I just wanna put a bun in Rae's oven is that too much to hope for everyone else can have the other girls just leave me Rae and I'm good for the rest of the game.
Hey guys.
I got a problem with Caith and her quest... Talked and done about everything possible during her breakfasts but this damn quest doesn't get a status update. Does someone know what the issue is with this thing?

Is there still a plot hole per se with Lyriel having sex in the MC's bedroom, but still not letting him go all the way in the kitchen? This game will just go on the backburner for another 6 months to a year and maybe there will be more "fun" times in different parts of the house with the other women.
What's this about Lyriel lamenting her existence?
She's by far my favorite and the best girl in the game so this is sounding worrisome.

No reason to worry, it's just a magical makeup palette that causes the user to go through some things. Lyriel comes out of the event with no lasting damage.

Of all the games that make anti-NTR people paranoid, this wouldn't have been on my list. Although in hindsight the LI's having lives before MC and their own motivations. Maybe I should've saw it coming.
The characters in this game having a backstory is very important for their current story. A large part of the game is having dreams that go back into their old lives to try to figure things out. Without that, the story would fall apart. So you can't get rid of it or censor it to protect overly sensitive players.
People let their paranoia ruin games for them far too often. Rae was/is a succubus who has been with a lot of people, because that's what a succubus does. And now she is falling in love with MC. How wholesome.

Characters in media should act... plausibly. So characters should act.. like people do in real life. To do otherwise, risks breaking suspension of disbelief.
So, I strongly disagree with your basic premise.
If someone is involved with a person with a heavily promiscuous past and is comfortable with that relationship, understanding the relationships the SO has with others immediately present is probably important for them to know.
Should the dev include a bunch of former lovers just because they're former lovers? Probably not. But, if a past relationship either makes sense in the situation or is pivotal for the circumstance, it shouldn't be avoided.
*edit* The posts I was replying to have vanished so this post makes little sense in isolation. Honest, this time I wasn't just yelling into the wind!

While I agree with you, i think even acting implausible for real life is fine if it is consistent with the style of the game, of what the games wants to be (this is subjective though but most time it is clear).
Take WMV or however it is. I strongly dislike that game. But whay I played was consistent with the premise: MC is a gift for women that shall be treasured by all of them.
Radiant, on the other, hand started as a potential drama story and soon developed into the most cliche daddy fucks all. Because the game tried, in my opinion, to be serious in the beginning everything they did after chapter 1 was a joke.
That is not to say you cannot on purpose change genres or make characters react unexpectedly. Acting Lessons is an excellent example of shift of game done right.
What i mean is an implicit intent of what the game is.
Problem lies in that many readers believe the game should be exactly what they want, even if it makes little sense to everyone else.
Rae in house in the rift makes sense. You may dislike she has a past, but it is clearly consistent with she being a succubus as other pointed out. Anyone that believes otherwise is simply not reading or trying to push their desires into the game.

Certainly genre can and does affect what is plausible. Genre conventions form a sort-of contract between the authors and the audience to modify expectation. Action-adventure? They're only flesh wounds, no reason to seek medical help! Romance? Of course they'll get together at the end all sins forgiven.
So in AHitR's case, of course all the women find the MC attractive. It's genre. Of course, the MC will grow into his power and turn out to be pivotal in <whatever the dramatic conflict becomes>. It's genre. Of course, the MC will have a happyish ending. It's genre.

Or they can pool another Acting Lessons on us. I would even welcome that.
But Rae having a past makes sense. So much sense.

I'm not a huge fan of subverting expectation. It works sometimes. Most of the time, I feel cheated. I signed up to experience X. The authors just wasted my time investment by providing Y after advertising X. Let me note those names so I don't give them another chance to waste my resources again.
Rae having a past doesn't just make sense; it was advertised in the first few interactions with her. If we are dealing with a personal mission of hers, we should expect to meet those who shared her past while on that mission.
On another note, it's why I feel the MC not caring about his place in his world and the consequences of the accident that led to the house is so dissonant. The author chose to create an MC who is not a loner orphan misanthrope. In itself that is refreshing. But the reason so many loner orphan misanthropes as MCs exist is because having ties to the world creates distraction away from the immediate situation. A MC with ties to family, job, and friends should seek to reassure himself that they are safe and seek to reassure them that he is safe. This is effectively parallel to both Cait's and Naomi's personal stories -- for the same reason.
