If you look forward to playing this game because you enjoyed SierraLee's previous game Ouroboros then forget it because he has fallen very low since then.

Did you appreciate how Ouroboros starts as a generic RPG only to make a mockery of them and demonstrate better standards such as fighting scripted quick and fun battles and growing more powerful by progressing the story instead of going through a routine of repetitive tedious battles for grinding XP to level up and developing relationships by learning to know people instead of buying relationship points to increase relationship scores? Do you expect The Last Sovereign to develop Ouroboros's ideals into a bigger and more ambitious project? Then don't even bother downloading this game because it can only bitterly disappoint you as SierraLee has betrayed his ideals from Ouroboros and has made TLS everything Ouroboros made a mockery of as in a generic RPG relying onto numerical values to simplify everything instead of actually building a meaningful world and meaningful characters. You wouldn't believe TLS was made by the same creator as Ouroboros if he didn't claim otherwise.

Indeed, he advertises this game here the same way as he previously advertised Ouroboros claiming originality by "deconstructing adult fantasy RPGs" and making a mockery of absurd standards by showing how it should be done and while this is true in Ouroboros and partially in the first 3 chapters of TLS, this becomes betrayed promises in the last 2 chapters of TLS which turn into a generic adult RPG not even trying to be original anymore and flooding you with sex to distract you from noticing that the game has become a scam from a developer who has grown used to patrons paying him for nothing and whose new standard is to provide minimal work to justify continuous funding while actually not caring anymore about the game.

This becomes obvious when every character interaction eventually turns into requests for funding which I first interpreted as an uncontrolled capitalistic obsession from the developer until I eventually noticed that the investments actually replaced side quests because chapters 4 and 5 barely feature side quests while they flood you with investments as if this is no more a RPG but a tycoon game and you have become a walking bank expected to fund the whole world all by yourself with your personal capital which is actually so limited that you can barely fund anything especially when the game creator imposes such an unfair unbalance between costs and profits making you spend so much more than you earn that you actually lose money instead of earning it and you can't even ignore investments because the story depends on them flooding you with evermore investments growing evermore expensive while your capital barely grows because your investments are so unprofitable that they don't even repay their cost so they are all losses only growing the unbalance between costs and profits to such a point that you increasingly feel oppressively powerless to grant people's requests since everyone expects you to fund everything all by yourself with your extremely limited personal funds without using any national treasuries even though you actually rule the world which is a disgusting hypocrisy resulting of the game creator's laziness who turns every interaction into investment to avoid actually creating meaningful quests as expected from the RPG that this game is supposed to be.

Also, if you expect TLS to be an open-world non-linear RPG then forget it because its world is not open before its last 2 chapters and its story is so linear that you can't even influence your own character's personality, indeed you are imposed to play as an antipathetic pathetic apathetic unrealistically altruistic hypocrite character and are denied all meaningful choices to actually impact the story while you are flooded with superficial meaningless choices only to deceive you with an illusion of freedom while actually directing you in a linear corridor to disappointment like a cattle being lead to a slaughterhouse.

Before condemning this game, I actually tried to confront its creator to give him a fair chance to justify his design and not only did he dodge my criticism but he went as far as delete my comments and ban me from the game's community which is blunt censorship which demonstrates that my criticism is so justified that it embarrasses him therefore I share it in a game review which is beyond his reach as he cannot delete ratings to censor them as he does comments and I recommend to NOT play this game in order to spare yourself the heart-breaking disappointment of being betrayed by a creator that you admired and who has grown into a lazy scammer who doesn't care anymore about making good games as long as he is kept funded for doing the bare minimum because if people pay him for the bare minimum then why should he bother doing better? Which begs the next logical question which concludes my review: Why should you bother investing your attention, your time, your energy and your emotions into playing a game basically abandoned by its own creator who doesn't care anymore about?

As a matter of facts, The Last Sovereign disgusted me so much that it actually made me feel nostalgic of Renryuu Ascension which is another adult RPG Maker game so similar to TLS that I actually think it inspired SierraLee and just as TLS, RA started as an original game full of promises until it eventually turned into a scam as its creator grew used to be paid for nothing just as SierraLee and almost all Patreon's developers and just like TLS, RA is another vaporware which has been in development for even longer than TLS while still not being finished as its creator has been flooding the game with evermore cheap meaningless sex with evermore cheap random meaningless characters instead of actually progressing its story and meaningful world building because this is enough to get paid by undemanding patrons however as opposite to TLS which imposes you to play an unrealistically altruistic hypocrite character and limits you so much that it makes you feel like a powerless tyrant, RA even though it is another scam just as TLS is, actually keeps its promise to make you feel like a powerful King who shapes the world and assumes it instead of hypocritically denying it as Simon does, it even includes everything The Last Sovereign does such as investments, politics, diplomacy, wars, intrigues, conspiracies, religions, cultural differences, sex, harem, but actually humiliates TLS by doing everything better than it does such as being an actual non-linear RPG featuring an open-world from the start reacting in real time to the player's actions instead of a static world evolving in a linear way, actually using the national treasury continuously funded by taxes in real time to fund projects, and includes even more features than TLS doesn't which is why playing TLS actually made me feel nostalgic of RA which is another vaporware scam which deeply disappointed me and that I used to despise until TLS disgusted me so much more that it actually improved my opinion of RA in comparison and when a scam makes you appreciate another scam then you realize just how worse this scam is which is why if you want to experience an adult RPG Maker game about being an assuming King who shapes a fantasy world by making choices and decisions managing your people and relationships with other diverse nations (which The Last Sovereign's nations are suspiciously similar) and growing a harem while adventuring all around an open world and solving intrigues and plots, then I recommend you to play RA instead of wasting your time and energy onto TLS because Renryuu Ascension is a better scam than The Last Sovereign which at the very least does everything better than this failed game, period.
