Yes, you are right. It disgusts me. I know that some in the forum are on sexual blackmail. But I don't know how one can
come to the conclusion that a woman can be corrupted in this way so that she likes it. That won't happen in the real world.
And Aiden would land on "metoo" with good reason.
I'm only following the path because I think it's important to the story. Even a gradual corruption of this kind ofhumiliation sucks! For me it only works if Sophia takes control at some point.
We already know, from L&P, that this story won't end in a gangbang, as most teacher blackmail stories do. If Sophia gains control, takes the initiative, or ends up liking the tasks, it is no longer blackmail. It will be a series of sexually motivated, or influenced encounters. (That to me could be pretty tedious & boring, if they're necessary for progression). That she may end up enjoying the process has already been telegraphed in the unfolding of the first task. I don't want Sophia to unrealistically end up liking the tasks, which would stretch credulity to the limit, given what kind of uptight Puritan she was just a matter of weeks ago.
Surely one of the main features of games/VNs like this is that they can explore taboos & fantasies which are totally unacceptable in real life. I've lost track of the number of times I've written that they are like fairy stories for adults. Fairy stories for children are full of gruesome details, far worse than blackmail but they are widely accepted because most readers understand they're fantasies, as do the kids being read to. Even the details are crazy, e.g. does anybody want to go dancing in glass slippers? [Before anybody writes, I know that in the original tale of Cinderella they're not glass. Anybody want the full explanation, send me a pm].
Personally, I find incest to be a turn-off & so avoid it whenever I can but imagine if in the fictional world of San Alejo incest was socially acceptable & an unremarkable everyday occurence. Now, the question of whether the removal of the taboo would destroy the premise & purpose of certain storylines would, for me, have the answer, yes. I don't know if AWAM would then have as many fans but I'm guessing not. It also means that we could end it in the next couple of updates, "Let's have sex tonight Mom." "OK son, looking forward to it."
If Sophia is not going to be coerced into carrying out the tasks, why not get rid of Aiden, along with Bennett, right now. It would be easy & could simplify things a lot. This, to me, would be preferable to having Sophia take the initiative etc. It's a binary choice for me & it should either be genuine, or should disappear. Nevertheless, that's not how I think things are going to happen.
This game is mild by the standards of the genre it inhabits.....very mild. It needs blackmail to move things along, (however slowly). Aiden & Bennett have both achieved results. At present the Aiden blackmail storyline is not as ridiculous, by a big margin, as the driving across town for a shower & to pick up some filthy points episode. Once again I find myself defending the blackmail.
