It's pretty straightforward of a game, I played it back when it was only japanese and used a page translator for the parts that was necessary to translate which worked out fine. Now that it's got an official translation that just makes it better.
Gameplay-wise it's somewhere between a VN and rpg with skill upgrades/corruption attempts and money making being various types of minigames. My initial impression of the minigames was neutral to negative, but once you realize that almost everything gets easier as long as you keep bringing your skills up then the game presents very little challenge.
Some people have said it's very grindy because most things cost a lot, and to a certain extent they are right - if you play it slowly it will take a lot of grinding. However, there are many ways to speed up progress if you just prioritize the right things. I would say that from start to finish, if you went for the correct items you could fairly easily finish the entire game in a few hours (obviously that would be skipping a lot of content and fast-forwarding through scenes).
The animated scenes are a mixed bag, many of them are copy pasted with pretty much just a different hairstyle for the different characters, but there are unique scenes to each of the characters as well. The only thing I would want more of in this game is options or locations for corruption/sex events but as it stands right now, there are plenty to see.
I would probably be rating this 4.5 out of 5 if I could, but I think the effort put into this game deserves the higher of the two rating choices because it's nice to see a developer actually follow through with their game, present a unique and good artstyle, and be active in the improvement of their game.
