Well, it’s time for the rant.
Disappointment, "we don’t care about your opinion", whatever you want to call it. When I first started this game, what I liked was the fact that it was about a really conservative married woman, mother of 2, who was put in different situations by different people. Be it seduced, tempted or even forced, I liked the slow burn, that it was more on the realistic side of the spectrum. No magic, no "I bump my head and now I can’t resist to fuck even the ugliest guy in town". Well... realistic compared to other games. Some of the characters are pretty much unbelievable in their interactions with each other, but I didn’t have a problem with that, as long as the game stayed the same; you control Sophia and you choose to interact, or not with the different characters.
But then came Aiden, the type of unbelievable character I’m talking about. And no, I don’t have a problem with him. While he’s not the nicest guy, what I like and wanted to see was how Sophia would interact with him or to quote a famous author, "How far can she go?" No, the problem with Aiden was that he was an obligatory character on the Dylan path, and some Dylan fans didn’t like that, either because they didn’t want to see Sophia blackmailed or with anybody else than Dylan; and they are pretty loud about it. The point being, now L&P has to create a solution, the boarding school, and to content the Dylan fans, he will even add a side-story with Amber, Sophia, Dylan, and Sam, where Dylan is taking the upper hand on Sam with Amber. Aafter all the shit Sam has done to Sophia, it’s time to take revenge. (Well, Sam isn’t trying to fuck is own mother, but take that Sam!).
My problem with that event was not only that we shifted perspective from Sophia to Dylan sometimes, but that event was the typical "harem teenage boy MC event" full of cliches. The "I grope this woman boobs multiple times and she doesn’t realize it or doesn’t mind because it’s the MC". The "MC has a magical dick that can make a woman cum faster and more effectively than anybody even though he’s a virgin" (well in the case of Amber, almost). The "I won against my worst enemy" (from Dylan fans point of view at least
). The "I have found an easier woman to fuck (Amber) and the woman I’m supposedly in love with has completely vanished from my thoughts (but don’t worry, she’s still my main target, that other woman is just a bonus in my harem)". I could add more but you get my point.
I was annoyed because it was not what I came for but then I thought, "it’s just a little side story, this is just L&P having fun, the game isn’t changing". But then the Dylan/Ellie event came. I thought it was strange because L&P had said that nothing was supposed to happen between those 2 and that he had the story already written from the beginning, that it was just a demand from his patrons to explain the animosity between the 2 siblings. Cool. Oh, and it will be 8 events apparently. Okay. Well apparently, they won’t just reconcile with each other, but it’s just a side story, right? Right? And then, the Emma/Dylan storyline came along. Hum... that’s a nice way to end the Dylan/Sophia path if you choose to and it make sense, because that was Sophia goal towards Dylan. Cool. Ok. Why does it have to be multiple events? Who cares about Dylan and Emma love story? This storyline should be one event, case closed. Isn’t this game about the choices you make for Sophia? What is all this content about Dylan and girls other than Sophia? What is all this harem protagonist bullshit?
And then came this update, where you can choose to view the yoga event (not a side-story) from Dylan's point of view, having him interact with Marie, Patricia, etc. OK, now it’s clear, L&P is considering Dylan as a second MC. Great. But wait, didn’t L&P remove the Liam side of the story because it would take to much time? So why all this content with Dylan? Well I could be cynical and say it’s for the money, or maybe he just think it’s a really cool idea. All I can say is that the "virgin teenage boy" is suddenly super successful with all the women and he gives them the best fuck of their life while he has never fucked before is so overused that I’m mostly allergic to the genre now.
So yes, I’m complaining, and yes, I don’t have to play that side of the story, but now I have to wait an even longer time (L&P has confirmed that Dylan is now almost considered as a second MC) for each update for some Dylan content that was not what this game was about. I didn’t care that Dylan had the most content before with Sophia. It made sense because as her son, it would be the most difficult for them to cross that path. Maybe add to that a girlfriend and that's enough for me on the Dylan path. Why did he choose to put this in his game? It was already long before. All this time could have been spent on developing Sophia and other character interactions for Dylan and Sophia, or even removed which would be a huge time saving. Well, whatever. Thanks for the reading for those of you who made it this far. Sorry for the block of text and the engrish.
