[Is this 'Aka Teaching Assistant' designed to be broken? It's been a week, and now I've got two copies, haha]

"I beat Diablo in 13 hours, but is there really a game where I can't capture a single heroine in a whole week?!"
[Comments] [In order of posting]
▶[Newbie]: Yeah… It's normal. Still, two chapters a week is pretty decent. I've been playing since release, and I'm still stuck in Chapter 2.
▶[Long live the Banryong]: Here's a shocker—can this game even have a harem route? If you try even a little, just a tiny bit, a smidge, a sliver, a speck, a crumb, a dash, a pinch, a whisper, a hint—
▶[Nippo Mine]: Dumbass, lol. No one's captured a heroine yet, and they're already chasing a harem route, haha. Gave up.
▶[Tprtmaktmxj]: No, the assistant's one thing, but the battle difficulty is fucking insane. If you don't grind levels, you're screwed. If you waste time grinding, you can't raise the assistant percentage and end up doing jack shit. Fuck this.
▶[Ah S2X]: A game that's all about the heroine hype. Spend 100 hours on a yagame and still can't see a single CG. If it's gonna be like this, why bother with a yagame? I deleted it before my brain melted and went to watch heroine memes instead~
▶[Tprtmaktmxj]: Why're you the only one watching? Where you at? If you're going, at least show the goods before you dip!
Countless posts flood the community bulletin boards.
More than 99% of them are rants and curses about the game's brutal difficulty.
Exactly. This game was made to be cursed.
It's been a month since release.
Take a good look—no one's captured a single main heroine in a game that's been out for a whole month.
Can you even imagine how tough this thing is?
But here's why it's still selling:
NPC interactions so real it's like they stuffed actual people in there.
Aside from the main heroine, an endless lineup of side heroines—like the fruit shop lady and her daughter—ripe for the taking. (Sure, you can hit on them, but good luck clearing the game.)
Graphics so stunning it's like reality got dragged into the screen.
And despite all that, perfect optimization with zero lag.
"Still doesn't change the fact it's a goddamn crapshoot."
I smirked, glancing at the post again.
In the community right now, the top play is someone who's clawed their way to the second half of Chapter 2.
Even that's only because they ditched the main heroine assistant from the start and went all-in on leveling to scrape by the story.
I've done that already, so I know how it ends.
Fucking around.
Even if you pull that off, if you don't train the main heroine assistant, you won't even glimpse the Chapter 2 boss.
Worse, the save data gets overwritten right before the shitty ending credits roll, forcing you to start from scratch.
Grinning, I pictured the rage of that guy who'd scream about it later and typed up my own post:
['Aka Assistant Teacher' – Lucia Urella Route 100% Achieved.JPG]
[TTQ123]
「〈 Lucia Urella Route 〉 100% Training Route 〈☆☆★★★〉
Her clinginess isn't half bad.
Especially once Lucia's assistant training hits over 95%—she's basically the protagonist's living, breathing fuckhole.
She obeys almost every command, even coughing up info and items to train other heroines.
That sense of domination, compared to her stuck-up attitude at the start, more than makes up for the fury you feel breaking her in.
That said, the training's littered with bullshit 'guess or die' events…
To sum it up in three lines: I don't need all the games called [Academy's Assistant Teacher], I just wanna fuck the girls! Recommend it to anyone who feels the same, but if you're not ready to grind an RPG in a yagame, stay the hell away."

