I have slowly started to categorize all the VN's I find enjoyable and here's a short (heh?) entry about this one for anyone who might be interested. 

Please do read to the end before you jump into conclusions. This is one of my VN favorites because of the likeable and well written characters and because of the humor - and the use of music. As a word of warning: I have only played Aiden's and Dallan's route.

This is more of a dating sim than adventuring game currently, and despite its name and the backstory, there's actually not much sex at all! You are forced to pick one of the three main NPCs very early on and you can't even flirt with the others. I believe there's some bisexual content in Dallan's route, but I didn't choose to pursue it. There are also a few random sex scenes and one *grr* ... well, not spoiling it... but I want to smash that "#%¤% face for... NoT SPoiLinG It!

There's absolutely no fighting mechanics  but I'm still going to push it into "hero's journey" category of VNs because the MC has the "chosen by higher powers to become something great" backstory. The current iteration covers only  a few days of game time - which is actually pretty substantial amount of dialogue BUT there's a lot of stuff that happens within that timeframe.

It has a lot of funny dialogue (albeit at times bad spelling), and very good use of music to set the mood. I'm not much into the twink types like the MC, but despite this I very much enjoyed being in his shoes, and I actually got emotional over a few things which is rare. The excellent use of music helps here... Oh, and did I also mention I like the game's music and how it is used... ? Yep, music! The best way to set mood!

I also like the way how they show time progressing within a scene with dots. If I ever get around to writing a visual novel I'll totally stea... borrow... that idea. Likeable characters, too. NSFW obviously.

True there is no battle mechanic, I wish they can add one but eh, its his game so I don't mind about it, what actually interesting to me is that about the characters and how they interact to each other. By far the best vn game I ever played.

Yeh, but Hero's Advent didn't have initially one either, and last time I played it, it wasn't used much. Maybe this is something that will be added later but I'm perfectly fine even if it's not.

It will most likely never have one since this is at core a dating sim, not an rpg.

In the next update after 2 path has been updated, in chapter 2 are we gonna do like a little battle simulator in the forest if so is nice, and if not thats ok I will read it anyway:D (nice ending on the chapter 1, makes me giggle a little)
