there are other great games on the website you can play in the meantime. If you want some recommendations i can send you a small listUpdate......UPDATEEEEEEEEE!
Half of the last update reads like someone's blue haired aunt on a twitter rant. I'd like less of that and more of a continuation of the actual storyline of the main girls.There are multiple story threads in this game, all of which seems to heading toward the same point. I assume you are trolling, because the stories are all interconnected, and the only way to miss that is to be holding down the control key during all the dialog.
You're arguing with a strawman. No one said slavery was anything but bad, yet youre here defending caricatures so out of touch they own a penthouse in L.A.I love how people are mad about a game that has as one of it's messages "Slavery is bad". I wonder what that says about these people, not that I would like to imply anything.
Also, about your "cops ready to shoot a bunch of young women point". "Cringe and ridiculous" lmao, like it would never happen in real life. It is not like cops use excessive force constantly or anything, right? It is not like we have documented history about cops shooting into civilian crowds with both lethal and non-lethal methods all over the fucking world, right? It is all a big insane delusion that would only happen in a game.
I don't tend to judge people on their fetishes, I am on a porn game website, after all. People are allowed to lick whatever they want, some like a popsicle, some like a dick, but I will never understand why people like so much to lick the boots of cops. I mean, if it gets you off, good for you, I guess, but you don't need to get all anger when people don't depict cops as angels of morals and law, because, you know, that wouldn't be a very realistic depiction. If you want copaganda go watch a cop show or some shit.
And I'd like to see you actually post with real criticism and feedback to support it than whatever garbage this post is. For regulars, there isn't a single person who wouldn't make the effort to engage in meaningful conversation if you actually put an effort in.Half of the last update reads like someone's blue haired aunt on a twitter rant.

Lin is out of touch with reality (the primary person responsible for many of the current events). A point that is repeatedly shown throughout her story. She's naive, but this whole storyline is also about her eventual growth and hopefully understanding/coming to terms.You're arguing with a strawman. No one said slavery was anything but bad, yet youre here defending caricatures so out of touch they own a penthouse in L.A.
To be fair, the description on the front page doesn't really warn you for the content of the story. Like we so often repeat - "came for the porn, stayed for the story" but little of that notion is actually presented on the front page. I feel your warning isn't going to be appreciated by them.Harem Hotel is not about hooking up with the girls and creating a Harem.
It has a story, and that story is about freeing the elves (and the soon to be sentient androids).
All of the stuff with the girls is simply a part of that larger story.
So, get used to the idea of there being releases that focus more on the visual novel story involving freeing the elves and androids, and less on the dating aspect.
Everyone may be a bit too busy with the main story to have much time for dating.
Although, there will likely still be some dating, but there is a bigger story unfolding...
That is true, it does not, but the concept is brought out pretty early, in game, and builds from there.To be fair, the description on the front page doesn't really warn you for the content of the story.

