So... I just caught up to the latest cliffhanger. That was quite a mean tease XD. I agree that the (overly?) harsh wake-up call was needed, though I didn't expect it happened during such a random moment

. My obvious assumptions were either on Axel or Thanathos pulling a stunt.
1. Eternum: I do think the mystery around Eternum and all the spooky moments with accompanying music are fantastic (despite me being a wuss with such situations). I do especially liked the scenes with Idriel. The werewolves/vampire world was quite fun > Werewolves felt the most funny path, and siding with the hunters seemed kinda wrong in my opinion. Chop-Chop is hilarious.
2. Real world: The last scene with Axel was unexpected but not not welcome. The bleeding occurence seemed kinda weird the first time. Like why did Orion think he slept with the e-gear still equipped, when we saw him going to bed normally after his trip back (and just to appear naked in the Collector event).
Random observation, but quite a few AVNs (west or east) seem to love making the rich parents kinda a jerk (for corny drama), but even if someone is not "caring" much for Alex as a LI, you ought to feel bad for how her shitty dad treat(ed) her.
Luna's past was, yiekes, horrible. I mean kids can be shitty, but hearing the effing teachers badmouth about her? Yikes. It definitely triggered the "Must protect and cherish" feeling. When she high-fived Annie, it was clearly something erotic she saw in her vision (probably a non-brainer conclusion

). Oh yes and Chang is great. He deserves his happy outcome!
3. Lewd scenes: First and foremost, yes they are hawt. BUT c'mon, what's with Orion's 0 to 100 shift in personality after picking to show how much care about Nova leading to pushing her against the wall while acting/talking like a bad porn actor and going on a humping marathon

. It would have obviously happened sooner (rather than later), but eh... it felt kinda over the top, seeing that Orion *can* converse and act normally (and sweetly) before the mental switch was "flipped", despite sharing the AVN pervy MC trait. I hope it won't feel too samey like Nancy turned kinda wild/"thirsty" and Alex and Penny (ignoring her "Break me..." moment) still uncertain after their initital wild sessions. Luna will definitely have a WILD side to her. The barn scene proved it once she stopped bottling up her emotions. Heck, even the pool scene IRL made her slip out a light "Fuck". Don't get me wrong here, it is no novelty that sex scenes may or may not happen kinda "randomly" after the first actual intercourse (in the real world), and yes I am aware that this is a porn game. And I don't care particularly if harem ending is going to be canon (once more).
> Despite the latter rambling, I do not "hate" this AVN or else I wouldn't read it through the end of update or post in the first place (not a fan of posting negative stuff just to rile up or ruin the fun for others).
