Seems like I'm in the minority here, but I think this game is  a good concept hindered by a so-so meta setting.

Now, this is a prototype version of a VN that should improve on it, and while the art has a really cool style, the writing could definitely use some more polish. It spends too much time going "haha, this is a game, and you just want your harem, don't you silly player?" in a way that feels obnoxious really quickly. Despite only being 45 minutes long, having a bunch of that being Yandere-chan and Dandere-chan that this is just a game and that you should take them on a date because it's an eroge gets tiring really quickly, especially considering how bland the characters are, as they're just "anime girl stereotype but meta oooooo", and the meta elements being making your average QOL options a nuisance (the Auto function softlocks you, you can't skip, the automatic text speed on dialogues is way too fast to read anything and it likes to do auto dialogue A LOT...) surely don't help. (Oh, and taking a screenshot crashes the game, you might want to look into that lol)

So, not the best first impression, and that unfortunately left a sour taste in my mouth for the rest of the VN, which is a shame because the game reveals the untapped potential it could have later on. Discussions linking determinism to being a video game character and thus having everything written for you, overall more interesting meta writing on the second loop... the game definitely ends better than it starts. Despite the Insert_Disc part of the game feeling unnecessary, as it just gets confusing despite not really showing anything new, and doesn't really feel like it has a purpose overall.

The ending is the only moment where I feel like the game reached its full potential, with the whole talk about color and the art change, I just wished it focused more on the psychologic aspect of the characters and less on the "haha meta eroge" part.

I know I'm in the minority anyways, but again, there's definitely potential here (hell, the ending managed to match that potential!), and this still managed to interest me enough to see what the full thing will be like! ^^
