VN Ren'Py Myth of Slayer [Ch. 1 - Public] [Oldcat]

Finished the current content. Really good despite my earlier complaints. Not all is as it seems.

Looks like the game is going to be more story focused than sex focused, which isn't an issue as the story seems interesting so far

now you have me really worried, coherent storytelling isn't the devs strong suit not in the slightest

i think right now its all about character development and introducing new characters.. the story telling part comes after characters are all introduced.. why tell a story if you have no idea who the characters are .. its called building .. and so far he has done a great job building up characters while keeping light and funny .. great job dev

Egad... so much crazy stuff in the comments. Who cares if the dev ripped off some anime/manga, except that it maybe means it needs the Parody tag? Let's just deal with the game itself so ppl reading the comments don't get totally confused.
In that vein, while I don't do "actual" reviews on initial releases, this one so far looks pretty good. Renders are reasonably well done, lighting is at least decent (and well above many HS2 avn's). The characters look good and act relatively like a normal person in their position would act. Whether or not they are versions of anime characters, they are interesting and that's good enough.
I even like the fact that the game doesn't jump straight into full-on sex at the first opportunity, but holds it til near the end of the chapter to focus on telling the story (and even then it doesn't.. quite.. go as expected lol..)
Overall, ignoring for now the apparently-missing Parody tag, I'd give it a good, solid 3.5/5 (with the caveat that I don't give 5 stars for 0.1 releases no matter how good they are.) I'll be keeping an eye on it and adding it to my A-list folder. Nice job, dev. Might wanna think about that Parody tag, though. Save us all these irritating arguments, ya? Peace...

I don't think I need to put a parody tag here. Yes, I'm not going to lie. I was very inspired by Solo Leveling. I liked the manhwa, so I used its setting of the story in my game, but it's just a setting. I don't use any of the dialogue, the plot of Solo Leveling, but my imagination. Of course, there's a possibility that it's similar to something else, for example, Alesia, to be honest, I didn't realize that she has a lot of similar to SL's female lead until someone mentioned it. I just wanted her to have that color of hair because it suited her in my opinion.
However, using a certain setting in your own work doesn't count as a parody in my point of view. Otherwise, many manga or anime with monster, portal, hunter themes would be Solo Leveling parodies, manga or anime with virtual MMORPG game themes would all be SAO parodies, even though those works have different creative ideas.

Makes sense.The only reason I even called it to your attention was because there was so much flak about that in this thread, so I didn't want you gettign in trouble or anything. I personally haven't seen SL, so I can't say whether anything here resembles it or not. I can say that I like the game. Please keep up the good work.

Yeah, I've read it. Everyone has their own way of thinking I guess.
