That's exactly what this was. L&P started dumbing down a couple of years ago, probably when he realised so many of his paying Patrons were young, (i.e. schoolboys....how else to account for making Dylan a second MC? Sophia's inflation?, etc. AWAM should have been retitled, 'A MILF & her Son') & that a significant proportion identified with the "young rascal" in some way. Don't get me wrong, I don't hate Dylan, just his elevation to top billing. I also don't hate coercion at all & when it comes to blackmail, it's essential but the meeting was just not believable on a number of levels.Erotic
Sense of tension, danger, humiliation, voyeur, tactile, subjugation. Although (highly) sexually charged throughout, I think an erotic strip-tease might have been a better choice. Following Aiden's continuation to humble Sophia, the flashes and groping felt more like schoolboy fap fantasy.
This update was unexpected & I had a bad feeling about it from the second I saw Sophia's outfit weeks ago. I won't rehash all my previous comments but will rather say that, IMO, it has fundamentally altered what had, until now, been a very satisfactory & balanced progression of the tasks, for those fans on that route. It was like dumping a pile of breezeblocks into a Zen garden.
I'd like to think that one, (IMO the only), good thing to result from it would be the pleasing of the anti-blackmail, Aiden-hating fans, now that they've got rid of him, combined with an end to the one sentence sniping from the side-lines, attempts at kink-shaming, the overly-inflated self-righteous outrage & general virtue signalling. Judging by recent comments, this hasn't happened yet but it's still early days. Perhaps the realisation that it's over will take a while to sink in? Maybe Aiden's severed limbs sent to the four quarters of San Alejo would suffice? People, you've got your wish. Why not rejoice?
When it does percolate & we're all over-dosing on a steady diet of Dylan/incest/etc., (or not in my case), for the next 3 years, I hereby reserve the right to appear with one-off snide comments complaining about too much/not enough/disgusting & so on, as & when the mood takes me. Just kidding...no really.....
I don't have any good idea of where the VN is going after this, (& we didn't even learn what the fifth task was) but owing to the roll-out pace & general sense of disappointment occasioned by this update, it will be a while before I care.
