As a prequel to part 1 this is kind of a bait and switch. While it’s not a bad story, the tonal shift to a more vanilla storyline is kind of jarring, particularly after part 1’s voyeur/NTR theme. While Choko still remains as much of an exhibitionist as she was before, it’s now more purposefully directed at grabbing Satou’s attention, which I found weird because it was explained that her exhibitionism was more of a release from the expectations imposed on her by her family’s status - Satou in this sense was less of a romantic partner and more of an impartial witness.
Lastly, IND Kary said in the afterwords that the story is going to go somewhere catastrophic in the sequel, so it’s safe to say we’re in for another tonal shift back into NTR territory! Frankly I’m all for that, as I much preferred part 1 over this.
Of the currently avilable Choko stories, this is the less dark and rapey that the story gets, with most of the other chapters being full of taboo or just flatout gangrape.
If you don't like the darker sexual situations, the art can do a lot of heavy lifting if you started ignoring the word bubbles.
I regret nothing.
