look up the changelog, it help avoiding being insulted (most of the time -_-)
to anwser your question, there was sex with a main dxd character since the previous update and there's a second one in this new update (thought the gameplay is still horrible and starting from the start for refreshing your memory of the plot probably count as a form of selfarming)
What don't you like about the gameplay?

What don't you like about the gameplay?
first i'd like to point out i realy like the scenario, it sound like something that could happen in DxD univers and the characters are relatively close to their canon counter part and above all cucking that anoying noisy protagonist from an anime that have greatly disapointed me when i was a teenager feel realy satisfying ^^ (i was unreasonably angry when art switched from japanese to korean is how i simplify my hate)
so about what i don't like in the game .... yep the gameplay is a good summary, which make it kinda hard on me when you ask WHAT i don't like about the gameplay as it's mostly everything, i say mostly everything as the general corruption mechanism is fine but the gear are wrong, managing mana, to hypnotise a target, to raise her corruption progressively while eroding her defense is great so nothing to say about the general mechanism, the problem is the gear in said mechanism :
mana management is an unrewarding monotonous extremely slow process in wich you go through unchanging repeatable scene for many in-game weeks
then the corruption process is even more horrible (though it's shorter) as it only consist of going through repeatable unchanging scene
the explanation are clear but they are dumped on the player during the intro which is irelevant as it look like an exposition not a tutorial, while said explanation are accessible at any given time they are in a barely noticable location of the main map
the hint system is not player friendly as it only work if the player understood that the info from the intro are instruction and not setting exposition
the phone mostly suck, can't call, can't text, redudant icon, feature that have no relation to the plot ...

I will respond to things I have a good answer for.
Well, regarding the lighthouse, it was deliberately difficult in the next update. I plan to add more scenes with the girls from the intro, two for each, which will give around 30/40 mana.
For now, the phone is just a place to put things instead of having them scattered on the screen, and its main function will appear after the Ravel update, which will allow for automatic mana regeneration without having to repeat scenes.
As for how the girls are corrupted, I admit that this is due to my lack of experience.

so from what i understand, the current gameplay (and how tiresome it is -_-) as well as the mostly useless phone are all due to the absence of planned content ... it's kinda sad if i'm right as the current gameplay is extremely detrimental to the enjoyment of the player and in the end the current game isn't representative of the planned finished game :S
so the only real point for you is the instruction being seen as exposition i guess
btw thanks for the fast anwser and explanation (i was genuinely wondering if the current state was intended) and i'm realy eager to see the end result
