Ngl both of those renders don't give any clues for Next scenes

They aren't really previews, IMO. When a dev gives a progress update, you tend to get two sorts of images shared - some are previews, that show a bit of a scene and hint at what might be happening (but hopefully don't confirm anything, as they are just teasers). Then there are what I think of as more like social media photos. They are just pictures of the MC/LI and you can't deduce anything at all from them. They are practically just profile pics or random close up photos that you might post on Instagram.

Obviously the first are the better kind, as they lead to discussion - I've seen dozens of posts giving theories just for one tiny aspect of a preview photo in other threads. There's a line though between a preview and an outright spoiler, and the issue is that a lot of devs either don't know where the line is, or are too cautious of even getting close to it, so we end up with the social media-type "previews" instead.

So, a couple went to a counselor about their bedroom issues. The counselor gives the husband some secret advice, and suddenly, their sex life's amazing. But the wife notices he's muttering during sex, turns out he's just saying, "This woman is not my wife." Old joke, I know, probably been around for ages. I bring this up because I think it's necessary to understand couples' sex lives and sharing when playing his games.

Once you consistently have sex with only one partner, sex loses its novelty, becomes mechanical, and boring. It starts to feel like an obligation, and you may even avoid it. This is why most long-term couples become sexless. People who actively try to escape this situation might call a hooker or knock on the door of a local swapping club. When sex becomes dull, having sex with someone new becomes exciting and stimulating. Even with mutual consent, those experiencing swapping for the first time feel the thrill of doing something forbidden, like returning to their teenage years and experiencing sex for the first time. Therefore, the other person doesn't need to be sexually superior to your partner; simply being someone other than your regular partner is enough to feel more stimulated. Naturally, you experience new sensations that your partner cannot provide.

Since I am not a woman, I cannot know the psychology of women with cuckold partners. However, at least FMCs in Dimajio's games are sexually aroused by the fact that their partners are cuckold. In other words, they are aroused by their partners' arousal when they engage in sexual interactions with other men. As the relationships with other men become more stimulating, MCs become more aroused, and the FMCs also become more aroused, escalating the situation.

There's no reason for the MCs to feel humiliation when the FMCs in the games are more sexually satisfied with other men. This is something the MC cannot provide to the FMC regardless of sexual superiority, and it's important for the couple to enjoy this situation together. Neither the MC nor the player should feel humiliation in this situation. In fact, although the MC can also gain satisfaction with other women that the FMC cannot provide, this part is often omitted. While balancing this aspect is possible, other developers cover it extensively, so it's not essential for him to do so. Most of his fans don't want that, and savoring a slightly humiliated situation is also enjoyable.

I have a few additional points.

In a society with some social and sexual restrictions, the first sexual encounter is the most difficult. However, once it happens, it starts to burn uncontrollably. For a certain period, it's almost impossible to control. It's quite realistic that FMCs in games continue to engage in sex with other men after their first encounter. Of course, this novelty fades after a certain point. Then, they either return to normal life or seek more stimulation. In games, they start seeking more stimulation.

Regarding gangbang, some women do prefer it, though it's not common. Personally, I haven't met anyone who prefers it because it's more sexually stimulating. Most of them enjoy being surrounded by multiple men who aim to please them, being treated like a princess. So, many are attention seekers. Emma also seems to have attention-seeking tendencies.

I find the pacing in Dimajio's games realistic. A couple who had lost interest in sex reignites their sexual passion by entering a new situation (cuckold). They discuss and get excited about the cuckolding situation, leading to sex. The fantasy grows through these repetitions and eventually explodes when it matures enough to be realized. The fantasy continues to burn as it becomes reality. I don't think there's a problem with the pacing.

However, what sets ETBA apart from his other works is that it's played from the FMC's perspective. I feel this weakens the Cuckold elements of the game. Everyone has a porn actress crush. Even when you see them having sex with other men, it's hard to feel jealous. That's because you become immersed in the other man's perspective and have sex with her. NTR shouldn't create this situation. The player should only be immersed in the MC and view the FMC from his perspective, but this collapses when the FMC's perspective is introduced.

