This Light Novel game has taken me completely by surprise, and in the best way possible. As a jaded spanko, I’m very much used to the spanking tag meaning nothing more than one quick and easily missed event, or even more common, just a few slaps during a sex scene. I gave it a go, and when Victoria got her slaps, I was certain that was going to be the end of it. I kept going though because the story was so well written and the characters were interestingly developed, I stuck around and was rewarded with jealous Lucy. Pleasantly surprised, but still sure that was it. Yet I kept going. The characters were showing real reasons why they were drawn to the MC, not just some tired generic MC with the attraction of a freakin’ incubus for no damn reason. A trope turned beautifully on its head. He wasn’t perfect, he got mad when appropriate, didn’t have a cool or slick response to everything, and wasn’t OP just because. He was a messed up kid for a reason and now he’s trying to get his life together, I was sold. Not only do I think he deserves to be with a nice girl, he absolutely does right by them, wanting to help them out of their legitimate reasons to seek his protection. I was sold and kept going just to see what would happen even if I was sure my fetish was no longer in the game. I have never been so happy to be wrong! I kept reading for the character development, and I was rewarded with more and more red asses and somehow became more hooked than I already was. I won’t say this light novel game is perfect, but it’s been perfect for me. Everything I want to see is here. Yes, it is a harem style relationship where everyone is after the MC and somehow cool with him bedding every girl he sees, but somehow the story is so well written, my immersion is never broken. He’s not some lying cheating sex addicted deviant that chases every ass he sees. He’s honest, values the girls feelings and opinions, admits he’s selfish for wanting them all but they can only be with him, and best yet, the MC isn’t a simp for any of it. His goal first and foremost is getting his life together in his cafe to live his modest dream. He’ll turn down beautiful women if they think they’ll interfere with his goals, but he’s not so heartless as to turn away someone in genuine need and makes for some amazing situations. Sarah being so resistant and repulsed by the MC yet somehow constantly having to accept begrudged spankings has become my favorite thing to replay. My only quip was going to be how Akutski just fell on his lap and the Headmistress seemed to be blindly chasing his dick too, but again great writing brought both of those full circle. This is absolutely amazing work and just had to say so. If I have to sum up how impressed I am by this, all I can really think to say is I’ll see you on your patreon. MAGNIFICENT work!
Also, sorry for the rant.
