How I Became the Bodyguard of the Saintess

Editorial Has potential

How I Became the Bodyguard of the Saintess has built genuine enthusiasm around its story and character work. Players consistently praise the narrative depth, world-building, and character development—particularly the reluctant protagonist's slow growth and the compelling heroines. The dialogue and prose have rougher patches (grammar issues, awkward word choices), but community sentiment is that strong storytelling carries the game well past these flaws. Romance and explicit content arrive gradually rather than immediately, which some initially miss but come to appreciate once invested in the narrative. Development has slowed noticeably; the last devlog was over 200 days ago at 90% completion of one route, raising abandonment concerns. The game itself runs stably for most players, though a few older saves have reported freezes at specific story beats. For players valuing story-first fantasy VNs with multiple branching routes and patient character-building over quick gratification, this is worth the wait—but prospective players should expect a slow burn and accept that content rollout has stalled.
