VN - Ren'Py - Misanthropy [v6.5] [Cosmic Poptart]

This one's tough. it starts out as a pretty good VN. At first glance the art looks horrendous, but for the first half hour it kind of grows on you? because the story is small and moving along nicely. However it turns into a soap opera and gets boring; for a linear VN with no choices or branches, this is the kiss of death. My experience was: oh man this art is rough --> hey this is kind of unique and stands out from other games --> man fuck this game.

like the art makes the mom look borderline-grotesque at times, but she's supposed to be debasing herself; some unflattering depictions seem appropriate given the humiliation aspect. the childhood friend has weird proportions. Both of them behave strangely, and we do that thing where we're constantly reading their minds mid-dialogue too- doesn't help, extra text, boring skip skip skip

I guess what really sucks the most is that the cucks are so absurdly pathetic that there's nothing to keep you invested. you can't even really understand how the mom/dad got married in the first place, the dad looks like he's 20 years older than his wife? like she's 40 and he's 60. they've been together at least as long as the son has been alive, and the old man doesn't seem to know how sex works? who cares about this relationship? even the son is like completely checked out, and doesn't give a fuck what his parents do. I feel like she should have been a single mom, and the game should cut the dad entirely, he's so boring.

The bull is some sort of teenage megalomaniac ultra-mastermind, and that's awful too. I think a good NTR story should involve a cunning bull for sure... you know, someone that can believably exploit the situation. Having the antagonist be so over-the-top ruins it, like why the fuck does this guy care about cucking some random family instead of world domination? Every character in this story is either being manipulated by or working directly for the bull. C'mon man.

No Gallery. No chapters, no decisions, no checkpoints.

This is not a NTR game. This is our good old harem game with Hayden as the main protoganist. We all played those harem games with badass MC's with their unpenetrable plot armors. This is the same. Even though this time our protagonist needs a bit hard work, we all know we are getting that harem sooner or later. Coz we dont have a good competitors. Look at the MC ( no no no, hes actually NPC No:952). Coward, wimp, insecure, dumb. Other one is a husband. Ejaculates in 3 seconds. He cant even have sex with his wife every night coz hees sooooo tired. Guess hes 65 years old.

What kind of faces those son/father has dude. They are about to cry at any moment.

As always i have a single question to NTR creators:

What is the point of stealing a candy from a baby?

Fool, coward and dumb MC's. A badass antogonist (actual MC of this harem game btw). Sexually unstatisfied wife, loving childhood friend.
Veeery original.
The mother is resistant a bit but gf should be more resistant? Our glorious MC is trying to make her submit with his martial skills. Trying domination play with somewhat femdomish woman is a very good idea indeed. And btw, gf knows how much of a piece of shit Hayden is anyway. She knows all he wants to do is get into her pants. But somehow getting wet when he attempts to overpower her and "protect" her from the "bad guys" or whatnot. Cmon man. Its another one of those harem games i played like 10000 times.

Animations/Renders: Not the best. At least art is kind of original even though ugly.

Sounds: Fine. Same music drilling my ears for hours but hey. At least sex scenes have some sort of moans and stuff at least.

"Even failing antogonist." Just another lie to prolong and an attempt to be a little different from the rest. We all know Hayden will get'em all at the end.

Another shared cliche of this genre which i hate: Walls and walls of unnecessary text. Damn it man. You will miss nothing even if you pressing skip button all the time.

Story: I read reviews and most of them says they all here coz story.
Lemme summarise. Theres a dude (u can call him a sissy btw) goes to school. He has a childhood friend which both of them have huge crash on each other. He has a loving mother and father. Fathers boss is a creep. Boy and his childhood friend only talks one person in entire school: That person is the antoganist obvs. Oh no, sorry. Theres another. Clingy slut of a gf of the antoganist. (first harem member of true MC) Do i need to continui? Hmm. Mother has completely fallen btw. She wasn't a loving mother and wife but a nyhmpho who traded of those years of love with a big dick within a couple of weeks. Now she's a cumdump, a slave whom antoganist pisses on, stompts on. GF? Shes waiting for her turn of development. I say shes already fallen. Playing classical truth/dares, kissing antoganist. Stumbling to naked&masterbating antoganist in another persons home? And getting turned on. Yeah. Shes gone, too. They standed no chance. No opportunity to turn antoganist down. I shouldnt call him antoganist tho.
BADASS story.

