I have terribly been addicted to a simple web game called Monster Musume. Fantastic Life. I have no idea. But this game has taken over my life.
I was browsing on the K-Manga app (not sponsored) so I can read The Medalist. However, this app you read chapters by spending points. However, they also allow you to complete challenges to earn free points. So I take a look at the chapter program and what do I see here? For 4,000 points, which is about $42. Get to level 11 on this game called Mon-something. And I’m like, whatever. Level 11 is easy. That is a single day’s worth of work.
Now why did I click on this game in particular? It’s because ever since the beginning of time, I’ve been into monster girls. Whether it’s your Felicia & Morrigan from Darkstalkers or Alice & Jenny from Primal Fury. I loved monster girls. In fact, my first eroge was this game right here.
I played this game back in 2011 or 2010 so it has been awhile since I played this game. In fact, I didn’t even think it was the game, but after spending an entire couple of days trying to find this game just for this video. It became clear that this was the only option.
So of course, I’m going to play another game about Monster Girls. Little did I know that I was going to dive into something so insane. This is your menu. You are bombarded with this menu here of so many different buttons, so much different variety.
The game’s art is incredible. This looks just like Monster Musume and as someone who never read the manga or watched the anime. I really like the art! There are no voices & there’s a repeating annoying music track that plays. Also the sound effects are bad too.
Allies
The characters that you use to play are called “allies”. They help you fight in combat & other stats. They do so much for you. The trait experience is how you can level up traits to get bonuses on skills. You can also use stat books & skill tickets to level up traits as well.
They also have something called the Dojo experience which allows them to get crit rate and crit damage bonuses when we go to the dojo. You can also level up the Allies stats via XP or even give them potions, which will also grant stat increases.
Girls
They also have something called Girls. Allies are characters that you play with. Girls are basically the support characters for those allies. The girls in this game are absolutely insane. I don’t know how to else to explain this, but you essentially have to go on dates with these girls & when you’re not dating them you’re fucking them. It’s absolutely insane.
This is why this is a web game and not a game that you play on mobile. I’ll just be perfectly honest. You give them a bunch of jewelry to increase their different stats so that they can be a better asset to your allies in other gameplay, combat, and whatnot. Because each of these girls are assigned to three different allies. You cannot assign a girl to any ally. So sometimes you’re just going to be basically out of luck if you have a girl that doesn’t match with any of your allies. Either way, you basically have sex and they increase your stats. You give them gifts to eventually earn grace & charm that you can use to further increase the bonuses that they give to other characters.
Snow Inn
Also did I forget to mention you are doing this all at a place called the Snow Inn. At the Snow Inn, you can also host parties. Parties are such a wild thing. You go into a party, you can join someone else’s party, someone else on the server, and you can negotiate with them for different things, I guess. You can trade with them. It’s your trading spot. But I love it because it introduces the negotiating business aspect of Japanese business where you go out to drinks and you negotiate business deals. This is a legitimate thing in Japanese culture. So it’s very interesting that they are able to make that work in this game. But it’s what a bizarre concept for a game.
There is also an area called guides where you can use points earned via Parties & Hot Springs to buy items that further boost your character skills. It’s crazy. The other thing is that you have the Hot Springs. Depending on how busy the server is, you will need to find a free spot in the Hot Springs. This overtime is basically your passive income to increase your girl’s stats so that they can further be useful to your allies when you’re doing all the actual real gameplay stuff in the game. This game is so thirsty, but I appreciate it. It’s kind of ridiculous. It’s very dumb, but I really can’t stop playing it.
Farm Girls
Now I talked about Allies, Girls, but let me tell you about Farm Girls. These are girls that you find by strolling. You’re adventuring through this world, attempting to find, you know, girls. You are based off a bunch of essentially luck. You have like a luck meter, and you’re just trying to find other girls. Now, you can travel, or sorry, I just specifically say you are trying to find girls as well as farm girls. You’re finding them both. But you can travel with girls to make it easier for you to find farm girls. And if you run into the same girl multiple times, eventually, they will join your team. So you got to repeatedly keep going, keep finding all the girls. It’s so important because, like I said, the girls play a central role in making sure that they support the characters, the allies that you have on your side, and they give you all the stat bonuses. And also, it’s just a really easy and nice way to get girls.
Now once you have Farm Girls you place them on a farm to raise them. I’m not kidding you. You are raising these girls in a farm and they help increase your stamina and they also help increase the player stats. There’s a difference between the your ally stats and then the actual player stats, which, look, oh my god, when I’m telling you that this game is ridiculous and wild, I really mean it. If you feed the farm girls enough candy, they will grow up. And then what happens when they grow up? Well, you can exchange them to other players for additional stats. Also the premium currency, known as diamonds, gives you additional bonuses and additional boosts.
