6/10 After 8 hours of playtime

The Good:

-The girls are cute and interesting, especially Miyu.

-Great detail is put into describing each scene.

-Some parts had me genuinely laughing. (Gonna have to steal "Captain Obvious and his not so subtle hint squad)

-The sarcastic tone of the protagonist reminds me of myself.

-The backgrounds are vibrant and detailed

The Bad:

-The story takes too long to pick up pace.

-Some of the scenes last way too long and get boring (Too much talking and idle banter).

-A lot of scenes dont really have a point and dont contribute to the overall story.

-No ambient sound, no voices or characters making sounds.

-Erotic scenes are too short, too far between and are not animated.

-The textbox takes up too much space (1/3 of the screen).

-The skip button does not work.

-Cynthia seems less like a maid and more like a bratty sub.

Thank you for playing it and taking the time to leave a review. What version of the game were you playing that the textbox took up 1/3 of the screen? It should just be the normal default height of renpy textboxes. Also, in what way wasn't the skip button working?

Don't listen to what he said about Cynthia being too much of a "bratty sub" and less of a maid, it's a stupid point, and the fact she's not just a mindless slave is what makes her interesting in the first place. This is just a dude that prefers submissive, obedient houswives over girls with personalities, that's why he prefers Miyu over the others

Thanks for the message. I'm not too worried about that as liking characters is mainly subjective. My only thought on it was: "Why can't it be both?" haha Didn't realise it was a one or the another situation.

My main concern was the technical issues brought up. Did you have any issues with textboxes becoming too big or the skip button not working?

no I had no problems with any thing. The text was not taking up too much space (even if it was pressing the middle button on the mouse would let you view the whole scene without text) and the skip button was also working (you just had to press it down). But I do have to agree the sex scenes are a little short. We would really appreciate it if you could try to make them a little longer and add a little more detail in them. I really loved this game and eagerly wait for then next chapters to hit.

I can take a look at the sex scenes a bit but it would really only be a little more to the narrative and not really a big change. I'm really limited in what I can do with the art so it's not like I can increase the amount of positions to add more time to the scenes. But like I said, I'll look to see if there's any room to add a little more to what's already there.

Honestly, I have to agree with this guy that these problems are correct. I also would like them to be fixed. The sex scenes and the cuteness of the characters are understandable because it's like an 18+ game. Even though I disagree with his reference to Cynthia I hold strong to these issues. If there is a new update, please try fixing problems like the size of the textbox, increase the sex scenes a little bit, and please make a bit more movement of the characters because they are pretty much standing stiff and still during 3 to 4 lines or even more. Other than that I have to agree with it that it's pretty good work.

I really don't know what is meant by the size of the textbox. If it was any smaller, you wouldn't be able to read the story. If it's in the way during some scenes and you want to see the full image just hit the H button to make the textbox disappear and reappear.

The sex scene duration I can look into but it really wouldn't be anything more than just a couple more lines here and there I would think. I'm very limited in what I can do with the art so it's not like we can do additional positions to increase the duration of the scene.

As for sprite movement, it's part of the limitations to the art. I'm making a game that's inspired by the Japanese VNs and as much as they do additional poses to mix up the art a bit, it's still static images for long periods of time. I just don't have the luxury to do additional poses.
