I admit I was hesitant to pull the trigger because $12.00. I get that developers should be paid for their efforts. But in a world where some amazing content is available for just $5 or less, $12 seems like a lot. And I know it's that price here because it's that price on Steam, which is where you are making your money. All that being said, I am glad I spent the $12. I don't mind paying for something that is really good. You should add your Patreon link to this page
In most of these AVNs the MC goes to a different world, or his gets turned upside down. But in this reversed isekai story, it's the secondary characters that have come to MC's world. Nice spin. They are the refugees fleeing an evil bastard that follows them to this world. Of course, the MC gets involved, and the story goes from there.
The visuals are really good, and when mixed with the outstanding dialogue, they convey the individual characters' personalities very well. The story itself is very well thought out. The thing I think I have some kind of problem with, is that Fiona flipped to being ok with the harem idea a little too fast. I completely understand why she did, and am glad. But given her obvious jealousy when she came back, I thought it should have taken a day or two more to come around, taken a day or two to be mad at MC for his transgressions. But this isn't an NTR story (for which I'm grateful). So it works out anyway.
As harem builders go, this one is interesting. Not all of the girls are quick to trust, even if being in a harem is what they want. It makes this kind of build up a lot of fun to watch. (Aurora, I'm looking at you...) The fact that most of the girls aren't even yet friends, but getting there, is fun for the story too.
Overall, I am really pleased with this AVN so far. I am enjoying the story very much, and look forward to a lot more from it.
I know the author has said in earlier comments that this story won't get a sequel, that the story is going to kind of finish itself. But I can see that there is potential for a larger IP here. There is already a prequel of sorts involving the world the girls came from. I think there is an opportunity to make other stories in either, or both, worlds where in the future there is travel between both to change how humanity continues for either world. Just an idea. I could also see how this would make a good TV show. Also, it would make a good book series too.
