I recommend people play the original version as this game is nowhere near broken or infuriating as Rape Reincarnation (Dieselmine)
As for
Lord of The Negative!'s review...
2nd paragraph: Dude, that's what Patch Up is for. If you get healed after every battle, that ability becomes pointless to use. Learn to patch up.
3rd paragraph: Considering the first chapter doesn't have animation either, and the artist not known of being an animator himself, I'm not too sure what standard you demand from him.
4th paragraph is where I actually agree on. Not a lot of characterization is definitely a problem and lacks any lasting sympathy for Mezz. This is one department you'll be sure there won't be a patch on.
"Patch Up" uses the energy before a fight, meaning you will enter the next fight with less energy. In a story telling perspective I don't see why Mezz can't use a bed or something to regain all health and energy, maybe even with the risk of having an item stolen, or it has a chance to give Mezz a sex state. That way before/after a fight of 7 grouped enemies, you have more elbow room, but at a cost.
As for standards I admit that mine may be too subjective and harsh, with my best "fallen hero" trope games, coming from "Circlekame" (also called Circle Kame elsewhere). But Hentai games aren't "new" and there are SO many for other creators to take great inspiration from. And of course in a story telling perspective a twink like Mezz falling could have so much potential! Just think about it, Mezz gets beaten and R*ped, and his trusty staff, an object that Mezz cares for, is used, and left inside him, after the R*pe. Now Mezz, with disgust, and agony has to take his beloved staff, from his ass, and as the battle weaken him, he has to use said staff to pull himself up, and leverage support. As he does Mezz is splashed with Cum from the victors. Looking at his staff almost in disgust, and pity. To then walk back to the city, and be faced with the mind control that forces him to stand before a crowd of people, to be humiliated again. With the only idea of encouragement he can muster, being that at least, it was himself, and not his staff...
Again, I maybe too subjective and harsh, or my tastes are just that hard to find in Gay RPG games. Being in love with "clothes damage" tropes, and "fallen hero" tropes. Heck I am even trying to learn how to draw, and am trying to research how the make games with mechanics like, "Parallel fantasy" games by Circlekame, and "Goblin Burrow" by Peperoncino (of which if anyone knows how to implement Clothing Damage, R*pe battles, and breeding, by all means point me where to find it, I know next to nothing yet, as I am still trying to learn the draw). I don't mind buying games, I just want fun ones...
