VN Ren'Py Crimson High [v0.38.1] [Vertigo]

[TheDick69+]

I'm in the same boat. I was already rolling my eyes when Miri came back into the story and then Orianna became a major focus. But I think there's now like three different groups of academy student side characters outside the main class (not even counting the SECs members), plus day 11 being so overstuffed also included the introductions of at least two new side characters (stalker girl + Emica) and spent time on convenience store girl, and Emma. And the MC just made plans to schedule a date with Inayawin???

Poor Miko, Kana, and Kagome feel like afterthoughts. Nene and Nagisa may as well not exist. I don't know when we'll get to the fun (and frankly quite compelling) Aki and Yui storyline. It already looks like Yukari is being sidelined for Emma.

I appreciate the deliberate pace of character development and various slice of life aspects mixed with higher-stakes plot stuff and mystery building, but there's just too many characters to see it ever going anywhere rewarding, even with regular/frequent updates. Dev time aside it just feels like too much to stay coherent.

There was a reason that I stopped playing a certain game, maybe the most popular, because nothing happend but a lot of new characters come and went and still do so. This game is going in that direction, so maybe my 5* rating will be an 1* instead. No more girls now!!!!!! I know we can say no, but still it means that the story is developed and take time from them I want to go on with.

When he took out that bottle from within the space with that "holy cross"...I thought the hell will brake loose after she drink it since it's a bottle of "holy" water now, time flow stopped or not.
And WTF are they so tardy about having sex if it's actually something that is not just for pleasure anymore but a thing that needs to be done? There is a whole ass hotel, book another room there and do the deed ffs.
But I guess they needed to...walk around the beach? On the bright side our dude can now fuck a deer by turning it into a table, that's a win.

We can ?
I tried to reject Kana as well as June, with no luck, same for that catgirl (Mana, i think) rejected her only to be forced in a sex scene with her later on anyway.

But yeah, the last thing this game needs is more girls.

As far as I'm aware any girl who was on the main cast list before the character menu got remade is going to be non avoidable. So basically the whole class and Ori.
Other than that I'm not sure who will or won't be.

 

[slothen29]

If you're trying to reject Mana and Kana why are you even playing ?

You monster.

Because i don't like them and find them quite annoying, same for June, i also don't play get them all and hate forced LI's ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Suzu, Miko, Miri, Aki and Yui are the only ones i really like so far.

This moment kinda pissed me off. It was a total moment where the dev said "oh you players want some really steamy hardcore action? Let me tease it to you. But...ah...the actual scene won't be available for another 5 years."

You're barking up the wrong tree here. I know you didn't like, ask my opinion or anything, but this kinda crosses the line from legitimate criticism into a preference issue. This is pretty much a linear VN where the choices don't actually have story repercussions, and seems to be driving toward a core cast harem that can't reasonably tell the story it wants to tell while making romance with those core characters optional.

 

[Dwarin]

I swear this is the F95 curse for games that start becoming popular: endlessly growing lists of love interests that bury the plot and smother earlier characters arcs.

Also a very light novel plot trend where the MC picks up new women every time he gains a bit of power and pretty much forgets about the lengthening list of women he leaves behind.

Anyways... The important question about the most recent update as I haven't gotten to playing it yet (as I just saw it and need to leave for work soon) is: how strong is the cliffhanger-fu in this update?

There was this girl in last that wanted us to objectify her and I didn't want that. But you may be right, there propbably be scenes with her without that.

 

[hornydrifter]

All I know is that if I don't get to go balls-deep in Jun soon, I may go insane.

 

[TKdropemoff]

this the type of game you legit HAVE to skip updates, or wait till completion sadly.

 

[arkc]

I'm convinced the MC will never actually have sex with any of the main love interests, especially considering Miri is now relegated to the "Misc." gallery screen.

Bro's already had sex with Mana though?

Only because of the strange, control-reducing circumstances. If the MC wasn't being compelled to do it because of magic, it never would've happened.

I would not have called it magic per se.
Not sure what I would have called it, though.
I'd agree to an extend.

But Mana flirted relentlessly with MC almost from the start, so before long it actually was bound to happen.
If not in that case there little kitty cat would have kidnapped MC and invited his dick for a ... riding session in the gym backroom.

Regardless of age, race or profession every single woman MC meets wants to fuck him.
Most of them the fun way ...

The vampire girlies are aware of the risks they hear in their education, but as soon as it is confirmed MC is not turning into a ghoul and the truth about vampires having sex with humans do not go vegetable mode MC will be swarmed by one or three whole vampire clans ...

 

[Ven95]

I actually like this game, not for the porn actually, the story is nice. As some folks here already pointed out at this point it feels like the story is not moving, we have way to many girls, I'm starting to get problems to remember all of them whenever a new version arrives, and that's not a good sign.

Is this one of those games that keeps introducing new characters so you have to play through no-sex blue balls hell over and over and over again and they come along basically as soon as you think you might get somewhere finally with one of the earlier characters but each girl basically gets ignored as soon as you get a little tease from them?

Yes
