  1. Firstly i say this “good character Writing can save a bad story, while bad character writing can destroy the best stories.”
    well in this case i’d say we have a relatively interesting base idea for the story, which is really demolished by bad character writing. There are many things i could talk about, but all of them are less important than 2 major problems in this VN.
    1. As mentioned above, characters are extremly unlikeable. Actually better to say the MC and the main Female Maria are really to some extent insufferable. They are insensitive and egoistic. you can not connect with them in any form and sense, since they’re written simply too plastic. The main Female Maria is a extremly controlling character and it really goes on nerves and suddenly in the chapter 18 has a 180 change of heart which feels hollow. MC has actually no personality at all. Some kind of a hollow puppet who randomly feels like a hero and randomly an medieval version emo boy.
    2. It is extremly slow and pacing is really like a turture. There are lots and lots of conversations that are totally needless and somehow feel forced and artificial. At many points i felt like i was preparing myself for a test at the university or something. It is very important to remember which medium you’re working with. It is supposed to be a VN akka a kind of a game and it means it has to be interactive. Wherease it has almost no interactivity. If it was an ebook, pdf or audio book or that kind of medium, my review would be probabley way more positive. But believe me it’s no fun to sit and press a button repeatedly for hours and hours with no real choice in it.

    apart from those 2 points, i should say that the story/story-telling is not really suitable for an adult game honestly saying. First of all you are forced into a love and marriage with a character you probabely won’t find that loveable and you have no say in it. secondly romance in the story is rather a childish version of romance and not really good for developing an adult game around it.

    As i said, the idea of the story is interesting and i liked it to some extent, otherwise i would not write a review on it. But maybe the least that devs should do to make it better, is adding interactivity to the story.
    And an advice to all the those trying to write stories or make VNs :
    1. be sure your characters come across as you intend them to. If you want to write a likeable character, get sure that they are likeable for the reader too and not just in your mind. And most importantly if your MC is not touchable and not “connect-able”, your story has no chance.
    2. Don’t try to put yourself in any form or shape in the story. Specially when it’s an VN or a game, the player/reader should feel on top of the story and not that there’s a god (writer) who masterminds the story.

    All that said, i always appreciate games that are story heavy and not just mindless sex animations. So congradulations for that. I’m sure the writes and devs can do way better in their futue projects.

    1. I appreciate the thoughtful review, Vido. I feel like if I do try this out I know what I’m getting into. Thanks!

  2. This VN has good renders and an interesting story. Contrary to one commenters Harem fetish, it’s a decent read, with good character development. There is a long length of time between updates, but if you handle that, then it might be a good one for you to follow. It’s not the greatest VN, but it’s good enough for free. 🤷🏻‍♂️

  3. Maybe, you should be writing these walls of text on the developers Patreon, since you are clearly addressing him in your opinions. Or better yet, send him a private message, so no one else has to read your ramblings.

  4. First off; the choice of stats (if it doesn’t matter to the plot = why bother with it at all?) * Next: your choice of 2 stats is stupid as the whole reason you get to fuck with the stats after picking them the first time is that your self insert god character alien asshole can do that. So he SHOULD be able to just enhance them ALL. Period. Last point – I DID NOT get to choice the stats because I got an ignore/rollback error. So it REALLY wasn’t necessary to shove that in anywhere becuase it doesn’t even happen that I get to CHOOSE. >.<

    Next: This game DOES need to be a Harem. There is no point to the defense this game is a romance based game. So is a Harem. It's just a different style of romance. There is more than one woman; neither of them is really the best fit for the MC and frankly both of them are going to blue ball the player because you insist that it can't be a Harem. Fuck. That. You wrote more than one girl to focus on. Deal with it, and let the player just HAVE THEM ALL. Because there's no reason to piss any of the girls off, or reject them, because you have a static idea of what romance is. You involved Aliens in this bullshit period piece (no that wasn't misogynist, I mean Era, in case you want to think I'm being a smart ass – they are called as a genre, period pieces) so you have no call NOT to make this thing a Harem.

    Also, if you're going to dick the player around with "hey, this is a romance" then you DO NOT get to tell the player where they can cum. Nevermind the fuckwitted "don't cum inside her!" (I don't care what reasoning you use; you are messing with a potential kink that will turn off a fair chunk of your audience. Like with denying the Harem potential. You're SHRINKING your viable audience when you don't need to) If a girl is going to be built romantically with MC, then allow The Player to CHOOSE how far they'll go sexually (without fucking consequence!) and where to finish off. All. Of. The. Time. You don't even let the characters bloody discuss it. That's just you being an ass. Which your insert character has been the whole time. If you want to insert yourself so damned badly into the story – first, don't. It's a sign of shit writing when you make it that glaringly obvious, or second… mentors. Actual Mentor Characters, that are NOT pretentious "Highly advanced" Science/magic Dues Ex bullshit.

