The neutral territories definitely are a bit lacking in the writing department, I wont disagree with that. That said, I was talking about just the giantesses, which there are none associated with neutral territory, and because of that it's unlikely we'll ever get a super deep dive into them, given that we only learn about places that have giantesses associated with them. I definitely agree that neutral territory should be expanded upon, because they drop hints that it's deeper than "here be people you can squish with impunity", most of all in Eliete's route with the guy- at least the way I interpreted it- so traumatized, so filled with (understandable) hatred towards giantesses due to their overwhelming might that leaves a grown man impotent and helpless in comparison that he just wails on her foot with a sword that can't hope to harm her, just to try to take some bit of power back. So long as no giantesses are associated with it though, I doubt it'll ever be developed too deeply.I would contend nearly all of the content with the people from neutral territories is as bad/worse in terms of quality. They all come across as the generic antagonist tropes when we've actually encountered them, which given the past few pages of the thread delving into valid reasons why they'd hate giantess being discussed, its a bit disappointing we don't have any content exploring that. (Maybe Pyeka's path with taking back her Empire, (plausibly a neutral land now?) could be a way to delve into that).
But getting back to Seinaru in particular, I liked the very concept of her trying to help MC get somewhat stronger, at least in so far as a human is concerned. I think that's an angle to the entire game that is horribly missed out on, that even if the overall lore is MC is helpless vs fullsize (especially guardians), at least he could get to a state where an accidental stepping on him, or boobs swung into him by a giantess turning around while on a table wont kill him.
Perhaps the eventual path Val-Klis's route with potions will lead with MC being able to consume a potion/tonic to help his ability to survive, but in general that path being dropped really was disappointing for me personally, especially when I seemed to be the only subscriber back then who wanted to see more. (When I realized I spent more on this game in two years than I did on DLC for EU4 in 10....).
As for Seinaru, I like that too, but I think that Helga does it better, with how she words it too- when MC asks what the point of even training is, because he can never hope to match a giantess and she replies "I could never hope to match a Guardian, but that's no reason not to push myself to my limits- besides, you can do things that I never could, like chase a thief down a narrow alleyway." She's so endearing and upbeat, and inspirational too it almost makes me want to haul my ass to the gym and get some gains for Helga.
As for the Vai'klis comment, was that a vote or something, I'm curious what you meant.
