Replaying Episode 3, and just finished the Zoey story that MC tells Bella. This is a canon event, but it makes me wonder if he's ever going to tell the other girls about his relationship with her. I know he shares some details during Truth or Dare with Maya and Josy during Halloween, but that's it. And since Zoey has returned back in MC's life, I imagine we'll get little summaries with Sage and Jill. That or MC just tells them off screen, which would be a bit lame but it's a story we've seen twice so I guess it'd just be redundant at this point.
It'll turn out in true soap-opera fashion that Zoey doesn't actually exist and her imagined self is just the result of repeated kicks to the head.

As a novel it ticked all the boxes. As a game though the only way to win was not to play.

You hit the nail on the head.

The key is that's presented as a "game" or better a multiple path novel (what is called a VN instead of a Kinetic Novel).

The implicit "contract" with the reader if you publish a multiple branch novel is that there should be at least one good ending.

It's a so widespread paradigm that everyone was expecting that.

And DPC deliberately violated it because "oh, look at me: I'm so original and great that I don't have to respect the expectations of the idiots whose pledges had made me rich!"

MC: "The bitch left me, Josy. Hey, where do you want to go to lunch? My treat."

I don't know, it seems superfluous. Mc talks to Bella about it but for a specific reason, if to date with no one else he has felt the need to talk about his past I don't see why he should in the future. With the new girl why would you talk about the previous one?

I mean there's a similar thing where in Episode 6, MC talks about his mom dying during childbirth, how it affects his dad every year, and MC doesn't really like his birthday all that much because of it. He shares with whomever he chose, Jill or Sage. He's told the other girls about his mom's death, but never gotten any deeper than that. That has to happen eventually, but like I said it'd probably be relegated to off screen at this point.

you can join his dc for free, no need patreon. just cant chat etc. if he has 13k patreon and need patreon for normal acces to dc, than yes he can have max 13k active user on dc. still too much to deal with it. and probably there isnt 50k banned people.

the girls want you to take this risk and one of them will give you happines. what does usually mc say? go with your heart. choose one.

and we are glad for it. thank you.

dont give bad ideas to dpc :WutFace:
i have much better idea, lock vinny in his own basement and let the "nurse" have some fun with him.
So you want to lock Leah, a crazy besotted psycho bitch, with Vinny, a liar manipulative bastard fuckboy... It would the ultimate evil alliance (at the same level of Voldemort with Palpatine)... The result:

Even japanese AVN (there are some really dark titles, like School Days) have some happy endings, but in Acting Lessons, you have to sacrifice at least one of the MG (to get the third one, you have to let burn the other 2 girls), and this is just plain bullshit
You telling me this is more than porn to you? Get a real hobby. Seriously.
If you play BaDIK just for porn, you are playing the wrong game. There are plenty of better options... Even better, if you want to watch porn, you can get real porn with real people ;) :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:

Yea i feel pretty much the same i think if there where the option to negate and have a happy end even if it would be hard to achive people would have loved it or atleast give people the choice to try save both even if then all 3 die it would have felt better than choosing wich has to die for the other to live and wierdly i think that Bad has a setup for the same scenario
Well, if he pulls that stunt again, he will go on my blacklist of authors to avoid. I was upset at one of them dying back then. Since then my own wife died in real life so that sort of thing effects me even more now.
