Imo this games strenghts are similar to the namesake of the devs name lol
The story isnt really all that good and the writing isnt that great either but its fun. Like Dragonball which didnt really had super elaborate plots either
The strenght is the power fantasy, upgrades, "transformations", becoming more and more powerful (and in this case addionally more and more girls) which is quite similar to dragonball too.
But i feel Buu struggled to potray this really great for a while now, imo it was better in the beginning.
I still consider the fight against the shadow assassin the coolest fight (at least if you take laser eyes) and feel like Buu should give us way more of these kind of fights and showcases of MC's strenght.
But instead we get MC getting tricked by taron, fighting against skeletons, skipping a fight against a werewolf, have a super lame fight against a pirate lord, have REALLY DUMB jump&run encounters (who does that in a avn? lol) in our new jungle king storyline and so on.
We had the admiral fight i guess but even here MC struggled because of overconfidence.
Instead we get the LI's being enamored over very simple and unimpressive feats but talking like hes the most powerful god ever (despite a lack of showcase).
The powerfantasy aspect and Eliza are (imo) the best aspects of this avn and at the moment (and for quite some time) buu is not delivering at that front at all.
Additionally it feels like the mainstory, the Taron/church plot started mysterios and interesting but develops more and more lame and artificially delayed. I start to feel like im watching the blacklist or lost again
And 90% of the girls are just so fucking shallow, they remind more of lovesick puppys than real humans. And the LI's who have a bit of backstory and potential either get no screentime at all (Rin) or are kinda wasted (Alice).
Rant end, i still like nephilim ... i just think it could be so much better and more fun.
I don't agree that the mc struggled fighting the Admiral by being over confident. He seemed to take her pretty seriously from the start he just lost but for whatever reason that seems unbelievable to the people on this thread. I also don't really agree that Rin is all that deep and interesting a character. If anything I feel like she's actually worse about the whole love sick puppy thing. We haven't seen her do anything besides pin after the mc and the whole reason why she's even in the capital is that she hoped to see the mc one day.
The other LI also tend to be obsessed with the mc, but most of them still have stuff going on outside him, like Luna trying to break her mom's hex or the twins trying to retake the bay.
