Yo! I rather like your AVN but found that the use of puzzles was very frustrating. 

Personally I find puzzles annoying and frustrating, Im terrible at them. So when you place a puzzle as a stopping point to the rest of the AVN I just get stuck, unable to continue the story.

Which of course leads to me just quitting the AVN.

Please consider making all puzzles skippable or at least putting in a limit to how many times it can be failed or how long it takes before a game over occurs.

I can accept a Game Over if I deserve it but will just be frustrated and annoyed if I cant proceed at all...

The Muscle girl, i think her name is Jordan?

Currently dont have any scenes unlocked for her. Which is weird becuase that early scene in the shower area, when she tricks the MC.

Im only really thinking of main girls when I say 'Harem.'

I think Im gonna have to try again, I think I messed up one of the girls path.

Unfortunately I dont use Patreon, so id prefer it if I could support you through Itch when the time comes but I heard that Itch is still shadow banning AVN devs anyway...

I do have one question: Is it actually possible to be on all the girls paths at once? So far I havent managed it. I dont mind if its not but I am a fan of the Harem thing.

Is there gonna be a Harem ending?

Just wanted to let you know that I really love your AVN.

The thing that really makes it stand out from the rest is the sense of humor! Its amazing!

So far im giving this a 4 out of 5 and Im a picky bastard, so in my book thats a very high rating.

The only reason i withheld that 5th star is because of some very common tropes and ideas and predictable storylines but if you keep going the way youre going you'll get it anyway!

I might even throw in some money here on Itch if thats possible.

The latest release was on Jun 14th, 2025. Its currently 15th December. Thats 6 months since the last release on this site, not 2 months...

And its clearly not ready yet or we would already have it!

 According to a post below it has been over 2 months since hes said anything over there, let alone here!

Yes Im aware you probably mean Patreon. I still think he owes THEM at least one progress report each and every month!

All he needs to do is say 'i know its been a while, im working on it.' That takes like 10 seconds.

And im the entitled one? Seems to me the dev feels entitled to peoples money and gratitude while providing little to no information in return. Low effort.

Also im not just thinking of my own needs... im trying to protect newbies and other fellow followers that might foolishly think this dev will treat them with the respect they deserve!

So I think any of you over there on Patreon that are funding this Dev should seriously reconsider that.

Its been months with no word... if he cant be bothered saying anything, you definitely shouldnt be giving him your money.

Thats an interesting take and kind of a fair one.

The MC apparently has pheromones making him way to attractive to ignore... so maybe these women would treat him just as poorly if he didnt have that.

Never thought of that.

Ok so finished all content again.

Final tally on stats:

Appeal 6, Knowledge 71, Imagination 5, Prowess 75, Spell power 75.

Atrophy on my Knowledge became a real problem after the Trail of the Mind, but I at least managed to keep it where I had it.

Didnt learn Shapechange spell, did learn Teleportation and Levitation.

I think i finished the Violet path, she is best gurl.

I deliberately avoided Elisabeths path, but I did see her struggling with the rival guy (Percival?)

Again didnt see any other girls that seemed like Love Interests.

I had the Lucky Clover, the Dueling Gloves and the Superior Wand. Didn't worry about the rest as they relate to stats Im either avoiding or just want to keep at the same level.

I enjoyed this play through a lot more.

Ok So I won the trial. Still wasn't easy.

Final tallies on stats just after the Trial of the Mind:

Appeal 6, Knowledge 71, Imagination 5, Prowess 14, Spell power 61.

I did buy the improved Wand just after getting the extra money from the MCs family.

I saw no shapechange spell, didnt need it to win.

Next ill concentrate on Prowess and Spellpower, just keeping my knowledge from atrophy. Btw i noticed atrophy rates seem way down now.

Thats great.

So I have decided to restart the game with a singular goal: 

Winning the tournament.

I am specializing in Knowledge and Spellpower, nothing in anything else until after the first trial.

The only classes im going to study are Dueling and Magic Theory and the only Free time im going to do are Study and Practice Spells.

I wont bother chasing after girls, all I want is to win the tournament.

Ill let you know how it works out.

As I said I'm pretty sure I had around 50 in Knowledge. Still came in last.

I guess I just suck?

As far as I can see there's nothing to understand about the trail... you click on an option, you fail, you either try again and again until you pass or you go another way and you fail there too.

Meanwhile the two other champions breeze their way through it, but then they have been training for it for the whole year i assume.

I didnt see any option to use animal form. I played it some time ago. 

I remember there being a animal form spell in my latest playthrough but nothing for its use during the test. So there was no choice but to stumble about trying to 'brute force' my way through.

Of course I used the option I thought most likely to use Knowledge or Spellpower. I still failed 2 or 3 times before id be allowed to pass, even with 50 knowledge.

Like I said, Im a nerdy guy, I dont socialize in the common room or anything like that. So I met Violet and I liked her. Met the class president girl, because its part of the story, and thats it.

During my latest playthrough I started working on my Prowess after the test of knowledge but I didnt seem to meet any other girls, not that I wouldve paid much interest if I did. I was pretty invested in Violet by then.

Hi. I tried your AVN. 

Very pretty art but I didnt enjoy it as much as I hoped. You see I wanted to win the first part of the tournament and it seems to be nearly impossible to do. I specialized in knowledge and spellpower and still couldnt win, ending up in last place.

I dont know if its meant to be that way or i just suck at this game. Either way, very frustrating.

Its meant to be a test of knowledge, so why is knowledge such a weak component in it? shouldnt a high knowledge be extremely valuable during a test of knowledge?

