Non-Con Quests Review
(I did as much editing as the QMs did, which is to say I didn’t.)


I’ve just spent a week hospitalized and thought the best use of my time there was to read non-con(read: rape) interactive fiction. For a board on 4chan, you’re all less adventurous than places like ao3 or w*ttpad. Normally you’d read this kind of stuff for, say, forbidden love, love-hate relationships, and heart-pounding romantic escapades. There’s none of that here.


>Goblin Quest

It’s not a non-con quest. Actually it’s not a rape quest. Even if it did have more a single instance of homosexual wolf relations in it, it falls short on just everything.

The prose is shit, the art is shit, the players are shit, and the 1d100 win-or-get-f*cked mechanics are unbelievably shit. All narrative is delivered through a tiny, knuckle-headed lens, and knowing this, the QM clearly had no desire to deliver on its blatant premise. Instead, he leads the players around by the nose while they run around blindly. Given just enough information to decide what they can do next, but not enough to create a plan. He sets up a few moments where he simply allows them to run wild with their misinterpretation of the world so they can hit their own shins. That’s really the only appeal of the quest.

There’s some other stuff that’s mildly interesting like using real world racism as a way of quickly conveying information. Unfortunately, it’s so tasteless it’s another smear of shit on this already mounting pile of half-assed ideas.


>Demonic Rebirth (*kun)

This is a quest about a person dying, getting chosen as a demon lord without doing anything, and then getting summoned into a high school. Because everything has to take place in a high school. It’s so f*cking bad. Goblin Quest was crude, but this is just actively offensive.

It’s written by someone who failed the Stanford marshmallow experiment, grew up, and decided to inject his weird self-worth issues into his creative endeavors. Normally, when you try to set up a scenario in the narrative, you don’t do it by having a character that doesn’t care exposit flippantly while reminding you just how little they’re invested. The story is composed of a precarious chain of egregiously blatant setups followed by immediate payoffs. You can read any scene and pin point the moment where the author just gives up and finish off as fast as possible so the next idea can start.

Nothing of the scenes mean anything. No one is impacted inside or outside of these unfinished R18 segments and no one even cares when they’re taking place. That describes my feelings towards this thing pretty well, actually. I don’t care.

The quest is worth a cursory glance to see how insecure the author is about his d*ck size.


>Under the Green Moon (*kun)

Easily the most well written quest so far. That also explains nothing, so I wager it’s a very unedited below-average book with a major crippling narrative/prose issue. I’d normally chalk it up to writing style, but that would imply the author knows how to write differently.

It’s a warhammer quest. Since I don’t care for the setting I’m not going delve into it, but the quest is about a beastman collecting other beastmen while committing sexual violence and also plain violence. The fights in this are completely deprived of stakes since lol powerful male dominance display (more issues?), and they’re also when the flaws in writing become blinding. Here’s a hot take: using big words doesn’t make paragraphs interesting. It might make a sentence fun to say, but after reading this for a few hours, it felt more a transcript of events droning forward with the same cold, mechanical rhythm of a bad dragon dildo piston. Except the piston might have a bit more life in it.

The sex scenes were definitely written by a man, and my sureness of that declaration should tell you everything. The last bit of my previous paragraph is still applicable, and they’re kind of... short? Not long enough, at the very least, to create any kind of meaningful emotional arc outside of a single scene.

The fight scenes are also resolved oddly. It looks like you pick a strategy and the author tells you how the MC wins with it. Um, okay. The MC is also the smartest, strongest, coolest person around with a big d*ck who can dominate through his big d*ck. Really, it plays out like a generic male power fantasy, so if you’re into that sort of thing, this is it. Ultimately tactless and graceless while being completely unable to truly emotionally connect, just like the mc.


>Recommendations

Under the green moon for any interested in blatant, sexual male power fantasy, Goblin quest for a quick skim and a laugh. It’s all shit all the way down regardless. Why did I even make this review?
