They completely missed the tone and characterization of the original game. There's no real resistance and breaking around, none of the other characters even make a cameo appearance - not even the protagonist's assistant, and the art direction is far too cheerfully bright to convey any of the tension of the novel.



The core idea is that the protagonist was transferred to a different academy after going on a sexual conquest spree at his previous place. That spree ended with one particular character fighting back and resulting in him getting expelled, while the incidents were hushed up. The character in question is Yuuna, the blue-haired one.

It happens that at the new/current school, he is aiming for Yuuna's sister, the pink-hair, and as a result Yuuna is back in the picture and knows about his misdeeds, so he tries to corrupt them both and force them to submit, as per his usual kink.

So, even without looking at the other characters from the new school, including his stepsister who is smitten with him and helps to set up various things, or the principal milf, you got a power dynamic and tension due to him not wanting to have the beans spilled, while also trying to convert both sisters into his harem. Yuuna's resistance is important to this triangle, and PoRO just basically dropped it on a whim. They featured some of the sex scenes, but abandoned most of the context they're in.

Heck, Yuuna immediately crumbles in this episode. "What are you doing?" "Oh, you know" "I understand". There's not even token resistance here.

In the game, you get a certain number of days to fool around, before your secret gets reported and you're forced to escape, resulting in a game over. If by that point you corrupted at least one character fully, you can pick their end and leave with the conquest. Each day offers various opportunities to talk to the characters and advance their plotlines, but if you go for the harem end, you have to be pretty careful not to waste time needlessly. At the end of the day you may end up confronted by your stepsister assistant and allowed to pick one of the characters to pursue for a scene, if they're around that day and you meet the requirements for it.

So between every scene, you have a certain amount of time passing - the plot does not rush through the scenes within 3 days or the likes, while PoRO's adaptation just blasts through two character arcs in a single episode, while doing a piss-poor job at showing their advancing corruption. You go from the protagonist blackmailing them in various ways to them throwing themselves willingly at him by the end.

The preview of the episode alone already shows some of the end stage scenes for the sisters, while lacking the severity of the situation. Heck, they couldn't even be bothered to feature any sort of ahegao, where the game has plenty of it. It's a pretty terrible game from a moral standpoint at the best of times - the protagonist is a despicable rapist and he breaks his victims into submission - but PoRO failed to convey that feeling at all. In delivery, Sansha Mendan's game version is pretty hardcore, where even the music underlines the theme. The OVA manages to feature rope bondage, threesomes and the likes while coming across as the most generic vanilla trash. And I love good vanilla hentai most of all.
