been playing a bunch of these lately (surprising amount are big on spankings) another one with an intriguing story with top tier humor is That New Teacher, it's a bit heavy on the dominance/corruption content, but a lot of the characters are super cute and again, the humor. ~<3
Quite a lot of adult games on this page have very unlikable main characters, complete idiots who couldn’t figure out how to boil a cup of water. Or LIs have paper thin characters that only exist while they are on screen. Other games use the “harem” tag to mean cheating where none of the LIs know about each other. Or the “bdsm” tag that often means the MC is an asshole who doesn’t understand consent.
Thankfully none of these criticisms apply here!
We just have a decent guy as protagonist who’s emotionally intelligent and cares about the girls. Consent is very clearly communicated, all the girls know about each other and they all feel like different individuals with their own lives. So we get a wholesome romantic story with great character moments.
Yes :) The prime example when it comes to spanking is probably "The Headmaster" which has it's punishment system in focus. Here the main character is also quite intelligent. The actual psychology of his explanations almost makes sense which is the reason I would not recommend this to too naive / young "players". It actually has a couple of quite emotional moments. Though not that many. Besides Cosy Cafe it's also one of the AVN I do support :)
Though be warned, many events are bound to certain days and there are a couple of events that require a certain order of actions that are not that obvious / easy to miss and you can get stuck. Though it has a great built-in "event archieve"
ps: In regards to That New Teacher, I think the concept of the "special guests" it brilliant :) Seeing characters from other AVNs in the story as a hommage and kinda advertisement is brilliant. Because of that I tried Stormside which also has a crazy story (though unfortunately it's abandoned)
