I have one main thing to point out.
While there is really shaping to be very interesting, there is one thing that I think heavily detracts from the reception (past starting with sex with the OC).
It's the banner on top of your page on the itch.io.
It makes Izuku look not like just an edgelord but as someone actively evil that's playing those girls around.
However, by the time of the current moment in the story, Uraraka (with Tsuyu's help) has kicked most of such behaviour out of his head, and while he is far from his canon self still, the core of his personality (wanting to help others) is still there.
You should PROBABLY get a new banner because this feels like a great idea to push a lot of people aside - you have the rare benefit of having Izuku as the protagonist instead of a random OC, but you're seriously wasting it with that damn banner. I know at least one person who saw it and decided not to download, and since that's the only person I know that even knows about this game, it's not exactly looking good.
Sorry for the late reply! We talked about this with the artist. Now we've finally gotten around to changing the banner for the better. But without a doubt, consider it your contribution that got this issue moving forward. Initially, the concept of the game leaned more towards a corruption style, which is what the banner conveyed. But time passed and everything changed, except for the banner. I hope it raises fewer questions now :). We personally like it very much! Izu gives you a wink for helping to clear his reputation! Even with his nuances, he is definitely not a villain!!! Anti-hero - absolutely YES!!!

I love this game so far, I cant wait for more to be added. I have to say that the fact you can romance Toga is one of my favorite things, I LOVE her. The combat is a bit iffy since you cant train your strength yet, but that'll be fixed in the future. All I would say is to add an option for pubic hair for all the characters. Its a personal kink of mine, and I see Mei has some already. Keep up the good work, if yout ake suggestions for characters to add, let me know ok? I can think of several, one being Mitsuki Bakugo, Bakugos mother lol.
Sorry for the late reply! We are glad that you liked Toga's ‘announcement’ in the story. It's not quite ready yet, but it definitely will be! The combat system redesign awaits you in update 0.07, so we may still surprise you :). As for the hair, we will discuss this question with the artist, but I cannot give you an answer yet. You can suggest any ideas in our Discord or in the designated posts on Itch. Thanks for your feedback!
Sorry for the late reply. What is GB? Our latest posts provide details about the dates of new updates -> https://ndferretstudio.itch.io/the-bloodriver-saga-retransmitter/devlog/1068350/...
This is a narrative and characterization critique then anything, at the start, very start of the game, after Azumi trauma dumped Izuku, learning about her very extreme situation she is in, and later Izuku promising to be that man, protecting her in any way he can while the writting also made it seem Azumi was quite literally grooming Izuku because of how eerily close he looked like to her deadbeat husband that left her with a huge debt to the Yakuza, then it goes on yadda yadda where Izuku promised to protect her and have long unprotected sex with the school nurse.
Then all that accident happened with Izuku's mom and dr heinz came to experiment on him then a 5 Month Timeskip went by, yet the first thing Izuku did is anything but not try to get in contact with Azumi? after all that talk to help her in any way he can, Izuku dumped her like the deadbeat husband, even though I am a new player, it really pissed me off because it really just tried to be edgy and didnt make sense to be that first objective for Izuku, especially the entire Quirk of Izuku slowly being weaker if he isnt keeping his libido up? an easy solution is Azumi, no shot that woman loved Izuku and so does he becuase of what he said, yet Izuku has the gal to question 'how has she been doing as of late' when he knows the Yakuza is breathing down her neck 😐
I'll still give this game a shot becuase of just Azumi, but I really questioned this writting decision because it's being edgy for the sake of it while also making Izuku no better then her husband, even moreso the game insinuating her route is complete even though I just started this game.... so really, the moment Izuku comes back to her, I really hope it wouldnt be half assed and everything is forgiven when they have long sex, so apoligies if this will insult or come out as condescending, this just really bothered me more then anything.
Thank you for the detailed review.
No, Azumi's story is not finished. We are aware of some issues with the narrative in her route. In fact, Azumi's absence is related to our intention to rework part of the story (especially the section after the prologue), and we do not want to introduce her before that point to avoid doing the same work twice
For now, please consider this part of the game unfinished.
