It's not good writing if you aren't shown it.
This right here.
There are some things we just don't want to see, let alone participate in. It's perfectly good writing to gloss over unpleasant things if it would bring the mood down too much.
While this is
technically true, it's also false. The writer pens the story (literally) he or she wants to weave for the reader / audience. It may be something you dislike or find unpleasant, but that's life.
Suggesting the writer censor themselves because you feel uncomfortable is never going to work. They're either going to ignore you and suggest you move on to something else, or, if they for some reason acquiesce, the story itself will suffer because all of a sudden they can't do what they want and their heart isn't in it anymore. Guaranteed.
Runey has managed to write extremely compelling characters and a story into a game to the point where I'm actually emotionally invested in them to an extent (as much as you can be for fictional characters). I mean, to use the Cornwall thing as an example, I legitimately got mad during that street encounter. I wanted to punch that fucker out and curb stomp him at first. "Motherfucker, NOBODY messes with my Lin!" was my thought process at the time.
If Lin (or any of the girls') stories had been all sunshine, rainbows, and bunnies I doubt I would have felt that protective urge. That's more than just good writing, at least in my opinion.
No, there is and never will be NTR in the game
