Hi Pixieblink! After trying to keep away for a few updates I'm back for another round. I sort of understand the criticism about the lack of lewd content, and saw your decision to implement the "going to hell" series alongside it. I'm pretty split on the decision though, while you usually have a good schedule for your releases, and apparently 1 for the mini-series as well, I usually dislike anything that consumes the dev's time that could have gone into better and faster releases of the main game.(Usually split paths and multiple endings) But the potential of the 'paths of future pasts' are honestly too good to pass up. So much possibility for debauchery and make it non-canon.
Though I honestly don't think you can do much at this point about how the story have gone. Let me put it this way, as a VN, it's an obvious 11/10, the way you've built the world has been astounding and an true eye opener. But as an AVN, it's probably a 4/10. The initial premises had alot of promise. A hotblooded young man being thrust into a position of religious power, with lots of young, impressionable nuns at his beck and call, a 'milfy' childhood friend that you aged slower than, a ring that recharges on admiration/adoration with the ability to cast lewd spells. It was a pretty clever setup.
But the way it has progressed, all of a sudden it feels like the weight of the world is on the party's shoulders, and there's an invisible countdown timer to doomsday. Like you mentioned in one of the posts here, there's very little room to maneuver to insert lewd scenes without cheapening the story, and I respect that. It has been a riveting experience so far, keeping the audience at the edge of their seats every chapter with twists and turns. It's that kind of series that would keep me waiting every week for another episode. But perhaps if the story was slowed down from the start, maybe to sent the characters on a series of quests, or character building arcs, instead of it feeling like the last training sequence before the final battle. That would have given the characters more leeway to explore "other" stuff.
Either way, whatever you decide to do, I'm already hooked, strapped in for the ride and looking forward to it! Keep up the amazing work!
