What happened in AL was just... lazy, for the lack of a better word.If DPC's intention is try to and reinvent the wheel, then have it, but I'd argue that a great appeal of these adult games is that any and all consequences are rarely, if ever, all that severe for the MC. It's what caused a lot of the controversy with AL because there was real consequence there, albeit with the biggest one being completely out of the control of the player.
These games and VNs are pure escapism wish fulfillment where even the most dire of circumstances have a way out of them that doesn't result in devastating consequences for the MC or other characters close to them. Pulling on the emotional heartsrings is one thing, but upending the MC's entire life with very serious consequences is not something I think people really respond well too and we saw that with AL, so we'll see how far DPC wants to push it this time.
By consequences I meant a main LI telling you to take a hike because you couldn't keep it in your pants.
Or, in more extreme cases, something like ruining your relationship with Derek, because you broke his sister's heart and stole her girlfriend. If it ever comes to that.
