    The game turned out to be quite interesting, but, in my opinion, it's a bit damp now. It is based on an interesting and unusual concept of the story — the struggle with inner demons in order to succeed with girls in real life. This approach looks fresh and stands out against the background of many template HTML games. It is worth noting the visual component separately: the images generated by AI look very high-quality and stylistically designed in a single tone. This is, of course, the merit of the developer, and for this I would like to praise him. Many HTML game authors often do not pay enough attention to the unity of the stylistics of images or videos, which can spoil the immersion in the game. There is no such problem here.
    However, there are several points that, in my opinion, need to be improved.:
    Interface
    It looks pretty standard. I can't call it terrible, but I would like something more original. I hope that we are only seeing the alpha version, and more attention will be paid to this aspect of the game in the future.​
    The combat system
    It leaves a lot to be desired. There is no leveling system, there are only basic stats and a set of standard techniques. It would be great if the player could not only read the description of some special technique, but also see a full animation of its use on the enemy. This would add dynamics and depth to the gameplay.​
    Absence of sounds and music.
    Perhaps this is the most serious drawback. Yes, I understand that games can be good without sound, but still we don't live in the 90s or early 2000s. Nowadays, even HTML games often include music tracks that help you immerse yourself in the story. There is a great lack of music and sounds here.​
    Total
    Overall, the game has clear potential, but it's still a long way from being a full-fledged product. I would like to believe that this is indeed an alpha version, and the developer will work on improving the aspects mentioned above. So far, I rate the game 3 out of 5, but I hope that in the future I will be able to give it a much higher rating.
    I wish the developer success in the development of the project!

    Very smart use of dialogue, AI-art, and setting - it's a fun and well-written game that has the MC acknowledge the cliché harem setting. I'd prefer he fully embrace the harem and MC elements, but the way the creator handles the situation is probably more realistic.

    Interesting concept for sure -- a magical dude who fights and defeats the inner demons of the women around him to win them.

    Although the story can get goofy at times with girls going into full blown submissive servitude because MC tells them they have daddy issues, not to mention the goofiness from the SOTA of AI generated CG, hopefully it will get even better in time.

    The basic concept of the game is good and the pictures look good too, if it weren't for the problems with the hands.
    Too many fingers, wrong anatomy (if you support yourself on the wall with your right hand, your thumb should be on the left, etc).
    The good thing about the AI is that the developer can always stick to the same model and doesn't use constantly changing character models, as is the case with RL-Porn, just because the scene found fits the story. Either better guidelines are needed when creating the images or the images should be edited manually before they are published. Ultimately, the developer wants to sell a product, and that requires investments.

    First text based game I've been looking forward to getting updated in a while. The concept of AI generated images should hopefully help speed this one up on updates and the author is doing pretty good at keeping a consistent character model, though you might notice the clothing shifts in each image.

    Fun game - highly agile development, author listens to feedback, Art is AI, but great, and the story is surprisingly deep.

    Helps the best friend, aka the freebie fuck, is hot as sin.

    For a HTML game, quite good combat that needs a bit of refinement, but that's what the writer is currently working on.

    In short, it's Persona with hot girls getting naked - and since Persona is great.... ;)
