Am I the only one to think this game is a victim of his own succes/a victim of DPC talent?
His story started so smooth, the story was going forward at a good pace with 5 or 6 main girls and a couple of side chicks you could fool around with.. but then, he is so good at creating interesting characters and giving them depth that every new girls that hit the screen, his fans demand they become new LI and there's no end in sight because people want Rio, Camila, Melanie, Lilly, "Cinderella", Nicole, Sally, etc.. to have an endgame. And probably want more scene with Jade, Cathy, Tiffani, Tara, Felicia, Bianca, Leanne, etc...
On one hand, I understand why he's doing it since everyone is asking for it, but sometimes, I really wish this game had no "fan service" because I really love his writing and I would love to see a VN of the vision he had to start with (without all the things that doesn't move the plot forward). Something like the whole Maya situation, which was one of the biggest storyline since the beginning, seems to have been speedrun to end it quickly and focus on some new girls. I'm sure this plot isn't totally over, but the payoff really seemed underwhelming.
I didn't play Jill or Bella route yet, so I don't know how much those story advance, but with the cliffhanger at the end, I guess Bella route didn't advance that much?