I love this genre so much and i want it become the best. Thats why i am so critical when it comes to NTR games. I usually dont go and review harem games, romance games. We except same shit from them over and over again. But my NTR games needs to be perfect. With competent MC's, actual warfare between them and antogonists. Balance of power needs to hang in the balance all the time. Need character traits. Needs indivual perspective of each person towards others. Needs interest and love point systems. Needs much more decisions. Minor and major choice system. Availabilty of freedom. Need more actors, more enemies, more allies. Needs resource management, time management, timed events. Ofc the most important is better quality music/artwork/render/animation/sound. This is, in the end, a porn game above all.

This one is just shows that you don't need to do everything perfect to make a perfect VN.
Writing is so good in this one prob one of the best porn writing on this site. It knows what it is - adult VN, it's not pretentious and overly realistic but uses the tropes of the NTR genre perfectly, it even has some comedy gold moments.
Start is a bit slow but NOT THAT SLOW. There are not much art in the beginning but later it gets better.
ART is not high quality but unique and it gets better and better, dev is surely improving. I dont mind this art at all as long there are more of it.
Dev even put a hidden egg for a one ntr vn dev but I must tell that this vn's dev did a better job than the work they took inspiration from. Hope to see more from them.

This one is hidden gem
From the previews it looks average but writting, drama and buildup is awesome as good as the top NTR games right here. The drawing gets better and arousing with each scene.
Interactions, main female characters, corruption is so well done and hot.

On the downsides, the game may not seem like it's for everyone due to the prolonging intro. But it's worth it.

Definitely recommend and look forward to updates.

The artwork is not great, but it kinda grows on you. The art is decent/good most of the time. That said, there is plenty of text to read in between scenes. I'm down to read, heck I've read books exceeding +900 pgs., but not as much as expected here (for a porn game).

Wishing the best for the dev. But prob. won't return for future updates.

Well written and polished...

The game so far v5.0 has no defects, the characters are very well done whether in design, personality or involvement in the plot.

Mom ntr has to be very well worked out for the player to be bothered by the situation, and here it does it correctly, the scenes are very well done with a great variation, there is animation, sound and the dynamic of ntr by message is very good too.

Dont let the art fool you, it may looks bad on the first look, but its actually pretty good. Mainly the facial changes etc are really good. The main female character is very erotic. Too many games depict older women with tits defying gravity, here they have some weight that comes with age.

Anyway even if you dont find the artwork good, the writing is very capable. Better than most ntr you can find (though ntr generally doesnt have good writing sadly). I found myself glued to it and really enjoyed my time.

There is already enough content, even though the game only had half a year of development so far. The dev posts regular monthly updates and the corruption has already progressed to a satisfying place. It doesnt feel too rushed either (I mean sure, there is some porn logic, its impossible without it).

Really recommended. Hidden gem from a dedicated dev. Cheers.

Great game, great writing. Even if it's based on the usual NTR tropes, the writing makes it more realistic and much more relatable than what is usually the case with these kinds of games. So far so good.

Also, the art is actually very nice. It is unique and expressive. The style might not be for everyone, but I suggest giving it a try.

There's two things why I am still a little ambigious about a game that I should legitimately be raving about:

1. While the art is good, there's art missing at crucial moments. I know it's hard to make art, but if you leave it out when it counts, it's better not to do the scene. For example, the H scene between David and the blonde bimbo BF is completely text only with a black screen and given how important it is, that's actually unforgivable.