Just to be clear I had over 50 knowledge and nearly as much spellpower. i had a little bit of imagination too. i pretty much ignored charisma and prowess.

The atrophy rate is way too fast too. people dont turn into slugs after a few weeks...

Next regarding the LIs.

I like the nerd girl, i think her name was Violet, but that was really all. I encountered the class president girl, i forget her name, but she seemed like someone I wouldnt have much in common with.

Shes well liked and popular, im a quiet nerdy guy. So i ended up avoiding her as much as I could.

Didnt meet the other girls. Dont even know who they are.

There ya go, thats my take on your game.

So is this AVN still progressing? Its been six months with no word...

Anyone know whats happing with this AVN? is it dead?

Maybe she faked it and his dad doesn't know? 

Maybe she's doing the whole 'its the only way to protect my family' thing? 

Maybe she altered the Dads memory? 

I dunno, it was just my instincts talking. 

I mean its a story and setting with untold mystical powers and stories... who knows?

You have your way, I have mine.

So this AVN has gone quiet? Man that sucks.

My theory, and maybe Im waaaayyyy off base...

ITS HIS MUM! 

Duhn Duhn Duhn....

Ok finished the update. Very like, much happy.

Mystery glowy eyes at the end was interesting but in the interest of no spoilers I wont say more than that. So was the scene with the claw boy talking to his boss. Much foreshadowing. Wow.

Doge approves.

Last but not least, while I kind of wish I could've turned down the lewd scene I understand why that wasn't an option. Kuro's test.

Kuro really shone in this release too by the way.

I love celtic, irish and gaelic names. My favorite is Siobhan.

Hey Vertigo, I appreciate this. I was worried, not gonna lie. But you're the best Dev I know of, honestly.

Dude! Mad respect.

Hina! What an Angel!

well my vote is to split it up, if that counts for anything.

Hey, so hows CH looking? Hows it cooking?

Alright, I know when Im not wanted. Ill leave.

Then perhaps the Dev should do a report on his progress here on Itch.

I think it would go a long way towards easing people's concerns regarding the game being dead...

Until then I think impatience is warranted.

He's so busy he cant even spare a few minutes to say he's busy?

Seems like a thin excuse to me.

If he's that busy he really doesn't have the time for silly little porn stories.

Why doesn't the dev say that on this platform then?

If they have another job, a full time job, they should probably dedicate themselves to that other job and stop writing this AVN.

Or at least actually explain that they have another job so that I know, then I can take it into account. And by that I mean, explain it here on Itch where I can see it rather than expecting me to join their Discord channel or Patreon.

I'm not going to make excuses for them, I'm going to criticize them. They need to be criticized.

Stop enabling bad behaviour.

I dont expect the next release in a few months, I dont expect it at all. I didnt really enjoy this AVN, it was OK I guess. 

But every artist should seek to improve and dev time is one factor that all of these guys, with one or two exceptions, seem to think they can just ignore.

Ok then.

I sure am!

Sure!

Wait what job should I get? What will impress you enough so I can live with all of my poor choices? Should I also go back in time 197 days to when I made this comment and tell my past self that I'm a loser and that I need a job?

Any other words of advice you have to spare for me?

Sure. I'm a dumbass. Happy?

Also did you wait long enough to respond? or did you comb back over 180 days to find this comment? 

Kinda weird dude.

I am a lot more patient when I am kept informed.

I just have too much self-respect to allow these devs to treat me like that.

So I finished my playthrough, doing the 'Reject Them All... Including Fiona' path.

It worked out surprisingly well.

As I said earlier most AVNs have an unfortunate habit of assuming that the MC is lewding/romancing all of the LIs and devs write their dialogue with that assumption. Which means that the reader can get a moment of confusion as they are accused of being a big ol' slut, when they have done no such thing.

Well I was very pleased when the MC responded by saying 'No I didnt' when Cecilia accused him of slutting it up when he hadn't.

Apart from that I liked the explanations of power categories. Simple and understandable.

Being able to reject Fiona is definitely a good thing, although reject is a strong word. The MC basically says 'I'm not sure I wanna marry you anymore' and then agrees to wait until after Nathaniel is dealt with to make a final decision.

I thought this was a little weak, a clean break would have been better. I'm guessing writing a bunch of alternate scenes without Fiona was not on the cards.

The subject came up twice and then there was the Lewd in the bedroom with Fiona while the other girls watch movies. I was surprised the option of that third interaction was still available considering she had already been turned down twice. Needless to say I had the MC avoid undue intimacy with his ex-fiance.

The other characters discussed the break up between the MC and Fiona a couple times and that was a wonderful thing too. I like when the choices I make are reflected in the story.

Now that being said it will probably be a lot more fun to romance at least some of the girls. I felt especially bad for Sue, Tracy, Amber and Lucy. They didn't deserve to be hurt.

In conclusion you did quite a bit of good work here mate. I think I saw some spelling mistake but that was it.

[/code]

This came up just after the water park scene, when Cecilia confronts the MC and accuses him of sleeping with all the girls.

I will add that this an entirely negative run through, meaning all girls were rejected including Fiona.

I had a thought last night, an Idea for yet another version of this story:

-Reject them all... including Fiona.

This is an experiment I run with other AVNs and I often find that most reveal some major dialogue and story flaws, especially when they are intended to be Harem stories.

Some examples of what I mean:

-Characters and story assuming the MC is in a relationship with LIs when he is not.

-Choices that only result in lewds or affection points that lead to lewds and have no other consequence to the story.

-The shallow nature of relationships in these AVNs is revealed. Meaning its just a lewd and no real emotion is expressed. This is a difficult one since time and corniness is an issue.
