Being an Adventurer Is Not Always the Best is a 2D fantasy adventure RPGM game by DYNAMO, presented with 3DCG visuals. Players take on the role of a male protagonist in an isolated village in a fantasy setting filled with magic and swords, where friendships and rivalries are tested and the adventurer dream may turn into a nightmare. Netorare content is avoidable.
The current build is Update 2, released March 6, 2024, and development remains ongoing. It runs on Windows in English and is uncensored. This update added a Relationship Stats section and a Save Room, with unlock information for scenes. It also introduced Mia and Cal quests, the start of the main quest, an extra Amelia and Kase interaction scene, and an expanded northern village area leading to a waterfall.

Update 2
The second update of the game is now available. During the first month, I added the Relationship Stats section and the SaveRoom. The Relationship Stats section took the longest to develop, as it required significant effort to implement what I wanted to achieve in a program like RPGMaker, which takes a bit of work. In future updates, I will be able to add more content to advance the story since I won't have to deal with doing this again.
In the second month, I added Mia and Cal's Quests, as well as the beginning of the Main Quest, and added an extra scene featuring the first interaction between Amelia and Kase. In the Save Room, it is possible to find information on how to unlock certain scenes. Additionally, I expanded the northern part of the village, which leads to the waterfall and a training area that will be useful in future updates.
The old saves will no longer be useful due to various fixes and adjustments I had to make. I advanced the story in Save File 1, but I couldn't reach the point where update 2 begins. I wanted to upload the update before leaving for family reasons, as I won't be able to use my computer for the next three days. It will be possible to change the player's name in the room.

The game would have an interesting premise however it crashed on me 2 times allready wasting a lot of my time. Would not recommend. There is no way RPG Maker should be this buggy. Renders are nice .

The game crashes a lot. Have to save after every interaction. Then reload when it crashes. And other bugs like the MC always facing right and not being able to enter doors. This makes the game unplayable.

One of the best games I've ever played I believe most developers should play this game. Want to know why? Because most developers have forgotten that the focus shouldn't be on sexual content. Instead, they should focus on gradually building…
