How you feel and how well written it is are two different things, if it's well written then you can feel a range of emotions, if it's badly written then I might not feel anything at all because of that fact.Not sure what you mean about emotions getting in the way. Whether or not we like something or consider something good is entirely based on subjective feelings. Emotions and feelings therefore can't really get in the way of that process, rather they are necessary for that process.
Not saying you can't like the ending, that's also a fair position, but there are quite a few issues one can take with it.
Thanks. Now I hope I can find a save near that.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
"How you feel and how well written it is are two different things (...) the objective side to this is how well written it is, not how it makes you feel."
If I understand you correctly, you would argue that things can be objectively well-written. I disagree.
In my mind, whether or not something is well-written (or well done or good in general) is a value judgement, same as whether or not something is poorly written (or poorly done or bad in general). All value judgments are in my book reliant on there being someone to make that value judgement. The value judgement this someone makes is a result of their preferences (emotions, feelings, desires, etc) which are subjective. From that it follows that all value judgments are subjective.
I'm also curious about what traits you would say objectively determine if something is well-written, but that's possibly a way off topic discussion to the thread.
"Also you don't have to say subjective feelings, if you're going to say feelings then we already know they're going to be subjective, you can't have objective feelings, that's just an oxymoron."
True (and this is pretty much my position on value judgments), I just wanted to emphasize my point that it's subjective, because it's based in feelings (preferences would have been a better word to use, though that would still have been a tautology).
I'm honestly fairly new to porn games, mostly read hentai so far (lots or mind break and corruption to be found there).Any recommendations for corruption/mind break stuff like that, I think I need a break from vanilla.
A game where you are supposed to enjoy the writing is meant to have the results be subjective, but there are objective things that make up bad writing. All chapters until the last had great writing, characters, and dialogue. The problem with the last chapter, is that it tears down all you have built up with your choices thus far. What even is the point in trying to make things work with both Meg and Mel if the choice wasn't there to begin with. Also, Leah was criminally underused, she basically existed in only the first 3 chapters and I literally forgot she existed until you go to the hospital with your best pal. If she had been integral to the choices you have been making, for example if you chose her, she wouldn't go nuts, etc. But in the last chapter, she literally came out of nowhere and minus one clue, which was vague at best, there was no reason to suspect her, especially when Rena and Mel were both also sexually interested in you. It was essentially a Deux Ex Machina sort of twist. And the "type" of person you are never plays into the ending. What if you could have prevented the fire given you piece enough clues as a bookworm, or you got ripped enough that you could carry both out as an athletic, or you became friends with a lot of people that they were willing to come with you into the fire to help out. Essentially there are problems with aspects of the game and pointing them out is fairly objective in my opinion. I gave this a 4/5 due to the problems with the last chapter and how jarring it was compared to the first 6. It would have been a 5/5 if it managed to nail the finale.How you feel and how well written it is are two different things, if it's well written then you can feel a range of emotions, if it's badly written then I might not feel anything at all because of that fact.
The writing in this overall, it's well written, it's not flawless, but it's still well written, how you feel about something being well written is just that, how you feel about it, the objective side to this is how well written it is, not how it makes you feel.
Also you don't have to say subjective feelings, if you're going to say feelings then we already know they're going to be subjective, you can't have objective feelings, that's just an oxymoron.
Title: Being a DIK
written by the soulSo I'm new to this whole visual novel thing. Fantastic medium really. This one is only the 3rd one I've checked out but it's the first one I played all the way through. DrPinkCake, sir or madam as the case may be, you are an amazing storyteller. I never expected that something like an AVN would keep me riveted to my chair as this one did. I also never expected to be a complete emotional wreck at the end of it. Never have I ever read or listened to anything that ripped my heart out the way the ending of this story did.
I know you probably have other projects you are working but I would like to beg of you please... give us an update to this story in which we have at least a chance to save them both. Please? I don't care if comes out 10 years from now because you only work on it for 5 minutes at a time here and there. I don't think giving us the chance to save them both would compromise your original vision.
Great work. Great story. Looking forward to future stories. Thank you for this one.... even if I am still balling my eyes out.
Thank you,

Well you had a bunch of choiced during the game, that define releationships... It was very immersive and deep.. Not sure what you expect, maybe MC ditching all the girls and starting an android uprise.. This is not AAA game, its based on donations, its erotic game. And as far those go its one of the best:Great story, alright infulence on the story, Great renders...This is Mass Effect 3 all over again. At least with Bioware games you knew none of the choices would change the overall story. Too many people confuse deaths and not-happy endings as "good" because they lack experience with non-vanilla storytelling. Or they're suckers for gimmicks, maybe. Either way this "Deus ex machina autistic ending"(accurate) is pointless and I'm not even interested in moving forward with the endings. Glad some of you liked the game. Shame a good thing had to go to waste.
