When I read such statements, I feel sad.

The fact is that I also have similar feelings. But I understand that out of a huge number of users, there will be those for whom this content does not seem superfluous and not interesting.
In terms of dialogue it isn't bad, I get what L&P is trying to do.

The inner monologue though, is too much.

It's fiction, of course, but most of the people here wouldn't play a game starring a serial rapist.
So if I have a stomachache with blackmail then just because I can't ignore how the woman would feel.
That's one reason. The other reason is that as the blackmail stories are written in most games,
they run again in a parallel universe to the virtual game world. They remain without consequences for
the blackmailer and the blackmailed (provided it concerns their previous social status).
Because that's exactly what we as players don't want to deal with the consequences of blackmail.
We want the side door.
Most blackmail stories amount to a breach of will. This is simply reinterpreted here as "she enjoys it".
It just messes up the story for me when the developer makes it so easy for himself. Even in a fictional story,
an emotional logic must follow. And that doesn't mean I put Sophia in underwear in front of the school class
and then call it erotic.
No, most people wouldn't play a game with a serial rapist, anymore than we would revel in a game where the protagonist is a torturer or a killer. Such niche fictions exist, however, so it becomes a case of where do you draw the line? AWAM has gained popularity because of a focus on breaking taboos such as incest. I don't pretend to have the moral high ground with my personal detestation of this facet of the game (which is one of the main plotlines, after all) & my post was in reaction to a welter of contributions which seemed to suggest that any form of coercion, such as blackmail, was reprehensible to the point of being unacceptable, even if conducted in the realms of fantasy. A taboo too far, so to speak.

Put directly, if I don't spend my time denigrating incest at every opportunity & just accept it as someone else's kink, I can't then appreciate 'holier than thou' tirades from fans who don't like blackmail & choose to declare this fact in fairly strident terms. There has to be a toleration of each others' preferences, along with some modicum of understanding that we all have different tastes.

I appreciate that it's easy to become invested in fictional characters & I sometimes find myself hoping for a happy ending to AWAM but I still enjoy the blackmail. I am one of those who'll never reinterpret anything along the lines of, "she enjoys it." This is a lazy, unrealistic formula which plagues much of erotic fiction, (as well as RL but with hideous consequences). When Sophia becomes a happy participant or takes the initative in Aiden's schemes, it will cease being blackmail & as I've said elsewhere, it will be another routine sex game with consensual participants. If & when this happens, it signifies, for me, the end of the fun.

There was more to be gained, as I saw it, from maintaining the Bennett storyline, if he'd found some better leverage for his blackmail. I prefer Sophia dealing with other adults. Bennett illustrates the appeal of blackmail when he has Sophia take off her panties in the restaurant. If he'd asked her to do this & she'd readily agreed, this would not have been erotic. It was the element of being compelled to do something against her nature that made this such a memorable scene. This was real progress. Sophia standing in front of the class in her underwear, although a delightful sight no doubt, would not be erotic. There has to be a subtler approach that I feel doesn't chime with Aiden.

I don't wish to see any long-term damage to Sophia. I don't even want her marriage to break down, not really but I also don't want to wrap her in cotton wool. Blackmail provides the edge this game needs. It's a question of how long will it do this. Again, put directly, incest fans are well catered for & I'm not complaining. Where I will complain is when the blackmail descends into a sex romp farce.

So, after a lon Pause I will be here more often. And for now I will start with this

My Storylines favourites in AWAM:

1. Sam
2. Ellie
3. Alyssa
4. Patricia
5. Morello
6. Maid(?) if it is one.
7. Aiden
8. Side Job
9. Vicky
10. Dylan boarding school ;)
I don't think we can even consider the Maid (Natalie), or the side jobs, as stories that can be ranked at this point. These stories, especially Natalie's, are so preliminary that they barely take up any time in-game. They may develop into something substantial, but for now they seem like barely formed kernels of a story.

Anyone who has been in long-term relationships (marriage or dating) knows that they take work. Breakdowns in the relationship are rarely the fault of just one person. It is very easy to get into a routine when you're in a long-term relationship, and it can be hard to see if it's not working. That's when you need strong lines of communication so that you can tell your partner what you need. While we all like to pretend that we always give every sexual encounter 110% effort, all of us are liars if we say that. Liam should be more intuitive of Sophia's needs, but if he's not picking up on signals she needs to communicate to him what she needs. Her inability or unwillingness to engage in this conversation is a character flaw, and it is no better or worse than Liam's efforts in bed. From what we have seen he isn't unwilling to do the things that she wants, she's literally not telling him the things that she wants.

The fixation some people have with Liam, and cucking and humiliating him, is weird to me. There was so much hate for the guy, even before the casino, that I can't help but look with a little bit of side eye when I hear people talk about wanting to see him humiliated or commit suicide. It's equally weird when we elevate Sophia into a "goddess" like she is purely good and sympathetic in all things. If you have Sophia on the filthy route, you need to accept that what she's doing is outside the bounds of her marriage and would be considered "immoral" by just about anyone.
I agree with your thoughts. I too don't understand the hate Liam gets from some people. He is an Ideal husband. Everyone talks about him not caring about Sophia's needs but completely ignore the fact that he has been her husband for around 18-20 years and has taken care of her needs as stated by Sophia herself. Now in this new city if Liam is a little busy trying to bring his family the best life he would expect cooperation from his wife. If she can't control her urges for a month or two then the problem is Sophia not Liam. Sophia never conveys her dissatisfaction to Liam in the entire story. Understandably this is a game about corruption so that part of the logic has to be ignored but then hating on Liam is also not correct and idolising Sophia is also wrong.

Also something that is not very logically is that after the morello event she has the option to refuse sex with Liam as a punishment I suppose. Now she has been horny for over a week. Constantly giving into the lust and have fantasies of getting gangbanged by teenagers, being constantly teased and yet she is refusing to do it with her husband.

The maid's name is Nathalie. Her next event is just before the concert
Oh thank you for the reminder

Well, you are right. But I see them as a filler. Like in some Animes who have filler Arc´s(Story)

This is the mistake that is made, we appeal to the past when the present is important. The joys and needs of partners change throughout life, Liam's needs are clearly less, even before San Alejo.
He continues to inflate his performance but the reality is different. So, the way out: a "Fernando" for Sophia or Liam has to close his eyes, which started with the prison visit :unsure:
What can Sophia talk to Liam about? I need 3/4 a week and you give me 3/4 a month.
We can look at it this way: Liam has his needs covered but some hurt feelings.
It is possible that as sexual desire decreases, the importance of sexual relations decreases for this person.

But the way L&P develops the story is the most dangerous for Sophia. A woman who would understand her situation would seek a lover without unnecessary risk, but Sophia doesn't recognize her condition and her actions are erratic, insane even, mixing the neighbors' children, her own students and ...

The update will be finished around middle of May at the latest.
Really ?
1 month and a half to complete the remaining events?
I find that a bit long. :unsure:

Around February 1, L&P really go into V.0.130. So 28 + 31 + 30 + 15 = 104 days to complete V0.130.

And that was meant to be a short update.
My god, L&P and his perfectionism.:cry:

What is the duration of the rock concert, will it be a separate big update ?
There will be a "very small" Dylan/Ellie event, a Nathalie event, and another bonus storyline in the v0.150 update as well (from here), but the concert will probably be the largest of the four. We likely wont know for sure until the current update is released though.
