VN Ren'Py A Man for All [Ep.17] [Venus Waltz]

[xapican]

Depressing episode start and finish

MC had better have been wearing a wire during this episode cause he got that pack of pricks full on monologuing and their arrogance is so absolute they didn't frisk him. I pray he's not been written dumber than he should be just to get a shock value scene.

Interesting, take I haven't thought of it would explain the black frames only with dialoge, they are listening to an audio

Or the detective - and maybe other cops - are closeby.

Whoever is moving on with this novel I hope you're right. I just didn't like the fact that they ended on this cliffhanger
And the fact that they didn't show her where the rest of the girls at the end made me feel she was gone
And as I've said before in many of my posts she was my favourite. I'll miss her and the relationship she had with slick
To me she was the most down to earth of all the women he was with

It took me days to shake the feeling of her being gone. I knew someone very much like her who passed on
Maybe that's why I got attached and decided I wasn't going to continue the novel
If she does live on somebody will have to DM me to let me know she made it
Cuz I said I won't be finishing it deleted my save and I'm fine with the decision now

I can understand how you feel. Honestly I'm not sure how I feel normally I don't think about these cliffhangers this long. I will let you know if everything is good with her. On the cliffhanger thing I take it you're not playing Eternum

Generally speaking, I'm okay with cliffhangers... I mean, I'm impatient like almost everyone else, and I have mixed feelings about the suspense, but under the right circumstances, I think a cliffhanger can be part of good storytelling. On the other hand, I've never been a fan of "did they/didn't they survive" cliffhangers, especially when they involve key characters.

Storytellers obviously can kill off key characters, which will generally not be popular, but if a storyteller chooses to do it, in my opinion it should be straightforward and clear what just happened, and ideally there should be a way for the reader to process it in-story. I know this is a hot take, but I think it can be a good choice, or at least a justifiable one, if (and this is a big "if") it is a story element that serves to move the plot forward and ultimately leads to a good resolution of the overall story. Honestly, it's really hard to do well and successfully, so storytellers should also take that in mind.
