I have to say I really enjoyed this game. There were points where I completely forgot this was a NSFW game only to be surprised later. I really like the story and its content but I do share the feelings with many others than I think the skill system is kinda borked right now.
I am sure everything will be tuned up later but it really does feel like you need to try and minmax to have a fighting chance at the tournament, with does punish you because its either you grind out multiple stats or you try to do girl's quest. I get it is supposed to be hard but it does feel like I am missing out on a ton of content because of it. Could just be entirely a skill issue but still its my two cents.
Other than that, its a great game. The artwork is great, the characters are good, and its surprisingly pretty immersive. Look forward to what comes next :D
