Glad you guys see the potential with Rachel. Some people have taken her far more seriously than I expected
Nah, she's literally fits in the unwanted character part
i still dont get why would anyone like a Karen
or in this case, le potential Mayadere Karen
well, she's still acceptable if MC gets to train her into a mesubuta, or else her personality are just plain annoying for general taste
she is the parody of a femminist, an expected but good twist(for me at least), would be that she is into rape roleplay, or actually secretly like to act like a traditional wife, just she is too proud to admit it.
see, that's all her worth
just spare us for usual cliché where MC somehow or somewhat saved her
and suddenly her love blossoms, because that's the worse and poor story for someone like Rachel
the only way this will work is for Himedere and only Himedere
I agree, there are already too many games with similar background or plots and most of them pretty much sucks.
This games doesn't need rape or more traumatic experience for characters to be interesting. As long as the plot is relatable and fun, then that all that matters. Tho, I don't care much about roleplay if Creator want to make rape roleplay it all fine but making a character actually get off from being raped won't go well with the settings and as you said make her undesirable.
i would say the game wont go bad with a dark subplot twist
in fact, it's much better since the MC himself is someone with a lot of hidden agenda himself