While everyone else is stuck mid-Chapter 2, I target one heroine and drop the proof.
That sweet superiority of nailing a heroine before anyone else?
I can't get enough of this high.
I hit "post" and sipped my coffee, wetting my lips as the comment notifications blew up.
As expected, it's a goddamn explosion.
Smirking, I scrolled through the replies:
▶[Newbie]: Holy shit… Did you actually clear it?
▶[My butthole]: Masterpiece. I tried almost the same thing and still couldn't crack it.
▶[It's like S2X]: You idiot, it's 'TTQ123.' This bastard's the real deal.
▶[My butt is mine]: Haha, TTQ123, huh? No one's better at sex games than this guy.
▶[Tprtmaktmxj]: Heard you're streaming this shit?
▶[Long live Banryong]: TTQ123's a god! TTQ123's a god! TTQ123's a god! TTQ123's a god!
Even the doubters who thought I was bluffing caved once they saw my username.
But after the praise, the comments took a weird turn:
▶[Newbie]: So when's the 'Mesgaki' bitch guide coming? I don't wanna bother—it's too fucking annoying.
▶[It's like S2X]: That's the tough one. No clue how to crack her. If it's TTQ123, though, we'll see it next week.
▶[My butt is mine]: Y'all don't get TTQ123's vibe yet. Next week, it's the witch, guaranteed.
My grin froze.
When the comments shifted from hype to betting on my next heroine, I couldn't take it anymore and slammed the community window shut.
"Haa… How the hell do you clear a second run?"
My head's already throbbing. Truth is, clearing Lucia was damn near a miracle.
Six instances per monitor from day one.
Eighteen games running at once.
Minus eating, sleeping, and shitting, I was at it 20 hours a day.
Through endless events, only one pulled off a 100% training route.
Even then, it took over a month to max out her assistant stats.
If you focus on just one like the other scrubs, you're looking at well over a year.
"Honestly… You should be grateful you cleared it at all."
Even that was dumb luck with random events lining up perfectly. I wouldn't bet on doing it again.
Sighing, I fired up Academy's Assistant Teacher again.
The loading screen alone makes me wanna puke, but I can't quit.
If I don't snag the next heroine soon, the "overrated" crowd will crawl out of the woodwork.
Then it's game over.
Playing games is my livelihood—ad revenue's everything. Lose my rep as a gaming god, and this life's toast.

"Motherfuckers at the dev studio, who puts combat this brutal in a yagame, seriously…"
My fingers shook over the Continue button. I held off just long enough to fire off an email to the devs.
Started polite, but it ended up a profanity-laced rant.
Hard to quote the swearing exactly, but it boiled down to: "Catch a mild case of god-game syndrome, nerf the difficulty, and fix the damn ending."
"Even if it's harsh, they'll get it…"
Ding-
A reply hit my inbox almost instantly. I blinked—didn't expect a response to a curse-filled email.
[Your feedback has been reviewed. It's full of profanity, but we understand your passion for the world. Unfortunately, a difficulty patch isn't feasible. This is already the most balanced outcome allowed by the world's causal laws.]
What the hell kind of gibberish was this?
"Causal laws" probably meant balance, but users are screaming it's dogshit.
[Fuck, if you're making a game like this, why call it a yagame? Just make it an RPG.]
[…Is there an issue? Simulations showed releasing it as a yagame gave the best shot at saving the world… Uh… Because lust is the ultimate way to push human limits…]
[This is fucking insane. If you're doing a yagame, at least research it. It's a brick as-is. If he's an ero-game protag, give him some badass lines, not just 'Got it' or 'That's how it is.']
[…But those were the top picks in the simulation results.]
[Yeah, your simulation's fucked. And the ending's a mess too. Without that ending, it'd be a chill game. I caught the god-game bug and ate it up. Maybe the director's an idiot, so the game's idiotic too~ Haha, let's team up and search instead.]
After unloading that emotional email, the instant replies stopped.
I started wondering if I'd gone too far when—
[…The world turned out like this because of me?]
A response popped up.
The second I read it, my guilt melted away, replaced by a rush of glee.
Holy shit, this guy was the director.
If my self-deprecating jabs pissed her off, she'd have dropped the formal tone and gone off in casual speech.
[You're the director, lol. Yeah~ You fucked the game with shitty oversight. All your fault~]
[Why's this on me? I did my best. I gave everything to save the world.]
[Sure, director diff sg~ Don't make another yagame. You'll just botch it again. Real talk, I'd do better supervising with my dick than you did, lmao…]
[…Oh? Give it a shot then.]
Suddenly, a blinding white light blasted from the monitor.
"What the fuck—?!"
My whole body got swallowed by the glow. I knew something was off, and when the light faded, a single line appeared on the screen in the now-empty room:
[This bastard.]
