It's similar to the others in that regard. There's 4 variants: platonic friends, love, friends with benefits and fear/hate.

You forgot corruption. That is not the fear/hate route (or wasn't last time I played).

I think this one is described by the game as FWB internally. Sex but without the romantic angle. E.g. for Gabby that's the "sugarbaby" route.

yeah, back to Manson rodeo, you can turn her into a fucktoy lol... I think you can turn everyone into a damn fucktoy without being abusive if this isn't abusive enough, but at least it's consensual.

Well no you can corrupt and fuck, the best example of this is Ashe.

Well, Ashe has 5 routes (her ashrel variable can range from 0-4) but only one of them is described (2: friend) In general, the only one who has a route that's explicitly marked as "corruption" is Pepper.

 

[Dessolos]

tbh I never understood the corruption path in this game , maybe cause I didn't explore enough or corruption is something I find as a weird concept in most AVN's in general where it rarely feels like corruption to me because of the pacing.

To me it feels more like good path , be an asshole or dark path. Tho I don't recall if I explored what I call the asshole path enough and maybe that is what leads to the corruption more in this game.

But Ashe likes to be treated sweet and like to be treated like whore at the same time, seems like a future LI, in this update you can only ask Niki to be the MC girlfriend, but if you don't, things start to go in Ashe's direction; Ashe is the best fuck, blonde horny pawn stereotype. The thing is, need to figure out how each girl really likes to be treated on specific occasions, like in the Jacusi, if you be all sweet with Ashe will have a positive outcome, now on the bed after that, she gets really happy by being fucked in the ass, chocked and do ATM.

Neon also has plans for A Brittani corruption path where you fuck up her audition. I suppose it could be limited to certain LIs.

Don't know about variables but it seems in Mason's case it seems to starts on the friends with benefits role that maybe later can evolve to love.
I remember Neon explaining about the sexuality part of Mason's personality and how it was based in a relationship he had with a non binary person.

 

[ShadedWilderness]

I've read some critiques of Nicki in the thread but personally I really like her. She provides a grounding to MC's past, and a symbol of your developing choices and progression.

The worst I could say about her is, at times, disliking the way in which she shows her displeasure at your darker choices (aggressively/bitchy), given her very submitted and otherwise acquiescent and subordinate relationship. I wonder if she'd have been more pallatable as a constant if she instead went more sad and vacant rather than aggressive, before turning to full commitment. Is the bitchiness the problem? To be clear, this is the sole critique that comes to mind for the focus on Nicki.

I am enjoying the ride.

Yes, he said that person was initially willing to do absolutely anything anytime and only once they got comfortable in the relationship did they start to set boundaries. So if you're on the Mason path, be prepared for him to start saying no at some point.

Nicki is my fav. I'm on the Nicki solo path so far, and I don't find her 'bitchy' really. She isn't above giving Guy a (verbal) slap if he's being stupid - which I think Guy needs at times. She's also super protective (and more than a little jealous).

Correct and incorrect. What the variable is doesn't matter, It's purpose is purely for the dev and to trigger scenes.

EVERY character had a corruption/humilation/Extortion route (or did last I played which was [Ch. 8 v0.57]) providing that route had actually started as some characters had not even started any route at all.

Holy shit, that's commitment.Respect. I've been busily adding my cocksnot to cute receptacles throughout. IRL, I'm much more careful (thanks Mom), thus the VN gaming (plus now married with fam).

After stewing on it for a day, I decided to redo this image and get rid of the AI element. Thanks for keeping me honest. :'D

Does a romance with Mason end poorly? Even the good option is kinda taking advantage of him

Nah, there's a possible happy ending with Mason. I totally get why people read ill intent into the Mason relationship, but if you're nice (or even just not a dick..) to him he'll throw himself at you like, three different times. The first time can be confused as him trying to uphold what he sees as his end of a quid-pro-quo, but after that I think it's safe to say Mason's just into the player. Plus, some of Mason's behavior can be explained by the link between autism and hypersexual behavior.

Dude, I still can't stop thinking about that beautiful sex scene with Mason where we made love. I mean you even gave us the option to eat his arse and let him act dominant, I loved that so much.

The whole scene and update was simply superb, and I can't wait to see what you do with some of my other favourites like Pepper.
