Just a perfect analysis !100% agree. Not for nothing are they the two games I have displayed a sig for, and Westpod was kind enough to let me use one of his Fanart images with both Sophia and Jessica as my Avatar.
JOHN does nt feature (as yet) any incest or scenes suggesting incest, which may be good or bad thing depending on your POV.
Jessica is not married but is in a relationship with long term boyfriend. Jessica is a journalist rather than a teacher. Those two things do mean that Jessica is closer to corruption than Sophia. Jessica has already had full lesbian sex with her neighbour, had some very erotic scenes with both an older guy and young kid, and had already let herself be masturbated by the Mayor.
Overall I still prefer the character and depiction of Sophia but Stoper's renders are pretty close to L&P in standard. I personally would give a slight edge to L&P for his use of colour and light, but then L&P has the downside of being obsessively perfectionist.
As I said these are my two top favourite VN's and I compare and contrast them purely as an example of my personal tastes. You may have slightly different tastes or opinions, and that is perfectly understandable. These are just MY personal faves.
Both games have their strengths, and with a lot of hindsight and attempts at comparison, I can't say which I prefer.
Poser-Voyeur talks about colors and light (which I absolutely do not dispute), I could oppose Stoper's perfect viewing angles. The debate would be interminable. So let's leave Sophia to the AWAM thread, and go to JOHN's thread for those who share our tastes ...
