If you could play as Luca and only in Luca's perspective keep cheating a secret, would you still play as Harry??
From what I understand NTR is about having a victim, a hostage, right? Would you hold to hostage perspective?
Not too time-consuming. I played and enjoyed the game. I laughed, felt sympathy, and experienced many emotions.
HangoverCat is a genius writer. He has done better work than this game, but that's just my opinion.
Its something that I don't understand from some of the people on this board rooting for Luca. First of all, Laura and Harry were both very happy together before Luca blackmailed and raped Laura. I get that she had tons of issues deep down but we as the spectators got to see everything Luca did to manipulate her. He planted doubts in her mind while convincing her that he knew the answer. Thats pretty much how brainwashing work. Convincing the person that she was horribly unhappy and that things needed to change.
"Well, Laura is the villain, not Luca. In the route I was playing, Luca didn't use force on Laura. Instead, he employed dark psychological tricks? Yes. He used Machiavellian methods to achieve his goals? Absolutely. However, it was Laura who didn't trust Harry; she tried to play his game.
She didn't seek help from the police or a private investigator. She accepted, little by little, his rules (and it didn't take long to crush her morals, just a month if I remember correctly). She threw her career away, all for ephemeral pleasure. My question is, who is the true evil? Is it he who is unapologetically who he is, or is it the one who claims to have all the good intentions but betrays you in the worst way possible? A dragon that eats flesh and burn cities OR a snake that it bites you and kill you slowly slowly
don't think anyone here disagrees that Luca deserves to go die in a fire. Especially if he was somehow a real person. However, he's not a real person. He's a bunch of words and .pngs. He's not real, so people feel fine rooting for him much like it's fine to root for the villain in any other form of media. Yes, objectively speaking, he's an absolute monster... but so are a lot of other villains and that doesn't stop people from liking them.
I agree that all of these are fictional characters, and we shouldn't confuse fiction with reality. I disagree with the idea that he should be condemned to burn. Is he evil? Yes. Has he done illegal things and should face a trial? Yes. That's all.
"I understand that people can feel attached to these characters (cheating can happen to anyone), but there are more unethical and dangerous people in power. People are evicted from their homes because they need surgery, or else they will die. People die in wars for the sake of oil resources and the wealth of others. People cheer and worship drug users, egocentrics, traffickers, abusers, and anyone seeking money and fame. The real question is: do we hold onto our morals, standards, and high values of ethics when it comes to others, or only when these situations happen to us.
