Sylvia - While she is improving, she needs to be humbled more, and start to pull her weight. Of all the elves in the hotel, I think she is the one who needs the dungeon most. A good leader needs to be able to see things from every perspective, from the highest born to the lowliest of the low. I have been saying for decades, that everyone, no matter who you are, should have to live off of a minimum wage job for a while, and see what it's like. But the point is, she needs to be brought down more before she can be raised up again. She could eventually gain a position of power again, but not until she been broken and rebuilt.
Lin - I agree, that she is too naive, but I think she has the best temperament, other than maybe our Desert Elf Princess. She is maturing quickly, and she is gaining valuable leadership abilities as we go. Learning not only from the mistakes of the past, but her present ones.
Nia - No, just no. Nia is a lot of things, but she might be one of the least qualified to be a queen, she does not have the temperament for it at all. Body guard to the queen, sure, but she is not even the best military leader, and fighting is what she does best. Tp be a good leader, you need to be able to make better plans then run in and start cracking skulls. She is also getting better, the more she sees that she is not alone, and she has people she can depend on, but I fear she will always be hot headed. ...At least for a long time.
Perhaps with our help, Jia can be an integral part of the rebellion, and prove herself worthy again. She was never a leader of any kind, but many people do still love her, and she knows about how the system works.
I agree with Strike that the elves need to band together at this point (united we stand, and all that), so what I am thinking is that (assuming that they don't have to all move, and live together) they have a queen, and then form a council who advises her, and represents their people's interests.
For example, Queen Lin, with Sylvia, Jia, Qiya, our favorite drow, and maybe others if we find more tribes, as her council of advisors. Each one as the representative/leader of their people.
I think this is a pretty dishonest framing on what I said. I like story in my porn games; if I just wanted porn I could get it a million other places without any of the fuss. I think adding story and characters you can get attached to makes the whole porn experience more enjoyable by adding context. The problem for me is that the story in HH gets way too lost in its lore that is, ultimately, just a kitchen sink grab bag of a bunch of different anime and video game tropes that are done better elsewhere. I don't mind that it's not "Hugo Award winning"; I don't need it to be. But if you accept that the purpose of the story is to make the porn better, then having characters drone on about their made up religion does nothing. I think we need to realistic and accept that writing in porn games is graded on a curve because we're ultimately here to get off. If you started comparing the writing in these games to others that focus solely on the narrative and characters without the concern of a horny power harem fantasy, then it's never going to go well.
Okay, and most of the rest of us love the world building, and how it keeps growing. It beats the crap out of many professional books, movies, shows, and games. I would play this before almost any so called AAA games on the market these days, and most of that is because of the lore, the character and world building. Writing in the rest of the genres are going down the shitter, while many so called 'porn' games are striving to do more.
This game is not for everyone, and that is fine, but one of the reasons it is so popular, is exactly what you are complaining about.