Home
Now, I’m throwing all these things at you because I just, I want you to feel a little bit of being overwhelmed because that’s how I felt when I dove into this game. And now that I am understanding it. I just want to play more of this game. Let me tell you, this is your home and this is where you can get passive income & your stat bonuses.
You can assign Allies to rooms that will grant you premium currency over time. There is a Guests area where random characters will show up at random times to give you random items. The game is always trying to give you free stuff.
We also have an Advice area. Advice is a very interesting area in the game. Basically, it will grant you either player experience or just grant you whatever item is shown on the advice thing. More ways to get extra things.
You also can have Mia cook for you. And you basically give her ingredients that you find throughout the game. And you are rewarded with items depending on the ingredients you provide for her.
The Chores section puts the Allies to work and they start washing the dishes. Yes, I know how this looks. Luckily, after unlocking five sinks, you can then have them automatically clean and automatically complete. So a bit of a time saver. Either way, this also earns you other stats, specifically your dojo and trait experience.
Explore
The best way to gain Player Experience & Lumber to upgrade your home is via the Explore menu. This is the beginners combat experience. I’m at level eight. It has been three or four days since I started playing. The reason why I’m making this whole video is because I am so addicted to this game that I just need to get this game off my chest because I’m hoping that I’ll be less addicted if I made this video.
At day one, I got to level seven and then I hit a wall and that wall is Explore. This mode basically allows you to adventure through the game running into… you’re basically beating up all the women that you’re trying to collect. I can’t understand. I can’t understand why this is the case. This is the choice of their gameplay, but this is exactly what is happening on screen. And in fact, you can turn on auto-mode to make this a hand-free experience. You auto battle each of the stages, the bosses, the game even auto moves you through each stage so you don’t ever have to click okay to go to the next stage. It will do that for you.
And at a certain point, you’ll get to a point where you fight a boss. And the bosses in this game could not be more frustrating. You auto attack the boss with your Allies. Each character gets one strike at the boss. Each of your Allies has a determined amount of damage that they can do to the boss based off the stats that you have given them. However, what happens when you’re out of characters? You can’t attack until the next daily reset when you Allies can be used again. You can earn a fight hourglass which is given from events & premium currency, but even then. The fight hourglass only grants you 1 additional strike from a single Allies.
Now, the exploration aspect of this game is the only possible way for you to gain any sort of player experience that is consistent. If you do advice, you get experience equal to your level so right now, I get 8 points of experience. If you do exploration, you’re getting about, I would say, I think like 40 or 50 per stage in the exploration with the boss giving you only like 25 or 30 character points or like player points. So like this is really the best and most reliable way to get player experience. But you gotta grind the Allies to make sure they have enough stats to beat the boss.
At chapter 15, you will unlock Fast Explore, which allows you to skip seeing each level. However, you do see fight the boss normally. They made the gameplay so simple, but at the same time, the bosses are so extremely difficult compared to the stages that they really want you to just go through it. I don’t know, man. It is absolutely ridiculous.
Dojo
Another combat mode is fighting against players in the dojo. And the dojo is actually a lot of fun. Like I mentioned before your dojo experience gives you additional crit rate and crit damage. You get the choices of choosing different buffs as you’re fighting a player’s set of characters. You gain Dojo experience, but you also gain Trait experience to actually level up your characters so it is always worth playing in the Dojo.
This game loves to rank players against each other on a leaderboard & as you can already guess, it is their way to sell microtransactions. This game is built like an early 2010s mobile game. There isn’t a story. It’s all about clicking and paying money. And you know what? I kind of like it. I kind of like the nostalgia factor of like, Hey, I just had to click. Games like Genshin Impact require hundreds of hours to play. It takes over your life. With this game, you just do a few clicks here & there & you’re done for the rest of the day. You don’t even have to come back to it. There’s no story to keep you from constantly opening up the game. It’s just the fun of clicking a single button over and over and over.
Town
The town has so many more areas to visit. In fact, you can even see that I have not reached a level high enough to get City Explore. From my understanding though, once you get level 10, you unlock the ability to get gear for your characters, which provide additional stat bonuses to your allies. City Explore is how you find those gear. So at this moment, I am not high enough level to even do any kind of gear stuff.
We also have the skin shop. The skin shop is basically where you have skin coins and you can give a skin coin and basically see if you get prizes. You can earn a lot of prizes. Currently, I am trying to unlock this girl’s new outfit. So we’re nearly there. I think I need like six more of those token tickets. You also have other things to purchase based off your collection tickets. I don’t know. You can also buy an outfit for this character as well. This stuff constantly refreshes. And of course, like I said, top left, you can also buy if you want. The game really wants you to buy.
