As the first of its kind it's a fun time waster. It's unfortunate that the dev doesn't have the mindset of a dev. Too much focus on art, music, new ways to waste more of the players' time.
There is so much potential but with every update the gameplay stays consistently bland.
I think it's awesome that he found success and is even making it into an anime. But I can't say it's a good game when it's missing so much.

•Pros:
+Consistently updated
+Fun the first time through
+Cheap, or free on mobile
+DLC is cheap and worth it for people who haven't completed everything
+Will probably be supported for a long time
+Infinitely replayable
+Thrill of discovery

•Cons:
-New content is added frequently, but wierdly the new content changes very little and is highly forgettable
-Poorly optimized, even with the new engine
-Glitches from day one still aren't patched
-Total lack of balancing, some weapons and characters are identical except one of them is objectively worse
-Weapons are designed for function and uniqueness instead of being fun

Unique experience, though it could use more content. I understand that it's goal is to get you used to all kinds of scenarios, which it does really well tbh. But I think there should be a viable path for each creature even if it's difficult. This game/experience also suffers from the illusion of choice that narrative games often have. Saying something to have it be completely ignored, or to have the same response as any other choice doesn't feel great.
The endings were absolutely an afterthought. There were maybe two decent endings with conversations and an actual conclusion. While the rest were a few sentences long, made no sense, had no relation to your choices. The dev obviously had an intended creature for players to date.
I would recommend it as a unique experience, but with the caveat that it's the bare minimum of what a game like this should be. When the game actually tries to write dialogue and be unique it does a great job. Shame so much of the game is missing.

•Pros:
+Nails the realism of dating apps while staying in its own universe
+Nice art style
+Some funny, wholesome, emotional dialogue/scenes

•Cons:
-Illusion of choice
-Very little difference between playthroughs
-The fake customer support chat is terrible, starts off being helpful and well written and then has less and less options and starts insulting the player
-Endings are trash except for one (I didn't date any of the guys, so I can't comment on them)
-No special ending for your Visa expiring, you just get kicked out
-The player character is an obvious archetype and is very passive in dates
