You can complain what you want, everyone is free to do so. This is a thread to discuss the game after all. People will only get bothered if someone is actively doing a detailed search of issues in game just to bother the dev and their fans. While I don't agree at all with your points, you're still being respectful.

Just a side comment since you touched the topic, I don't understand why some people really have that need for those crusades in finding bad points in game. Every game simply isn't for everyone of course, but I don't see the point of continuously pointing out here and there what you don't like about the a game.

And this thread and people around here are actually pretty chill (way too much to the point of mods being around here to clean Off-topic), and you don't get rude answers for criticism (to a certain extent I guess), but trust me that there are other threads around these forums way more negative, where to the slightiest criticism people start to bash out everything you say, even with best intentions. It's unfortunate, but that's what he get when some people keep doing the "crusades". Maybe is on purpose, I have no idea.

Just enjoy the game, if you like it cool, if you don't then also cool. You're free to do any criticism, except about Penny you hear me? If I see you saying anything wrong rude about Penny there will be consequences.

Love ya mate(no homo)
Yeah, people here are way too chill, thats good i guess, Iam sorry if i sound annoyned, I dont feel the game is bad, is overall good, good graphics for this kinda game, the ost is kinda hit or miss(there way too many) the writting is what dissapoint me the most, but still game is its moments, the dev put way too many concepts in the game, all of them being developed without the propper writting, still think is the weakest side of the game, the characters relationship on the other hand are treat properly, every girl has its own arc, i love that, more that pls,dev know how to make you feel for the girls, is cheap but very effective

If all the words and character development aren't really your speed, you may want to try something other than an AVN. Maybe animations. Check out the forum section dedicated to them.
If you'd rather not, allow me to spare you the chore of going through all that cumbersome text by summarizing the relevant bits of the game:

[playernamehere]
-- Hi, I'm [playernamehere] and I'm... abou to have sex.
[playernamehere]
-- Yeah, I'm having sex. It's good. Here, look at this slideshow:
(run animations)
[playernamehere]
-- Sex sucessfuly had. GGWP. Oh, and something about Eternum.
The end.

PS: Sorry. Re-reading, that came out a little too snippy, more than intended. I just don't get why you'd criticize a narrative for taking the time to establish characters rather than single-mindedly moving the plot along. Feels like criticizing a song because it's not all chorus, but full of bridges and intros and stuff.

It all depends on where are your expectations, i dont expect a macdonalds to be tasty healty or fullfill my stomach, i expect to be cheap
that being said, I have high expectations with the writting of this one, on the indie side, you have photo hunt, nice writting, girls has they own arc and the world feels believable, on the pro side, you have something like nanairo reincarnation, it is unfair to compare, so I dont know, people recomend me this saying this is the SAO of porn games, since is a indie game i was expecting a better writting, is not bad, but could be one of the best if you stick with the basics, at least the relationships are well developed

Are you playing the game in English? If so, I’m going to go out on a limb and say that’s your problem - clearly your English proficiency is low, so a lot of things are going over your head, the jokes aren’t landing, you get confused. It doesn’t make for a good experience. I’m surprised you haven’t figured this out, and are instead blaming the game. Certainly if I tried to watch Seven Samurai in Japanese i wouldn’t blame the movie for not making sense, I’d blame my Japanese. But going by your “but iam[sic] right” comment I get the sense there is some arrogance at play here.

I understand the game perfectly, the writting isnt bad because the game inst funny, Iam pretty sure SAO make me laugh too, the writtin here is bad for the same reasons sao is bad, you dont write about something you dont completly understand, also the game has way too many easy ways out, you cant rely on that, also mc power is being super lucky, hes friend with the top players of the game thats too convinient, game is fun sure, but you cant swipe the dust under the rug
the emotional parts are where this writting really shine

Too many how? Too many servers? Like, how are you going to portray a game that has just about every world under the sun if you don't show the variety? Too many subplots? They're like, easy to keep track of unless you're inattentive.

I dunno where you're at but the man loses his first gem to the top player of the game and nearly gets a party wipe despite getting a mysterious power up. Even though he escaped by the skin of his teeth, I'm not sure that qualifies as lucky.

And what exactly, pray tell, doesn't the author understand?

I mean based from William's infodump and the shit that happened to Orion so far it sounds like the textbook definition of this:

I think it more exists in a place of "there are many realities" and there are ways to go between them. Calypso has such a way, as is Eternum giving one. But not quite "it exists on another place" rather "you are projecting an image over there".

I think Idriel projects, though perhaps not only. She Derezes and comes back as she's lecturing us while we die. Like an old pre-digital TV with a slightly iffy signal...

Almost correct. Those worlds are literally in the same universe but different solar systems/galaxies. The "implants" that the humans are using allow you to project your meta-physical body (probably quantum physics and entanglement shit) onto a distant place.

As new worlds are discovered, the implants are automatically updated. Some of the species/beings in the universe can project their meta-physical bodies without the need of an implant like Idriel I suppose and some can open portals to known locations in the universe like Calypso.

Edit: Of course since Idriel was human but is already dead and having her soul bound to Eternum, she has most likely gained the ability to project her soul to other places.

Actually, I think many are alternate realities for one point. Remember the stargazing scene at the party? Alex identified all the constellations. These are UNIQUE per planet, so that place can only be an alternate version of Earth. Unless the suggestion is that there is a complete copy of the milky way somewhere else. There are far too many factors to have it replicate exactly down to such details. So I'm staying with the idea of "alternate reality", even with the addition of those allowing magic having that as a sort of rule for reality and not one that the game imposes.

There are theories on Idriel being the elf from Calypso's story (Anima)

But what about the human that freed Anima is that Orion Reincarnted or perhaps someone that Idriel chose to help free the NPC's? :unsure:
