The Humbling of a Holy Maiden is a corruption-focused kinetic novel where, instead of playing as a hero from another world ready to kick the Demon Lord's ass, you're just a regular isekai'd guy who spends the time doing mundane tasks, such as gardening and sharing his knowledge with the Holy Maiden. Things take a turn when the Demon Lord is defeated, and the Holy Maiden asks him [i]to humble her[/i] (if you catch my drift) so people stop seeing her as someone who's above them.
It's a decent story with a few twists and some misquoted biblical references added for comedic effect. What I like the most about the game is how the corruption element is consensual instead of being forced into one of the characters. The priestess is the one who comes to the protagonist and asks him to corrupt them until she becomes a cock-loving slut. On the downside, the plot is a bit simple and predictable, and some bits are unnecessarily wordy and complex.
As for the art, it surprised me that the aspect ratio was 4:3 instead of 16:9, but the art's quality is so good it's easy to overlook that detail. Moreover, it has 14 nicely drawn CG sex scenes featuring different kinds of sexual degradation. The scenes are nothing too out of the ordinary, except for two of them that are a bit gross because, you know, creampies and watersports don't mesh well together.
Verdict: Good
The Humbling of a Holy Maiden is the kind of VN you'll love if you care more about the quality of the art and sex scenes than its story. That doesn't mean the plot is bad or anything of the sort, but you may find it a bit lacking if you're looking for something with more substance.
