As my review suggests, I love what I've seen so far.
Tho I gotta agree that Lucas is a pretty pointless antagonist so far (the only interesting thing about him is that he knows about the MC and D's relationship but as he is seen as a rapist madman it doesn't do much).
The emotional immersion so far is absolutely top notch. I have to admit, I'm an emotional person, so it might be easy to get to me with such topics, but still, I'm grateful for the quality of the writing. As many of us here, I was just looking for a nice fap material but the story got me so involved I cared much less about the lewd than about F & D's misadventures.
The way that both character's faults, and past makes them desperate. It's not just throwing together the taboo topics and two semi-interesting characters. Their love develops for a reason and if you're a bit open-minded on the topic you can even sympathise with them, because the other person is really what they need.
I won't even go into how much I love D's character, and how it develops. Although there's the "corruption" level, the story doesn't really make it seem like F is actually corrupting her. I mean sure, D loses her innocence, and changes a lot, and grows as a person. But for me it feels like F does all this because he truly loves her and is just trying to help her overcome her shyness, her insecurity and so on.
The only aspect where I'd argue it truly is corruption, is turning her into an exhibitionist - to a point it's okay, but I feel like it's borderline abusing her insecurities and pushing her to act the opposite way.
Currently I feel like there's about 4 ways this could develop. I'm only making my own theories, as all I know about future updates is what I've read from
@Jeff Steel's comments on the last few pages.
- True corruption. F sees how D changed since they met, and something clicks in him. His "love" turns more into a weird fetish (yeah, we could argue it already is, but I truly feel like currently it's really more about love than corruption). He tries even harder to make D do things he enjoys seeing, doing with her, and he basically turns D into his plaything.
- Polygamy or polyamoria based "harem". F's affairs with Jenn, Elena, Martin, Georgina and so on finally see sunlight and slowly D accepts it and as she's exploring her sexuality she accepts the fact that it is possible to have sex with other people while you're in love with your partner (F in this case). Or on the polyamoria path, it's more like the characters develop deeper feelings for each other and they get on with having multiple lovers.
- Monogamy path. On this one, after D finds out about F's other affairs she becomes jealous, and mad, and F has to make a choice. Of course if F's been loyal this would play out differently, but it'd focus mainly on the relationship between the two of them, and perhaps some jealousy and intrigue from the other characters.
This could end up in their forbidden marriage even.
- D's discovery of self. Over the next couple of weeks D becomes more and more confident about herself, thanks to F's encouragements and as she discovers her own needs and fantasies she could also realize that she felt that way for F because he was the only person that gave her the feeling of security and made her feel being loved. She could slowly start experimenting and could even find her special one.
I know this one is a bit dark, but kind of a realistic outcome as well, as even she mentioned that perhaps the thing between F and her would only continue until she finds her own "real love".
On a side note, I would love to see the possibility for her to find another career instead of modelling, as she mentioned painting for example during the museum visit. I know modelling can be used perfectly as a corruption tool (perfect fit for my 1st point above), but having the option to not to do so, and have another alternative instead of just missing out on some content would be awesome.
I'm just throwing some ideas at the wall and see what sticks, and also create some discussion (or perhaps give some creative boost for our dear writers
), so feel free to add your own thoughts.
And once again, a big thank you for all the developers and all the people who made this experience possible! I hope we can see a lot more to come.
