I totally remember. But that's the exploit, in the economy of the story. The lucky strike. If we go like "Meh, the girls are strong enough to kill pretorians on an average day, there is basically no player on Eternum who is as strong as them, they can just kill whoever they meet, zero effort" where are the stakes?
A story works if the main character is in danger and they have to find the strength to get out of them. Take John Wick for instance. We start the first movie and they tell the audience that John Wick is the most badass killer around. He's better then anyone else. Fine. Yet through the 4 movies he meets plenty of hitmen who are (almost) at his level who are damn hard to kill. And when he doesn't there are a ton of enemies everywhere to keep him busy. You know he will win, but the movie makes it look like he can die any other minute. Those are stakes. If he just walked easely killing everyone straight to the final boss to shot him down yawning the movie would be no fun.

Well, I blame Thanatos , he probably killed most of those player who could be danger, and take their gem of doom, and reset them back to level 1. :ROFLMAO:.

BTW, we can actually fuck up in this episode again, and almost lose everything:LOL:.
and I'm sure the stake gonna higher from now on . There is not many who who has Gem of Doom Beside Thanatos, and We not Ready for him even if Orion is OP.

But don't take me wrong, the game is still great. I just think that Caridbis shouldn't make it look too easy for the 'serious' parts and not to only focus on the comedy.

The thing is the first part just wasn't meant as a serious scene. The theme not withstanding the music and tone make it very clear that it was meant as a "let our characters shine" moment that is meant to be fun and give each of them some nice action without actual suspense. Suspense comes more toward the very end of the episode.

After Cari sees this, he's going to write a pegging scene just for you*, and you will not be able to progress in the VN unless you take it and say "thank you Mistress Calypso" when she's done. ;)

* It will be an unskippable animation, at least 10 minutes long, with Japanese porn star sound effects, where you'll be crying for more.:devilish:

But that's the point. They don't shine. You don't shine if as a grown up man you beat a 6 yo children. You shine when you overcome adversities. If any challenge in the story ends up to be just comic value the story is unbalanced.

I both agree and kind of disagree, there is a mortality issue. We know that Jerry was level 39(?) and ended up dying in one hit, and that they are being hunted down by Thanatos who has Hyas. While Yes, the girls are not over powered level wise, It just bothers me that they are rarely struggling when it comes to mortality, besides the andromeda section of the story that depending on select choices, we can die (someone said Annie can as well but Idk if that is true). I think add some high risk scenarios where there is no absolute victory route and are forced to run away (and maybe some character resets(deaths) based on choices) would be good for the pacing.

Well, we can kill Nova in this episode if we not careful, :ROFLMAO:.
But the Premise of the game was always an Isekai power fantasy. I think it's good, that the girls are capable by their own, and not just there to be a simple Fucktoy, while Orion Save the day all the time, because he the chosen one and everyone else useless without him.

Does the story have anything related with greek mythology? I know Calypso, thanatos and Orion are from Greek mythology and that calypso in Greek mythology lived on the island of ogygia and in the game we find her in a server called ogygia but other than that is there anything else related to Greek mythology?

Nova's gun's name is Didone, if i don't recall bad. Not sure if thanatos sword is another greek name. Anyway there is a bit of everything. Calypso's backstory is saxon or britannic mithology i think. And Caridbis admitted some the Witcher inspiration. Calypso is much of Lara Dorren.

I doubt it, she know every weak spots & can match MC intense sex skill immediately.Also, in update 0.4, she fired up and giving MC the most experienced blowjob when her father is nearby which mean she does this with alot of guys before to piss her father.

The excuse of "only the tip"because she know she won't stop because MC have the biggest cock unlike the guys she fuck before.She also won't stop saying this is just a one time things which mean the guys she fuck before don't have any attachment with her.Mutually she want to fuck & have sex with those boys because she want to keep rebelling.

Say what you want, Alex isn't a virgin & very experienced in sex.But hey, atleast we are her special guy after all those grind & adventure.

Interesting take, I can see where you are coming from.

The whole virgin debate is a bit silly, I think. For an adult visual novel, nothing would soften someones erection more than watching two people fumble around awkwardly in what is supposed to be a game with pornographic content. I dont want to discount it, but I also think its a bit hasty to make an assumption like that.

As for the whole slut argument, I think you would need to replay the game because I find it hard to take that perspective away from Alex's storyline as you get to know her more throughout the game.
If anything, that is the assumption you would have if you had not known anything about Alex at all. This is, perhaps word for word, what her father said to her during the house scene where she and the MC are working on school project. Which was pretty fucked up.

Below are several screenshots of dialogue with Alex that I think provide evidence for the above points.

Orion literally say "He once was" when the pedo say that it's not a real kid. It show that he know NPC's are former human like Thanatos.
Click to expand...
Yeah, he says that, but it doesn't mean he knows it to be the case. In one of the scenes after, he speculates freely about what it all means.

Kamuisaki said:
Also are you saying that we can't be sure that Eternum is not a game ? When Calypso nearly say what Orion said during his bleeding case ? Or when Axel explain that it's physically impossible for Eternum to be a game, or at least currently impossible ? And just William who said that Orion understood that some NPC were former humans and that the true nature of Eternum is not what the population think it is ?
Click to expand...
No, I'm saying we can't be 100 percent sure all NPC are sentient beings. We can heavily suspect it for various reasons, but it hasn't been confirmed at that point.
