I haven't done everything with Gwen yet, but what are you referring to when you say "femdom content" regarding her? She has one cowgirl scene and one missionary scene (like you later ask for). She also has the threesome with you, her, and Sabrina that does not have a missionary position but wouldn't qualify as "femdom" though.
In addition, there are alternatives to having sex with her: Either convince Sabrina to drink the potion and become futa (she'll then have sex with Gwen for you) or finish the Athia story-line by choosing to ally with Gwen - Once that storyline is done, Gwen will absorb your energy when you're away and her corruption is very low.
Also, I don't understand the hatred Gwen gets. She's not the most beautiful girl in the game but she's far from ugly. She's also the catalyst for everything that happens to the MC and the reason why he even gets to sleep with other beautiful women.
Show some appreciation!
Dude, have you even done the Rumah quest-line? Like at all? Rumah "rewards you with nothing" after you've done it? What the bloody hell are you on about? All the girls in Rumah can potentially fall in love with MC and have sex with him.
In addition, by becoming the Chieftain of Rumah, you get to pocket the food, fur, wood, and copper ore that they collect. Then on top of that, Rumah can lead to you to going up against and conquering the main orc settlement: Madrag Kaz. Through Rumah, you also get access to Umah, the orc Chieftain's daughter.
Seems to me that there's a lot of rewards available by finishing the Rumah questline.
Sounds like a skill issue, buddy. I've never had any of the issues in combat that you're talking about.
If you're "missing all the time," then one of three things is going on: 1) You're facing enemies that outlevel you; 2) You haven't invested enough talent points into dexterity - although I never really faced this "missing all the time" issue even with low dexterity; and/or 3) You're fighting enemies while tired/exhausted (Do you have enough talent points invested in Constitution? Do you allow the MC to get enough sleep?) or hungry.
I have no idea what "enemy sponges" means but if you're trying to say that your hits are barely registering against your enemies to the point where it seems that they're just absorbing your attacks, then you need to do two things: 1) Level up and 2) Invest more talent points in strength.
Regarding leveling up, you can do so early in the game by (a) fighting normal basic orcs; (b) completing daily quests such as helping Claire in the tavern and briging wood and meat to Emily; and (c) hunting in the hunting grounds.
All of the above also applies to your "weak attacks" complaint. Once the MC has 10 points invested into the stregnth talent, his attacks aren't so "weak" anymore, even with low-level weapons.
Which leads me to another thing, are you improving the MC's weapons and armor. At level 10, you can have the MC equip Marcus' bow, which is notably better than the MC's original hunting bow.
Also, did you talk to John and have him sharpen Marcus's dagger which increases its attack power?
Then, remember the "Rumah plot which rewards you with nothing," as you so
eloquently put it? Well, you can trade 10 Elderwood logs (which isn't too hard to get if you've been investing talent points into strength and cutting down Elderwood trees you find) for the Reinforced bow which is 5x more powerful than the orginal hunting bow and once you've neutralized the Orc threat to Rumah, he'll give you the Elderwood Bow which is 12x more powerful than the original hunting bow.
I dunno, guy. Rumah's sounding pretty rewarding to me.
Also, did you do the April Easter event where you collect Mysterious Eggs and offer them to the statue in East Darkwood? By completing it, you get access to faeries Armor and Faeries Bow which are incredibly useful during the early game.
It could do with some improvement but it isn't garbage. The morale doesn't randomly decrease but instead decreases in response to certain choices/events such as (1) the MC not paying the mercenaries on time, (2) Having the mercenaries train to improve their skills, and (3) Mercenaries dying - although I'm not entirely sure about this last one.
Also, if you want the parties to improve morale more significantly, the official walk-through explains what has to be done - Get the girls like Tia and Lyvia to flash more skin during the parties and even have the mercenaries participate more sexually during those parties.
I'll give you this one.
There really aren't that many time limits or time requirements in the game. The only things I can think of are:
1) The 14 days you have to finish Mira's love quest before she start's the Church ritual - which isn't a big deal if you miss;
2) The couple of days you have to train Mira with anal plug before Aidalin arrives - which also isn't a big deal if you miss;
3) Rescuing Emily from the bandits which isn't too terrible if you can't do it in time;
4) Helping convert Emily's home to a orphange before the 30 day tax break is over which isn't too difficult to do in time;
5) Corrupting Penny during the 14 days that Henry is in a coma, which isn't a big deal if you miss; and
6) Helping Penny rebuild her farm before the 30 day tax break is over which also isn't too difficult to do in time!
So yeah, I don't know what you're referring to when you say the game has "strict time limits" and I'd like you to provide any example of this that you can.
Which "girl routes" are you referring to here? Besides Penny's farm and Lyvia's Mercenary group, I can't think of any girl whose route results in major ongoing expenses. And even with those two examples: 1) Penny's farm can turn a profit if the MC is actively involved and 2) Maintaining Lyvia's mercenary army is way less expensive than the 10 gold you'd have to pay per month to own your home.
Plus, both the farm and the mercenary army will open up new opportunities for the MC down the line.
Also, this game is about the MC obtaining power and courting women: I hate to break it to you brother, but both of these things require some up front costs. Especially courting women, which any guy whose been on multiple dates can confirm.
I don't remember; maybe there's a scene or scenes that you have to go through to progress the plot, but you aren't regularly forced to do anal with Emily and Arianna. In fact, aside from the obligatory first times to progress the story (like BDSM with Verena), fetishes usually aren't forced upon the player.

So yeah, your post has a lot of (from my perspective) misinformation and nonsense. There are good critiques that can be made about
A Struggle with Sin but your post really isn't that for the most part.
Just thought I'd give my 2 cents as a guy who's been playing for a while and respects what
Chyos has accomplished here.
