I just got around to playing the new update and I have a few questions. How do you only have 2 registered elfs when you also bought and picked up Sylvia, Nia and Ann? Wouldn't they also be registered to you? If not why?

Well, they are all registered to the hotel, not the MC, but the others are not out committing crimes, so don't need to be hidden. IF that is what you mean.

So, putting this link here:

It is an AVN bundle with 73 games (including around a dozen demos) for the price of pay what you want. Obvously it include Harem Hotel too, but as we know Harem Hotel is free regardless.

How do you only have 2 registered elfs
I asked about the same thing up-thread. All the elves in the hotel are legally bought and registered except for the one they liberated at the auction (but including Maria, whom they don't see with the drone), and Hana, whom they also don't see (and nobody would know on casual observation that she's a half-elf). Granted they're under MC's grandfather's license (because he doesn't have one), but they're all registered. I think it's a gap in the writing personally.

Per Wiki:
Upon being rescued, Cira is allowed to move into The Sanctuary alongside the other refugee elves. She is the only one that Manager does not have official, documented ownership of, thus far.
I've never understood the registered elf line. My first thought was it was referring to half-elves, but even then it doesn't make much sense. Either the Ascendents know something we don't, they're horrible at information gathering or there's some oversight either in the writing or on what I understood.

You're probably right

When I raised the issue a few pages up, it was suggested that it was deliberate disinformation to freak out Felicity. A problem, IMO, with that hypothesis is that as far as we see Felicity wasn't there yet to hear that line. We also see Kali concerned about what happens if they see the sanctuary, suggesting that she thinks something illegal is going on there--and there isn't, unless you count sheltering Nia, but nobody knows her identity at this point.

But yes, I think it's a hole in the writing. There are, from memory, five elves in the Sanctuary. Four of them are fully documented, in addition to three more (Lin, Jin, and Maria) who live in the Hotel proper--so there's just no issue with the numbers. Cira and Hana are there illegally, so if someone were checking papers and taking DNA MC would have a problem, but the "count noses" that they're doing with the drone sees fewer elves than are actually registered there. It'd probably be considered weird to have bought an elf and just have her live in this separate building doing nothing, but "weird" isn't illegal.

Felicity is the best explanation I've heard, but I still don't think it's very convincing.

Is any of those games not free, and is the money handed over to the developers or the person that markets the bundle? Anyways, the problem with these kind of games is that development speed is rather slow and very few ever get finished. I don’t see a point in trying any of them out just to wait 5-10 years for a product that entertains me for an handful of hours if it hasn’t been dropped by then tbh

Yeah, many are paid games (there are 73 games total). Almost all of them are in progress, most of them are here. This is just a way to help the devs and support their work. You can donate what you can. Seems more than fair to me.

Might be a stretch in my own thinking but I assumed that Kali not wanting them to see Sanctuary was more on how the elves were treated and less about illegal going-ons happening there. The elves live like people, don't have to wear collars and can relax and be themselves. We see very few spots where such things happen. I'm sure the MC isn't the first person to treat their slave like a decent person, but story beats have shown us that it is very few who actually own elves who do so. There are plenty of Autumns and Vanessas in the world, but very few like the MC/Grandfather. This is even true from Lin's point of view, as one of her events calls this out to Autumn, and we all know how sheltered her life has been. Hell, 3 elves kidnap the MC just at a chance at a better life, as goofy as that all went.

Is that information useful to the Ascendents? Unknown. Could it be dangerous to the MC? Possibly. Cornwell was entirely surprised at Lin's performance during the challenge simply because she cared for the MC (assuming you bothered to level her stats to win it). What could he do with the information on how the MC treats his slaves?

All conjecture and possibly wrong. Just the way I read into it though.

In universe, it could just be a need to know thing, don't give out more info than you need to.

Meta reason is that you may, or may not have done some of those other events yet.

Yeah, as long as the devs get their share, it’s still a neat idea. Thanks for sharing

I would love to see MC punching faces in the game. I wish this game had a strength/fight stat and a possibility to train them.
That'd be illegal in the setting and punching people around isn't that attractive. It always makes me cringe when the MC is a kungfu master and all the women around cream themselves over the prospect of physical violence. Hard thing to write well when you want to have grounded characters that somewhat behave like real people would.
