VN Ren'Py Crimson High [v0.42.1] [Vertigo]

[destrendi]

Well, to be honest, this game has way too many characters (like a hundred or so), and I have a hard time remembering their names. That’s also why the story feels too long because every character gets their own spotlight. I appreciate your writing, but honestly, it’s the large number of characters that made me feel bored and made it hard for me to remember them.

Just finished the scene with Aya and Yui-is that the last spicy scene so far or just the last one in the gallery thing? If so, how much more story is left?

On a related note-since I last played this game over a year ago to let content build up and am doing a full replay now-it feels like I'm having a sort of dissonance in my memory about when I stopped in the story because-if I'm as close to the end of content as I think-it really seems like only a few scenes have been added since then and even with how long-winded the narration can be not much has happened and it's kinda high-key got me questioning my memory

How I see it....

Well considering the lore the game has for vampires, it would kind of make sense that Kagome is a bit more accepting, as are some of the other vampires. Okami makes sense too considering. In the end, different cultures have different views on relationships, seems "mythkind" is of no exception.

I mean most vampires assume they will have to stick with women to avoid the risk of going crazy or ghoulification, so not really far fetched to believe some vampires would be fine with sharing a man. Kana and Kagome see the MC as completely different. This whole time, Kagome didn't even think she could be with the MC because of Kana and vampirism, now she sees it as possible and now she is going to think about it. Though it will still no doubt depend on Kana.

Poly relationships, harems, and thruples exist in the real world. If a prince from some shit hole country can have a harem, I am sure that a Demi-god that is immune to vampirism (probably won't need the meds) will have no trouble getting one.

Kana on the other hand, even if MC didn't have a harem and was simply came back into her life and was dating another girl, she'd still be hurt because of the expectations she built for herself. If MC just simply rejected her and there was no one else, she would still be devasted because of the pedestal she put him on. There was no way to avoid hurting her unless MC simply chose to be with her exclusively, but even then, even if he was 100% loyal, she would still be jealous and it would eat at her.

It was less about the relationships per se and more about how the MC's dialogue making him come off a scumbag just trying to get all the girls. Nothing that was said sounded any bit convincing that he loved anyone besides maybe Suzu. The rest were just notches on a belt that he desires. Basically a douche that desires all the women he finds attractive, with a heart of gold. Which is even weirder.

Yeah that last scene was a shit show. He could have structured telling her 1000x better. But, MC is kinda a idiot about anything relationship related. I'm mad at him. He lets kana think to much when he's not done talking. He should have held her. Waaag!

Fair enough, I was focused on why they would accept it and less how he said it. I don't know how he could have phrased it with Kana to avoid upsetting her, I think she built him up so much that if he returned to her life and was say married to Miri, she would have still been heartbroken and upset with him. He could've done a better job though. I mean maybe don't take her on a date to tell her, just ask if he can come over to explain things. A safer environment and not public, nor would he have led her on.

I don't have an issue with Kagome accepting it, as I have said, but I agree that he did come off as a douche. Although I can see it as him getting a big head with all these women being after him and having a cult worshiping him. He could be getting full of himself and needs someone to bring him back to earth or whatever.

Eh it would be easier to explain if he wasn't going after half of Japan though

To be quite fair to him, he's been dealing with quit a bit himself over the past couple of days, and doesn't understand half of it. I mean, first he finds out he's some kind of prophet or demigod whose existence has been prophesized for at least the past couple hundred years, while at the same time learning that all manner of creatures that he thought were just found in myths and fairy tails, some in bad hentai manga are real? Furthermore, the kids he used to babysit are lesbian (bisexual maybe) vampires, with telepathic abilities? Well that takes some getting used to. Then one of his students, a sexy little minx of a vampire tries to come onto him, fully expecting to turn him into some undead ghoul or thrall, only for him to end up spiritually married to another vampire girl, and now he's being encouraged to build up a harem of girls by other, equally ancient vampire girls?

How WOULD you explain that tactfully? If we're being perfectly honest here, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that he's having a hard time explaining it to people outside of things. Kana's reaction there, and the statement by the unknown person that it could have gone better, is perfectly reasonable.

Kana comes off as being slightly Yandere in behavior, but not in a bad way specifically. (hear me out here). She's written like someone who, for quite some time, had a serious crush on the MC. Likely she's had various detailed (and lewd) fantasies about a life with the MC... only to lose that when she was turned into a vampire. Kagome likely had those same fantasies as well, but not as bad as Kana did. Hence why she has a better reaction to what's going on. So when the MC suddenly reappears in her life (unlife? sorry, vampire joke that) again, and reveals he can somehow hear her thoughts? Well, that's playing right into one of her past fantasies, and it sure as hell isn't helping her deal with everything well.

Latest update bugged me a little

"Shall we 69?"

"Yes!!"

*No 69*

I like this game, but...false advertising, AND we need more variety!
