How Many Times Until It’s Over?! (Pe-B4)

Editorial Review

★3.6 / 5 — henhenta editorial rating (our own assessment, not the DLsite official user score)

A hyperlink anthology masquerading as a single narrative, this work exploits the NTR genre’s appetite for scenario variation by literalizing it through interdimensional hopping. Each transfer strips the protagonist of context and agency, dumping him into a fresh scenario with new art, new rules, and new sexual dynamics. It’s a structure that prioritizes novelty over coherence—which is either its greatest strength or most fundamental weakness depending on your tolerance for fragmentation.

The 13-illustrator approach is the real draw here. Rather than chasing stylistic consistency, Pe-B4 weaponizes diversity: each world-jump brings not just new characters but genuinely distinct visual presentations and artist sensibilities. This variety masks what might otherwise feel like repetitive NTR beats, though it also means tonal and quality whiplash is built into the experience. You’re not playing a game; you’re sampling a doujin artist collective’s interpretations of “what if the hero lost again?”

The parallel worlds framing is clever worldbuilding camouflage—it justifies why continuity doesn’t matter and why the protagonist’s status resets each transfer. The opening fantasy scenario (hero, princess, arch-mage siege) grounds things just enough before the game explodes into its true nature: a vehicle for rapid-fire scenario shifts. The “critical moment” framing suggests each transfer triggers during vulnerability, maintaining thematic coherence even as everything else dissolves.

This is essential for NTR enthusiasts who crave scenario density without emotional investment in a single protagonist’s trajectory. The multiple routes tag likely refers to divergent paths within each world before the inevitable transfer. However, players seeking narrative cohesion or character development should look elsewhere—this is pure ludic promiscuity, designed for players who view the visual novel format as a delivery system for fresh scenarios rather than a storytelling medium.