Next up is Rank. This refreshes every day. And you get rewarded for being top rank daily on the server. You have different things like how many places you’ve explored, your charm levels, the furthest you’ve explored etc.
Guild
There are also guild stuff, which at the moment, I’m carrying this guild on my back. There are raids where you fight a guild boss as a team. Guild Tasks are basically earned by just playing the game normal each day. Contributions use up your premium currency of diamonds that you can use to contribute to the guild. If you contribute to the guild more and more, that increases your guild’s experience. Yes. The only way to increase your guild’s level is by using premium currency. The more you contribute, the more you have the option to buy certain items and they will unlock as you level up. At a certain point, you can have these large funding packs, which I believe will probably cost real world money at some point. Also if the Guild Leader is inactive for awhile, an election is automatically held to promote a new guild leader.
Mon HQ
The Mon HQ is basically where you assign a party of your Allies who will go through another auto battler and they’ll essentially just shoot dudes. Okay, this is the confusing part. I’m not sure why we are wielding guns & wearing riot gear. Basically, the better you do, you can earn up to three stars and each of those three stars gives you additional rewards. Fans of the anime or the manga, does this make sense? Is this part of the show? Do the girls dress up in police riot gear and start shooting people?
Forest
The Forest is so interesting because it is a timed event. A giant tree fight & a tree rampage mode. I’m not quite sure what the fetish is here, but in forest, we are shooting girls. I just, I just don’t, I just don’t know what’s happening. Why are we shooting them? They’re so hard. Why, why, why, why is this? Like literally the, the camera shakes like you’re shooting. It’s funny because it’s your own Allies shooting their own Girls. All this leads to is that every time you’re doing all of these different missions and on all these different modes, they give you points that you can spend for upgrade materials, or in this case, you can even unlock a new character. They have a lot of different options on how to play and you can earn rewards based on that.
To be fair, I found this to be the most successful in giving me like player experience, but obviously it’s like time for a single hour each day. So it’s very difficult to get to it.
Expo
Yes, the Japanese expo. Just when I thought the game could not be any more complex. You can start your own expo. Essentially when you start an expo, a certain number of people depending on the size of your expo can join. Based on that you get a certain amount of rewards & the people joining also gain rewards as well. Typically, the expo menu is empty, but as soon as the daily reset occurs is when I’ve seen players use the Expo feature.
There’s also Feasts. When I say I get like addicted to this game, there are like a lot of charming elements to it. Like even though the party element where you’re negotiating items with players is so bizarre, it’s kind of cool. And the feast is another charming element. It is a way for you to celebrate when you unlocked a new Ally & you can invite other players to join in. Players can bring you gifts during these feasts. The player who is trying to join your feast can only has options to use premium currency to give you a gift, which, hey, it’s nice. It just allows players to be nice to each other and give out premium items to other players. And you earn fame.
Fame is used for a lot of unique items in the shop, specifically bond proof. Bond proof allows you to increase the bond between the girls and the allies. Skin coins, basically back at the skin shop, you can use those. XP crystals, which is how you increase your player experience, which once again, they’re so limited and it’s only 50. Keep in mind right now, I am trying to get to level nine and I need 8,000. Nothing in this game offers anything above like 70 XP. Actually think that 50 XP is the most that you can get from anything. Even, even playing the exploration side of the game, you do not get that amount of player experience per, per stage. Obviously over the course of a single chapter, you can, but in terms of a single stage, you don’t get anything above a 50. So like this is like very valuable. So you spend premium currency, you, for someone’s fees, you do get fame points.
X-Server Expo
This works identically to Expo, but this is cross server so even if you are on a dead server. You can still earn rewards by creating & joining an expo. Once again, the common habit for players is to start an Expo right at Daily Reset. Your goal is to get over 200 players so you can maximize the most rewards for both yourself & players including earning more Fame.
This game really gives you so many free items. And although this game is such a grind, there’s just a part of me that still really likes it and like really enjoys it.
Downtown
This might seem crazy. Downtown has a restaurant. Now, there are no servers or waiters at this restaurant. So I need to go find an empty table. I can either scroll down a menu of tables to find an open one or if my player level is high enough. Also by performing events, I unlock titles for your player. This will grant me bonuses, but also will help me fight players here. I earn rewards for how long I can sit at that table.
To the left & right of the restaurant is the museum and the art gallery. This work identically to the restaurant, but the Art Gallery is based on how much I’ve leveled up a team of 5 Girls & the museum is based on how much I have leveled up a team of 5 Allies. It is basically a way for you to show off your whale’d character. Also the closer you are to the top of the area, the more rewards you earn.
