Well, well,well.. was this a disappointing update for us "pervs" who hoped to see at least some sharing here? Yes , of course!
BUT BUT BUT... I think I understand WHY Mr Dots took this road. I will try to explain ..
As many of us noticed before, the "D only" route should have ended at the end of Ch2. With a nice "D only" ending (like the one we just got now). It didn't end at THAT Time! During the whole Ch3 Mr. Dots kept trying (without success) to combine the "D only" and the "D sharing" routes in order to satisfy both types of fans of this game. He FAILED! Which is no wonder knowing how much hate and lack of understanding there is between the fans of these 2 so different possible developments.
Before this last update , Mr Dots had in fact only 2 choices: 1 - to go full "sharing" already in Ch 3 and lose this way ALL the "kids" who can not even think of D having any kind of interaction with any other man or 2 - to do what he just did giving us (finally) a POSSIBLE end of the "D only" route, without expanding the "D sharing" route FOR THE MOMENT.
If he would have chosen the first option then D should have wan the competition (for which, if you remember, there were a few options in the past, but those were now forgotten) and go full and hard porn at/or by the model of that sex party after the competition. That would have scared all the "D only" fans who would have all left in mass.
With such a development at THIS time it would have been clear for everybody what we should expect to see in Ch4.. Full perv seuxal promiscuity as it is the case it the fashion industry in real life and as we saw in a few pictures by that party. Would that have been interesting for us pervs? Yes, BUT really.. very "out of concept" of this novel even for us! After all this whole story is about LOVE.. (and SHARE while still loving, if possible.. in the future
So if you ask me, Mr. Dot's decision for option 2 was the most .. "wise" at this time. Because:
- It finally gave a good, even if still "probably not final" ending to the "D only" route. D and F live together in their own house, love and happiness is in the air, D got a dog! and she is even ..
. What better ending could the "kids" hope for?
- The D only route is now DONE! Or.. is it? Hmmmm good question. It was always clear that the fans of "D only" while being so strict about D having even the thought or the dream of a possible relation with another man, they never had a problem with F's relations with other girls, not even when those other girls ended up (or in some cases started by) having also relations with D!
- So THAT kind of sharing (sharing the father) seems to be OK with both categories of fans! Maybe a little too much for the "kids" (but just a little) maybe a little too little for the pervs like me .. but for all: ACCEPTABLE! And THIS is the main reason for which Mr. Dots chose this development. He still wants to keep BOTH groups of fans. Should we wonder that he wants that? It's a bunch of money at stake, isn't it?
- So he took much care over the last few updates in developing the F + D + Georgina - 3some - polyamory route (which i personally like the most from all possible "triangles") without closing the doors to other possible triangles like D + E + J for instance or who knows, maybe even a combination of these 2 (difficult but not impossible).
-It is most probable that the "D only" route will develop in this direction, that of 1 or more "mini harems" where D will no longer be the only one WOMAN for F but .. F will still remain the only one MAN for D. So the "kids" can still enjoy the story and not leave.
- OK but how about us, the old pervs? I can also see 2 possible choices here:
1 - the next update (last for this year and for Ch3) which is by default meant to "complete" the missing parts, could find a way to redo the competition or to cancel for some reason it's results, declaring D as winner, in which case what could follow in terms of "sharing" might be even more than what we, the pervs, could dream: TOTAL PERVESION
As it is normal in real life in this industry. On a VERY separate path , of course!
or
2 - and I think this will be the dev's final choice: leave it as is with this "temp" ending and then, in Ch4 slowly bring in the "swinging" as a component of the relationships whereby Graham and Olivia would be essential for this direction, mostly now when both O and D are..
- After all, swinging is not very usual at the age of 18, nor is an "open relationship" very popular in real world at that age, so .. I would even expect to see something like "A few years later" at the beginning of Ch4. Then some other couples could participate or there may be a swingers club in the near so that also the possibility of D interacting with other men alone remains open. Maybe even Martin could get a second chance at that time.. And/Or Ryan after he traveled the world long enough.. And let's not forget that the interactions with Sunshine Love through Georgina, which i mentioned in a previous post, became even more obvious this time..
But all these only if the 2 basic paths will be clearly and without doubt SEPARATED.
And I would bet this is the direction that Mr. Dots has chosen and this is what we should expect for the future, seeing what choices he made along the last few updates of Ch3. So , disappointing update ? YES but.. necessary
