The story is generally viewed as simplistic and serves primarily as a framework for the game's lewd content, with a basic premise centered around the main character, Yukino, trying to earn money for college. While some players appreciate the character development and multiple endings, the writing is often described as bare-bones and repetitive, with minimal storytelling depth. Despite its shortcomings, the light-hearted tone and engaging character design contribute to a degree of enjoyment for players focused on the erotic elements.
“Despite the NTR theme, the story is light-hearted; Yukino never seems to mind too much what happens to her and adapts quickly to her predicament.”
“The story derives around Yukino's decisions; they impact what ending you will receive.”
“Despite a simple story, the number of events and the availability of multiple endings give the game a degree of replayability.”
“The writing is very bare-bones and workman-like, as if whoever came up with the story viewed it as a chore rather than one of the most valuable and important parts of the game.”
“The sex-scene progression in all the jobs is near-identical (groping > boobjob > boobjob + fellatio > sex / frottage) which destroys any pretense of there being a story at work.”
“The story is very basic and contrived, but unless you are someone who expects porn to have Shakespearean-level writing, then it shouldn't bother you.”