The internet has shown me this isn't possibleso people need to learn to understand that.
That is so sadly true.The internet has shown me this isn't possible
I fear your own politics are getting in the way of enjoying the story.Half of the last update reads like someone's blue haired aunt on a twitter rant. I'd like less of that and more of a continuation of the actual storyline of the main girls.
You're not showing anything new or mind blowing. Those arguments were used by Russian nobility to oppose the abolition of serfdom and by african kings to defend selling slaves to americans (it's the driving force of our economy, it's built into our culture, it'd be too expensive to change, what would those people do without us?, etc). It's a shitty point of view and most people have long since acknowledged that. What the developer did was draw a parallel between irl blm protests and protests against elf slavery in the way they described the protesters, exaggerated the aggressiveness of the police, and talked about defacing historical monuments of an uncomfortable past.
To me that's a bit derivative, and as someone who lives in one of the largest cities on the east coast, I personally saw entire blocks of businesses looted and destroyed because of "they have insurance (probably)" mentality. There was a period of time where every store downtown had wooden planks over the windows to stop people from shattering them. Its not something I want to see depicted herocially in a visual novel. But whatever, this isnt the place to talk about american politics. I just wanted to explain my reasoning since people keep making asinine assumptions.
Please, just stop. Everything you write reads like the rantings of a 13yo obsessed andrew taint fan. Take your daft arguments back to whatever twitter or reddit echo chamber you normally live in and stop flooding the forum pages here with this nonsense. Please.*snip snip snip*
This is really well said, thank you for paying so much attention to the storyI fear your own politics are getting in the way of enjoying the story.
There are multiple stories here that represent various paths to try to change the system.
Vanessa represents an ally of the oppressed class, willing to fight the system with non-violence on behalf of those who would face death for the same protest if they were part of the oppressed class. Lin represents a member of the oppressed class fighting back with non-violence and by trying to show the greater society why they should not be looked down on and wants to change the whole society. Nia is a member of the oppressed class willing to use violence, but still works within the confines of the system, by saving others from the worst parts but not focussing on overthrowing the whole system. Lin and Vanessa think they can fight the system and win the war, Nia thinks you can only win selected battles because the war was won by the oppressors a long time ago.
Kali represents the technocratic approach. By signing on to build the elfbot, she is hoping to provide a safer way for elves to survive. They won't be slaves, but they will still be needed. Maria is there to fight for the rights of the half elves, who have no protections in the system at all and can be legally subjected to abuses that elves can't be. She just wants the rights she had before her DNA relegated her to a non-entity in society. Autumn represents the religious approach. Her church doesn't walk the walk, it is just talk, and while they don't approve of slavery, they don't see elves as equals, but Autumn herself is beginning to see that they are. Android represents a true AI, one that could be the answer to the problems or a true destroyer of worlds.
Vanessa is a continuation of the story of the main girls because she is part of the fight for change. Even Moon has the potential to be a key part of the storyThere are hints about the role the twins will play too. The over-arching story is the game.You don't have permission to view the spoiler content. Log in or register now.
Harem Hotel isn't about American politics, though it is where I was born so it makes sense that things would be more american centric. Harem Hotel is about imperialism and its consequences (within this context). In other words, foreigners telling you what to do and how to act. Or boiled down to it's basics, Harem Hotel is about Freedom. Every character, whether they are main or side, is oppressed by someone with more power and it's our protagonist's story to take their own power and gain autonomy. Assuming my writing and this story is built off the past 6 years of American politics and not the past 500 years of imperialism only shows a lack of historical knowledge. Social Justice isn't a new concept, it's one of the reasons the Boston Tea Party happened. The colonists had no representation, let alone the natives. It's also one of the reasons the French Revolution happened, or why so many countries abolished monarchies. The People want equality, no one likes feeling like a peasant. If you hear "Social Justice" and your knowledge of the subject only goes back to as far as 2015 with the blue haired college brats, you should pick up a history book. The People just want to be happy and live their own lives free of oppression. (I'm not directing this at you btw, I'm speaking generally)hmmm, fringe American politics, from 158 years ago.
I do not see any problems at all with a game being based on history.
Although, admittedly, there are some not very bright people in the world, that still refuse to believe that the south lost the civil war, who are expecting it to rise again...
but still, that political issue was resolved 158 years ago, and it is now history.
Fair game for anyone to use as a plot devise in a game, because it is not a current, ongoing issue.
As for how the pro slavery people act?
I think it is spot on, and accurate as hell...
Many people who know that what they are doing is wrong, but they are doing it anyway, get very abusive and confrontational, when they are called out on it.
Look back at some of the documents released by the confederacy, just before the civil war as an example of that.
From the Texas state secession papers, released February 2, 1861.
Just before the start of the Civil War...
Examples of how they acted, and their attitudes.
" We hold as undeniable truths that the governments of the various States, and of the confederacy itself, were established exclusively by the white race, for themselves and their posterity; that the African race had no agency in their establishment; that they were rightfully held and regarded as an inferior and dependent race, and in that condition only could their existence in this country be rendered beneficial or tolerable. "
And in this part, they try to explain it all away, as being good for the slaves.
" That in this free government all white men are and of right ought to be entitled to equal civil and political rights; that the servitude of the African race, as existing in these States, is mutually beneficial to both bond and free, and is abundantly authorized and justified by the experience of mankind, and the revealed will of the Almighty Creator, as recognized by all Christian nations; while the destruction of the existing relations between the two races, as advocated by our sectional enemies, would bring inevitable calamities upon both and desolation upon the fifteen slave-holding States. "
Clearly, they react exactly like the pro slavery characters in Harem Hotel...

You've moved to Europe? Welcome from one of those.Things have settled down on my end though. I've fully moved to Europe and can start working. I'll let the rest of you deal with the 2024 election
Thank fuck for this response. People nowadays are acting like concepts of equality, social justice, revolution and etc are new things invented by Twitter in the last 10 years.Social Justice isn't a new concept, it's one of the reasons the Boston Tea Party happened. The colonists had no representation, let alone the natives. It's also one of the reasons the French Revolution happened, or why so many countries abolished monarchies. The People want equality, no one likes feeling like a peasant.

I had a few a while back, but I believe that they were self inflicted, because I focused more on some girls than others.DigDug69 Thanks for the review! Proper reviews are always appreciated. Which continuity issues have you run into?
