VN Ren'Py Cosy Cafe [v0.11] [Cosy Creator]

[shitass1001]

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.

 

[Lurker452]

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.

 

[Thunderator]

Contrary to a lot of people that don't like her, I do like the teacher appearance and shyness (although I think it's too much for someone who wanted to be a teacher and went through years of college to be one). But I agree with most that the subway things are too much, I feel like it's a bit out of character for the MC to do that.

Perhaps if the MC had saved her and she saw it was him right at the scene things would be different, nothing would happen or perhaps it would, but I think if we went with the "fell in love because her prince saved her" would be really shit and I really don't want that from a game I like the story a lot. You could point and say that MC "saved" Sarah, but they already had their bickerings that made them close, or you could say MC "saved" Lucy from her abusive mother, but her shyness and sweetness captivated the MC and they bonded with each other before, like when cleaning the Café at the start. It's not JUST the "prince saved her" trope for either of them and that's very nice compared to lots of media (not just porn games) that do that.

What I do want to see though is her being introduced to the house, I really really want to see how the interaction between the girls and her would go. I imagine that she would feel super embarassed with Hannah there (cuz she is all rich and all that), but if it was just Lucy and Victoria both of them would probably embrace her. I wanted to see if Victoria would make fun of her and she would get hurt (like it happened with Sarah in specific scene). But I also want to see her grow a pair of balls and personality with MC (and her sister-wives) help and for her to grow out of her shell, kinda like how MC was there for Akatsuki and she now speaks more and more, even if bits by bits (I love that btw, her talking is a lot better than just little squirms and gestures)

Sorry for the big text, but I always wanted to talk about her. Have a as an apology

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.

Same. I hate her as the concept of a person, but I like her as an antagonist. She's one of the few that call out the admittedly weird web of relationships developing around the MC before his heritage starts to justify it in-universe, and she continues to hold to her principles afterward. She's a pain in the protagonists' ass, nosy, delusional... and that's why it's so satisfying to see people put her in her place and enjoy those moments when the MC utterly disarms her. I find her more interesting as an antagonist than the stereotypical "rich asshole kids from a rival clique" that make up the rest of our opposition at school.

It's going to be interesting to see what kind of past trauma justifies her irrational and obsessive behaviour. Also, while the MC has been very patient and nurturing so far, I wonder if he's going to be more coercive with her considering the extremes she is willing to go to and their strong enmity. Even Catherine is being progressively bent to his will, but Rachel seems like someone who would require breaking first if she's going to become a love interest.

Being new to the game I'm trusting those who have followed it for longer when it comes to her being worthwhile, aside from the "Master" stuff which I never like, I am enjoying it. Lucy is too pure for this world, haha.

But MC is the Master of the girls. The way to officially get in his harem is him collaring the girls and they have to wear it everywhere both private and public. It is just symbolism that these girls are now his 'property'.
Hell He even says that he is going to continue to see different girls and continue to expand his harem but the girls are forbidden to look at another man except him.
I find it refreshing the mc is straight up declaring he is making a harem instead of dilly-dallying it until the end like other harem vns

You could make the exact same argument about wedding rings, really. What are they if not a symbol of essentially "owning" the sole rights to another person's intimacy and love?

Hell He even says that he is going to continue to see different girls and continue to expand his harem but the girls are forbidden to look at another man except him.

I don't recall the MC ever making any kind of demand like that. I remember him making a point of how important it is to him, but admittedly I'm not 100% certain. It was a while ago I played through the earlier parts of the story.

I won't deny that I too find the MC to be uncommonly (and definitely refreshingly) candid about his wishes, but I feel it's worth pointing out that there's a huge leap from being controlling and demanding, to just being generally dominant. And for whatever it's worth, the MC in this game is definitely more leaning towards the latter.

I can confirm that he does, more than once if I recall correctly. At least one was with Lucy before committing to a relationship with her. Day 10 at night, "Are you sure about this, Lucy? It's not like it would be a two way street, I'd never be okay with you being with another guy." I feel like he makes a similar disclosure with Victoria and/or others, and they talk at least once about how many girls he intends to add to his collection (probably when it comes to the issue of sharing the bed). He's not as ridiculous with it as saying they can't "look at another man", but he does require exclusivity from them.

Look like the servant girls from the Founding Families council meeting at the Hamilton's with Akatsuki jerking him off.

She was a servant at the Hamilton party, and then again at the Founding Council.

There was a reason i didn't post all of them, first to maybe convince some of the users to start supporting Cosy and second to get them time for guessing until revealing all the girls.

Seeing Sam like that wishes she was an LI, along with Phone Store Girl and the other waitress at Wong's. The three of them together; YUMMY!

It is a beautiful set of renders and Sam is looking Very good!

Sarah's sister looks good, but we all know she is currently a scorpion, and petting will invite a nasty sting!

Until/unless there is a way to remove the poisonous stinger, better to keep her at more than arm's length.

(And Akatsuki is looking great with the red handprint on her backside )

Cheers!!

Is that Akatsuki or Akari? The render was supposed to be outside the core girls. So no one that the MC was with.

Akari usually has her hair up. If you look close, the black hair is down, meaning the Kitten
