SPOILERS AHEAD
I wanted to thank you so much for this novel, really. I'd like, though, to give a honest review, with my admiration, but also with a few complains, which ones weren't enough to not let me embrace this journey.
First of all, I loved the concept of a "loser" restarting his life and getting to remake his choices, to live a better life. I miss some psychological problems in his attitude, normally it's hard to leave all the bad habits from the past, but, at the same time, not having this deepness made the story more wholesome and light. But I'll as explanation the fact that he changed his body, hence losing all his neural paths that lead to the old habits, albeit it means he also would face the emotional habits of the current body.
About Emma, I think MC is pretty stupid. I understand him not having bad thoughts about dating the mother or the sister of his current new life, as he doesn't have the memories, but Emma was his daughter for so many years. Even if he was a pretty distant father, he still saw her throughout life. It's strange for him to accept to see her like a potential date without any thought. In this regard, his current sister and mother are more developed, as they suffer from dilemmas and need some time to re-evaluate the relationship, to reinterpratate the memories build for so many years as a normal family. I really missed some inner hardships on his side to date her.
Fortunately, your game is great and I don't have other complains. The scenes were awesome. In the path I took, I lost a lot of images, didn't go deep in Zoe Route, rejected the principal, and didn't pursue Emma romantic side, and didn't harass the girls while sleeping. However, the story was good enough to make me full immersed for hours, even without those extra scenes. I loved how the MC is dealing with Lucas problems (this storyline is very interesting). I loved your boldness to make the game more mature by making the characters be targeted by men in a dark realistic and non kinky way. I certainly grew myself facing my feelings about the mom's coworker, and I was very thankful for not having cheating or NTR. I also loved how the somewhat little harem of the sister and Emma was being formed, how competition was being portraited. By the way, I found great how you described the emotions of the female characters.
The relationship development with the Sister was great, tbh. It's very lovely and wholesome, and sexy in the right proportions (although it's getting a little out of control haha, but it's a porn game after all). It'd be nice to have a path to get into a relationship solely with her, though, at least I couldn't run away from Zoe, not that I complain, it was kinky. The important, though, is that it made my heart very warm, and I hope in future versions I'll get to fulfill my heart desire to make the Sister (that I forgot the name) feel cared, loved, special and unique (wrong kind of game to seek it, maybe?).
In real life, your story inspired me to seek to change my behavior, not to get girls, but to live wholesome moments with people, to feel in a more important way to others. I don't work and don't plan to work until finishing university, but seeing how the protagonist was able to support so many people by helping economically, it makes me want to use my efforts to support the close friends and family somehow, not necessarily through job.
Your story also game me some quotes and lessons. About the latter, the possible change after an accident kept me thinking. Death can be so close to us, experiencing the one the MC dealt with made me realize it more, the regrets I'd have. Moreover, just as the MC is making efforts to help his prior family, it made me wonder the efforts my family had to with me, from education to money. Things like that we always know, but until we experiencing it, we can't form a proper feeling, just like death: we know we are only temporarily here, but we only create a deep understand of what is means when we experience it with our senses and feelings.
About the quotes, I wrote them in my language, so Idk em exactly, but I loved one that goes like "it's better to be in the beginning of the right stair than in the middle of the wrong one", so many times it requires courage to give up on something unfruitous to invest in something right that we still don't have any progress. And we can feel it's too late. But it's better to start late than to keep going on the wrong stair, like you appointed. I also enjoyed something the mother said when confronted about lewd stuff with the MC "there are things we shouldn't rationalize". It doesn't apply only to Moral (although it has a great application in this field), but also goes to our little decisions that, if we think and rationalize, we will see only possible troubles, fears and insecurities that will hold us back. Sometimes, rationalizing certain things only make everything worse, from morality to decisions. Deep inside us, after all, we know what we will regret or not if we faced death, this voice that we try to shuffle to satisfy our egoistical desires never goes away completely. Furthermore, the mother was very firm on doing the right thing in spite of what she was feeling, it works great with the non over-rationalize mindset (ps: there are always things worth of over-rationalizing, but certainly some are not).
I liked the MC personality, it felt pretty much of what I'd feel in his shoes, with exception about Emma. I admired how you didn't make the cliché of characters questioning whether if it's the real MC, but made his personality change be something natural with the accident. It was enjoyable to see him being very smart in the beginning to not call people wrongly, to study more the relationships and to have the skill to create good excuses to his memory ahd changes.
It was so refreshing to see MC getting his fruits for building a passionate relationship with people, to see him satisfied for having changed and creating a better life for himself, without, of course, not missing the pleasures of the youth body.
It was nice to see almost all the fetishes could be evaded without much loss, with exception of Veronica, from what I've seen. It made me feel respected.
But seriously, the graphics was very nice, and it was so hot seeing how things were slowly evolving with the main female characters, little by little. Every character was also unique and they didn't seem, imo, stereotypes.
I'm impressed about the quality of the game in spite of it being free. I've seen utter garbage these days while trying to find something to fulfill my horniness and my heart at the same time (double stonks), and your game was very unique above everything. I'm generally very bothered about incest, but, on the contrary this time, the situation of the protagonist made me evaluate differently the morality of the connections being formed. He doesn't have memories and he acts like an adult, understandable he chasing his 2 beautiful family relatives. It must be sad, though, to not be able to know the dilemmas they are facing in their head and heart because he has no memory of the past.
Btw, don't change anything just because of pressure of mine, please. If I gave you any worthy idea, only apply it if it resonates with what you want for your game, as I'm just one player. I was very touched and learned a lot with the novel, but there are others experiencing things as well, and each one has a different taste and life experience that change how one perceives the story.
If I were economically independent, I'd certainly support your game. But, not being able to do it, I hope I could help somehow with this comment.
If you need any opinion or review on a specific thing, it'd be a pleasure for me to help you on that.
Wishing you all the luck in your life.
