It's been a while since I last commented on this thread. It always surprises me how it gains hundreds of additional pages each time, despite there being zero new content. Some people clearly have way too much time on their hands.
Anyway, the previous update five months ago was quite disappointing. Anna acted completely out of character, giving Chris a blowjob in her garage like some cheap street hooker — despite not even doing that for her husband. Even considering the circumstances, where she suspects her husband of cheating, this behavior felt extremely unlikely.
This latest update, while disappointing for those who dislike content involving older men, was actually better in my opinion. Not because of the Marvin scenes — those are still unrealistic to me. And no, just because she was used to being stared at by men and grew up with brothers doesn't mean a woman would react so calmly when a creepy old man shows up uninvited in the lactation room at work.
It’s also ridiculous that a 2-meter-tall guy backs down to old, fragile Marvin. That’s just not something that would happen in real life — unless maybe the tall guy was on probation and didn’t want to risk getting into a fight and ending up back in jail. That’s the only remotely realistic explanation I can think of at the moment.
(Marvin's path is by far the least realistic to me, even if Anna supposedly has a thing for older men.)
But let’s not forget that this is a porn visual novel — if it were truly realistic, most of the content wouldn’t happen in the first place.
Although the Hank storyline is actually developing in a solid way. Sure, it's progressing slowly, but it's doing so in a more believable and grounded manner compared to all the other routes in the game. I'm genuinely curious to see where the Hank route goes.
Jake's storyline, on the other hand, is incredibly boring. Others have pointed this out already: he's the typical "pretty boy" archetype — cocky, self-assured, and well-endowed. It's completely predictable that Anna will give in to his advances in a moment of weakness. That makes it uninteresting.
Adding to that, while many people find Anna physically very attractive, they don't find her particularly likable. That's why so many want to see her humiliated — there's a strong humiliation kink driving much of the interest. In that context, Jake almost feels like a reward for her, especially compared to the other sleazy men trying to get into her pants. That makes his route feel dull.
One surprising detail was the appearance of Anna’s mother, who looks almost nothing like her. Obviously Anna isn’t a natural blonde, but a fake one by dyeing her hair— both of her parents have dark hair, making it extremely unlikely that she’d be blonde herself. Even if one grandparent had blond(e) hair, it's a recessive trait, so the chances are very slim.
In summary, five months feels like an awfully long time for what supporters got in return. The whole update is a mixed bag, but still better than the previous one — mainly because of the Hank route.
