You ruined Jun. This sucks.

Classic Jun ordering fucktons of illegal growth hormones from the hotel store

I love the game, but honestly, at this rate, I would rather wait 2-3 months per update over monthly if this is what we are going to be getting. Last two updates took place in the same day in the game, no progression, and right now it has become basically a visual novel with no choices. Honestly I can't find a reasonable excuse for this, there are other games with monthly updates with more progression, and a few games that sometimes does two updates in a month with.

There is plenty of lovely, unique, and interesting girls along with great story plot, but this is slowly turning me off, and I assume others might be feeling the same

That was a good talk with Aki.

Do people still get annoyed by the cliffhangers? I'm 5 deep and already don't care. Just kinda feel like "oh I guess we're done now" and that's it.

 

[Reb3l911]

Don't know what happened with this update. But, every time the MC checks messages or has a phone convo an error occurs. Also, the back ground on the phone doesn't show up when opened.

I mean we haven't really had a real cliffhanger in a while. There's no big tension like something could go either way, we just get cut off mid conversation.

I said the same thing to myself last month but so far I'm 0-1. I enjoyed this update but the game is great and also extremely frustrating.

I still feel extreme frustrating to be an understatement lol The story is actually very good imo, ton's of potential side plots, and it's just being wasted

There is no problem with cliffhangers in a "work in progress", since it is reasonable to expect they well be resolved next time and they exist to create tension. Cliffhangers are absolute inexcusable dogshit as a full ending though, and no, an open end is not the same as a cliffhanger.
The problem here is that the story is going nowhere, and has been treading ground for a while now.

I think the problem with the cliffhangers is they're overused here, and a lot less effective when the media resolves them slowly.

Cliffhangers are about tension and release. Have something shocking/unresolved happen before a break for tension, then come back and resolve it for a release. If you're just constantly doing them, then it's a lot harder to create tension because something shocking happening just becomes, "Oh I guess the update/episode's about to end. Yup." They lose their punch, and there's no tension, just normality.

Meanwhile, there's a reason book endings don't use cliffhangers too often: You can only be tense about media for so long, so if you're not doing a regular weekly/monthly schedule, it's a lot harder to have a release. You can get away with it with monthly releases too, but most of those monthly releases have an exact release date ahead of time, and generally are exactly a month. Meanwhile, while this game has a "monthly" release date, it's more of "month and a half-ish" release date that happens on a day you don't know ahead of time. Like, I'll be honest, I load my save after a new update and get a few lines in before I go, "Oh, wait, yeah, this is resolving that thing." So there's no release, because the player didn't have any tension remaining.

Add to that the fact that, as noted by someone else above, many of these cliffhangers are less cliffhangers and more awkward pauses in a conversation (Like the one previous to this update where Machi knocks on your door and there's nothing actually surprising about it, instead the update just annoyingly bisects the overall conversation you're having) and you have a recipe for how to misuse cliffhangers to remove any and all effect they could have.

I can't really say about the quality of this guy's cliffhangers since I only started playing from the previous update, I was speaking in a more generalized manner. Though I guess he could take a few pointers with how eternum and interim domain (as much as I think the latter is weak overall) do cliffhangers.

 

[darksouldrinker]

Sigh, more drawn out lack of progress and cock blocking. A quick blowjob and some boob groping is not an update. The author really feels like he's just dragging things out at this point and refusing to actually make headway on things. What did we actually learn this update? Nothing really. Ren told the girls he thinks sex might be okay and forgave them, but nothing really came of it excpet the usual teasing events that lead to nothing. I really enjoyed the beginning of this game, but of late it just doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Probably the best thing the Dev could do, don't get me wrong petite woman is fine but in a high-school setting it feels criminal, whenever Jun hugged the MC I would feel weird.

 

[Virulenz]

What a terrible cliffhanger, waking up to a nightmare and not knowing if he is still dreaming...at least i hope so, thats not a reality i want to wake up to, it just destroys anything.

Yeah I've been waiting since .28 I think and I haven't really felt the urge to download any updates based on the comments since. Bet I've missed like 3 hours of in game time anyway

Actually, the last 6 or 7 updates have been the same in game day. Might even be 8, not really sure at this point. Really liked this one when it came out, but now it just feels like everything is being dragged on and on just because the dev can. It kinda reminds me of an old joke:

"How do you keep an idiot in suspense?"

"I'll tell you later."
