I'm more into japanese visual novels, but I think this game is solid as my misgivings are mostly with general western AVN approaches of the main character (not that the JP studios are different with rarely changing what works
:KEK:).

So without further ado, time to make me unpopular :p - What I like: The girls are top. Nova is hilarious and the comedy music that plays when she's involved in non-serious moments like during the "conference call" after the first events with Callypso was spot on. The VR MMO approach of Eternum is quite good and reminds me somewhat of Sword Art Online with its realism setting (and chance to die IRL if you die in the game, albeit apparently only under certain circumstances). The mystery server was creepy as F, and I would probably never "touch" this MMO if it existed IRL as I don't like free-for-all PvP as a huge scaredy cat lol. Looking at you Thanatos. The songs during lewd scenes is also something which I think is a cool idea in AVNs (something Japanese ones don't use in these moments) + the general BGM is great.

What I don't like: Alex's idiot brother as a rival feels too black or white as in it seems he only exists to increase angsty drama and the simping level for Orion (from the readers), though I won't deny that I also simply don't enjoy overly hostile "rivals". I hope he either grows up after realizing/accepting that his dad is trash or the truth of his friend's death OR he doesn't overstay his "welcome" in the long run.
Also Orion's haircut :LOL:. Oh and sorry, but the sex scenes are eh. This has nothing to do with Caribdis, but the general western AVN execution of making the MC into a big thong personified sex god with whom everyone gets "addicted" after the first multisession romp (from what I skimmed through of Penny or Nova's scenes) for lack of a better expression.

Cari and his moderators made it that way because they kept having issues with bots, raiders, and pirates posting DL links to leaked versions of the game. Sooo, can't really blame them for putting some sort of stopgap to all of that bullcrap.

TL;DR, Jerry's a rat working for Thanatos and/or William, and is leaking info of Orion's gem and artifact hunting activities to them.

Although, nothing is impossible. Sometimes the most unexpected and quiet character may not be the one you imagined.
This could fit into the plot, if you look at the fact that many thought that Alex's brother could be a sworn enemy and then it turned out differently, as we see, he quickly gave in and warned Orion about something...
So can expect anything from Jerry

I mean...yeah, how Thanatos always shows up right after Orion and the Crew got the Gems and Caly still is a mystery.
And Jerry looking like a stupid idiot and Dalia simp only to reveal himself at some point as "somewhat" of an evil mastermind...

Of course the problem is that he knows Dalia personally, so it would be somewhat of a major coincident that he would by chance know and kinda play together with the one woman that gets on the trail of one of the gems. Except if he made the deal with Thanatos because he and Dalia were on the trail of the gem. Then again: Would Jerry really share that with Thanatos, losing his own chance to get a gem?

No it's not. You can talk about the game here.

You're getting the game for free. It's such a fucking entitled thing to complain about needing to drop $2 to use the author's discord when there is no paywall on the game itself.

I feel like if the "Thanatos is an NPC" theory is true then that could explain it: Jerry has some sort of means to control Thanny which he plans to exploit later on once the latter secures the gems. Of course, it's likely going to backfire on Jerry's face because...well...Thanatos.

If not, then it could be that he has some sort of plan to steal the gems from Thanatos once the latter has them all...which again WILL blow up in his face. But Jerry has always been delusional so he might think he has some sort of chance against him when the time comes (except he doesn't). :HideThePain:

Seems unlikely, tbh. Too much of a stretch. Jerry was already doing what he does (sucking up to Dalia through Eternum) before Orion became a big deal. He already knew her in person, too.

True. And I admit I'm skeptical as well. Still, if there's one person in the group who'll likely have a traitor moment at some point, it won't surprise me if that ends up being Jerry. :whistle:

If only we human mortals could just insanely ripped by playing video games. It would be a nice perk.

Although, it would be a bit of a double-edged sword because without any sacrifice or effort to achieve the goal, it kind of loses it's value.

As someone who is actually ripped and plays video games, it's really not that hard at all. With the right diet and two 60 minute gym sessions a week interspersed with a couple of free weight sessions at home and a bit of cycling, rowing machine or running you'll notice changes in about 6-8 weeks, do it for a year and you'll be surprised at how good you look.

Don't we already know how to control NPCs? What I am thinking is, if Nova can hack stuff in Eternum, could a similar mechanism be responsible for Thanatos' terrifying power? So he is getting both controlled and empowered to be a sort of super-slave to get the gems.

That of course could also lead to the entire thing blowing up in Jerry's face like you said, when the empowered Thanatos suddenly doesn't want to dance after his tune anymore :unsure:

Though that would kinda go against my thanny-ain't-evil-theory, but hey, there is never enough theories

I don't think he controls Thanatos. Being his henchman...maybe. Being his master? No. I mean he dies constantly, so he would risk losing whatever device he would be using for one. Also a guy like Jerry wouldn't ridicule himself like that, if he had essentially the most powerful weapon on all Eternum at his disposal.

He would be openly boasting with it and trying to control everything.

I'm not saying he's controlling him NOW, I'm saying he could use the device for later once Thanny has all the gems and force him to hand them over. For now he could be acting like some sort of informant to Thanny, guiding him to gem locations and whatnot until he eventually betrays him later on...and then it will be another death added to his many deaths (assuming Thanny doesn't have the means to perform excommunication on the bastard). :HideThePain:
