**Slight Spoiler**
I'm loving the new update, i just got to know, was the Acting Lesson line a nod to Dr. PinkCake? If so, I gotta know, do you creators talk with each other? There's so many nods and references to other great games in the community that it all feels inter-link, like one large universe with all of characters interacting with each other.
First and foremost I have to start this with applauds for the work put into this VN. I’m absolutely loving the story and the interactions. I’ve been playing for hours straight and have only taken a break because I ran into an error.
I seemed to have encountered a bug after finishing Isa's current content. For some reason Luna and Gracie are no longer in their rooms during the day in free roam. At the very start of the day their "chibis" are shown in the living room but Gracie is actual in the bathroom and Luna is nowhere to be found (she doesn't appear till her schedule time in the living room, third period I believe). This is breaking the “I am Luna” plot since you can’t speak with her in her room anymore. Did you and your guys happen to run into this issue?
Downloaded chapter 1-4 last night and couldn't time until I finished (5 hours I think). It's soooooooooo flipping good! At first certain models of the ladies weren't doing it for me but that became an after thought as the story progressed. As many have said earlier, I came in not expecting much but gratuitous nudity and hopefully ok to good animations. Sir/ma'am you knocked my socks off with the quality of this VN. The models (once you see all of them), the soundtrack, the story, the more mature themes/plot. I appreciate that this doesn't take place in a school environment those type of VNs are kind of played out at this point .
The highest it highs what have you floating above the skyline while the lowest of lows will have you feeling subterranean. I hate stating comparison between two different authors but your current work felt like I was playing through a DR. Pinkcake game (Acting lessons and DIKs) please understand that's amazing praise from me, since I consider his works the gold standard and I would place Leap of faith toe to toe with both of those VNs.
If there wasn't an sex in this game it would still be held in this regard, the tingling feeling I got from the anticipation from the next plot twist or revelation out weighed an need/desire to see GC boobs lol. I'm only halfway through, three more chapters to go, I got a feeling there's an immense emotional gut punch waiting for me, but I'm here for it. Can't wait to see what's in store!!!
*Edit, just started chapter 5 and I see what you're talking about with the cameos, I hate you yet love you so much!!!!!! I love Jaye!!!!
**Edit, Guys not spoiling anything but please PLEASE go through the nuke app at all times through your playthroughs, it is pretty vital for the lack of emphasis it's given through out the game.
Dude, not once did I mention sex. I personal didn't mind the amount that was in there, it wasn't too much or little. In your description of the VN you do say this is a narrative, but just because its a narrative that doesn't mean the conversation can only go one way. My discontent with your VN isn't a lack of sex or too much dialog, it's the fact that the player literally does nothing. I know many others loves VNs like this personally I don't. This isn't to say that you haven't put an immense amount of effort and love into it, I'm only stating my thoughts on it. Which again it's the fact that players have no say/choice/option in the VN. This very well can be fun and exciting for others, but for me it was quite flat, I didn't develop any kind of feelings for your characters because I wasn't allowed to interact with them. I view VNs as a interactive story, one that allows players to craft and story around a world built by the developer. My view on VNs obliviously isn't the definite "type", I only provided my comment as feedback on a VN that I truly wanted to love, I was dishearten and disappointed. It would have been easy to just delete it and move on but that would be unjust to a game that you can see many hours of labor and pride has gone into. My post wasn't created to bash but to give feedback.
Just a question, when do you actual make ANY decisions in this game? I've been railroaded for what seems 2-3 hours of dialog without doing anything. I'm not making this post to rag on you but does the player really have any agency in this game? 3 hours with no interaction is crazy, and i do understand the game is free and it seems an immense of effort has been put into creating a deep story but the thing is its hard to feel anything for a story that I've had no input into. I'm sure many others will find this as a unprovoked jab but come on man, allow the player to shape the story before the actual runtime of a movie.

*Edit - ok I've arrived to the first decision and I have to say I'm disappointed. I now see that this isn't a VN if you want to have an engaging experience. This is just a story, seriously there's little point to clicking, just set it on auto and let it run. To have no conversation options at all is well...boring. This isn't the player's story, its Blake's. It isn't the player interacting with the ladies, it's Blake. There's zero connection with these characters, now to say the way I like VNs are the only way to make them would be absolutely wrong. Everyone has their own taste and style but what's the point of having these "giant decisions" when the creator literally makes every other decision for the player? why must Blake try to woo over everyone? Why can't the player focus on the women he likes? Why is everyone so intertwined? Personally this is the definition of a VN, you are reading through a novel. This VN is missing the most important aspect of Harem games, being the MC and interacting with the women. Winning them over, building a connection, feeling like you have achieved something in this program. I know guys are going to flame me for this post but I felt I had to give my honest thoughts on the VN. What would be the point of a comment section if it isn't used to provide feedback.
