Sounds like possible routes.The plot of the game seems to have already spun to the maximum! Now Anna is not only looking at Alan with loving eyes, but also twirling her ass in front of him and even showed off her body in the shower. But should we take a swing at a new level of destruction, for example, let's Mr. Brown demand that Clara break up with her boyfriend! Leon will convince Alan that Clara can only be saved if Alan starts dating Anna! Like Clara and Alan have nothing in common! Anna will certainly take advantage of the situation: kisses and hugs in public! Living together, drinking hot drinks and other means of rapprochement! True love, of course, can win in many situations, but only when the spouses act in unison and fully trust each other. But if Clara sleeps with Brown regularly, and Alan accepts Anna's courtship, then at the end of the game everyone can only do work and look for a "mole"! The end of the story is quite hot, but also dramatic! At least Alan will stay alive, with coffee and a woman!
To make the time pass faster before the next update, you can make a forecast of the development of events! So far, there are two options for Clara. In any case, Clara will have to prove her loyalty to Mr. Brown every new day! In the first case, Clara is already sexually involved with Mr. Brown and Brown would like to tame Clara completely! In the second case, Clara bought off dirt on the first day, but the second day is ahead and then constant communication with the Brown family. Something hot is going to happen anyway! And most likely, Mr. Brown will not want to share Clara with his boyfriend. There will be other scenarios, but Mr. Brown is the last boss and he will definitely be present! But in any case, these will be combinations of Alan and Clara's bundles with each other and with other characters! We are waiting and hoping that everything will be fine...
I think providing one teaser from upcoming update would be good.
Yes, and stories, unless they are works of noted literature, usually have inconsistencies in them. Now, one can argue the Leon scene should’ve come later, but you are disregarding the fact that this is a story about corruption and sex. You would like the corruption to be slower. Ok, cool. A lot of supporters were clamoring for the opposite. As I have stated numerous times on this platform, it is a fine line for the Dev in corruption stories as to when to “pull the trigger.” No one is ever happy. While you wish for the corruption to be slower, many do not. What I appreciate about this Dev is how he reveals the inner turmoil of the female. There is regret, disbelief and shame. Not many corruption stories I can think of adequately explore these emotions.
It’s never the “right time” in corruption stories. Either it happens to soon or to late - no one is ever happy. At least that is my take on it as I’ve stated numerous times on this platform. Dev is always in a no win situation. Instead, I look at the totality of the work. I appreciate the inner dialogue - the conveyance of shame, regret and disbelief. While we can argue about inconsistencies and actions taken to soon, the emotions the Dev brings into this work is a rarity in my opinion. Let us not fool ourselves, it is a porn VN. I think it quite well done, inconsistencies and all.
While it's true a dev is always in a "spot" for when it happens it should be beneficial to the story not because everyone just wants to see sex scenes which is usually the case. Unfortunately most corruption/netorare fans are only there to see the sex scenes, you could have a LI get touched one time and become a total slut and they'd be overcome with joy. the thing is and it's not a very popular line of thought amongst the players/readers is the dev needs to create the story the way they want to not just throw stuff in because people keep asking for it. Look at all the people asking about femdom recently. Enough pressure put on a dev usully means they will add a scene or something to appease the crowd but alot of times it will be inconsistant with the story or mess up the plotline. unfortunately most devs don't stick to their guns and will add what the supporters want to see instead of doing things their way. This game was advertised as a slowburn yet the cheating scene happens early on, not really a slowburn now is it? I understand devs change their minds about things but letting your followers/supporters decide what direction/should happen next usually ends up with a shit storyline as most only want the sex scenes and don't care if it ruins the story. As I said in my previous post you could make a game that is nothing but sex scenes and it would get alot of support from those same people since that's all they want anyways. At the end of the day it's the dev who has to decide if they want to keep true to their creation or just let others decide how it turns out.
Adult VN/Porn VN - huh, are there sex scenes with full nudity? Yes? Then it's porn, sorry to break it to you. Porn movies can actually have stories as well. Some of these Devs also do this to earn money, so engaging with their subs is a way to keep the interest and the support going. I suppose my quibble is that some try to finesse these Adult VNs (as you like to call them) as if they are high art. They are not. Some do weave stories in between the PORN scenes. Guess you could say the story drives the naughtiness - as it does in this VN. Yes, there are plenty of VNs where it is all a set up to get to the PORN. This is not one of them. We can debate whether the Leon scene arrived early or not, but it doesn't detract (in my view) the work of the Dev to insert emotion into his story.
I understand the need to engage the supporters but letting them decide what gets added/directions the story goes/etc can have negative effects on the story and the devs reputation. I forget what thread I was reading a while back where some guys told me about someone who was a top supporter of an up and coming game for a few months talked the dev into doing something that they knew would screw with the fanbase(put netorare into a harem game). Basically it caused 90% of the devs supporters to walk away from him and his game causing it to be abandoned and the dev to stop making games. The guy did it on purpose, don't know why, or if maybe the dev tried again under a different name. Not saying it will happen here or anywhere again but it's something to think about when you let others determine the storyline. Unfortunately we have people who do stuff like that and as I said others who just want to see what they want regardless of how it effects the storyline or game.
