It's curious. Many people come to this thread and say the same thing. Then they come back and say the same thing ... over and over ... but they always come back. What is it about Sophia that drives them crazy?
A lot of folks like to complain about the blue balling, and teasing in the game, and that is understandable to a degree. When you play an adult game you generally get into the sex scenes much sooner than this game has. Yet, the game hasn't really lost any popularity and has been growing just fine.
Compare it with another game for example "Elena's Life". That game has gone to the opposite extreme. It started off in a way not unlike AWAM there was some build-up, but it's like once that cat was out of the bag it was out of the bag for good. Elena has fucked every man in town multiple times, and the same with the women. They run out of characters to bang that had build up, all those already got some pussy, and move on to new characters to fuck that has no build-up.
Going too far in the opposite direction as Elena's life has can also remove some joy from the game. It's like 'meet little chat, fuck, repeat" Elena could have continued on a similar path to Sophia. She could have put off the fucking much longer and built up characters more and teased more.
Both games have a female protagonist, both based on corruption / cheating elements... Both have had a fair number of updates...
Now compare the two games, ignore that Elena got a 10-month head start in development both have been around long enough to have their support base built up to what it's gonna be long run.
AWAM: 2010 pages of people talking, 215 reviews, 1289 patreon supporters.
Elena's Life: 198 pages of people talking, 26 reviews, 207 patreon supporters.
If AWAM went and did the same sort of thing that Elena's Life did it would not be getting the people talking, reviewing, or supporting on patreon as it currently does. Elena's life had the potential to be like AWAM, but it got too much into the sex stuff and people got bored of the sex pretty quick.
People prefer a 'Tease" to a "Slut". Sophia could have fucked a dozen different people by now reasonably. Yet, she has not... Build up, and teasing, build up, and teasing.
Even in real life the same comparison could be made. Now imagine two different girls.
Girl 1: Has been out on a dozen dates with you, she sucked your dick on date 1, you fucked her in the pussy and ass on date 2. You meet chat a couple of minutes then bone her repeat. She is your fuck buddy, and every other guys fuck buddy. She has fucked half the town probably got an STD, and gonna hit you up for child support when that inevitably happens.
Girl 2: You have really gotten to know her. You talk to her every day, and hang out flirting and teasing. You romance her and take her out on dates, and she hasn't put out yet, but you did get to kiss her. You groped her boobies last time the two of you went out for a picnic.
Sure some guys like girl 1, and girl 1 can be fun for a little bit, but in reality when it comes to which bitch you actually want to be with it's always girl 2.
