For me, this game is purely for fapping, and laughing at the teenage-fanfic-tier writing. Apparently people disagree a lot with me, but the renders really carry the entire game. They're high quality, not grainy in the slightest (kinda sad that I have to list that as a positive), the models all look attractive with maybe a few exceptions and have a very nice amount of variety, and the sex is usually framed and positioned pretty well. Plus there's quite a few group scenes, an itch which this game manages to scratch for me that I feel is missing from so many others that seem to be afraid to take advantage of their large casts. I really just keep checking back in hopes there'll be a crazy orgy, which I guess kinda happened with the last update, but I wish it had been with some of the other girls instead of brand fucking new characters.
As for the writing, I have to disagree with you. It's pretty much always been shit. The WVM MC is the biggest Gary Stu to be brought to fictional life. From the start, every single woman has been portrayed as being obsessively in love with him and everything he does. (Come to think of it, is there actually any female character that doesn't want to marry him or fuck him?) The story truly jumped the shark once all the tension that had been built from his cheating had been washed away like tears in the rain once it was revealed that Jamie has a massive cuckqueen fetish and all his infidelity was actually hunky dory. Actually, no, within the bounds of a porn game, that might've actually been fine, but the bigger problem was the fact that it was handled as this good thing that Jamie was going to share MC with other girls, because he is the most perfect man to exist after all and it would be selfish of her to hog him. I would go as far as to say that almost no girl has any actual personality or even existence outside of MC. He literally defines them. This problem only continues to get worse and worse the more characters BrainDead adds in, with the update before this adding in multiple wealthy women who are obsessed with a college student basketball player for some reason. It would also help if the time wasn't so hilariously short. It's easy to forget with so many updates spread out across years like a stick of butter spread across a mile of bread, but in game not even a month (I think?) has passed, and yet our boy has gone from one highschool gf he hadn't even fucked yet to the center of a literal sex cult full of gorgeous girls and women. Adding in a time skip or two or ten could've helped this instead of rendering every second of every day for whatever reason. For these reasons and more, ninety percent of the time when there's no female nudity on screen, I'm hitting my tab and control keys like a pair of unwanted step children.
This would almost be fine if the game simply remembered that it is a porn game first and foremost. At least for me, any harem style 'romance' is always going to suffer because the idea that one man could be so great that multiple women would be willing to devote themselves solely to him while he gets to be with all of them will always inherently be hard to believe, and this suspension of disbelief only gets tougher to justify the more girls that are added to this. I could never take My New Family seriously for this problem either. There are multiple ways to get around the harem problem, either create a setting where most men are crazy/violent and MC is a protector and not insane (Desert Stalker), have the setting take place within a culture that naturally accepts harems (again, Desert Stalker), be such a good writer that you can craft characters who would believably end up in a harem with an MC that is good enough to attract so many girls (Projekt: Passion and Eternum do fairly good jobs but also rely on other elements to sell the believability), or have the harem dissolve naturally (Being a Dik). Otherwise, the most obvious choice is to not pretend that your writing is at all serious and realize that players are there for TnA and lots of sex (too many to list). Otherwise, the harem is a death sentence for your writing if you're trying to create a romance story that won't have people rolling their eyes so much they get dizzy.
Anyways, am I still enjoying it? I mean, it's still making me cum, and it's free, so there's that. No clue why I just went on such an autistic rant about romance writing.
