I played this for like 5000 hours and got all the way past the second gathering and can't be bothered to finish it even though I think I'm near the end. The plot becomes a weird shonen thing so I lost interest.
To put it another way, by the end of chapter 3 you've already met almost all the main characters, finished their character arcs, and beaten the main villain. But there are still two more chapters to go, and they're longer than the first three. So in order to stretch the story out, the plot moves into the realm of power scaling, introducing a stronger baddie to replace the previous baddie and adding a new tier of power that invalidates everything from before. It's just not very interesting.
This is a major flaw of stories made over a long period of time, they tend to become bloated and ramble off their original path, as the author grows bored or forgets where they were originally going, or runs low on ideas. Like a long running manga, or Umineko.
Now, I could overlook all that if the porn or gameplay kept me interested. But the sex scenes have bad art and the most cliche "erotica" style writing, so they're worthless. And the gameplay is basically finished by chapter 3, you don't get many new toys to work with after that so it's a repeat of the same strategies over and over but with bigger numbers.
I also think the MC's character development ends early on and a huge moment that happens later which COULD have changed things just, doesn't... it's clear that by the later chapters, the author was afraid to shake anything up too bad, to avoid upsetting longtime readers.
So it's a game you pretty much play entirely for the plot and they lose the plot halfway through.
All in all, I recommend this game if you're fleeing from something terrible in your everyday life and need something to waste hundreds of hours of your time. tl;dr /weg/ devs gotta stop milking patreon and get a fucking editor.