2. The boobs. I know men like exaggeration. I know this is a 99.99 male centric porn business. But seriously, they look hideous and unwieldy. Especially for the mother.

Simply put, another hidden gem.

For a game with an NTR theme, the believability of the story is key, and this game nails it.

A strong narrative is a big plus for adult games, but there are other games that also tell good stories. So, what makes this one worth highlighting?

It’s because the storytelling here doesn’t rely on flashy dialogue or convoluted plot twists. Instead, it leans on the characters’ personalities. Each character has their own motivations and goals, which is something that’s hard to pull off in these kinds of games. Usually, it’s either one smart character surrounded by idiots, or everyone’s a fool.

What impressed me about this game is that everyone’s actions make sense. The characters aren’t just puppets moving the story along. Even the seemingly clever ones can mess up, the foolish ones have their own emotions, and the cowardly characters can still be stubborn. The personalities are diverse but true to each character. In short, they don’t dumb down the characters just to serve the plot. How many stories can avoid that mistake?

If I had to point out a flaw, it’s that the game’s strength lies in its writing. The artwork is just functional, but it’s enough. Personally, I’m all about the story—if the story is good, everything else is secondary.

8 / 10
With different visuals, it could be one of the best games on this site.
(v3.5)

Writing is not what you'd expect looking at these 'low effort' pictures. Certainly not what I was expecting.
It is great.

- Not perfect - there are some problems with the pacing.
...Probably because of non-existent visuals - so everything hot is in the writing. And only writing. Every bit of character building outside of teasing, dirty-talk, and sex-scenes themselves feels like it drags for too long. Precisely because there's nothing to look at during it.

- It's not groundbreaking either - pretty standard NTR tropes for you. Ugly limp-dicked boyfriend, unsatisfied wife.

+ But it is solid. And it is meticulous.
Husband/boyfriend, while ugly and limpdicked - and there won't be any hot sex scenes with them - they are not disgusting. At least they behave like normal pleasant people.
Girlfriends/wife, while cheating, they are not disgusting. They are complex, cute, and pleasant to be around. Have interesting past, complicated present, and non-obvious future.

+ Antagonists: not the most intense guys ever, but very meticulous. Don't pull out magic mind-altering machine out of their hat. They have to work for it, plan, and sometimes even fail.
...And I can't remember the last time an ntr antagonist has failed in anything - so yeah, refreshing. Makes the story less predictable.

+ Humor is nice too. Love it.

- Now visuals are... simply horrible.
I don't understand why the author won't just use 3D - Koikatsu or Honey Select if he doesn't have the hardware to render.
It'll literally take less effort, while producing better results.
...Unless he just wants to practice his drawing skills. On us.

Sound:
+ Music's good-ish. At least during sex scenes and intense moments it's great. Normal everyday music could be annoying.

+ There are also some sounds. Blowjob, moaning, and so on. Which is very good. It always adds to the atmosphere and the hotness of the scene.
But.
It's way quieter than the rest of the sounds, for some reason - like the banging of the door that will blow your ears off if you amp your volume for the blowjob.
And it's inconsistent in quality. Which is, I guess, better than nothing at all.

Overall:
Very solid writing that sometimes gives you unexpected curveballs - which is much appreciated in the genre.
Highly recommend.
And will expect the author's future works with anticipation. This one included.

V0.35
Wife/Mom Corruption? Yes please!

This is a gem.

This game completely blew me away and outdid expectations. I think this is proof that the most important thing in these games isn't necessarily the highest quality images and art, but it's the storyline and writing that really makes a good game. The characters and the writing in this one is excellent, and the art/sound etc is still pretty nice too.

Can't wait for the rest of this story

Despite this being a kinetic novel, and at this point it very much still is, this is pretty solid. It has a slow burn and an unpredictable plot. The character writing and dialogue is topnotch.

There are points where it is suggested that choices could be added at a later time. Which is certainly interesting.

