girl for your harem .Fuck her and find a new girl for your harem. NO Story. NO Basketball. And all the girls has the same face...
Less LI and more story/drama !

Game started off strong. Then it started slipping a bit. Now it's just a joke. I've been playing it update by update, all the content, and every update just seems worse than the one before it. If you want to enjoy a harem growing at an insane rate to insane size and some mention of hypothetical basketball, play for like an hour. Then stop. Before it starts slipping.

Latest update (S2 Ch. 1 Ep. 3): Garbage update. We waited all this time for that? You couldn't pay me to play that again. Not only were the facial expressions stretchy and weird, there was more shirtless men than clothed and/or unclothed women. On top of that, it was SHORT it added NOTHING and I want my time back. I wrote more story in 2nd grade with crayons on construction paper in a week than this LONG AWAITED update.

Visuals of the first half of the game: Decent. 3.5/5.
Visuals of the second half of the game: Could've done without a lot of them. 2/5

Story of the first half of the game: Meh. 2/5.
Story of the 2nd half: 1/5 make it stop.

Why the 1 star rating? Game is just a cash grab now. 3 years from now Braindrop will have had 12 family members die of gonorsiphaherpecancer, and in those 3 anguishing years he'll have released one more update, probably just like this latest one. Without ever stopping his patreon/subscribstar/onlyfans/ko-fi/whatever else he starts up in that time.


Updated Review June 17, 2023: I think all the delays and BS was just a smokescreen for the dramatic changes that were being put in. That or he brought people in to continue making the game for him. Either way, new content isn't terrible.

Updated November 1, 2023: Nevermind, we're back to square one with huge delays, flip-flop reasoning, and milking it for all it's worth.

Updated January 30, 2024: I don't even play the updates anymore, just see a new release then check the comments to see if it was any different. No. It's not any different. Still a weeks worth of actual work taking several months with 14 missed deadlines and broken promises.

Years ago I thought the game would have potential. But skipping trough it today, it seems kind of cursed how all the people are staring in your face. Maybe less people and more quality in looks would be better? Also stop this staring in your face thing... ICANT

I couldn't care about any of the characters. I can't say exactly why, the writing was grammatically fine and made sense, and I'm not one of those "anti college game" people, in fact I usually love those.

I know this isn't terribly descriptive, best way I'd put it is this feels like a renpy AVN made by an AI bot. Like everything that should be there IS there, but it just feels hollow, empty, like procedurally generated.

And I extend this to everything: The artwork isnt bad, it isnt great, it's just kinda.... there. The way the girls look and talk isn't bad, nor memorable, they're just ...there. I don't remember the animations being great, nor atrocious, they're just ....present.

Overall, if you're looking for a starter game to introduce yourself to harem-style games, I guess this is fine, and you won't come away thinking it's awful, but you probably wont feel very fufilled either.

If there is a game to play that will turn you off of the harem theme, this is it. I stopped counting/caring a while ago, but it has to be 30+ women in the harem by now, and not a single one of the smoking hot women have any college guys chasing after them. Most were single their whole lives and saved their cherry just for the MC...the very few that did have a relationship with a guy before, the boyfriend was a closet homosexual. The sex is extremely bland, not a single of the 30+ women have bi-sexual tendencies, and any family relations are off the table even though they're technically a part of the harem .
Overall, this is a cautionary tale of what can happen when you cater 100% to the anti NT_ crowd, and how badly the plot is lost when too many women are LI's.

When I first played the game it seemed to be having potential, but I have not seen any good development since. The game is dull, it has one uninteresting story, and has throughout really bad visual choices.
The choice to use and abuse of close-ups, those corny duck faces on most of the characters/models, and that irritating greenish yellow, make the game be coherently annoying to me. At a first impression it seems to be okay, but after a while becomes visually abhorrent.
I have tried to like the game hoping that there would be something interesting down the line, but after several versions I can say with confidence that it will not happen. I will certainly not play this again.
This game is able to kill neurons.
