But we arent really talking about those mcs. There are a lot of horrible mcs on this site and I agree that I really hate the sleep molestations and mind control stuff that some devs insist on putting in their games. I ignore sleep molestation every time I am given the option, but that doesnt mean eric doing it is fine. I also think that's kind of a broad description anyway. I've seen plenty of Harem games that dont have any sleep molestation or mind control.
I'll argue the case of mistreatment. Where as he's not doing it outright. He does:
1) Go behind his girlfriend's back to have sexual relations with her daughters (most women tend to frown on that)
2) Manipulate Lisa into sexual acts using her naivety against her (victims in this group are another debate)
3) He ridicules Alice shows to get more influence over what she does during them
4) He blackmails Kira into blows jobs if he catches Max and Kira in the tub (only because the smell of sex would make Ann suspicious, guessing that would hurt her if she found out)
5) Mastubates to Ann's naked daughter in her room (what Ann does not know can't hurt her, right? unless she finds out then we would know if it would.......
6) Frames Ann's son for theft to get him kicked out of the house (Parents generally don't like that)
7) After the breakup his true colors are revealed so now he's harassing her at work and threatened her that should she quit he'd make sure she'd never find a good job in the area again.
Did I miss anything? If you can sweep all those things under the rug I guess you can say he never mistreated anyone.
Personally... I was!
Realistically, that alone is more than a red flag and creepy and certainly reason enough to kick him on the streets. Keyword: Realistically.
Honestly your take is so out there I was debating on whether or not to even engage with it. I respect your opinion and there is nothing wrong with enjoying the game or one of its characters. My problem with Eric has always been with how poor of a character he actually is. I don't wnt to go on too long with this but he is a good looking guy, with his own business or at least a high paid position. He has money and looks. Dude could be fucking a different 20 year old every night and partying his ass off. Why would he waste his time playing house with Ann? Why the interest in her daughters?
Ah, so you need to relativize in order to make a point.Sigh...
Sure, that is mistreatment in the modern world, not in the porn games I play.
Does that make it clearer?
Also, not sure why you all jump on me.
I don't disagree that he's not particularly well written in the game, or that he wants to use the family for his purposes.
Sigh...

Also, not sure why you all jump on me. I didn't say Eric is a nice guy. I said he is not worse than the typical harem game MC. There are many many games where the protagonist acts like Eric, or worse.

Not in a porn game.
But realistically, a guy out of highschool that creeps on the sister of his girlfriend or mother etc also deserves to be kicked out. Keyword: Realistically.
Also, realistically, a man can't 'perform' several times per day as we do in these games, doesn't drive women insane with his dick the first time he has sex and all that. Keyword: Realistically.
And again realistically, people going after their mother, aunt and sisters are more that a bit problematic. Keyword: Realistically.
That's a fundamental flaw with me in conferring tone through written text. There was no malice, ill intent or bad faith meant by those words. I apologize if I came off a little too strong on the wording. My bad.
Power vacuum's mc even makes fun of those creepy mcs like the ones Troll mentioned.
Eh? He does that to make money.
Hmmm... I see what you mean. The blackmail thing Eric pools, or peeping on young girls is disturbing, more disturbing than the usual harem MC. I agree with that.
Not really buddy. I didn't mean my comment as "oh, no! Poor me, I am attacked from all sides!" I was just surprised at the reactions.
No kidding, seems nothing is off limits in his writing. He goes in on everything. The Eric sence was the first one I picked on then I started to notice references to other games.
Also, yes the web show idea starts when he needs to out buy Eric (swim suit and Party dress). He gets the idea initially from learning what Alice is doing
Actually, logically he should get rid of the ones in the bedrooms and bathrooms for the absolute minimum because now their a liability. The others can at least be chalked up to security. But he'll temporarily need at least two for income for groceries.
Unless things changed quite much since I played the game, that's not how it happened to me. We get the cameras in the first quest, before Eric is even mentioned at the table.