I call it Dimajio's Dilemma, a problem with how to depict the FMC's experiences in the MC's absence. There's no easy or natural solution, and it's evident that Dimajio is struggling with how to solve this. At least, the FMC's perspective in ETBA feels like a failure. And PE's hidden camera was the best.

Martin is the main "bull" in the game, so he is kinda at the center of attention. With EP6, there are only 2 possible "bulls" - Emma's college teacher (forgot his name), and Martin.

We can safely surmise that EtBA was supposed to have more potential partners for Emma, but the developer got burned out on trying to maintain 4 parallel paths (Loyalty, Cuckolding/Sharing, MMF, and Cheating) just for Martin, so he decided to wrap up the game now before introducing another "bull" that would double the already heavy burden on him.

one bull is just a lover
much more dangerous for a relationship than a few bulls

I think he's saying with only 1 extra-marital option, chances of attachment are much higher and thus the liasons are more risky for the original relationship.

 

[psychedevil]

Yeah, Emma has gotten herself into quite a mess on the cheating path. On that path, my opinion is that Patrick deserves better. She's done some incredibly disrespectful things and has shown no conscience about it. I would let her have Martin if that's what she wants (or let her have fun with many men chasing after her) and find a woman who won't cheat on me at the drop of a hat when she gets male attention.

How to trigger that path? just try your best to keep hert save? or is there one main decision point?

 

[psychedevil]

***Warning: This is another lengthy comment with potential spoilers. However, you did ask for specifics that back my view on Emma showing sudden changes that contrast with how she initially is portrayed.

What I detailed in my previous comment was along the sexual modesty/faithfulness path. Obviously, taking any other path will involve Emma displaying thoughts and behaviors that are even more discrepant with how her personality was initially described and in even starker contrast to her initially expressing so much discomfort in relation to the married couple's living arrangement with Martin.

As an example, I now will provide the choices and outcomes involved in one of the other paths below, which I suppose can be called the cheating path since Emma conceals from her husband every sexual interaction she has with Martin:

Patrick tells Emma she should be proud that in many years she is the first to attrack Martin's attention

Patrick tells Emma he is okay with her modeling in lingerie if she is into it

Patrick tells Emma he is okay with Martin touching her to adjust her pose or clothing while photographing

Patrick tells Emma he experiencing a whirlwind of emotions when he noticed Martin looking at her in a thong

Patrick stops and watches Emma in the changing room as Martin watches her

Unknown to Emma, Patrick watches her looking at Martin as Martin masturbates and calls out her name while watching porn

Outcome: Prior to her husband's presence in the dressing room, Emma thinks to herself that she is excited and enjoying Martin watch her while she changes clothes. After noticing her husband also watching, Emma says that she is curious about teasing both men at the same time ("something I wouldn't have even dared thinking about before"). Then later while looking at Martin as he masturbates and calls out her name, Emma removes her bra so she can touch her bare breast while stimulating her clitoris with her other hand.

Patrick tells Emma that he is feeling pretty turned on after she shares with him that she was feeling embarrassed and excited about Martin glancing at her and touching her to adjust her pose during the photoshoot

Patrick tells Emma that he can see why Martin enjoys working with her so much

Patrick sends Emma a porn clip involving a couple (just one man and one woman)

Outcome: Emma sends Patrick a porn clip involving two men having sex with one woman. As she does this, she thinks that maybe Patrick would have preferred a threesome video with two women instead of two men, but she sends the porn video with two men anyway. After sending the threesome video with two men, Emma thinks to herself that she is both worried and excited. She then showers and leaves the bathroom door open, which results in Martin seeing her bare breasted.

Patrick writes nothing in response to the video that Emma sent (in other words, does not say that he likes it)

Outcome: Emma tells Patrick that she noticed he did not have anything to say about the threesome porn video she shared. Patrick replies that he is "worried these fantasies might turn into something more." In response, Emma says she gets it. Though Emma admits that she probably should not have sent that video, she then cannot help herself but to think about Martin performing sex acts on her instead of her husband as she has a masturbatory video chat with her husband (unknown to her husband, who believes she is imagining him pleasuring her). After the video chat ends with her husband, Emma is still not sexually satisfied and continues to masturbate in bed as she thinks about what she viewed earlier on porn sites. Lastly, Emma decides on her own to drink wine with Martin to celebrate that evening, despite knowing that alcohol supposedly gives her problems with controlling herself.