There was never a true faithful route included. There are only two active routes right now. Corruption and Penalty route as stated by the dev. I know you must have seen the early message by the dev in this thread where he mentioned a "Faithful" route. He clearly explained his idea of being "faithful" isn't through body but through heart. As long as Clara still loves Alan, she is "faithful" to him. It would seem like a twisted idea of being "Faithful" but it fits the narrative of a corruption game like this. So technically she can still be "faithful" as per the dev's idea and not succumb to the bad guys. The penalty path might lead to that "faithful" route.
If you notice all my faithful referring to this story have been in quotes, not once did I not place it in quotes showing I understood what the dev meant even if he can't or didn't articulate what he meant properly. The term he should have used instead of faithful was loyal. She can still be loyal to Alan even if she is unfaithful, not being able to articulate properly shows he still has much to learn about writing, I didn't say any of this before as it would seem I'm trying to attack him or his abilities. Instead I was pointing out the flaws in what he wrote and how he tried to describe things.
Dude, the dev isn't strictly connecting 'faithful' with the whole one-man-woman dictionary meaning. He could just be trying to show how messy and complicated relationships can get, particularly in the kind of game we are playing. So no need to lock it down to just 'loyal' and attacking how the dev writes his game just cause you didn't or can't understand his point. I and so many others here have did based on our discussions before and after you showed up here.
Most of the things you stated are correct, and yes Dev has changed the main settings of the story on several occasions. First, he put that NTR could be avoided, and then he deleted it after a month or two. Then he explained that there would be a possibility for Clara to remain faithful (not to have sex with others), and he deleted that as well. Then he explained that she would remain faithful and she would not be emotionally attached to others (but she will definitely have sex with others), but now she is emotionally attached to Leon (regardless of which "route" is chosen)... And worst of all, he made it so that regardless of which option you choose, it will always end the same way - he made every decision meaningless. He should have said at the beginning that it is a VIDEO NOVEL, not a GAME.
If you don't use the definition of the word then it no longer has the same meaning. There is a reason we have definitions for words. If not then you can say any word means whatever you want it to mean, such as cat is now a dog, love is now hate, car means sex. If you literally define the word unfaithful(broke his faith), you can't then go and say that person is still faithful because they are not, they can be still loyal but not faithful. Now if Alan had agreed to Clara sleeping/doing sexual stuff with other men then yes she could still be faithful as she wouldn't have broke his faith. So any criticism of the devs work is an attack now to you. I also said one of the reasons I didn't bring up the improper articulation was I didn't want to seem like I am attacking the dev. Simple fact is words have meanings for a reason, so that everyone knows what is being said.
There is a reason it's called a "faithful" route to have righteous/"faithful" choices. It would make it easier for some to forgive but that's where the corruption part comes in. What happens when she gets to where she enjoys it does she go that extra mile to make sure sex happens or becomes even sluttier during the scenes becoming more and more depraved. That's what your not looking at and that's where the corruption comes into play. Choice: do I just flirt/tease this guy to get access to somewhere or do I bang the shit out of him to get the same thing? Flirting/teasing doesn't work so seduction is now the only way but the corruption points would be awarded differently depending on original choice. So you can see where enough corruption and she would just start going straight to the sexual stuff over trying to remain "faithful" That complicated decision your talking about would come from Alan finding out she is doing a sexual path and enjoying the sex(the point of the corruption) rather than she just bangs out his enemy for the sake of NTR(typical trope).
What I was talking and asking about with the corruption is how is anything supposed to change the ending if there is nothing tying her to the MC she is either emotionally corrupted, leaves him for another, or physically corrupted where she leaves him because she enjoys sex with everyone but him. The only thing to "save" the marriage is a cuck/simp option to stay while she is still banging other people. That's why I started asking about how things were going corruption wise. If you only have 3 basic options for an ending- MC failure, MC revenge and MC stays married there isn't alot of option to change things other than the characters involved. All of that makes it pretty much a typical trope netorare game. I was looking for a story that wasn't bogged down with tropes and broke out of the normal shell of netorare, The dev pushes how choices matter and can save the marriage when in actuality they don't matter other than changing which characters "stay or go". I think more people are interested in X than the actual story. They want to know the who/why about x, screw the couple and their issues(other than the sex scenes) or how they get resolved.
This is your opinion and your entitled to it, others will have different opinions. The dev has as a path save the marriage but as many have already stated he gives no reason to try to save the marriage. They had problems before the mission and now with the mission those problems have gotten worse along with Clara's cheating. I'm not seeing alot of "love" between the couple. I mean you see Alan doing things to try to help Clara and make things better for them but not much on the flip side other than I'm doing this because someone threatened to kill my husband if I don't and starting to blame/hate him for everything that's happening. No real affection on Clara's side other than her internal monologue of "I still love Alan". I am waiting to see how it ends mainly because I'm curious about X, don't really care about the marriage as I have been given no reason to care about it.
If you don't like this particular game, then there are a lot of other games on the Internet! Please have fun in other places, and do not arrange dancing on the bones here! I personally like the game and I also think the game developer decides for himself what to do and how to do it! As for the different popularity charts, it is common practice when seasonal jumps occur before an update...
Your base error is assuming that there is only one definition of emotional concepts when there are as many different definitions as there are people in the world. You can not define love for anyone else, nor can anyone else define it for you. Loyalty and faithful are the same way. Only the extremely self-focused truly believe that their definition is the right one on any matter.
