I think he was fine as he was and could be fixed easily with some clear events that could cut him off early and different values of relationship points for him and Max. Max should have it easier for the sake of gameplay. Ofc his route should have some benefits (he promised a bike so that could help outside of family) but It's hard to say about something that doesn't exist in a first place. 100% he was implemented poorly. I've played hundereds of VNs but that's the only one I know that has a route that won't be finished.Yeah, but again, the Eric stuff was so badly implemented in general from almost the very beginning that being on Patreon where you have to keep your fans at least marginally happy, it was set up to fail. Had the Eric friend route given some Netorase oppotunities where there was actual quid pro quo, then that could have helped, or had Eric not been a goddamned super-god with the entire family falling under his sway unless you played PERFECTLY, then that could have helped too. I still say, had Eric been in the game from Day 1, as a step-dad/boyfriend, a lot of grief could have been avoided.
Incest is a fine marketing tool. Or it was 1 year ago. Hard to judge anyone. DS gave up to pressure and BB now is an effect. Incest VN that pisses of incest fans with early Eric and mechanical relationships lacking of emotions and other people with destroyed premise of being a sandbox and competition. In my opinion if he didn't use incest setting everything would be much easier for him and players and he would achieve success as well since most people play games that look nice and feel complex and not any particular fetish.I mean a lot of it can just be summed up simply as darksilver ended up making an incest game after original plot plan was shit on by patrons, when dev obviously isn't into the idea of making an incest game.
It'd be like a game developer making an RPG when they hate RPGs.