While Emma is in bed that evening, Patrick makes a noise to distract Martin when he notices him kissing Emma on her legs and ass in bed (with Emma actually being awake and acting as if she is asleep but says nothing)

Outcome: Emma agrees to wear some particularly provocative lingerie for Martin, which she admits makes her look like "some high-class escort." After the photoshoot, Emma allows Martin to place his hand on her butt for the third time that evening, and she then gives him a handjob and licks the tip of his dick until he cums. When her husband asks why she did not answer the phone, Emma conceals all of this having happened from him.

At the end of the next evening, Patrick decides to call to check up on Emma after the party at the home of Martin's brother (after he sees an email indicating that Emma failed to tell him she and Martin would be posing as a couple and would be in a hot tub completely naked together)

Outcome: Emma allows Martin to finger her and grabs his dick while in the hot tub. Then when Patrick calls her while they are on the way home, she allows Martin to stroke her pussy. Then when arriving back at Martin's home, Emma allows Martin to kiss her legs and ass while she is in bed. (Note: If Patrick decides not to call to check on Emma because it is already past midnight, then she allows Martin to give her cunnilingus.) When Patrick asks Emma about what happened at the party and afterwards the next day, she conceals everything from him.

While in bed together on the first night after returning from out of town, Patrick decides to pretend to be asleep when he realizes that Emma is getting up from bed (and assumes she probably is heading to the kitchen or bathroom)

Outcome: Emma joins Martin the shower, gives him a blowjob, and has sex with him in a standing position. As this is happening, Patrick gets tired of waiting for Emma to return to bed, hears the shower and assumes it must be Emma (thinking it would be nice to join her in the shower), and then knocks on the bathroom door three times. When Emma finally answers the door, she keeps him from entering and says she just needs a couple minutes to finish.

On the day before moving into their new apartment, Patrick decides to wait for Emma and Martin to return from viewing photos together (choosing to trust his wife although he heard her and Martin whispering in the hallway)

Outcome: Martin tells Emma he is crazy about her, and during the next evening (the night prior to moving into a new apartment), Emma is given the option of going to Martin's room. If the choice is made for Emma to go to Martin's room, then she gives him a blowjob and has sex with Martin in multiple positions, ultimately allowing him to cum inside of her. If this happens, then the next day while her husband is busy moving (before she and her husband have even slept one night in their new apartment), she gives Martin a blowjob, allows him to perform cunnilingus on her, and has sex with him in multiple positions. Upon hearing her husband return, Emma then makes up an excuse to have her husband go do something downstairs, resumes having sex with Martin, and then again allows him to cum inside of her. When Emma and her husband finally have sex in bed in their new apartment the next night, she is aroused in part by thinking about the professor (Matthew) having flirted with her and put his hand on her knee when they had dinner that evening.

Along this path, Emma's behavior is even more discrepant from how she was presented at first. Despite Emma not being a very adventurous person apart from her husband, never having had sex with anyone but her husband, and expressing discomfort about the living arrangement with Martin four times, within a matter of days and with little initial encouragement from her husband to be open to posing for photos in lingerie and considering fantasies they might explore, Emma has become sexually obsessed with Martin (and the idea of having sex with other men) to the point that she is allowing it to occupy her mind even when she is supposed to be sexually focused on her husband. She further has had many inappropriate moments with Martin and has engaged in multiple sex acts with him, which she has concealed from her husband all along the way. If her husband is trusting of her at various points and does not make special efforts to check on her, she also has full-blown sex with Martin a number of times, which includes having sex with Martin in multiple positions as her husband is busy with helping them to move into their new apartment.

