I think the problem with the pace (which I still think is ok personally), is how a bit reluctant she seems at first to do wild stuff.I won't bother with MNG since it's kinetic.
I liked Moonripple Lake. But a few things stand out to me. - I think the pace is a little too quick, MC went from 0 to 100 on what he wanted his gf to do. I don't need a slow burn but I think it follows a pattern of quite a few NTS games and accelerates too quickly. I also think it needs more choices. Also the beach scene with the bully was a little overdone, IMO. I could have done without the non-consensual stuff that happens to the gf. But I think for AI graphics it is done quite well. It's the first AI AVN I have felt was worth playing.
As for the permission thing you mention, I much prefer it this way. To have a good open relationship, you need to have open communication. She did do something with the cop near the end without checking with him beforehand. More of something like that would be ok. You also get a choice on having her do something with Skeeter without the MC knowing.
Regarding my issue, it's not just asking for permission (even if I find it repetitive honestly). It's how everything is made only to fit mc's needs. For example it's mentioned a bit too much to my taste how what excites her is... the fact mc is excited. I prefer when the girl already knows she enjoys that stuff herself, but still respects her relationship thus the mc. A balance between those aspects. But you're right to a degree. In particular 2 things:
1. it's indeed not really so prevalent in Moonlike Ripple, I'm just complaining for very little here because I've seen worse of that trend in other games.
2. I'm in the minority anyway (at least in the nts thread). I sometimes like being on a fine line just before ntr, without reaching it. I like the thrill of being on edge in games, even doubting sometimes. Not controlling everything, being surprised.
That being said, that cop probably didn't do much, she mentioned she exagerated the story to make more exciting for mc.
But I forgot Skeeter yeah, even if she just let it happen in the heat of the moment.
