The way I see it, Marissa is slowly discovering that she tied her whole "existence" as an adult to being MC's girlfriend, like a title. She had no friends outside of MC's social circle, and had no hobbies outside of being a good student.
Flora is now the one person in her life helping her discover more about herself, as a person and a woman; what she wants to do, where she wants to go.
This isn't the same Marissa you meet at the start of the game, she is on her way to becoming a whole new person... with Flora's help.
Obviously, there is some porn-logic in use here (there has to be), but Marissa discovering a whole new side to herself - without MC present - provides an excellent justification for "experimenting" and, eventually, cheating on him. Hopefully, mostly with Flora, though it seems Adrianna will be a part of that awakening as well.
Yeah and I don't think that porn logic makes much sense in this instance. Marissa might like the attention and enjoy the new things she's doing and feeling. But that doesn't mean she's going to cheat. There might be something that happens that results in her taking the full step, remains to be seen.
I am just expressing that I don't agree with the direction the story is currently taking.
I still enjoy the game though and every other character aside from Marissa is great and I have no complaints about what the little sister and Gemma are doing. That's not even NTR. I just feel like with the message board and the MC having access to it.
Currently it's not had anything to do with the MCs story. It's just the player that's reading it, not him.
It's wasted potential and I feel like it's written like it's supposed to be NTRS and he's supposed to enjoy seeing his "women" doing these things, but he's just oblivious, but it's just forced to be NTR just because that's what the dev wants.
HE just wants to take a perfectly adjusted girl in a happy relationship and within a few months of her boyfriend being away she's going to be a cheating slut for literally no good reason. My personal opinion is that it would have been better if the MC was in on it. HE was one of the people on the message boards and maybe his target was bonnie just like the other guys targets are his gf his siter and his childhood friend.
There are plenty of ways they could have taken this game, but it just feels like to me that he wanted the all women are eventually going to cheat no matter what. Every female in this game is just gonna cheat on their parters because that's what women are, obviously it's an NTR game and it's porn so that's what the characters are going to do. I just don't agree with how little resistance Marissa has to it, so far she's not done anything bad, only the little sister has.
But she's just days off having her lesbian fun with Flora and then off to the races it's too easy.
Time will tell what the dev does of course. I like NTR too, even if NTRS is my preferred thing.
I would have loved it if the MC told Marissa about the message board and they just had their fun with it. Not sure how that would work since the MC's whole personality and Marissa's too would need to be rewritten probably. But hey. That's what I prefer and I'm ok with accepting that's not gonna happen.
