It's not a VN, it's a KN.
technically yes, but since there is no KN tag, and since there are more similarities between KN and what is tagged as "VN" on this site than between KN and no tag (no tag = game), it would make sense to put KN and VN in the same category with the same tag.
the best would be to properly tag things of course, but things are as they are.

What do you think the tag "kinetic novel" means then?

I don't know what many people think, but for me Becky deserves revenge in the future. The MC is too arrogant, for me he's already crossed the line. In the end, both of them can be happy after repentance and so on.
Precisely what I've written on these forums. The MC is a bit of a wanker. He deserves seeing Becky getting shagged by another. It's been mentioned, however, that the Dev will never do that, so...

I agree even her being shagged by his best friend will be a poetic justice. It does not even have to be the police if its out of characater

So it wouldn't be fair since Parker deserves to be betrayed too. For all the shit he's been doing it would be boring to see everyone getting screwed except him. (n)
But with whom should we pair Becky. Not the cops [UGH!]. Carl? Maybe, but too easy. No, it has to be another student or teacher. Perhaps Tim, the black student. But, I think the person that would hurt Parker most of all would be Tom, Melissa's (his mother's) lover.

The developer will never do it, but it would be poetic justice were it to happen.

Parker is a scum-bag.

Without doubt. It will be interesting to see how the developer ends this game. I'm thinking Parker goes too far with someone and gets shot.

Regardless, it WILL have to end somehow. Possibilities are endless, including Parker living nastily ever after - not my preference, but possible anyway.

How will it end? I hope for a flash forward 20-30 years. Parker is a cop and pulling over a middle aged teacher, her son, and best friend. Same scenario stripping the teacher mom, son watching through one-way mirror. Parker corrupting the next generation. lol

You know, you may well have it... Damn! The nastily-ever-after ending.

Add to this that Becky has been sufficiently corrupted that she helps out in "catching or identifying" new targets.

Jenna is not innocent but she did not deserve to be treated like that. She will certainly be perfect for any revenge if it depends on Rich.
In the last update it says that she went crazy or died, however I think she is planning something.

Regarding Jenna, the author didn't specify what happened to her (unless I missed something). The update said
"Jenna didn't come back to school after the dance. In fact, we didn't see her again the rest of the year."
On the next text box it said
"Oh, all the usual rumors. She'd moved. She'd had a nervous breakdown. She'd committed suicide."
On the following text box it said
"But nobody knew anything. Not that I cared. Made it easier for me not to have to deal with her."

Underscoring added by me.

Very respectfully,
fleet

I'll just toss in that, as an author, it's very flattering that people are sufficiently interested in the story as to do all this speculation. It's much appreciated.

Part of the reason that I created Scenes That Didn't Happen was that there are all these varied possibilities, and there's no way I can coherently integrate them into the remaining story line. I'm also beginning to wonder whether I should consider a "FF&S: Ten Years Later" sequel or something like that.

Yes, I heard that myself, but why then have this project tag "Netorare", when there is literary no NTR scene with Becky
I think it's the Mom that is "ntr" and I totally get it from the dev.
Just to be clear Mr Propper, you definitely should check and learn along with Rich, what is true definition of tag "Netorare" here on F95!
What makes you think that the mother is not a love interest of the MC. The fact that he's never going to have her, is actually an argument FOR the NTR tag.
Totally agree also even if the NTR doesn't involve the MC there IS NTR in the game.
(Begins to pull what little hair he has left out.)

Please, please, PLEASE let's not go around this block again. There were wars early on in this thread about this same matter, and again later, and again later. I caught (explicative deleted) when that tag WASN'T on the thread because people spewed about how "this scene has it and I hate games that have it," and then I caught just as much after someone added it, because others ranted about "hey, there's nothing in this that qualifies and I only like games that have it."

The bottom line is that there's no universal agreement around here as to what those dreaded three letters mean or don't mean. (And don't point at definitions, because that doesn't mean that everybody agrees with them. The fact that this is being raised again just proves that.)

I'm not worrying about the tag. I suggest (request) (plead) that you do the same.
