[OIHS] Only I Have Skills

Okay, I think you're a great writer in a lot of regards and yeah I think taking time away from this game to use that writing skill is a great idea. I still have a lot of gripes with the story you've laid out though.

Standing as is your mc has little choice in the world. You literally get raped twice? Three times? And can't do much but accept it. Sure you can go the other route and be a complete slut in this game but literally being a whore is how you get stronger story wise 

Cool if that's the game we're going for I get it. But it's odd that I can be forced into sex, choose to have sex with Gramps then be buddy buddy with everyone less than 10 mins later.

The railroad end. The moment we start the heist we immediately lose agency there's no real options to be selected. It's just the story and only the story. Sure we get to explore this big sanctuary but that's both the same as it's mostly a scavenger hunt. Once again you're a great writer but the whole thing just seems out of place it's irksome that even the final choice isn't our own. Iconic sure, enjoyable once you know the alternative? No

Finally, I don't think you intended to see MC out the way you did. Seriously, with all the build up traveling the city and everything it all feels counterintuitive. We have to fuck the shark dude to get a boat for example. Idk that's just my observation. I wish you luck and love on your next projects don't take any of these criticisms to heart I love this game It's why I feel the need to draw attention to my personal pain points with it. 

Thank you for your time.

I have to ask. What skill do you need to expose the Father during his sermon, when I choose to check on him?

Need a route with just the bandit leader

How do I update the game?

Alexi my beloved❤❤❤

When will you release the next version?

This is a game rating comment (I tried not to post spoilers in my review, but I do allude to some things, so if you do not want anything spoiled, please do not read): 

TLDR 3.75/5 Stars. Good sex scenes, good story/world building, but lacks weight when given choices because the end result stays the same regardless of skills or choices. (very linear, which isn't a bad thing, but when the main ending is "You are Evil", takes a lot of stock away from the player choices no matter what they do)  I like Hyao's approach on choice management.  Feels very impactful in his game "Lustful Desires" Here it lacks depth, but keeps you involved in the story because of the worldbuilding and characters.   

So I played the game fully twice, and the first was just a normal playthrough, got the bad cards from the seer, etc.  But then my 2nd playthrough I didn't seduce anyone at all and made the "good choices" but still got the same outcome?  I thought making different choices would have given me different thoughts or made the main character act differently, but it didn't work like that.  Unless I did something wrong.

So here is my review of the game, and this is just personal opinion so don't hate me haha.

First the bad because I like ending on a good note:

  Overall the game is good, I do wish that you wouldn't be "punished" for using your powers though.  I get the "undertale" vibe of not choosing to do certain things, but in a game that is mainly about sex, punishing the player for doing those things is kind of frustrating.  I get why, I just don't personally like when games force the 4th wall of "are you a good person".  My other dislike of this game is that even when you do have the skills necessary for certain choices, it rarely ever forces a different outcome.  Like not having the skill just move you to the same path regardless. Someone always comes out of the blue to save you or the conflict just ends or even having the skill is still not "good enough" and you fail the encounter because it was plot driven for you to fail.  

Now the Good:

I loved the different art styles personally.  I felt it mixed in the realness of "you are in a different world". So people may not look all the same and even all the races are drawn differently and I enjoyed that.  I do like the cute moments of banter between Zad and the MC.  I also do like Sepheni's growth throughout the novel.  You can tell she really had to mature fast with what was going on, and that even changed her on a physical level too.  The writing was great for the most part, and this is coming from someone who has published poetry before.  I do like a lot of the analogies and the sex scenes being written.  I think the world building was phenomenal as far as the magic system and how the universe interacts with the characters.  How there are taboo forms of magic, and different combinations, different towns, and even the academy being discussed in depth.  There is a lot of lore hidden in the VN that makes me want to read more about the world, or have even an RPG style game in that magic universe.  

Conclusion: I enjoyed the game, but I do wish there were more major differences between choices.  (I also know how work intensive that would be to do that, but otherwise it feels like the player really doesn't have a choice in what's going to happen) I played it twice, and would even be up for a third time to see if I had missed anything on my first two play throughs.  But to get it a rating, I'd say its about a 3.75/5 for me.

Hi I’ve seen this option crossed out quite a few times and I’d like to be able to use it because it looks like it could’ve been very useful a few time so who do I have to seduce to see in the dark? 

Very fun game! I want to ask about the swamp mission in Rajt City. Is it destined to fail?

I have become inordinately invested in the plot of this porn game, ending the last chapter on a cliffhanger is just cruel. 

Fantastic game though, mixing a surprisingly gripping narrative and interesting worldbuilding with extremely hot smut. And the sort of "moral choice" aspect is honestly really interesting. Like it's specifically called out that the protagonist could become some monstrous, domineering tyrant if they just keep using Seduce and disregarding peoples' free will and consent, but that's the only way to gain some Skills and those Skills might be needed later. It creates this really interesting ludonarrative harmony where both the player and protagonist are constantly tempted to bend their morals to gain more power and walk further down the road to becoming that monstrous tyrant. 

Having all of the options to gain Skills immediately after the game draws attention to the morality of your actions be ones that involve you Seducing people who can't consent was really smart. Every single time I saw one of those options pop up I always considered it. Even though I didn't take any of them since I was trying to maintain some morality, every single time I wondered if I was passing up Skills that could be vital later on. 

It really does capture the kind of thought process that characters have in stories when they're being tempted by ambition and power: "But what if I need the power that I will gain by doing this evil thing?" You did a really good job at that.

Are there any intimate contents with Lexi? Just finished his Adventurer's guild quest and I wanna cuddle the big guy after D:

this is already over for volume 1, but will volume 2 be a separate game or will it update this one again?
