The problem with AL, IMO, is lazy writing. Suddenly a character with little prior development turns out to be a psychopath who whatever you do, decides to burn down a house with people in it. And that ends the story, making everything that happens previously trivial. It is no longer the story of MC helping two girls and falling in love, of his friendship with a buddy with a disease, of his flirtations with other girls.... Suddenly it's the story of a random crazy woman who commits a crime out of nowhere. The illness of the protagonist's bro might not be there, just as half the characters and situations might not be there, and the story would be the same. It only matters to the story that MC meets the crazy girl and any other girl, the crazy girl gets jealous of that other girl, whatever her story is, and burns down the house with her rival in it. That's not how you write a good story.

WTF are you talking about. The arsonist is Melissa's father, a drunkard and an abusive man that beat her daughter.

There are better models in other games; over all, the unrealistic female bodies are a turn off for me; but in general visual elements are decent; and I agree, facial expressions are great. One of the best things of this game.

Saying that the writing is inconsistent is a way to say it's bad, I think. Inconsistency is not a good thing. My problem is not the mix of comedy and dramatic elements. My problem is that the drama is over the top and doesn't mix well with the goofy teen comedy elements.

I think drug dealing is fine. It's a realistic subplot and can be interesting. But the subplot of cock sucking in the toilets has the sole purpose of including unnecesary porn scenes and justify the silly system of money. And I do think it ruins several of the HOTs as characters. Who wants as a Li a girl who sucks cocks for a few bucks in the toilets? It's hard to get attached to a character like that. It's not my kink, that's for sure. If it makes me a member of the anti-NTR brigade, great, I am. And that includes Lily, when she asks MC for money for a blowjob at the prep's party. I think a lot of fans just decide to pretend it doesn't exist and focus on other things of those characters (as MC does, by the way) but it's not something that contributes to make appealing a character like Riona, for example.

Another thing is the Burke case. Some of the HOTs could prostitute themselves just to him in exchange of a scholarship. That would be drama enough, create a decent antagonist (I'm sure things like that happens in real life), and it wouldn't turn the girls into cheap whores. DPC doesn't respect his female characters, not just by turning some of them into cheap whores, also making them always dress like whores and wear those over-the-top makeups, but at the same time he wants us to take their stories seriously.

I don't think DPC is looking to win awards, but he does intend to create something that isn't just a porn game for a quick fap. It aims to create a good story and good characters. But he goes overboard with the porn elements, and he goes overboard with the drama.

This is something that I can understand. On the other hand, it in a way can be used as a character development tool, for example Rio. She can be seen actually falling for MC, probably wanting, not to make it sound dramatic: "leave that life behind".

So I guess it's how it's handled in the end.

There are other titles that were meh 80% of the way than ended up great.

So I will reserve any judgement till the game's end.

I personally don't enjoy the game as much as before, but it remains a top 10 AVN title for sure.

Well, I guess some people STILL haven't realised after almost 5 years and 9 chapters and a half that the game's LIs are Josy, Maya, Bella, Sage and Jill and none of them is sucking cocks for money. And none of them is a slut, because the only guy who's banging them in the whole story is our MC.

I think you've generally got it right, but Quinn doesn't do that herself. She delegated to Riona, the one girl that could easily get with any DIK and could send it. That is why she is sitting on the bench feeling down just afterwards. That, and the fact she had to enter the library to ditch the laptop which triggered her OCD.

Immediately. For all the folks here love to complain about DPC, and he doesn't want anyone talking about this place on his Discord or Patreon, he has one of his mods upload weekly reports, and the new versions, here.

Huh. Sounds like a cool, dude. When I have the money, I'll have to make sure to show my support.

Lol :KEK: , he’s the Dean, covering up the drug trade and the sex racket at his college:KEK:, and also wielding power and screwing his students, taking advantage of his position, just like he’s spending scholarships the wrong way.:KEK:
It’s not Quinn who’s scared of him, it’s her he’s afraid of.:WeSmart:
If shit happens, Quinn only has to say a few words, and she goes from suspect to witness, and Burke goes away for a long time.:WeSmart::KEK:

Uh, didn't Cathy confess to Jade at the bar / apologize for sleeping with Stephen?

Not that I recall, no. But that may be a scene that changes based on the player's choices, and I didn't fulfill the requirements.
What I remember of the bar scene was Cathy telling Jade she thought she could deal with the aftermath of the Rooster post but now she's not so sure. Foreshadowing her decision to quit, basically. And MC gets the feelbads and says something like "Damn, I thought she'd be tough enough to get through it. This sucks."

Imagine chapter 10 is a final decision making before the big disaster which is about to come. Can't imagine college war is about to happened
