What did you like in the game and, what you didn't like?

I like the renders, the women and the writing. What I don't like and will probably never like are sandbox games in the making. All the stuff that's there but doesn't have content, the grinding, the endless replays, because you devs never manage not to break saves. All this makes a game that I would otherwise like, just a so-so game. You've already written that you know many people will be dissatisfied with this, but you decided to go that road anyway, which is of course your decision to make. However, there are a few devs who manage to make their sandbox games fun to play, even while they are still in development and I would advise you to take your cues from them. Making it very clear where people can find content is important and for god's sake be careful with the grinding. Allegedly there are some people who enjoy it, but most of us just find it tedious.

I rarely watch what other developers do. I'm not interested. It may sound rude, but most of the games in our field are frankly bad. Including my:) I can't bring myself to play them. It's enough for me to have to play my games, but I do it for money:) The game was originally claimed as a story-oriented sandbox. We never hide our plans. Accordingly, we cannot be accused of cheating. You like games from other authors doesn't mean they're good. You just like them personally. You can name those from whom you think I should learn. And if I don't know about the existence of this project, I will familiarize myself with it.

please also consider making saves comparable if possible I think it’s so very important in RPG to reset character levels with each update is discouraging given the need to re-level up..

We know how to do so that did not break the save. But then we will make a bad game with empty worlds at first. We don't want that. First you need to fill the world with content. At the moment, pumping is meaningless. Because there is no content for high levels. Therefore, all the content is added mainly to the beginning. You can quickly get acquainted with it. When the world is full we will strive to maintain compatibility whenever possible. But in the case of the sandbox is not so easy to do, because it is not a novel, and the structure itself is much more complicated.

Not liking as much: 1) not able to develop a relationship with Kagera 2) Elena is sleeping with MC’s rival lol 3) the scenes with not content so far (cave, notice board) could be removed until content is available gives too much of a feel of a unfinished game to me. However: fabulous game Novel!

1) It was planned in this version, but we did not have time. Her event is too big and complicated. 3) Locations in the forest are likely to be recycled. Most likely, the rest of the locations will be tied to the story and the up level

Like: 1) the text is rich and especially around the erotic scene CoTV has the best description of the lustful acts I’ve seen: beautifully done :) 2) a well made background world and unique characters with different personalities 3) the RPG element actually makes one feel like they are more in control with character development although I can see it being a double edged sword: some may see it as somewhat “Grindy” I personally like it.
