In ASWS, love route is more about how MC treats the LI, rather than how the LI looks at him. Not caring and turning them into luts vs caring and trying to gain their affection. Love is subjective after all.
Maybe ilsc69 is playing as a Paladin that invested too many stats in love and now he has too much love to give. And the LIs just don't understand.
If you go to the cell and Imawyn asks for your dick, if you give it to her, she gains corruption, if you give her wine, she gains affection.
How is getting her drunk the MC him caring more about her, and trying to gain her affection?
How is the MC giving Frisha a piece of jewelry some altruistic act, that he does soley because he cares about her? You only fucking do that to manipulate the point of affection.
You are telling me that you the player care so much about Frisha as a person that you just care for just to help her grow as a person?
If you know the game, then every single act of affection receiving is a manipulative act towards the player unlocking "love route" cg's.
In my mind there is not an evil component to corruption and a good component to affection.
In real life I have seen material gifts given with evil intent, and head given with love intent.
I mean if you cheat all the way and don't care about the journey, maybe. I don't play NSFW games just for the NSFW part. I can simply rip the CG out if that was the case. Right now, my MC is a full on incubus that doesn't give a fuck about the morality of his actions just to get women. Playing through the game with a different more moral approach is just another way to experience the game. Same way I would do a playthrough where MC just wants to corrupt as many people as possible just because he is evil.
There are different ways to struggle with sin after all.
The grind I mentioned comes from not cheating. With cheating, beating Gurtak in battle would be easy. I was referring to the grind of leveling up to beating him without cheating or witchcraft.
I do play NSFW only for the NSFW part. Telling me that I am playing them wrong is you being wrong.
I am telling you why the way you insist I play is flat wrong and delusional.
You can play whatever way you want to.
I don't know which LI you are referring to, but in general, you are right, I draw little distinction between the two for any LI.
If you stop attacking the fact that I don't see a distinction, I won't have to continue defending the reasons that there isn't one.