Contests
Now the game keeps going a little bit deep. Contests are all based around the idea of doing normal tasks in the game. Most of which you will want to be doing with your guild. But you are competing against everyone else on the server.
However, some contests become Conquests. In Conquest, you own a piece of property in the game. And this basically just gives you rewards. Like you, not only do you own a location in the game for a week, you are now dispatching people to do tasks for you to better improve your guild and your players experience and your allies experience. Like it’s a huge buff to your entire party, your entire guild. It’s absolutely crazy.
Now these contests are pay-to-win because right above the Contest button is a Ranking Pack, which sells you the exact materials needed to improve your ranking in each of the available contests. This is a frequent thing that happens throughout this entire game where every single aspect of this game, a thousand percent, you can purchase currency, except for player experience.
Events
The events in this game are very unique. All you do in these games is you click and you just keep clicking and certain games require, like this game was just a clicking game. However, the fortune game requires you to use a certain item. And to be fair, most of the time that I played this game, the events have always been collect an item. How do you get these items? Well, you use non-premium & premium currencies. Events have a daily cap of points you can earn, which you can only bypass by paying real money. Also since everyone has this daily cap, it is ideal for you to be the first person at daily reset to reach the cap because most players will end up being tied for points so as long as you were first. You will rank higher. The rank in the events will grant you a lot of incredible rewards, which most of them include a new Ally or Girl if you rank high enough.
In this example, You are helping Miia shed her scales and you are purchasing, uh, and let me tell you, okay, there’s no sound to this. I checked multiple times. There is no sound at all. She’s making the movements of someone who is…doing the deed. I promise you. I wish there was sounds. There was not. There’s no voice acting or no even voice humming or voice noises at all. It is just silent. Yeah.
There’s also a game where you’re literally milking a character and the character has hoses on their nipples and you’re just milking them. Same gameplay where you’re just buying items and then pressing another button to use items. It is so wild.
VIP
There are a lot of things that you can do to purchase and get money. There s is a $35 outfit that you can purchase. They sell so many packs of $5, $1, even 9 cents. This game has a lot of mental games. They have a lot of currencies that a lot of payments that are under a dollar. Lots of clever ways to get you to add your credit card to their game so it makes it easier to spend money in the future. I’m pretty sure I’ve spent $5 worth of purchases from less than a $1 packs. Either way, they really want you to spend money to get character.
As you spend money, you earn VIP. In many areas of the game like the Girls. If you are at VIP level 3, you can date all, which makes the dating mechanic so much easier. VIP unlocks different mechanics that make life way easier for you. VIP is a lifetime thing. So once you hit a certain VIP level, you can continue on to the next. VIP 13 is currently the max level, which is basically 4 million experience. When you’re starting at zero, to get VIP one, you need 499 XP.
This is where things get even whale, whalier. How much is it? Basically, if you were to purchase the 89 cents bundle, this would give you the most amount of VIP experience per cent. I don’t know why that is. That’s just how the math came out to be. That being said, obviously, you do get way more premium gems for the price. But if you were just looking to increase that VIP experience, which to be fair, does feel like the most useful of everything, you just want to keep spending here and here and here. And if I’m remembering the math correctly, it’s $50,000. And that’s ridiculous.
Technically, there are better ways to get VIP experience. I think they look anytime you buy something in this game, it always like gives you a bunch of VIP experience. There is no reason to be buying gems at a normal price, you’d probably just be purchasing bundles because they give you better VIP. I don’t know, man, there’s just so much to offer in this game.
There is an Exchange program which is how you pull for new characters. And what’s interesting is that each of these, each of the allies also has their own girl variety. Also really encouraging you to spend more money.
Why did I play this? It’s because I was trying to get $42 worth of points to use on K manga so that I can read more manga. That led me to being addicted to Monster Musume that I enjoy because it’s so simple. It runs on a web browser. So literally, you can just load this up on any device and just click on things. Now, technically, the K manga thing gave me an entire month to get to level 10. Getting to level seven in a day really gives me the hope that I can make it to 10. But it is painful how slow it goes. I’m figuring it out. I’m gonna I’m figuring out I feel like I’m confident enough that I can get enough player experience to get to level 11.
But they make it so difficult to even get to player level 11. It is absolutely ridiculous. But hey, if you’ve never heard of this game, I don’t know if I should say you’re welcome. Maybe don’t play it. I’m not quite sure. I had a ton of fun playing it. In fact, I’m still going to be playing this game because I want to get to level 11. But hey, it’s nice to look at the 2D girls.
I can’t say whether this game is good or bad for you, but I enjoyed being transported to a time when mobile games were simple & even though it was trying to gut me of all my money. I still had a ton of fun! Thank you!