Good:
sound: good
visuals: enough to make you coom
story: corruption done right
mechanics: lmao no, you get everything. Just read and enjoy!

Suggestions:
a way to remove the text box. Text alone is fine and I hate spamming H every frame. Give me the option to remove the box

5/5 simple yet charming

This Is honestly really really good, and I am looking forward to new releases, which I didn't think I would ever say about a kinetic novel. By far the best kinetic novel I have ... played? and I would recommend it to anyone who Isn't instantly turned away by the kinetic novel tag. The story Is good and fun, the art Is good too, and Its paced well enough

One of the best homemade ntr's and this is only the beginning. There's so much charm to this work I can't explain!!

The character writing is S-TIER. I've played so many ntr games and this one feels so... NATURAL and ... it's like you're watching a tv production. I just cant help but smile and be entertained , u can't get bored reading this!!; the way he utilizes renpy to the best potential he can as a beginner to make it immersive. The way character sprites react, move, 'animate' adds to their dialogue (which is a lot).

I was pleasantly surprised to actually like Tiffany! (the gyaru/abused gf of the Hayden). She has a lot of depth behind what initially seemed like 'slut abused airhead gf'. There's a moment later when the other antagonist (business guy, orange hair) ---- god it felt like watching tv! idk. it's just good writing, I felt so immersed. I hope that Tiffany gets a redemption arc or some good moments to help mc out or something;; it sucks she just gets abused by everyone

and this one is so unique! I've never seen an antagonist for the main antagonist; it makes u root for hayden somewhat at some points.

I even LOVE Hayden's dynamics and chemistry with pretty much all the ladies. The mom, REN (ESPECIALLY), and Tiffany.
The art will get good over time, but the story and characters, presentation; S-TIER potential of ntr.

Also, the main menu as teaser for what's to come is GENUIS!! Awsome work creator!!

The art might not be everyone's cup of tea and is lacking in quantity department. However under it all, it is a great game with satysfying corruption, interesting characters and quality writing. The game is definitely a gem and a must play for NTR connoisseurs.

Trully excellent! A well written slow burner where the corruption is not too over the top and is at least somewhat believable (compared to your average game).

I especially like the character of Ren and can't wait to see her fall for the antagonist.

Great job, really eager to see more of it.

Review of Misanthropy [v0.2]

What is this? A slow burn netorare with pretty good dialogue?
You don't see that often

Good points:
Very gradual progress, this really isn't a fuckfest right from the beginning.
Dev is clearly taking his time building relationships between
protagonists - so that the inevitable demolition is that much more impressive.
the erotic content that is there doesn't feel forced, the guy stealing the girls clearly has to work for it.
And I mean what can I say about him, he is such a manipulative
asshole - pretty much perfect for this kind of story
Main girls are hot and thankfully there aren't too many of them,
story has tight focus on the mother and the childhood friend.
There are very few signs of the famed hentai logic in the writing (so far at least), hope it keeps up.
Also the main menu is really creative, although a bit confusing at first,
it gives a taste of what is to come which is appreciated

Now for some nitpics:
The art is good, but not amazing, it gets the job done
The character of the husband and son (especially the husband) are
cartoonishly pathethic, I mean sure it is a staple of modern NTR, but this
takes me out of the story a little. Still this is just my personal preference
Also one thing that really bothered me - it is the sprite of the wife
in casual clothes, why are her breasts like that when she is supposed to
be wearing a bra? Her work uniform looks perfectly fine, what is going on here!?

Overall incredibly strong start, sure hope the work gets attention it deserves

Frankly, it's an absurdly good start for a new dev. This is equal to and clearly takes some inspiration from the very best Japanese MILF corruption games/doujins.

Not only that but it's like she's built in the EXACT type of MILF I absolutely adore. Sagging tits, pubic hair and a willingness to cheat based on her sexual desires and not coercion.

I have a feeling this will become one of the gold standards for NTR games on this site and I welcome further updates.

Congrats, Dev!!!
