To me Eric only distracts you from realizing that there is pretty much no storyline being followed. On the war path he's gone so let's see what's Aleksey comes up with.

Actually no, what you described is just a threat and motivational story plot, but for ntr it actually needs to happen. If you just threaten to murder someone, it's not murder. But I see where you are going.

I never cared much for Eric. He is a good plot device to get things rolling, but nothing more than that. If he was a more interesting character, his plots might have been worth something.
Once I tried the friendship path and it was boring as hell (well, except for all the neutral elements in which he plays no role in, these are identical on all paths). The only good path was the one where he would actually be a threat. But also that got old at some point and I got him kicked out. Since them I don't care to see anything of that char again. Good thing is that in BIBOAS you hardly notice him if you don't want to except for the scenes where you need to take a photo of him (or kick him out).

Btw, I now also played the Max' plot of Glamour and it was ok, just that constant control/submission/domination/punishment was really really annoying. I prefer better plots with a more natural progression. What saved it, was that massive self irony, with chars being fully aware that the whole situation is nuts.

Sure, but by that same logic, if you played a Sherlock Holmes-style mystery game following clues and piecing together a puzzle, for the dev cut the mystery before it is solved and pivot to something different, was the game never a mystery game in the first place or was it just never fulfilled because the dev changed his mind?

Similar to NTR, if you play a game with all the building elements of NTR, to have said NTR vanish before completion, it is still an NTR game, just one that never pans out.

This is a matter of semantics though to a degree.

Personality-wise I felt Eric was very weak, non-existent. I only liked his presence for the NTR element. Def think he was not a full realized character at all.

SO much of NTR is the build. The slow corruption. It just never panned out. The competitive character of Eric alone made it NTR. A game set up with a stereotypically more alpha figure plotting and planning to take all the women the MC wants. And, to some degree, winning. That's NTR.

Netorare LITERALLY means “cuckoldry”. So, where is the cuckoldry? When Eric shows up, not one of the girls is your lover. Not a one. The game was meant to have two paths. Get rid of Eric before he garners too much influence, or be the submissive voyeur of his harem that gets sloppy seconds on the occasion that he feels like sharing.

OG “friend” path likely would have resulted in one of two endings. Either Max eventually gets shipped to military school anyway or Eric makes him leave of his volition by humiliating him with things like making Max eat the girls out after he creampies them or forcing him to let the girls peg him or some shit.

Without a mob-style option where Eric actually disappears/dies, eliminating his influence over Ann is tough. I saw some mention of the full-blown porn-making route, but it’s not necessary. Kira’s already a pornstar, Alice is doing the webcam stuff. Ann is clearly a bit a wild/exhibitionist kind of girl, it’s just been bottled up and tucked away what for raising three kids and being a responsible adult. Assuredly, once Eric is gone it shouldn’t be too difficult for Kira and Alice to help convince Ann to start her own webcam show and quit working for Eric, thereby removing the last vestige of control he has over the family. Thus providing opportunity for other antagonists in the story.

Blech! That shit is garbage. Even if you disregard the suspicions that there’s some shady malware/keylogger-style shit going on, it takes ten days play ten minutes of content for all the lag on transitions and actions. It’s excruciating!

Eh? It has been tried and failed more than once? But there are a lot of games where the MC tries to fuck the mother of his girlfriend, and some are very successful. I know, cause I like MILFs.
Furthermore, on the not-a-teen protag, there are also games that come to mind where a not-teen guy tries to fuck the daughters of his girlfriend / employee.

Also, in the original BB, Max has shown interest in Olivia's mother as well.

Sorry friend, I'm not talking about other games/vn's just specifically Big Brother remakes.

Meh, those games are in for a bad start with lots of the community early on. Sure, good writing could have overcome those problems, like with the Joker movie that focused on the antagonist, but it is an uphill battle.

I can agree to that, a version of Big Brother that breaks the mold from the beginning would be something to take a look at.

That's fair. And though I don't want to admit it, games based around NTR do get less money than a standard harem. My only rebuttal would be that a game with Eric as the PoV would not be NTR, it would be a corruption/dom game, which people do love ;p

Reading this over "My Employee's family" comes to mind.

Speaking of similar games/alternate versions, which one’s the one where you learn that your family is witches and it turns out you’re some rarely occurring part of the male bloodline that can fuel all the women’s powers?

I highly doubt it unless the variables have the same name (I don't know if it can also depend on script names). You can only know for certain if you try.
A "skip day" option sometimes would be nice indeed, this way we don't get interrupted by breakfast and dinner. Let us know once you find out.
