VN - Ren'Py - How I Became a Hero [S2 Ch.12] [Naughty tales studios]

The good: Well-drawn models and cute waifus all around. The variety of fantasy models makes the world more "realistic." The story has internal logic and draws the MC/player into caring about its resolution.
The neutral: more of a VN with choices only to move around to the correct location to resolve quests.
The not-so-good: navigation requires a minimum of three clicks to open the multi-function button, select the map, then finally take a guess at the next story node. This fixed, it would be 5/5.

This game certainly surprised me in a good way. I'm excited to see where it goes in the future.
PROS:

• Well written
• Great characterization (as mentioned in other reviews)
• Fairly unintrusive sandbox system, although it could definitely be fleshed out in the future.
• Somewhat unique premise/MC backstory
• Quite wholesome in a weird sort of way. Almost gives you a warm, fuzzy feeling.

CONS:

• Not being able to name your character until ~20 minutes in was an odd choice that I don't quite understand.
• So far this is a bit more of a kinetic novel. Not sure if that will change in the future.
• This is more of a nitpick but the Map, etc. being behind multiple clicks could be tidied up. There's really no reason we couldn't just have the three buttons in the corner (map, journal, inventory).

Overall I'm quite pleased with how this game is shaping up.

This game has started of really well. Love the concept and story till now
What really caught my eye is the characterization of the mc. Its really well done and at some points you actually feel sorry for him and it can get a little emotional.

Overall I like the nice guy persona and a welcome change of mc's you find in harem games, who are mostly dicks or idiots.
Will definitely consider supporting this game, maybe after1 or 2 more updates.

Have to admit that I don't like navigation games very much most of the time, so was a little bummed when the story changed from regular linear to a map navigation one. But so far (Ch 2) it has been very well done with just a little exploring but no lost looking around "where do I go next?" moments.
The characters at the beginning, though in a somewhat generic setup are well done, to the point that when the twist comes I ACTUALLY want to get back to them as opposed to similar stories I have played where you quickly forget about them and don't even care lol And the new characters you find yourself interacting with are all very well done as well. Ch 2 went all too fast, and just left me really wanting to see what happens next, so I would say that is a good sign from a game. Enjoyed it a lot and hope this is just the start of a long journey!

Well I was positively surprised and really liked the first part of the game, so spoilers alert I hope that mc goes back home one day. well what can I say, the game has a rich and powerful story so I can't wait to see where it brings us and I really don't mind playing through any kind of content, may it be milfs, gilfs, NTR, MF, FFM, MM, FF or MMF except FUTA that I can just avoid, as easy as that. It all works for me and it will probably be available for those who want to skip it.

THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT WORK.

The plot is interesting and will make you want to know how the plot will develop later on. The renders are great and the characters are also good looking.

The animation part is not shown much at the moment, but if we take Max's Life's animation as a reference, I think the animation should be expected as well.

I don't like sandbox personally, but the game's sandbox interface is very well designed and the hints are very clearr, so I don't think it's too much trouble. Good job!

I think the only pity is that I personally prefer to modern characters rather than fantasy world characters. Elf ears are really not my cup of tea.

If the plot will also focus on modern times afterwards, I will definitely go to Patreon to support. Good luck to the Dev and keep up the good work!
