Finished all the stories and its actually the greatest compliment that it wasnt till i finished all of them and came here to discuss them that i thought "hang on - we really dialled up the story and down the sex and i dont even mind!" lol. The game does feel darker as a result though - a weird transition from seeing how things are turning out for all the characters to then ask someone else for a cheery blowjob in the kitchen all whilst this is going on with the girls (actually roleplayed Kali coming to door fuelled by lust after seeing some of them and telling her to fuck off and edging her as i would assume as the MC i too would be angry with events happening around me).
Lins story is really going places though and i have to admit im enjoying the story a lot more (though i always was anyway) now more of them kinda overlap. Things are getting cohesive as Lin is pushing an agenda, Khali has the skills to make things happen, Autumn an influencer in making regarding the new approach to the religion/elves and Android in all likelyhood will be the tool to start it all, even Nia and the other slaves are blending in organically to the story (and likely other side characters like Vanessa). Obv each is gonna all have their own hardships along the way to stall things but were really picking up the pace and it seems everyone is kinda getting to be on the same wavelengths.
Naturally ive no idea how Runey plans to incorporate the Twins and Ashely into this bigger driving arc narrative wise as its clear to see why Marie and her sister would now be invested im not sure about them as besides her being a close friend of all three they are not directly affected by all of this at all. Itll be interesting to see where Runey takes them next in the story (though Twins have their own issues between each other to resolve first and foremost i dont think Ashley has much left to resolve as she is in a much happier place but i guess as many request finding Rin again could be the key which ignites her investment into this main story arc).
Normally id consider ranking my fave stories and perhaps explain my least faves after an update but i felt i liked them all equally. I thought this would be a very heavy side character update but besides Kate which ive not checked out yet Slyiva (i play Slave routes) offering great potential and Moon wanting a visit i dont recall much actually happening outside the main narrative girls. As such yeah it was a very heavy LI update but one which was probably the best weve had in a long time, that was a high hurdle to clear but hes managed it here (much better than last update and just slighty better than the one before it where revamping old content really amplified the storytelling IMO - i really should start a slave route playthrough to see the whole content as well as any revamped scenes from this update and last).
Final thoughts: I cant help however that the MC is kinda getting in over his head. He has allies of massive influence and makes more weekly with his escapades but we learned quickly this is literally poking the bear with other bigger players like phoning Cornwall (irrational and needless, consequences im sure will be there for that not to mention he aint being polite with Khali's dad... lets not be burning bridges MC eh?) and literally poking the bear with the government. As such it feels at this stage weve scaled back the building of influence and planning carefully ahead to sticking our head above the parapet and playing a david vs goliath scenario. With Lins story events i get it, with other ones (im trying to be spoiler free) i dont agree with the MCs actions even if i get why he did them. Also despite being one of first story events i checked out the Queen Jia looking for a husband still left my jaw on the floor, where is Runey going with that revelation? i cant wait to see for myself. 10/10 update even if i should deduct a point for how many annoying cliffhangers he threw at us with this one! haha