Interestingly, even if Patrick is untrusting and checks on Emma at every opportunity along this path, she still engages in multiple sex acts with Martin, does not have sex with her husband in bed on the first night in their new apartment, and allows the professor to grope her during dinner. Also, in what must be an error in the game, Emma mentions to herself while in bed with her husband in their new apartment for the first time that she is having trouble not thinking about the passion she shared with Martin while they were moving and expects it to happen again and again (when nothing happened between her and Martin while moving if Patrick is untrusting and checks on Emma at every opportunity).

Here, 666terror666, I posted about it previously.

 

[xcalibar4]

Here, I posted about it previously.

I think Emma started to fantasize about Martin from Day 1 in any less than pure route. Even in pure route she does things and hide things from Patrick. She is more honest and open in cuck route (even the route selection is way later) but even in that route she hides things from Patrick.

I think dimajio333 is good in writing from bull perspective for a cuckold couple like Lost in Paradise bull route. But in every other game it's always the FMC is like closet slut and closet is stuck in the ceiling and the moment the FMC sees another man's dick they will fall from there right into dick.

I agree with others that dimajio333 couple is a cuck and hotwife couple in most games but to me it's like all those Amazon hotwife stories where the wife wants to have cake and eat it to and to do that they will do anything to reel the hubby into cuckolding and if he didn't get reeled in then she will just cheat.

Also isn't refusing hubby his relief or cage him falls into humiliation? His every game has this, where hubby is waiting for wife while she is fucking somebody/anybody and it's implied he can't have the pussy. I have read/played few cuck theme games from jap what I liked in them it clearly shows the wife giving hubby a handjob while reporting it and when he comes she will tell "oh I thought you will last longer and you get to reclaim the pussy but now I may have to go the bull again to get satisfied" and hubby gets another erection and with a playful smile she tells "I see someone is excited to hear it, oh you're so hopeless, what would I do with you" and then happily rides him. But the western devs always tries NTS, cuck or sharing (even swinging) games get more into humiliation side.

 

[Noviush]

I'm on day three of the game and I fully support psychedevil and xcalibar4's posts. From personal experience, I know that "open-minded" marriages require complete honesty, trust and loyalty . When secrets appear, hiding one's own feelings, fulfilling hidden fantasies behind the partner's back - this definitely leads to the end of the relationship.

I don't know how big the percentage of guys who like to feel lied to, humiliated and ignored is, but personally I have the impression that it is quite small. And this is the main thread of dimajio333's games.

If dimajio333 wanted to create a path with true Sharing, then first of all, both spouses have to be 100% honest with each other, act TOGETHER, and be the most important to each other.

This is what I miss most in dimajio333's games. There are too many lies, cheating and deception. And there is a lack of honesty and trust in them. Yes, many men fantasize about their wife having sex with another man, but very few of them want to be left out and humiliated while doing so.

In my opinion, the Sharing path should look like this:
When MC and Emma notice Martin's interest, they should both have the option to choose whether Emma will tease him and to what extent. Whether they decide to take it further, whether MC wants to be present, and both should discuss it with Martin. Anything else leads to the Cuckolding/Cheating path.

Edidt:
I finished day 12 on the Sharing path. Emma hides most of what happened between her and Martin, no mention of fingering in the jacuzzi or morning cunnilingus. She lied that she stopped Martin after kissing her buttchick. That's not SHARING, that's CUCKOLDING/CHEATING.

 

[Adamska]

So are we going to get to murder Martin at some point, or should I stop checking back in on this one?

 

[Dessolos]

So are we going to get to murder Martin at some point, or should I stop checking back in on this one?

I mean the next update is the final update , so if you played all the content might as well play the next update even if you don't get what you want but otherwise yeah if you don't like something might as well just drop it.

 

[Adamska]

I mean the next update is the final update

I'm joking and will be playing (but also want a murder Martin DLC).

This got me thinking that there would be no need for the plot device of a secret camera or a camera that was left on by accident in these kinds of games, to where the MC has to somehow react in order to prevent his female partner from doing something or allowing something to happen, if the story was not slanted toward his female partner otherwise failing to maintain appropriate boundaries with another man.
