I had my doubts when I looked at this VN at first, I remember thinking that it would be just yet another hollow story with forgettable characters... hah hah.
...
Boy I was so wrong that I could throw myself in a clift thanks to the shame I felt for thinking that.
This VN is so refreshing! and it has such an interesting concept in hands, I would have trouble imagining quite anything like it, and to make it work like you managed to do is admirable.
I liked that it's written in an interesting and actually emotional way, and how detailed it can get, the pace of the story feels natural and not at all overwhelming at least for me... (Not as some, Others, That just throw you into the big and heavy plot at once without taking the time to actually set, discribe and get us familiarized with the world's atmosphere.)
I like that I can feel and see growth's and the perks in each character,(This maybe be minimal in some, but it's still interesting), Their flaws and how they make you wonder,
*"how they would act now?..."* (And I just love that feeling)
One thing I also liked very much is how you are making bad endings. I LOVE BAD BRANCHES ENDINGS SO MUCHHH, AHHH!, SPECIALLY THOSE THAT ACTUALLY HAVE STORY TO TELL AND HOW DIFFERENT THINGS COULD BECOME!!(I love them even more much more if they get implemented in video games), ever since I played the 7.5.2 update and got the bad ending completed, I could not help but wander, Would you eventually make other bad ending branches? I know I would love to see it more!
Now, I will talk about some in-vn things, So if you are new,
SPOILERSSS!

- I love how you handled us, (The demon, Lust), in the story when facing against that piece of sloth, I was so expectant and stressed for Resnick the entire time! And, (Hyper huge analysis incoming...)
I find it interesting that you expanded and we discovered a new ability in our lust, because ever since the start of the VN is clear that, we are lust, we are that force that exists within mortals, that primal instinct incarnated, but after the face off, I understand it as how, something about our time with Resnick changed us, and made us realize that, we are not just pure lust after all, but actually we are both sides of the coin of what can be defined as "Pleasure", we start off and often are a little bit cruel, straightforward, Intense, Entirely Playfull, how primal lust is typically associated, we are within the soul of Resnick, we just want to eat, we want to grow powerful and we use and manipulate Resnick's hidden desires to do just that throught the story, But, Somehow we start to grow, growing in a way that we actually start to see Renick as our only way to survive, this takes me back when we first infused Resnick with all of the power we managed to hold back from previous encounters, how we clearly are a little confused, curious and... even a bit worried about how Resnick will turn out. And how we are starting to see and maybe even understand deeper our true nature, after all we forgot who we were and our memories have yet to completely return, dispite that we go against our demonic nature to actually help. This is the start of our change, how we start to pay even more attention to Resnick's life, we don't see him now as just a tool but as our deared vessel. We can see that when that other black wolf with red eyes tries to kill us, sensing the inminent danger we go inmidietly to infuse Resnick so that we can protect him. After this something very heartwarming happens at almost the end of the said face off against the piece of sloth, we are pinned against the wall, hopelessly defeated, we are not strong enough to face off against this challenge, unable to infuse it with our own lust, this battle seemed lost, but then we start to have this feeling, of warmth we raise our arms to reach for it, as we start to understand that this maybe be love, not that intense lust we are accostumed to see. Its more sweet and warm. We start to channel it with no other choice as we start to feel and see this light pink expression of our power, something that feels so good. And we feel happy? Perhabs thats Resnick's connection towards his friends reaching out to you?...
After all of this, we somehow manage to sorta, Absorb? Or maybe even copy a bit of sloth's power? I feel that eventually we will be able to copy of absorb other demonic power as well.
(I don't know how far I got from this, did I even got it right? Well I dont mind more debate for this!!)
I just could go on and on with so many details I loved and want to point out. But I guess I will stop... for now.
For me, Definetly, 1,000,100/10 This is such a masterpiece I just so happened to stumbble across.
(Also, sorry for maybe bad grammar, English is not my first lenguage!😿)
