So at the con last weekend someone shoved a laptop in my face with this MHA parody thing running, My Ero Story, and I gotta say the whole setup is jank in a way that loops back around to being perfect. The character sprites look like they were drawn by three different artists who never spoke to each other, Ochaco’s eyes are slightly too far apart in one scene and then perfectly fine in the next, and the background for the training ground is just a photo with a heavy filter slapped on. I live for that shit honestly.

The core loop is basically a corruption meter disguised as a leadership sim. You pick dialogue choices that push you toward inspiring these hero girls or straight up breaking them, and the game tracks it with this ugly little icon that shifts from a crown to a cracked skull. What got me was the uniform degradation system. Every time you lean into the tyrant path, the girls’ school outfits get progressively more disheveled, buttons popping, skirts riding up, and the text descriptions get real specific about the state of their tights. There’s a scene with Momo where she’s trying to give a class presentation while you’ve been messing with her head for three chapters, and the writing just lingers on how her blazer is hanging off one shoulder and she keeps tugging at her collar. No big animation, just this slow burn of fabric failing. The harem management screen is barebones but functional, basically a grid where you assign training tasks that double as fetish unlocks. I wish the game let you mix the leader and tyrant paths more fluidly instead of locking you into one track so early, but the modding scene is already doing unholy things with the character files. Someone on the discord ripped the sprite sheets and made a patch where the uniforms just fully give up during combat training, and honestly that should’ve been base game content.

The parody angle is thin but it works because the writing doesn’t pretend to be clever. Deku shows up once, gets shoved into a locker, and is never mentioned again. Perfect. No notes.
