Was some fan art from discord, feel free. Here is the other with the same meme.

Also, those were not real cops, or something like that. No badges or something, IIRC, they could have just stolen some uniforms. If they WERE real cops, they were not on duty, and did NOT want to be identified by their precinct with their names and badge numbers. Those were sent by F&E's dad.

thank you

Minor side-jack but I don't think that's true anymore. Our fairies took out that one that discovered Slyvia was still alive, so there's a good chance if more come they're gone too unless it was in numbers. What intel the queen was getting on the hotel has to have diminished greatly once the source of her power was discovered to not actually be hers(it was her command over the fairies).

I'm a bit forgetful on her so maybe I'm forgetting something, but I don't think she'll help unless she thinks she's getting something out of it. She didn't strike me as an altruist like Nia - she wants her power, she wants her servants and she wants to be able to show that off to anyone in an effort to keep it. It was one of the reasons she wanted information on weapons.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me if some fairies start to abandon her once they discover they can be free like the hotel's fairies are. That would be an added benefit to the cause considering virtually no one knows they exist. While it isn't a 1:1 comparison, the fairies own struggles don't seem entirely different than the Elves struggles vs humans. They serve and attempt to garner favor with a person who holds their lives literally in her hand - there's little reason to believe that all of them want to be there.

The hotel's fairies bailed on her to save a friend and scratching post house.

Also, Android can see them as well, and now that she knows what to look for, she is more likely to do something about it. IIRC, she just thought they were bugs before.

I always assumed they were just crooked cops, but I don't think it's been clarified in the story.

No, we don't know for sure, they might be crooked or fake, either way, they are connected to the rest of the stuff in F&E's story, the gangs, their dad, the drugs, braking bad, etc.

It's a huge blow to the Queen's influence over the MC in that regards. Simply knowing they exist is an extremely huge knock on her power. Runey could write it so strategy discussions aren't in a public room / Android+Fairies do a "sweep for bugs" and who knows what else. While she could still attack using the fairies, she runs risks of losing fairies which would reduce her overall power. We don't know how vast the fairy population is but considering they seem to predominantly live on the Island, they can't be a super force otherwise the Queen would already be using them as one and wouldn't be looking to use "human" weapons as an alternative.

Saving the elves for the world wouldn't be enough for the Queen, as she'll want to be their leader. I'm sure some would go for the chance to live with other elves, but once they realize they basically traded a human heel for an elven one, eventually word would get out. Queen gains little by helping the MC if she can't remain in power or has some insane level personality shift.

I'm not sure what Runey's plans are for her, but I always kinda took her for basically a power hungry idiot. She'll do what she can to keep power, but long term she'll likely be a self-fulfilling prophecy who causes her own downfall.

And if we do something to get more infrared sensors/visors/etc. like using the bots, leaking to the military to use their goggles, they lose most of their effectiveness. Without their invisibility advantage, they are not going to be too useful in a battle. We have flamethrowers and shit, after all.

I agree, the HE queen will need to be deposed or convinced that her survival is at stake. She is still pretty full of herself, and thinks she has an advantage, but she has no idea what she is up against (we kept it vague on purpose). If she goes against us, her losses would be immeasurable, androids/robots equipped with Infrared/UV and flame throwers would just devastate her forces, elf and fairy alike (not to mention their homes and the surrounding forest).

I always assumed we would depose her, take over (or have her replaced with someone we trust), and the only power she would have would be if she tries to resist cumming or gets a spanking.

Even though it kinda goes against the narrative, she was the perfect candidate for slave training under the MC. Not my preferred body type, but likely to be a wasted asset at this point since I see zero chance in her being a love interest.

Whether the queen gained anything or not, would depend on her actions.
Under the right circumstances, the elves there could simply replace that queen with Sylvia.
She is of royal blood.
She would be on good terms with the new leader of the human population in Syl'anar and far more likely to get them the peace and freedom that they desire.

Definitely. We'd have to make the fairies public to the elven population first though to basically neutralize her power over populace - we don't currently know if the fairies want to remain hidden or not on the island do we? The fairies stand to lose a huge advantage over... well everyone, if they're exposed. So we'd likely need to curry favor with them in that event. Once that's done, Queen is basically done. Either turns over a new leaf or is replaced (which I'm in favor of, doesn't deserve a redemption arc)

Might not need to expose them publicly, but rather get the friendly ones to subvert the others by telling them that they would have a better future by siding with, and supporting the MC and giving their support to Sylvia.
Once the queen loses their support she is screwed, and not in a good way.

