As a follow-up to my previous post:
After doing more and more of the H-content, I feel my original assumptions were correct. There is an obscene amount of padding for story sections with unique scenes (so many CGs get repeated constantly or only updated with minor differences). The amount of dialogue between new CGs is baffling at times. The Holy City in particular is really bad,
as you spend a ridiculous amount of time on mostly dialogue changes and extremely long conversations while you look at largely unchanging CGs. The goblin scenes all take forever, the pregnancy subplot also takes forever, basically everything takes forever. I ended up reloading a save eventually just to finish the section.
Also like I mentioned in that post, Reiri herself is so weird in H-scenes. It really feels like there are two different characters operating in the story and the h-scenes once you're lewd enough to work at the casino. She will constantly say how she's not up for doing certain lewd actions or how beneath her something is, but will immediately
give a BJ under a table at the Casino while smiling ear to ear. She can do that, but is opposed to prostitution? She is doing this in public with people everywhere, you would at least be doing sex work in a private room.
The beach works the same way and it really makes no sense. Reiri can
bang a dude in broad daylight on the beach even with kids out and about, but she can't do sex work??? lmao
Feels like Reiri is getting possessed by Mikami from Vitamin Quest in H-scenes.
