I haven't played the latest update yet so I won't comment on what was said about the way the Mc acts in it or the events in it.

However, I will say that "Amazon genes" in this context refers to a group of mostly fictional woman warriors that were basically female half-giants from Greek myths and were white, or at most olive skinned and would by this point have mixed with whites enough to be white since their roots would be in mythology thus centuries removed from pure Amazons. Not brown.

You may be thinking of Amazon as in tribes of the rainforest in south America, where some of the tribes there had darker skin tones and especially in modern Brazil there are a lot of darker people.
Okay, I give you the point about skin color, but why are they so tall and fat? Amazons were described as strong and somewhat taller than the average woman in Greece, around 175cm, and they were truly muscular. They weren't described as 2.50m tall, with big tits, a big ass, and generally fat. They look like they grew up at McDonald's ;-) (translated with Google).

Amazon in storytelling just means giant woman. Stop expecting it to mean anything else. It's not accurate to any particular portrayal as there have been way too many different versions at this point. It's been used for a mythical island no man can find filled with only women, it's used for ancient warrior women and so on. With each tale making amazon mean what the author wants, so there's a plethora of stories to draw from and no correct way to portray an amazon woman.

I have no clue how we got from the first 9/10th of the first game to this.

Short of a portal into another reality under some of my couch cushions, none of this makes any sense.

I was bored and just asked the AI, too lazy to Google it, and it spat out the following:

Were Amazons described as giants in mythology?

No, Amazons were not described as giants in Greek mythology. They were considered exceptionally strong, courageous, and skilled warriors and horsewomen who lived on the edge of the known world.

Their main characteristics in ancient traditions were their martial skills, their independence from men, and their way of life, which defied traditional Greek gender roles. Physically, they were often described and depicted as attractive women of normal human height.

Sigh... this isn't a debate, whatever you may presume about it. There are many different depictions of amazon women in many different stories. That's a fact. Either accept it or continue not to but I'm not gonna engage in a debate on it.

If you wanna state your personal preference as to which version of the amazon you like or discuss what does or doesn't appeal to you about characters or the VN in general then that's fine.

Yeah, that's the thing with myths. So many different versions and it depends on who you ask. Kind of like Fairy Tales and stuff too. Succubus, Harpy, Mermaids, Nymphs, Vampires, Werewolves, and all kinds of things have variations in their myths. Like, can Vampires go out in the sun? Can Werewolves change shape when they want or only on full moons? Are nymphs general nature spirits or only water spirits? It can be fun to talk about, but I think that the dev was using the term to just give a half-hearted excuse as to why the ladies are so tall and not actually trying to set up anything deep for the lore of the game itself.

You're taking it too literal, as it said before, there are a lot of versions/visions and ways to describe an amazon, Wonder Woman from DC is an example of it, even if we follow exactly how they are described on the myths, just because they have the amazon genes, that doesn't mean they will look exactly like one, for example, if a guy has perfect genes for bodybuilding, and then he trains and become the greatest bodybuilder of all time, it doesn't mean that his son won't become fat or simply won't be as muscular as his father, maybe he won't even have a good gene for it because he did not inherit it from his father, maybe this gene will only reaper 2 generations later and even then, doesn't mean that they will be like the first guy.

He said on his discord that most of the renders of the second part are already done, so probably will be released on January, can't wait.

Okay I'm actually curious, why the hell some of the reviews of this game sound harsh?
it´s a harem/incest game where the mc starts out rock bottom with a lot of bad and dark shit happening to him, having to work his way up instead of beeing a gigachad and pantymagnet from the getgo who instantly succedes at everything.
this is not normal for this genre and many ppl that come here for this tags are repulsed by it
