Dagoth Ur is that you? Is anyone else reading that post in Dagoth Ur's voice?
I at least want Aya to somehow be treated differently. She went from very smart about people, to extreme empath. It needs to be better than magic rape dick strikes again. The hint we get is Aya says she will hate Harry if he keeps trying to have it both ways. Which he thinks about trying, but he's too late to stop that update ending scene.
I never really liked Laura, nothing about her is above mid tier. Anything she had going for her is destroyed by Luca very early on, due in part to her own ego. By the time we get to the v8.3 sex scene, I'm in complete revulsion. If not for Aya moaning in the background I don't think it would've qualified as porn to me. Before, mostly, she was activity crushing Harry, for a better thicker sex haze. The tiny flake of gold in the emulsified diarrhea that is Laura is, at least in the beginning, to a degree, she did this to save Harry. Now she is crushing Harry, anyone he loves, including herself, anyway she can, with little care or even passive concern for who she is destroying, just so she can control Harry, while pretending to be his Lover. Truly a vile character. There is only one thing she can/does do that can 'slightly' redeem herself, kill Luca. At least making her worth a single sigh of disappointment. That's part of the fun though.
But at least something besides Luca plugs Laura the song 10 hour edition, on repeat happened.
That is similar to the clumsy hero ending. Everything is damaged probably beyond repair, but at least Luca gets his. I liked it. It's a grand and intoxicating ending, most fitting for what Laura set out to do. Aya should have a ending on that level. It'd be waste of a great character if not.