    Do note: The game DOES have potential, but the fact that you introduce random girl who's almost raped by a monster, needs to be saved/is way too mysterious not to be a giant red fucking flag, and is also romanceable as a rival to the Main Girl… too many tonally jarring points. Which frankly WOULD be manageable IF you made the game a Harem game, and let the player CONTROL whether each of the X amount of girls he pursues gets to have his child. Frankly, I'd say make the MC either become at least an Immortal Champion/King, or a noble by some other means that doesn't involve willingly bending over as the Main Girl's bitch until he gains noterity by virtue of riding Her… Coattails. What? You thought I'd go somewhere else… apparently not. Because it's been about 8 chapters or so according to how far I got before this new update. She's barely given me a handjob, and the dev insert freaked out about even that. So that character and most of this whole game can fuck right off. Realize what the hell 99% of your audience and DEFINITELY your subscribers are likely going to be here for – and more aptly are paying to see – and maybe you might have a viable game. Maybe. But first you'd have to let the Main Characters BE the main characters; and kill the damned deus ex plot device self insert right off.

    1. you sick bitch, how the fuck could you know what a normal person is here for, being a total freak?

      1. No - and I will from this point no longer respond to "Anonymous" Whoever that may be... says:

        Yes… because it’s freak like or sick to want to be able to pursue (sucessfully) more than ONE woman. When more than one woman is presented as interested; in a game where the main fucking character is “possessed” by a (self insert of the AUTHOR – who you should genuinely throw those insults at you mental midget, who can’t even come up with a viable name for your troll-ish comment) who frankly at the point said possession happens really should be able to choose which girl to pursue at the very least… and or frankly claim/keep them both. I’m not the one that wrote the current update, who specifically told me by the dev talking to the player – which is just bad writing by the way – NOT to cum inside of any girl. When we hadn’t even actually gotten near that point yet. *Golf Claps* Dude, are you sure you’re even old enough to be on this site? Because I’m not sure you’re smart enough.

        1. i get that you build mental barriers, helping you to cope with your madness, so efficiently that you can persuade yourself you’re not abnormal.
          but the result is kinda like a person in a gas mask, cluelessly running through the crowd with pants full of shit.

          pregnancy fetish is about as normal as paedophilia.
          ok, let’s say it’s somewhere between paedophilia and dendrophilia, in terms of being harmful 🙂

          1. Really; well how much pedo and or dendrophilia content do you see on any given porn site, asshole? There’s PLENTY of creampie/impregnation vids. Including Incest and step fantasy BS. There’s your answer for how accepted my “fetish” is. Genius.

            You don’t have to agree with my views. You DO NOT get to call me abnormal or insane, or wrong for expressing an opinion. Tell me what I pointed out in my intial review that was so damned offensive to you? Tell me what you think was so wrong; or provide your OWN review and share what you would do differently against mine. But you didn’t do that, did you? No, instead you decided to type this tripe, and insult me. Like almost everyone else on this fucking site. This is why I tend not to answer in comments anymore.

            By the way: I was born with mild mixed Cerebral Palsy, I have synesthesia. I am mid ranked on the Asperger’s Spectrum, and I have 122 IQ. The national average for either Canada or US is 100, or less. Even in Japan and China it’s 106. Can you do math? I was NEVER normal – there is NO such thing as “Normal.” There IS however a definable reason for the content I enjoy, as there’s a reason I’m less likely to be able to find a real girl to do anything with. So once again, to EVERYONE who wants to troll in comments = Go Fuck Yourself. Since you’re willing to post here too, you probably already are.

            * There’s also almost no way without Doxing (which is as far as I’m aware incredibly illegal) that you would be able to verify a damned thing I just revealed. So call it Ripley’s, and Believe It, or Not.

          1. There’s no sense talking to No. He writes ACTUAL novels.

            This doesn’t make him or anyone an expert on porn VNs, but because he apparently thinks it does, he’s not going to take input. No does not take input. You were always talking to yourself.

            Sorry you had to learn it that way.

  5. If you are looking for a quick fap, look somewhere else. This game whilst more wholesome can get to the verge of annoyance with the wait time of seeing any sexy time.

  6. Ugh. mostly a *REALLY* long kinetic novel—very few choices, & the few there are don’t matter much.
    MC has basically -0- say about anything important!
