I played this entire game in one sitting yesterday and it was pretty solid. However, there is a LOT of things I think could be improved on. First things first, I gotta give its flowers. The fact its VOICE ACTED (albeit only during sex scenes) is extreme pro for me. First, its unique, and the deliver is pretty solid. Although at times feel a bit amateurish, which if anything adds charm. The art is simply amazing, but something I noticed with it is it sometimes becomes a bit inconsistent. Like the ab count, which if anything is nit picking. Humor, pretty good, story is where it kind of loses those flowers.
The first chapter story wise, pretty fucking good. I mean it IS technically a carbon copy but I think it does it well. Chapter two is where it loses me. I love the concept of the replacement for Zoro, and her backstory being what it is is good! But everything else is kinda bad. For example, there is a lot of *this kind of action*, when you could simply move the character in a matter and just describe the actions instead of roleplaying. Like with the butt chin guy stomping the rice balls, move his sprite and then write something like.
"He repeatedly stomps on them balls"
or whatever. ALSO, the LACK of battle gameplay in chapter two is very fucking disappointing. I loved the first fight and how you win using interacting instead of brute forcing it. But just skipping it? Really disappointing like I already said, another thing. The dialogue felt really dry and the entire story was pretty rushed. I understand there was some kind of personal issues during chapter two's development, so i won't complain too hard. Still I just hope chapter two doesn't become a pattern in the future.
Besides that, I see a LOT of potential and I can't wait to see where it goes. Personally I would like to see the story deviate from the source material a bit. Maybe the start and the end of arcs being the same, whilst the middle is different due to the MC's personality difference. Nevertheless, I can't wait to see more from ya. Good luck.
