While conceptually this game is interesting, the characterization and narrative sucks, it ride so hard on Deus Ex Machina, everything happen because of the narrative calls for it not because it feel organic, the villains are all one dimensional bricks, they hit hard and have no subtlety or form of higher cognitive functions. Less be said about most characters in the game, a whole bunch of assholes and bitches, and nothing can be done about any of them, no all of them are more powerful than the MC so it feel redundantly unsatisfying.
I feel some of the few likeable characters all got killed early on in the story and now we are stuck as is typical with the pricks. And somehow you have all those people following the insane Queen bitch Astoria even if she is clearly a mass murderous maniac, also this last update where it implies the MC is basically the latest in a long line of MCs offed by Astoria, yet doesn't she need the MC? Why is Lora not plotting to kill her? I mean its obvious the Stockholm Syndrome is hitting her hard, to the point she hasn't figured that the only way she could protect those she love are to see the bitch dead and working with her is likely only going to make things worst. Similar for Yong & Miriel, I liked Miriel but frankly the blind sycophany going around is aggravating by this point the statement the MC had at the end, of just leaving all of them to die is sounding pretty appealing. Which is a huge problem if the Dev want to make us give a shit, worst even when your story is a 'Harem' story, its going to be really hard when most girls are unlikeable.
Some people have been pissed because the MC is acting out this chapter, well frankly guess what, I think its natural at this point, its called a mental breakdown, the MC saw his son die, found his wife was alive and hadn't contacted him while he suffered alone, their is a major crisis happening, all the madness, no one ever tell him anything, having to deal with all those aggressive bitches which are forcing him to do whatever they want. The narrative of this story feel like a death spiral that is going to choke itself to death by the end of it, oh and the cliffhangers, fuck cliffhangers, sure its a shitty trick to try to hook people so they become more invested and come back, but its such a useless fucking trick in particular when applying to the MC because everyone know nothing can happen to the MC of a story like that otherwise it would mean its just the story end.
