“Forced content“ I think it's depend on the players point of view. All of thes above are corruption focused and that's what they will have. Well, some of them are less focused so they are either 60/40 with the corruption as favorite but a game like A wife at stake it is Purley corruption with all the paths leading to only one outcome the “corruption of FMC“ which gave a kinetic vibe and choices illusion but in fact it's not
Ok. To me, forced content is when the story forces you to do something where you might have wanted a choice but were not offered one (ex. MC has sex with someone). At its extreme, when the player has been permitted to make choices and all of those choices have led in a particular trend but the story requires the MC suddenly to act in a way counter to all prior related choices... ...this is what I consider to be forced content.
If every choice the player makes is "do not have sex with that specific man" but the story suddenly forces the MC to have consensual sex with that man (no choice) then, yes, I consider that to be an example of forced content.
As I always have said, if the developer knows that the story must proceed along a specific plotline, that's fine; make the story kinetic and do not offer any choices. I'm fine with that. But when the story offers choices and the player chooses... ...but the story acts against the player choices, that is when I become frustrated as a player. If my choice does not matter then do not offer me one.
Some developers handle this better than others. I've seen stories where descriptions contain the disclaimer: this story contains content (NTR, gay, etc.) that is unavoidable. When the developer provides this, I understand that my choices won't matter here. If I want to watch the movie, I will, but I won't complain later about the forced content; I understood from the beginning this would be the case.
If the developer knows they want a specific outcome, okay; do not tease the player in the description, tags, or notes by saying "you will decide" or "can the player prevent", etc. Some may enjoy being misled that way; I, as a player, do not. If the MC will become a whore no matter what, that's fine; tell me that in the description and I'll move along to try something else.
