Now the thread has slowed down a bit here are my thoughts;
Overall I was a bit disappointed. I think in part this is a hype thing, but also a time frame thing. At 6 weeks longer in development time than episode 6 and 7 weeks longer than 7 it felt to me like there wasn’t enough extra content for the extra development time.
I’m concerned about the decision to split paths already. 8 episodes in with maybe 8 to go, having 6 or even 7 paths with Zoe seems crazy to me. Especially if certain scenes are locked behind choices prior to the split, for example, getting a Bella x Jill threesome but only if you had been on both their paths before the split. I know this is a long shot example but still.
I did like some of the subtle consequences this episode. For example, the teacher getting beaten up if you tell the crazy guy to play chess. Then if he get’s expelled the nerd gets a girl back to his room. That said I thought the Rusty subplot of being worried about the windows was not handled well, on all but one play through I’d paid for the windows before he comes to my room, and on the other I’d still got over 40 $ more than needed. I think MC should have been able to tell the DiKs by text when he ordered the windows and stopped that subplot.
I liked the sex scenes for the main girls. The first Bella one was very sexy, I also liked Maya and Josy in the hot tub and Maya in the classroom. Jill was great, her awkwardness was cute, though I did find it funny that DPC must have realised he made her to tall, when the MC couldn’t line up for doggy. Honourable mention to Quinn and Sage threesome. If it had more of the strap on stuff I’d have loved it, but that ended a bit early.
I’ll also mention the Mel and Sarah scenes. Mel looked great giving head and the glory hole with the two random girls was really sexy. The Jade scene was okay, but lacked the sexiness of her first one IMO.
Right I’ll try and keep the rest brief, in no particular order;
- Jade’s reaction to being dumped annoyed me a bit. Should the MC have done it by text? Probably not, but how long was she expecting to keep fucking him really.
- Stephen after Bella, slightly worried, though the people who think it’s NTR when any female character has sex with someone who isn’t the MC might put DPC off following through. Imagine if MC opens her up then leaves and Stephen get’s the benefit.
- Feel like Jade may only help if MC is fucking her.
- Jill catching MC and Bella really landed for me.
- Thought the pool event should have happened even if not dating, then you don’t get the Spa. MC bends over backwards to help Maya and Josy and the best they can muster is a happy birthday text?
- Lynette at the Royce house is interesting, definitely some connection between her and Jill.
- Rooster felt a little flat, not enough interaction.
- The most recent blog suggests Interlude isn’t a core chapter, wonder if it counts towards the ‘16’. Also curious if it will be a full episode? Or something smaller like a thousand renders and 50 animations. Zoe looked good when she smiled for Neil.