Keeping public knowledge of them out of the question, will give the MC and the others great intel of what the government is doing.

True but I don't see the hotel fairies leaving to do that, they put themselves into great risk being isolated and potentially surrounded by enemies and one is already not at full strength. Ideally we need some to peacefully visit, leaving "unsure" and starting rumors or something so that it spreads on it's own - keeping ours safe from harm and having the same cause/effect reaction.

Or maybe that one fairy that wants MC's dick finally finds a way and temptation just brings the rest over. MC's greatest power is getting laid, that's gotta help somehow, right?

Well, the character Belle in the game LLTP solved that problem by wrapping her arms and legs around the MC's dick and grinding on it.
Fun was had by both parties, with a messy, sticky conclusion.
I have been kind of hoping to see that happen here too.
It is a viable alternative.
And I am sure that the android would enjoy watching that too.

Android watching cameras: Hey, what is going on with MC?
Android: Zooms in for a better look.
Android seeing what is happening: uuuum, now that is kinky....
Android: Presses record button.

Except that by then, Sylvia won't be able to live without the manager's dick, so will have to rule from the harem. XD

The best way would be to capture the next fairy who comes calling, rather than popping her, and trying and start recruiting that way.

You know, I can't help but imagine the Manager taking Sylvia down to the dungeon and having her do a squirtathon. Just breaking her with orgasm after orgasm and he makes her lick his hand clean of all her juices.

That would be fun.

They could deal with that by making frequent diplomatic visits.

Oh yeah, I am good at ...dicklomacy!

 

[DigDug69]

We make our guesses, and Runey likely reads them and giggles, or screams WHAT THE FUBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEP are they thinking!?!?!?!?!?!?!
But, we all know exactly what is going to happen in the game.

Whatever Runey decides is going to happen.

Giving ideas and inspiration... honest......

I read some reviews here and honestly all of them wanted to point at one thing...

They needed more fap no story. Its sad because the story is interesting. I mean theres a lot of porn in the net go there lols instead of downloading the game.

I understand the story isn't going to be everyone's jam and while I do wish there were more sandbox sexy times, there is still a lot of repeatable content and gallery unlocks (and more being added) that if you just waned to rub one out and move on you can. It's not like it's a 10 hour game with 2 scenes or that you have to play for the same time to get your first scene. Depending on how fast you read, you're getting tits in your face within 20-30mins which is far better than some VN/games on this site.

They can use the skip button if they can't be bothered to enjoy the ride.

Its a game, not a book or movie. The idea is it should be interactive with interresting decisions and consequences. And reading a story is 5-10 minutes without any interation is boring. I can tolerate story in a game as long as it motivates me to play towards some goal or explains gameplay mechanics.

But in Harem Hotel the story serves only one purpose - tell a story. It is disconnected from the game itself. Let me explain:

1 - every time you try to progress the story - you just click on "Talk" option. Its not an informed decision. You never know what your character will do or what consequences will be. As for me, progressing Maria to lvl 31 was like stepping on a land mine: unexpectedly one of my residents is removed and I dont know what to do next, except progressing the story and hope that she will return somehow.

2 - everything told in a story is useless in game. - What use do I have, knowing that Emma wants to become a vet? At first I thought that sanctuary will be some kind of animal shelter for fairies. What was the purpose of building a garden? Lin mentioned that she wants a garden, but after building it I have no special interactions there. Well, repeatable interactions. Instead, I have repetable sex scene in a bar, which is unexpected.

3 - game mechanics are not explained in a story. - As you know every girl has special "achievements", like becoming a nympho or submissive. But there is no explanation what benefits you will get of these. I keep guessing what are the requirements for making one of them my morning alarm, it seem to happen randomly. Same goes for lust - I dont know, if its possible to trigger lust events by doing something, it happens randomly. Having a guide in a story will be more helpful, compared to reading about local gods.

4 - game stats are ignored in a story. - Story events are not locked by some stats like affection\money, they are like chapters in a book, you just need to read the previous ones.

5 - story UI is lacking. - When I had to pay for something - I dont know how much money I have. Money panel is shown only when game is in sandbox mode.
