VN Ren'Py Cosy Cafe [v0.10] [Cosy Creator]

I like Rachel, she is annoying, yes, but in my opinion she is annoying in a good way. I find her antics kinda funny, and she never really crossed any lines until a recent update. Also from a meta perspective her character adds a lot of good moments where the girls get to stand up for themselves and the MC. I have said this a few times already, if the other characters in the story took her seriously then she would be a far more annoying character.

I never read any of the things the MC does as rapey. He is a little creepy when he looks down Lucy's shirt when she specifically asked him not to (in the section where they clean the bathrooms), but I dont think that is really THAT bad when compared to a lot of other VN protagonists. Some of the stuff he does with Sarah might be bad, but my take as a reader was that the MC always knew when to stop, and he also would 100% stop if a girl said stop. In fact with the most masochistic of the girls he is still gentle with her when situation calls for it.
I just finished writing that section then I remembered the teacher and her story, I wasn't really a fan of her story (mainly because if she knew it was him then she wouldn't have been ok him doing that stuff) but as of recent updates I think its still a little creepy, but much less bad, just my take of course.

I am not really a fan of maledom stuff either, but for some reason with this VN it just works. The spanking is another thing I am not really into, but in this I like it. I think the reason for that is because the MC is (to me) a pretty good guy, he clearly cares about the girls and wants the best for them. I agree with Mark here, if the MC demeaned any of the girls then it would put a really sour taste in my mouth.

I'm here to call you all boring. The "Master" shit is great, so is the spanking and all the maledom aspects.

On top of me just personally enjoying these things however, they do actually make the MCs authority over his girls a bit more reasonable. One or two girls like Victoria that naturally fall into a very submissive role can be fun, but anymore and my already thinly held suspension of disbelief cracks.

Cosy has nicely skirted round this problem by putting the girls in situations and just generally an environment which encourages them to submit, in various different ways and degrees, to the MC.

This means that every girl has a line of logic, a progression of scenes you can follow, that explains their current submission to the MC.
It makes sense that Lucy behaves as she does because on Day 7 so and so happened, and how could Sarah not feel that way when on Day 18 this happened... and so on and so on.

Before you know it the MC has a harem of girls that look to him for guidance and affection, and despite how far fetched a scenario we are in it seems like a reasonable conclusion to all the events that preceded it.

And we have "Master", the spanking, the maledom aspects, to thank for that. The markers of the MC's authority built into the story from day one, which guided the narrative and the relationships into the place we all hold in such high regard today.

Certain fetishes cause a visceral reaction on some people, femdom and NTR game threads have some people losing their marbles over the content, I've seen the same thing happening in some harem threads so it's only natural one of the few maledom games in the site gets criticized.

I enjoy the maledom and agree it is key to the story.

I don't like the teacher, in part because she isn't my type, and in part because it is the one place I feel the MC goes over the line. Yeah, he goes into grey areas with some of the other girls but he's young and there's no BDSM academy he can go to. But the stuff on the train and the restroom, especially with his own teacher? He's just exploiting the situation, which makes it easy to see him as exploiting the other girls.

As mentioned before, I really wish the teacher content was avoidable/skipable. Love the rest of the story.
