When I first started reading this VN, I think what hooked me might be a bit different than what might have piqued the interest of others in this comment section. I like the constant steams of strangers throwing themselves at the MC for pure physical lust alone. I don't give two fucks about basketball. But I can get that some people wish it were more about that. Hell, even though I don't give a shit about sports, I gotta say when they went into news interviews of the competition, I kinda got into it a bit.
I feel like the story fell off a bit after the assault that got MC jailed for a bit.Probably not in a way that reallty bothers me too much, though. I mean, I can come back a year from, now and say "oh,hey, more sex scenes" and I'm happy (though, I've never been a Patreon supporter.)
From reading the forum I can gather that the author's seemed to have been pulled into a profit-motive that has him maybe doing the least effort for the most profit. I don't recall what the f9zone TOS says about discussing ideology and I don't know which button to press to get a refresher, though I have to say I would expect this kind of thing with capitalism. I would expect it quicker. Stopped reading shortly after the introduction of the princess, by the way. Thought I'd let a few updates pile up.
Also Jamie is super hot. Also love that scene where (Penelope, I think) is like "hey we haven't even had our first date but can you **** me over this radiator please?"
