The story is visually appealing and features interesting lore, but it suffers from a rushed narrative and repetitive elements across different routes. While the relationships have charm, they often feel underdeveloped, and key moments are skipped, leaving the overall experience lacking depth. Despite its potential, the storytelling could benefit from more substantial writing to enhance character development and plot progression.
“The story is interesting and I liked the lore behind the gods.”
“The best thing I can mention about the story is that Thalia is actually an interesting character, and you have the possibility to scold, rebuke, and refuse the gods' advances when they act like creeps or whiny children.”
“The story concept is very interesting and executed very well.”
“The relationships are rushed, the story is rushed, even the decisive scenes between the characters are rushed or even skipped.”
“The sexual tension is built up all along the story (which, let me remind you, is pretty short and overly rushed), but when the time comes to finally act on it, we jump from 'yes, I'll sleep with you' (which is still optional) to a CG of the next morning in bed.”
“Imagine you're reading a story and the whole time a character is talking about a significant person from their past who you never meet. Suddenly, the character has an opportunity to meet this person again, and you, the reader, think you'll get to meet this person as well, but then the story cuts to the day after with the characters basically saying 'well, that was fun!'.”
