55% of the votes are yes for a good ending. The option is literally "Yes, she deserves a good ending."There is a poll going on right now on HC's patreon called "Meaningful Poll: Should Aya's route have a good ending?" and i wonder what the options are and which one is winning.
Yeah,that was so low effort that it felt like it was just added to give an additional ending.My assessment of HC so far is that he really hates writing good endings and hates giving MC any agency like he is allergic to it.This time around,i feel like he might just ignore the polls even if yes for good ending gets more votes.Is there any info on how long the Aya's route is planned to be?I am wondering if it's going to be a short one or will be as long as Laura's route.55% of the votes are yes for a good ending.

That said, based on the post, H-Self doesn't really WANT to write a good ending... much like they didn't want to write a good ending for the original APBLU. It genuinely shows in the writing that he didn't want to write that ending, so I'm personally voting for no because I'm not into forcing people to write things that they don't really feel.
That said... Each tier has different voting power. So it's not just a matter of the most votes for an option, but also for the most votes from the higher tiers.
So keep that in mind. H-Self has access to that info, but the patrons do not.
He added it in because much like this time, he put up a poll for it, and a bunch of people voted for it.Yeah,that was so low effort that it felt like it was just added to give an additional ending.My assessment of HC so far is that he really hates writing good endings and hates giving MC any agency like he is allergic to it.This time around,i feel like he might just ignore the polls even if yes for good ending gets more votes.Is there any info on how long the Aya's route is planned to be?I am wondering if it's going to be a short one or will be as long as Laura's route.
I want to know if this poll is referring to whether the ending of Aya's route is a good ending or if it is about whether there should be a good ending added among the multiple endings in Aya's route. Because if Aya's route is as long as or even longer than Laura's route, it is highly unlikely to have just one ending.He added it in because much like this time, he put up a poll for it, and a bunch of people voted for it.
He doesn't like writing good endings in NTR content, not in general. Based on his overall posts, he genuinely likes content where the hero overcomes adversity and comes out on top and so on... but he feels that this sort of story-line is incompatible with NTR. He also doesn't believe that the contrast others people see actually adds anything to a NTR VN and the core target audiences for NTR. Hell, it's why the Aya endings, which are overall fairly positive for Harry, even if not for Laura, exist. Because Aya took life in his head and beat his writing muse until she came out on top every time.
At least, that's what I got from the long posts he has over there on the subject. Personally, I don't care either way. I'm here for smut and moral degeneration, the NTR part isn't particularly relevant either way.
Also, Aya's Route will be about as long, if not a little longer than Laura's, based on HC's assessment so far. They don't know for sure, but there's definitely a need for buildup, both for Harry and Aya to grow genuinely closer and for Luca to have the time to actually fuck things up. There's going to be a lot less choices, possibly none at all if there's only going to be the one bad ending.
Here's the whole post from Patreon. Make of it what you will, but from what I'm reading, there really WILL be just one ending, or two if the Good Ending thing wins.I want to know if this poll is referring to whether the ending of Aya's route is a good ending or if it is about whether there should be a good ending added among the multiple endings in Aya's route.

Meaningful Poll: Should Aya's route have a good ending?
EDIT: Just so we're clear, it's either no good ending (no), or one good and one bad ending (yes).
Now that everyone had the chance to play the first update for Aya's route, I guess I should give her the same chance that I gave Laura at the beginning of hers. There might still be a few people here who were there at the time, but just to put it in context, at the beginning of A Promise Best Left Unkept, I ran a poll to see if people were interested in a good ending. The good ending did win at the time, though there were a lot fewer people supporting me then than there are now.
I'll reiterate what I said at the time; I personally don't see NTR as being compatible with good endings in general. My perspective has not changed since. Of course, that's just my opinion, and I might find out down the line that I'm wrong. I mean, there are a lot of creators who are much more creative than I am, and there may be a way to make a good ending elevates the NTR, but for now, I don't see it. If I'm ever to play around with good endings to accentuate the NTR, it will probably be in a smaller project.
I won't lie, at the moment, I'm planning Aya's route as a straight line. I'm not bothering with branching the stories in multiple paths like I did with Laura's route. I've still made sure that there were ways in which I could branch it out if I ever want to, or if people really desire more of APBLU. I just feel like there's a diminishing return with people's interest in the story, and we might very well be past it already. Still, adding a choice that branches the story between a good and a bad ending should be relatively easy to implement… I think.
I just want to make sure, also, that people understand what I mean by 'good ending'. There's no way that I'm adding an ending where there's no NTR. There will be NTR no matter what. The question is just whether she gets fully corrupted or not. I think the Clumsy ending is a good example of that.
So yeah, I hope you enjoyed V0.1.0 of her route. There were fewer people who supported me this month… but for now, I won't worry too much.
I meant everything we have here - since he asked in this thread I assumed he doesn't have access to the patreon.It is, but Aya's route is basically its own game, not a direct update to this one, so his answer to the question is correct.
Well of course. It's her arc.And I think she is the most depraved of them all.

Waitaminute. Isn't this just the plot the The Girlfriend Tapes?Yeah, Aya/Harry's characters are in a bit of a hole if we want the same type of NTR to work. One viable route HC could take is voluntary NTR on the part of Aya/Harry (or Netorase).
Aya has a strong personality, but both Laura and Harry have very weak personalities. This is what Luca would exploit. (Also clarification before my example, haven't played .1 of new Aya update, and been awhile since I've started just gallery skimming Laura updates.)
Rough example scenario:
(Aya/Harry are now together, and Harry broke up w/ Laura. Luca takes initiative to 'repair' relationship with Harry, while trying to look for weaknesses.)
- Harry starts receiving various explicit videos. Starts w/ regular porn, then over time shifts into bull/cuck porn.
- Luca mentions receiving the same videos in the office, tries to convince him to keep watching. At the same time, Luca tells Aya that Harry may have 'fetishes' that he won't reveal to her.
- If Harry continues watching Aya catches him, plants a seed of doubt.
- She talks about it with Luca, and Luca tells her they can continue testing him. Maybe give him a gift to show that she doesn't mind. Aya shuts him down, saying she won't do anything with him. Luca backpedals, saying they can use a substitute, ease him into it, and suggests using Laura.
- Luca seduces Laura, and records videos for Harry using her, but w/ Aya involved (maybe over the phone at the start, then in person later.) Aya sees that Harry is watching/jacking off to the videos, so she continues.
- Dress up Laura as Aya, do more explicit 'pretend NTR video'.
- They take a break. Maybe choice here could be Harry stops cold turkey, or picks back up jerking off to NTR vids.
- Aya catches him again. Convinced that this is what he wants, SHE decides to work w/ Luca again to record gift for their anniversary (or some other holiday).
- Balls in Luca's court now and he wants to escalate between him and her, leaving Laura out of it.
- Eventually continue into real sexual contact between Luca/Aya based on how Harry messes up/any exploits Luca finds over time.
- As Harry continues watching videos, starts getting suspicious. (Whether he acts on his suspicions could lead to different endings.)
Obviously, this scenario wouldn't be perfect and I'm probably forgetting some plot details that would leave gaping plot holes, but I do think following the same path where Aya is treated as weak as Laura will lead to some very unsatisfying paths.
I mostly just made a quick template for a Netorase experience based on what I remember of this game's story, so it may be similar. I've honestly been on a bit of a netorase binge recently which is why I thought about the opportunity here for it with Aya's strong personality.Waitaminute.

Well, 'good' or 'bad' is a stretchy subject.mean while
