Ren! Thanks!
Thats pretty close for me, I really do suck at remembering names. Especially ones that are not regulars.
Even if he was willing to do that to us, I don't think Runey would do that to Ashley. The poor girl has already been through hell, and is finally starting to heal. If anything, I think it would just turn into a case of not being able to find Ren or her no longer being alive.
Sure; Ren is probably not 100% the way Ashley remembers, adults rarely are when it comes to kids memories, but I don't think Runey would kick Ash that hard.
This is supposed to be at some point during the journey [metaphorically speaking of course] more of a wholesome situation with the MC and the main cast. That is the MC is a good person, and despite a few problems or issues relating to saving the elves and those girls tied up [no pun intended!] everything is more or less happy / fun situation in which most if not all of the girls find themselves in with the MC even if it might seem the contrary at certain times, the girls never seem to shy away with anything they generally say if they are not happy etc. If they aren't happy they will let you know is my experience.
There is an alternative game to this, or rather another game in this franchise in which the MC is a bastard to the elf girls, the complete and utter opposite to how this character is in Harem Hotel. I hated that game and deleted it off my ssd instantly. So given that game is now a thing, in it's infancy (I am assuming it's still being worked on) I would hope to say Runey isn't one of those devs to hurt his playerbase (emotionally), and that kind of thing would be in the other game.
Given he hasn't done this thus far, I am fairly confident he won't for the remainder of this game either. We have come a fairly longish way in the game so far. Liberation of the elves is obviously something that is going to continue going forward, hence the secret rooms in the hotel where the few elves are staying.
The thing I like about this game, is not the sex, it's the stories behind the girls themselves i like. Each girl has an interesting or sad story to tell once you get to know her over time. It makes the experience of playing this game all the more interesting, because there is always going to be someone whose background makes me want to stay around and find out more and more about them and any new girls that come along. The writing is excellent. The game is sooooo good. Sure there is some grinding to be done, but it's actually pretty easy to make money, through various interesting ways.
I'd say let Runey continue with the stories he is telling us, on his own terms in his own ways without us telling what we want. He hasn't let us down yet, and he isn't going to in the future either. I have so far found nothing that has bored me at all in this game. Given how big the game is so far, that is testament to how well the game and writing have been. It's a wholesome game with wholesome characters. Each girl has a personality and story behind herself. I will be quite sad when it comes to an end, I just hope this game can continue to grow as much as possible and last as long as possible. Gems like this are rare in a minefield of dead / abandoned / garbage games.
