Spoilers

Oh not at all I'm judging it from how it is and how the content compares to what I have seen and played in the past and although to each game is different in it's own rights and by no way should it be in any way considered. a failure just because another game has features that this one doesn't or doesn't execute it as well as it does in other games. That's still not to say that it isn't justified for me to be able to do so, after all it is a Game that follows a set path and principles as other's in it's same genre as is expected as Your every day AAA game is when they come out. Seeing Looter shooters compared to looter shooters. I'm simply comparing This Harem, Build your force/City your choice matters conquest style Game with others in it's category. And by no means is it a 0/10 Game as I very much enjoyed myself playing it every single second in my style of doing it which is
making a split save whenever I see major moments where a set of choices changes how the game would end up playing out like choosing which of the available captives can end up being your Wife, impregnating or raping a certain Npc and how it effects their standing with you when you meet them again to even if you simply just don't do anything when something happens.

The game itself is still by all means great it doesn't have to be something that takes days as you make it out to seem that I desire, after all I brought up a game like Overwhored which anyone could beat within a Work session, twice over if you know what you are doing, The sex scenes or Smut isn't that bad but they ain't really good either, the other game I ended up mentioning as well TLS The Last Sovereign doesn't have good Smut either honestly for how well written the story was and amazing some of the scenes were executed the smut was never really something to look at. Honestly I would skip it most of the time and when I got my girlfriend to play the game herself she pretty much did the same. You can't really have sex scenes that are basically as short as saying the ABCs and call it a "Good smut/sex scene" Especially considering that honestly it just comes to
"i thrust myself into her, i keep thrusting faster and faster as hard as I can go then I cum" and that's the scene. I ain't asking for paragraphs here nor do I expect any of you all to do that either. As a roleplayer and a writer whose been in his fair share of Roleplay and ERP servers I just came to know when something seems written just because they have and that's pretty much that

Honestly I had a lot more written down but I was doing all of this on Discord but obviously considering how long it was it was way beyond the character limit so when I switched to another tab and came back I found 1800 characters mission so sorry if I seem like I lost my fire or might repeat things. 

The fact of the matter is that I feel that although it was a number you created on your own it is funny that your rating that you put that it seemed like I was putting you...honestly is pretty damn close to what I would honestly rate this game. Because I'm going to say this right off the back.

I love this game I put a shit ton of my time and effort into this game, dozens upon dozens of saves and hours put into this game to see the different layouts and results of choosing or going ways I didn't in my first play through, I love these characters that were created and I enjoy the concept, but a 4 out of 5 to a 4.5 out of 5 are not good ratings for this game at all and I will tell you why.

For a game to get a High rating like that anything close to a 5 or fuck it even a 5 out of 5. Requires you to have voice acting that make people believe that they are this character that they understand and can make the characters they play come to life, music that sets the tone for the scenes and help basically lead the Player to feel the emotions you want them to emit when something awful or amazing happens. And because of how you yourself are trying to put how this game is and explain to me how this game's Choices are then I'm going to put further emphasis on this.
If you are going to have your game go the branching route route then just like other games that give you the option to actually feel like that Character is you and the choices you make matter to further add to that 5 star Rating. you have to make sure that each Choice DOES in fact matter and not just be something that "happens in the background" Because this goes hand in hand with 2 other things you must have in order to get that legendary rating. A solid story that pulls the players along wanting them to get ready to see the next scene to learn more about what's going to happen to feel like they are the dragon and that whatever happens to that dragon and the people in it's life is happening to you and the people you care about. A story that keeps players in their seats which conclusive Endings yes Endings. That collect everything you done everything you said everyone you saved went easy on captured executed/killed impregnated and sold away. Into it's own ending that can actually show you "hey. Your choices actually did matter" Even if they are just Bad ends/game overs. Not just something that only changes a scene or two depending on if you had a certain waifu. And this goes into that second thing which is Solid Character Development with conclusive ends for all of the Major characters that you have in your campaign. If you make it so that a random peasant girl you meet and can rape and creampie at the beginning of the game ends up hunting you down and gives birth to your spawn. I want to know how she ends up after words if you went so far as to bring her back where in any other game that could have been the only scene you ever seen of her.

And this goes for every single other character that we come across to that ends up being a major character being either someone we can capture or just a reoccurring character. They have to have arcs that shows them having some kind of character development that helps you understand and believe that they actually exist in this world and are being effected by what's going on around them. So far the only real major people that we see this going on with is with the witch the farm hand and the inquisitor. The last 2 due to the fact that they can become your Waifu with the inquisitor already having a pregnancy arc that plays into her major plot line with the Witch only being shown to develop when she interacts with those that enter her cell like the Farm hand. All of this goes together to help just make the world seem real, help bring the story out and help make the Player enjoy the story. If we are given a choice we all want to see how it plays out after all.
So along with Story, Character Development. Ending(s), Music, Voice Acting There's also character models and just visuals. the "graphics" of these games that are what we see and interact with have to be well done and good enough that it makes people take out their Screen shot app to take pictures of these characters to keep around or use to rp as or make fan art of.  And honestly So much fucken more that all lead to a game being Rated the way it is.

In all honestly though I hate the 5 Star system and I prefer 1-10. And if I were to rate this game it would be at it's current state a 6/10. The art is decent the music is decent, the story is small compacted and just gets to the point for a lot of things. It focuses way too much on Balthorne, what he wants how he sees things his motives even going so far as to risk the rest of his nation on order to see him protected yet. We are the ones going around the cities the land farms Churches boat yards and we hardly see anyone impacted by what's going on or the fact that a dragon is out and about despite everyone seeming to know about it. It just really makes the rest of the world seem small, you are out here making huge scenes killing people kidnapping people and everyone goes on with their days as if nothing is wrong. Voicing is decent Character development seems very short. The only people that seem to really be acting like "i just got kidnapped by a dragon" are the 2 elves and the Abbet. The inquisitor going so far to Game over you if you don't follow the right steps when you capture her, the Witch basically being hostile with you 24/7 even when other captives go out of their way to make her behave. And the Abbet because she sacrificed herself to you in order to protect her fellow Nuns and rants your ears off even when she's worshipping your cock. Everyone else is just "this is my life now, cool" even the 2 cat girls that you captured as they try to steal from you just basically give up even if you untie one of them she doesn't do jack shit to help her sister and try to escape despite the fact that they are basically ninjas. Just waiting for you to next serve you whenever you desire like they been doing this for months. Granted A lot of their story most likely will be fleshed out and finished by the end of the 4th chapter when the game finishes. but that doesn't fix what is there now and how everyone is now with the game at basically 3/4ths done. With all of this, this game is no more then a 6. Once the final chapter comes out and everything comes together It will be bumped up to a 7/10 Hell maybe even a 8 out of the end if you do go the extra mile on things but where it stands as it stands. This is a average game that can use some improvements polishing up and having some features and it's core functions touched up on.

You can agree with me or not at the end of the day this is just my own opinion on a game that I have every right to criticize especially when it's a game I have played and enjoyed and have seen and played others like it. Go ahead and see TLS and other games like this their own community post. You'll see me there saying my own piece and talking with the devs there too. Keep up the good work and keep making this game good because hey
At the end of the day
it's still a good game. If I can sit down and put a few days of my time on this playing around and just ignoring my pestering girlfriend to play minecraft with her. It's a game that's worth everyone's attempt.
