I'm all for LGBTQ representation, but I'm not gay. I'd love to be able to search without 80% of everything being LGBTQ related. Is there a way to circumvent this so I can find content I'm actually interested in?

I've played up to the return home so far and this story seems to do a lot of TELLING rather than SHOWING for a visual novel. Does this aspect eventually evolve in the future? I feel like I'm reading an actual book rather than a AVN because the visual aspect is insanely lacking so far. I like what's offered here, but I would just read an actual book if I wanted everything to be explained in text rather than rendered/drawn.
It's honestly shocking to not see Desert Stalker, Oppai Odyssey or Artemis in the conversation. Those are also S tiers I'd put up there with Eternum in every conversation, albeit how they're ordered would be down to preference. For example Oppai Odyssey is undeniably a stellar game all around, but it does remove player agency for the sake of the story. While this would lower it's appeal or some people, I'd say it's undoubtably a very clear cut above 90% of AVN's out there due to every other factor. I've also never put tremendous weight on music, although I understand it's appeal. It's all subjective after all.
There's also games like Unraveling August, STWA Unbroken, The Missing Part and very recently Artifice; among others, that I think are and will continue to be incredible games as long as they maintain their consistency and actually get updates.
I've dropped Sicae, MBIML and New Horizons previously due to their writing, but I find myself coming to try again since I'm struggling to find new gems. From what I understand, there's a good story here, but something about the writing and dynamics makes it hard to get through for me. Can't say the same for any of the aforementioned projects.
Honestly, I had like 5 paragraphs ranting on the negatives of this game, but I went back and looked at some similar comments and notice that the creator is very much aware of that this game needs work so I'm not gonna bother being just another shitter.
What I will say is that the framework for this game is stellar. There's so much potential here if it gets the love and attention it deserves, even if it would mean rewrites and reorganization. I binged it all in one sitting and yes, I have strong opinions on it, but I still enjoyed playing through it and want to see the vision come to fruition.
I played Industry Baby first and frankly I see some of the DNA of this in that story as well in the early portion of the game that I originally wanted to call out, but after the first "week" that story gets significantly better and its clear the dev is definitely growing as a creator. I look forward to seeing how the experience with the other project helps with making this one better as well.
Keep it up man, I'm looking forward to your work!
Love this game, I initially dropped it due to the intro, but found myself coming back to try it again and was thoroughly surprised and disappointed in myself for ever having dropped it in the beginning.
Also as a side note, I'd recommend adding Artifice to your recommended game's since the creator credits you with assisting with its conception, not to mention it's extremely good so far. You both deserve the admiration it's received and will receive in the future.
Wow, this prologue was nothing short of incredible. There seemed to be tidbits of worry from the creator regarding pacing, but frankly, it was fantastic and I was constantly engaged without a single break in immersion or a single jolt from jarring transitions or whiplashing emotions/topics.
The MC felt truly unique and interesting, yet perfectly imperfect with obvious flaws that stem from what is so far a really compelling backstory. It shows clear goals for him and the stories development while also providing just enough to make the MC and the story mysterious and keep everything surrounding the narrative captivating.
The other characters all felt individualistic with their own quirks and personalities, the models, set pieces, posing, camera angles and interactions were effective, well done and natural. Then, the story so far was *chef's kiss* it was wonderfully bread crumbed and built up with a nice little cliffhanger that left me ready for more.
I've never engaged with theater so I'm sure this story will likely have many nuances that go over my head or happenings that I won't quite understand, such as the narrator filling in some empty scenes such as the changing room section or the woman running away in the rain section, which is probably my only gripe so far as it feels like more of an interruption than adding additional thematic flavor, but other than that I honestly can't find much to complain about. It would be nice if there was actual music to drive the emotion to the next level, but I understand this AVN is in its infancy.
Overall, the prologue was exceptional. I'm waiting in anticipation for future updates. Wonderful job!
P.S.
If it's alright to ask, to what degree did NoGlory, KloppStyle, W.M. and D-San contribute in the creation of Artifice?
SPOILERS
The prologue was fantastic, the dialogue felt natural and interesting, the pacing felt good, the renders were great (albeit the suit transition renders could be better imo) and the posing was spot on , the sequence of events felt well thought out and flowed naturally and made enough sense to not be immersion breaking, although i did question why the scientist would be utilizing public transportation in an emergency situation with top secret tech in hand, but some suspension of disbelief should be expected for a story like this to work. The characters felt unique and distinctive for what we've seen so far, the hero's felt like hero's even if some clearly have ulterior motives and the villains felt like villains. The plot set up was also engaging so I'm interested to see where this story ends up.
Overall, I'm really excited to see what comes of this story and I'm not even really into superhero tropes because I think they're cheesy, but great job so far.
Really enjoyed this game so far with the inclusion of combat and even resource management system, not to mention the option between the genuinely ruthless/non-con routes and compassion/love routes. Def looking forward to seeing these expanded upon in the future and seeing how the story continues to unfold. Great job so far.
This one took me by surprise. I found it pretty randomly and was drawn in by the character models and genuinely enjoyed every second of it, but it does feel like there are some pretty glaring pacing issues.
Outside of that, the characters are great, distinctive (and hella hot) and the story is so far pretty interesting, the comedy bits dont feel forced or cringey, the music is nice and the set pieces are well done... it also has vampires so fuck yeah

love the game, some lewd scenes have weird animation quality and the MC is scripted to gets his ass beat every time he tries to save a girl other than one and is generally a pussy in scripted scenes, pretty annoyed by it
would personally like to see a combat system implemented and a rework for "skill points" and exp similar to how parasite black handles things bc rn its just insanely boring and tedious but thats something for like a final update at this point but it would dramatically improve the "adventurer" aspect of both gameplay and narrative, the current system is just a vehicle to push the plot along
seems as though the dialogue has been a known issue for at least a year or longer but its still absurdly bad and makes the game difficult to get through, the story set-up seems fantastic and i want to be interested but the text sooooo much of...all...the....dialogue...appears...with...ellipses...in...every...sentence... so if you're a fast reader it feels pretty miserable to click through
not to mention almost EVERY character starts out as an absolutely unbearable c*nt and it feels extremely forced and unnatural while the MC seems like this pushover p*ssy
i had no idea this would be a Chinese Xianxia themed AVN and im so fucking hype for it, ive always wanted a AVN with these themes
update: the game is phenomenal, fantastic art direction and characters and i love the assets
cant figure out what the second gallery scene is though, nothing shows locked under any of the characters or the "others" so some info on that would be great
this is honestly such an insanely unique game with a fantastic story, the art work and visuals can be... detracting... but its absolutely worth every second
definitely looking forward to the 1.0 version because it seems like the creator plans a graphical overhaul or something which could potentially make this a 10/10
