I don't want to sound like a "hater", I really see potential in this VN, but I think it's drowning in its own plot design errors, i will choose as a positive example chapter 2 of this VN, simplified and focused on the MC and the girls, everything began to fall apart with the plot of the drug traffickers, a mess, from the third chapter, the protagonist is more anonymous, he interacts less and less, his decisions are ephemeral, please a little more coherence, I'm just saying that.

To me, it simply sounds that the game is just different than what you wanted. What you want is a more straight forward MC and girls, probably building relationship and so on where the story revolves around them. There's nothing wrong with wanting a game about "MC's life in AOA" where the focus is MC's life.

But IMO the dev wants to make a different game. A game where the story exists even without MC, and the MC got sucked into it. So the focus is more of what's happening in AOA (Adam vs Jenny) and how it affects MC (and the girls). That doesn't mean it's bad, it's just a different type of game. A good comparison to AOA is the Netflix spanish show Elite where the show focuses on what happened at the school and how it affected the characters.

So, I just finished my 3 main playtroughs, and have a question: I believe I had a scene with every single character...except Jenny, you know, literally one of the big 2, and Jade. Are there really no scenes with the 2 of them?

Is the end of the game sad like this or will it come out of what it is now?? My heart is broken and I want to know if there are endings that, at least, are not sad.

Podría alguien decirme cómo obtener la ruta del Jade, he intentado hacerlo muchas veces, pero no puedo desbloquear su fondo de pantalla.

Am I the only one who noticed that that Rebecca, Valerie and Jade say absolutely nothing about the bruises on MC's face? Whether you're in a relationship with them or not, they absolutely ignore it, it's a little weird, I suppose dev just absolutely forgot to add their reaction to this

This VN have too many unnecessary subplots, many characters, many scenes where the MC is not involved, the script is a disaster, and I think that's where the problem lies, I don't think there is a script as such, i think the author comes up with something at the moment and inserts it into the "story".

Be honest, do any of you know where the story is going, what are the motivations of the MC, what does he paint in it?, i like the visual section, the females design, the ambientation, It irritates me to see so much visual potential accompanied by such a poor narrative, for example, if you are interested in Jenny and Valerie, from the end of chapter 2, you don't interact with them in a relevant way, what is the point of having so many "options", if you are not going anywhere with them.

I don't want to sound like a "hater", I really see potential in this VN, but I think it's drowning in its own plot design errors, i will choose as a positive example chapter 2 of this VN, simplified and focused on the MC and the girls, everything began to fall apart with the plot of the drug traffickers, a mess, from the third chapter, the protagonist is more anonymous, he interacts less and less, his decisions are ephemeral, please a little more coherence, I'm just saying that.

It's simple and I think I speak for a significant portion of people, when you play this VN you want to be with the girls, know their problems, help them, be that kind of fantasy knight, and be in the middle of a coherent plot that integrates you in the organic way, example, that the main story is based on Jenny, the university and what happened to her in her childhood.

In short, you have to include the MC, you have to give prominence to your protagonist, relevance, importance, personality, the story has to have a goal, the MC has to have a goal that goes hand in hand with the story, I am in favor of the dramas, the "slow burn", etc, but it must have coherence, so that it works for me personally, and here things are more and more diffuse and cumbersome.

I'm going to take an example that everyone hates, "Being a DIK", let's be honest, the story of that VN is not the best in the world, it is quite basic and sometimes very cringy, but it has rhythm, coherence, meaning and a clear objective, the MC has options, decisions, and gives the illusion that you're going to get somewhere.

Agree with your post. Good to know I am not the only one that is confused by this VN. It's a shame it has a lot of potential.

Look at this point the MC must turn into Agent47 to solve all the problems. I mean everyone and their mother are beating or pussywhiping the shit out of him.

I started playing on the first release. And look, the prologue has changed a few times, and what I've noticed is that the game has become boring. I couldn't wait to finish the update. It makes me think that this game has no future, so I thought, what did I not like about the game? I'll try to say to see if anyone else has the same thought as mine.
1st Antagonist and protagonist, You have one for the other, Here we have the antagonist of every story serving as the villain of every story. This is wrong for me, or it's supposed to be with the sister, or with Mc. To be honest here, it was better not to have this brother in the game Or I'm totally wrong the protagonist was supposed to be Adam.

2nd I saw potential in the game, the beautiful images, the affection with how it was made, but the story of the game was so crazy, the script tried to delve a little deeper into the girls' history and mixed Jeny's drama with drug dealers, with rape from valery. Dude was weird to say the least.
3rd What a feeling of impotence in this game, it seems that the guy you're supposed to play can't do anything, that kidnapping talk is ridiculous, I've never seen a thief being nice, the guy doesn't even know him, not to mention that with this end of this beta let's go have the option to kill or be killed. Good thing the guy left his town to become a murderer. This was supposed to be an adult game, right? The focus should be on that, right?

Without further ado, it seems to me that the author is lost and doesn't know what to do, because he just puts more and more things in the game with each update, how long is this ball going to happen? I already stopped supporting the project but I don't want to influence anyone to do that. `Just a rant from those who have been following since the beginning.
