I played as much as currently available and have some thoughts:

The story to lewd ratio leans a bit on the story side. I get it, the juice is worth the squeeze. Meaning the more time you spend with the characters the better the pay off when they get naked for you. But that doesn't really apply when most of my story conversations are with the jock friend, the incel friend, and the cast of male side characters (pretty boy, blonde boy, and the thugs).

On the topic of stories, I liked the premise of waking up with a "do-over" after a shit life, and I like the narrative device of the MC vaguely remembering what happened to people. But beyond that it's pretty bleak. Everyday a new shit thing happens to the MC and the people close to him. Ultimately I'm playing for escapism and the sex scenes. I don't need a different person threatening the MC every day lol. Just give him some more wins, instead of almost everyone taking a turn being kidnapped or blackmailed lol

Last thing about the story, it takes itself pretty seriously for a fairly common harem story so far. guy decides to get women, makes friends with a jock who helps him work out, has a nerdy Otaku friend to help with tech and more pervy asks, (so the MC can still keep a good reputation despite being atleast a little pervy) the abusive bratty step sister, the milf step-mom, it's all pretty tread ground.

I liked the animations, and the girls are great so far. The content available feels a little shallow but the game is still young and in development.

I don't mean to shit on the game or anything, there's some great stuff here, I really appreciate the development so far. But I have to admit I'm a little confused why this is the best selling hentai game on itch.io right now with what's available so far.

Regardless I paid my $10 so I wanted to give some feedback. I'll check on the game once it's had some updates to see how I feel later.

Good luck on future updates!

I think the "why" has to do with trust and potential. Since the author is very transparent about progress and intentions, the public content keeps a consistent good quality update after update, and frankly speaking, the competition isn't exactly perfect either since most games here are indie developments made by people with no prior experience.

People are willing to invest in this game precisely because they trust that it's only going to get better, and even with the current content it might not be much, but it's entertaining and a feast for the eyes.

Also, maybe we have differing opinions in what constitutes a "bleak" story, and that perfectly fine! But from my perspective this game delivers certain amount of finality and satisfaction to the problems MC encounters. He's not the type to sit around doing nothing anymore, so it feels kind of good when we see him prevail and protect his girls, specially since the choices we make matter more than it does in other similar games, you can actually feel and see the consequences along the routes, which is pretty dope if you ask me.
