What an update, overall very impressed but there are some minor things that annoy me.
The good:
We finally are getting to the stage where the MC realizes he's building a Harem and not denying it. As in OIAL, Cardi does this incredible well where we actually feel that the MC loves everyone, as each has their own personality and reason as to why the MC loves them. Good forshadowing with multiple threesomes (Annie+Luna, Dalia+Alex, Nova+Penny) and a clear Harem leader in Nancy. Renders and Animations are top notch again, but we come to expect that. Plot moves forward at a reasonable pace with a getting another Gem and meeting Tartanus/Wyatt.
The bad:
MC's ability to teleport to Eternum was a good idea, but as many said before, he should have never gone with Dalia. He nearly died a week before while walking to get Pizza, but now wants to spy on a Billionaire which they suspect uses some form of cheats/illegal method to win the event. The only reason is so we can have Dalias first time be in Eternum but still in Reality, which felt kinda meh. No scenes with Penny at all after the last Sex scene felt a bit surprising, as well as giving Nova back to back scenes. We all knew that most girls are Virgins, but having two first times in one update made the 2nd one with Dalia not as special, could have spaced it out over multiple updates or changed the order of the girls in previous updates.
The ugly:
Not to much, main problem I had is that EVERY girl is a Sex freak. I got it with Alex, Penny and Nova. Their personalities make sense as they feel more mature (Alex, Penny) or you could sense it with their shyness (Nova). But for Annie, that made 0 sense. Annie is like 155cm, barely 18 and looks like shes weighting 50kg, so I didn't really understood why Cardi went this hard with Annies 2nd Scene (after she came back from the Bathroom). We already have 6 girls which all liked to be fucked hard, why couldn't Annie be different? Why not make her someone where MC has sensual Sex with more words of affirmation and intimate moments?
Overall:
Even though I did wrote more negative things then I expected at first, this probably comes because we all have such high expectations of this game. None of these are game breaking or "I'm never going to play this again" and also some personal preferences. This game is one of the Top 3 and with each update raises the bar for the other games (Pale Carnation and BAD especially) which should make us all incredibly happy.
Great update, can't wait for the next one.
Also, I didn't love the Dream sequence, but also didn't hate it. It was fun but I would prefer if for future updates the time of development would be spend on more Lore and Plot, but I'm pretty sure Cardi has earned the right to do the things he wants to do.
