So I gave this AVN a try and it was about average.
The story was pretty good, AI is an interesting and controversial subject and the idea of Ai girlfriends even more so. If you think about it, its essentially the subject of movies like Bladerunner.
But there were many, many issues I found with this AVN.
First the spelling and grammar need a ton of work. Most of the time the spelling is fine, but the overall use of language is poor. Its technically correct but sounds stilted or awkward to a native English speaker.
Secondly the choices presented in this AVN don't really matter. I went through the whole story rejecting or refusing every single lewd, doing my best to ruin every single relationship and do you know what I noticed?
A lot of the time the story behaves as if I had been chasing after all the girls, doing all the nice stuff.
This was epitomized by the character Kyuu, I had the MC reject her and yet even after the scene with her walking away and the AVN explicitly stating that the rejection was final I still saw another scene with Kyuu and the MC being romantic.
Almost like the choice was offered but not really followed through on...
My advice on how to handle this Illusion of choice problem is the same advice I give every Dev I see it from (Which is most). Get rid of it, turn this AVN into a Kinetic Novel. You will save time and energy by simplifying the Dev process.
If your unwilling to completely convert the AVN into a KN then consider putting in an option to switch it back and forth from AVN to KN. But that's more programming, rather than less, hence why I suggest just getting rid of the choices altogether. Just assume your readers want to see all the lewds and get it over with.
Thirdly I think there might be too many girls in this AVN. I like variety but this is getting ridiculous. I think that it would be better if there were fewer characters so that more time could be spent developing those selected characters.
Finally I would like to say that looking at your Development Log, it looks like you have a fast dev time. Roughly 3 months per release.
That is extremely impressive! Most devs struggle to maintain a 6 month release schedule so seeing such a fast dev cycle is just so remarkable.
