Looking for some fun, sexy games, I have played a few other adult visual novels. I did not enjoy any them. This was the last one I was going to try before giving up on the concept. I will probably still never pick up another one, but if I do, it will be because this one has shown me that they can be well executed. The story is engaging, which I was not expecting. I'm not a VN aficionado, but I do not see where the attribute management system could be executed any better. I very much enjoy the character art. I struggled a little giving a five star review because, at the end of the day, it's still a VN. However, I seldom give reviews at all. Since I felt compelled to write this review, which is exceedingly rare for me, I feel it has earned the fifth star. I also feel it almost perfectly executes its goal and that a game should be rated on how well it executes its purpose, not on how it stacks up to games from other genres. There are some small annoyences with how some events are triggered, but save often and it won't be a problem.
I played the original. I was excited when they announced the sequel. I've been playing since '96. It isn't perfect, but it's kept my attention for nearly 30 years. I think it deserves 5 stars for that.
