The thing is, the more miserable everything is, the more impactful are those rare rays of light. Like the Christmas scene, there isn't much there, but it feels so good to see something positive in the Orphanage.
This! It's all about the right balance of the two. Unbalance and on one hand, there's just not enough that an MC would find worth continuously suffering for, and on the other hand, for such a dark premise to begin with, there can't be too much hope either, needing practically miracles to see streams of positivity back to back (literally?) instead of in intervals or so.
Quite interesting that in this misery rape-town simulator that was clearly designed to be this way, people still want and hope for wholesome and good outcomes.
It's human nature I guess... to hope and dream for a better future, even if it's in a digital and made-up world like DoL.
I mean.. You said it, this is a simulation game, You can simulate it however you want and "hope" that the outcome is atleast close to how you want it to be (for the better or worse).
You can choose to be addicted to a rape, a professional whore, a pokemon fucker, a religious buttslut, or maybe you want to be an Angel on this rapey town (literally).
Even tho achieving 1 is might be harder than the others.
Which was exactly my point. Yes it is a simulation, but like any other it has constraints and limitations that guide its main purpose, which in this case is to struggle as an orphan being abused in a lewd town.
Picture this: in a flight simulator you can't play as a truck driver or a ship cruiser captain even tough there is a lot of land/cities and sea there, you can only play as a host of things that are related to flying like maybe a jet fighter shooting rockets or a balloon (maybe modded lol?), which may or may not be "better or worse" than the main purpose of driving comercial planes, but still, the limit and core purpose as designed by the creator of this particular simulation is very clear: it's flying around.
What I said in my original comment is that I find interesting to read some people more or less wishing that in this flight simulator you could drive a truck around. I just thought it was an interesting observation is all.

DoL doesn't have any limitations when it comes to non-combat events, because it's a text-based RPG with a core theme of getting abused like an underdog and pushing through despite that. You have skills, traits, even a personality system. I just want more events with named NPCs, it's nothing out of the ordinary. Your comparison of story and game mechanics to various simulators is laughable.
You're supposed to be there to fight off the attack on the farm. You're told when the attack is coming, both after the last one and in the journal in the sidebar.
Oh, I know that, and I was there. But I never managed to stop an attack with a handful of fields to cover.
Plus, if that's the case, what is the stupid thread level stat even for? The farm was, according to the data, under the least amount of threat possible, yet the attack happened.

That's not really an apt comparison. Maybe, stricking close to your analogy, it's a flight crash simulator where people want to be able to land successfully, if they tried hard enough. Is that really so much to ask?

Yeah, I just wanted to write:
It's a flight fimulator were you always have to little fuel, everything is failing. You are supposed to crash.
But still everyone will try to make a decent emergency landing.
But in DoL you can not really win or lose. So it's also not a good comparison.
Life in Lewdville is supposed to be miserable for the MC. The point of the game is to learn to manage the misery. Find a way between the seemingly ordinary life and the depraved dark side of the town.

I think You missed your own point there, flying simulator IS restricted to fly a plane (well.. Maybe UFO, or a flying robot too if there's any), but DoL doesn't restrict their player to get raped everyday since it's not a rape or miserable life simulator..
But I get your point, some people doesn't like when things get sideway since it's kinda difficult to control in this game..
Hell even myself get terribly annoyed because of my own mistake giving my first kiss to some sHygIrL since I was "hoping" to give it to Sydney..
Nobody? Aight, I guess I'll start over then, It's killing me.. Goodbye December 1st

NEVERMIND!!!!! after 2 days of searching I FINALLY found the holy Variable!! WOOOOOOOOO!!!
Guess fuckin what? a day or two after I reset the value, my first kiss is snatched away by this FUCKIN IVORY WRATH!! I decided to fuck it and let it stay since this one isn't because of a stupid reason.. (well kinda, if you don't consider the getting kidnapped by a hot ghost lady teleporting you from the farm to the lake using a mirror part )
There goes 2 days of searching...
Indeed, I never knew there's even a dam- handholding virginity.
Next thing I'll be waiting for is that Eyes virginity when they make a custom start of a purely innocent character where we never watched porn in our whole life or just straight up never seen a genital of another gender or see anything sexual related.

Guess where I found out such stat exist? When there's this little dog barking at me and I decided to choose the "give paw" option and it tells me that my handholding virginity has been taken away, and I looked for it and found that my handholding virginity is taken by a little dog!
and I decided to loadscum my game

Personally if it's not because of my own stupidity, I'd allow it, but somehow I manage to keep my handholding away from the perverts since I mostly try to give them a rub instead forcing it, either using my thigh, or feet (mostly thigh) and keep my hand behind my head.. Now after I gave it to Robin, I'm more free to stroke them or fight them if I think I can overpower it.

I haven't encountered many fights that takes your hand so I don't know many things about handholding shenanigans.
Best way to end fights is still sucking the breast after apologizing then end it in one damage turn by biting it. It also one-shots groups like the one where you go to the underground brothel, FOUR people went into recoil after that~~~
