Not really surprised, more disappointed. I predicted this update was just going to be a hand job one in the off topic thread.
You bring up some good points. Expanding on your observations about the lingerie, any woman that brings lingerie to a private event knows exactly what she's doing. This is what frustrates me about L&P's writing. It's obvious to me it lacks real world experience and pools from erotic fiction.
I mean L&P even hints to it himself. Sofia constantly has slutty thoughts and fantasies. Constantly puts herself in situations to act on these slutty thoughts, but never does.
So okay in reality if Sofia got that aroused during that entire shota threesome hand job, she'd eventually go home and at least masturbate or jump on Leam. But she doesn't do any of that. If she doesn't end up unleashing in game days worth of pent up sexual frustration sometime, I'm going to simply treat this game like an unintentional comedy of predictability.
On the other hand I almost do feel sorry for L&P, because people keeping track of all of his hints for the game has really backed him into a corner and now if he deviates away from that he runs the risk of upsetting supporters.
I agree with most of your opinions, but I never feel sympathy for LP.
All the recorded schedules are conversations between LP and his sponsors.
This is LP's responsibility and his duty.
However, he changed his plans several times.
He had planned Dylan's twist, Emma's story, Claire's lesbian route, and he said he wanted to expand Dylan/Kristen's story (It's been 10 months already), but I found out recently that he backed down from that statement.
: Of course, he didn't change it arbitrarily.
: Sometimes there was a strong demand from sponsors, and sometimes he held a vote.
Recently, he held a vote on whether to continue or stop the senior event.
He announced the update date in advance, but it was never kept, and he always updated the game after making the first or second revision of the date.
He also held a vote on clothes and faces, but he lightly ignored the results.
(He eventually reworked the faces after receiving protests.)
He can change the schedule at any time.
It's just that he doesn't do it because he doesn't want to.
