Kali as a virgin would fit what we otherwise see about her, I agree. Her having had sex--even consensual sex--would also make sense, IMO; she'd likely be easy prey for someone who wanted to take advantage of an insecure girl. She easily could have had a one-night stand, whether or not she understood it to be one at the time. So I don't think "Kali isn't a virgin," as far as it goes, contradicts the rest of what we know about her.Yet she's no longer a virgin? That's a blatant contradiction, isn't it?
Ugh. No accounting for taste, I guess. I actually don't mind her as a character, but really don't like her as a LI.Ashley
To be honest, I don't really care whether Kali is a virgin or not. What bothers me is that Kali's family believes the protagonist took her virginity. (Though it's clear the protagonist—or rather, the author—doesn't seem to care.)Kali as a virgin would fit what we otherwise see about her, I agree.

But this combination does seem contradictory:
A possible resolution:
- She knows she needs a dick to orgasm
- suggests she's had a non-negligible amount of dick
- She's never had an orgasm from intercourse before
- How then did she orgasm with a dick, consistently enough to "know" she needs one?
- Perhaps it's that she hadn't been able to orgasm with the guy in control? Which is why she started as she did?
I don't know that this perfectly fits what we're told, but it's at least close.
- Kali has had a few boyfriends
- Due to her insecurity, and in an unsuccessful attempt to keep them, she had sex with them early in the relationship
- In doing so, she found she could climax when she was on top, but not when he was in control
- Luci, not seeing Kali with anyone for long, or going on many dates, incorrectly assumes she hasn't had sex with any of them

Early game's writing is all over the place tbh. I hope Runey goes over it again at some point to smooth out these inconsistencies, along with scenes that happen when certain characters shouldn't be there, but it'll probably take a good while until then.Additionally, there's a plot inconsistency. When Lin made popcorn for Kali and it ended up being a disaster, Lin was punished by being forced to lick Kali's pussy. In that scene, Kali clearly didn't climax. Yet during the protagonist's date with Kali, she claims it was the first time a girl had ever brought her to orgasm.
Kali refuses to date her ex-boyfriends, but she'll sleep with them. Dude, if you're saying that, that's fucking weird.Kali as a virgin would fit what we otherwise see about her, I agree.

- Kali has had a few boyfriends

Why is it a problem that Luci incorrectly believes this? We don't see any indication at all of what her dad thinks (if anything, we see that he isn't particularly interested in the question), other than that she's pretty serious about him.What bothers me is that Kali's family believes the protagonist took her virginity.
I'm not saying anything like that. They would have had sex while they were together, obviously. I mean, people do have sex with exes, but that's not what I'm suggesting.Kali refuses to date her ex-boyfriends, but she'll sleep with them. Dude, if you're saying that, that's fucking weird.
The key word here is "insane."Ashley, a girlfriend who's insanely obsessed
Because everything I've mentioned is already explicitly stated in the plot. For instance, Kali's sister believes the protagonist took Kali's virginity. Also, Kali rejected her ex-boyfriend's date invitation. Now, Kali's virginity wasn't taken by the protagonist. As for what exactly happened to Kali, the author hasn't clarified. (All these are plot points from the game)Why is it a problem that Luci incorrectly believes this?

As the game goes on, it's easier to understand why she is the way she is. I feel bad for her, and I'm even coming to like her as a character. But I'm really not interested in being with her.
Essentially, it's the author's choice. Characters like Kali share this trait—take Lin, for instance (a virgin slave girl who'd served multiple masters over centuries). Honestly, character design is entirely at the author's discretion. He could have easily made Lin a 20-year-old newly born elf, yet he deliberately chose the most controversial characterization.Why is it a problem that Luci incorrectly believes this?

But he's nonetheless an ex-boyfriend. So maybe:Kali rejected her ex-boyfriend's date invitation
Bro, you really should revisit that scene. You're here making wild assumptions—why not just play the game? You should revisit Kali and her sister's conversation.But he's nonetheless an ex-boyfriend. So maybe:
Yes, I'm making assumptions--I think they're reasonable ones given what we're told; you seem to disagree. OTOH, you're taking Luci's statements as absolute fact, and I don't believe there's any reason to do that--indeed, I think there's good reason not to. To use the example I just quoted from you, if Luci is to believed as an absolute statement, Kali at at least one point had a boyfriend with whom she never went on a date. That just doesn't make any sense. So is there a way to understand this that does make sense? Yes, there is--it's that Luci was speaking generally, not absolutely.
- Luci's just mistaken here
- Luci's lying here
- Luci wasn't speaking in absolutes
By Kali's account, she and Luci hadn't been close for some time. That further suggests that Luci's knowledge and/or understanding of Kali's social life may be incorrect and/or incomplete.
So when you combine
I think my assumptions make a lot of sense, and they're consistent with what Luci's saying.
- Luci is known to be wrong about Kali's being a virgin
- Luci is likely speaking generally, not absolutely, about Kali's dating habits
- Luci and Kali haven't been all that close for the past few years, so Luci may not know as much as she thinks she knows about Kali's social life
Could Runey have done a better job with Kali's back story? I agree he could have. But I don't think it's as contradictory as you're making out.
I have, but I'll admit it's been a while. And there's no easy way to go back to random points in the game. I remember the event pretty well, but obviously not verbatim. So, fine, show me the dialogue that proves me wrong.why not just play the game?
She's had sex, right? Before MC? We do agree on that, right? If that's the case, then with whom? "A boyfriend" seems like the obvious answer. But, ah,why are you fixated on Kali's ex-boyfriends?
Well, because this is literally the first time I've seen it suggested. While they exist IRL, they're considerably less common than female ones. We haven't seen any hint of their existence (though we have seen female prostitutes, female sexbots, and female elves as sex slaves) in the world where HH takes place. All of which are pretty good reasons, I think, that the idea wouldn't just immediately leap to mind. Would she do that? Eh, maybe. Would it help her self-image any? Probably not. But if those are the competing guesses about where her sexual experience (such as it is) came from, I think "a boyfriend" is a more reasonable guess than "a male prostitute."Why not consider the male prostitute theory?
Bro, you've been arguing with me this whole time. And now you tell me you haven't even played the game in ages? So you've been countering me based on your hazy memories and wild assumptions?I have, but I'll admit it's been a while. And there's no easy way to go back to random points in the game.

For what it's worth, you aren't really assuming information so much as speculating it based off of archetype tropes and what we're told in the game. Personally, I have no idea why 宇宙人 is so hellbent on this being an issue other having to make certain assumptions about their fascination with Ashley...But he's nonetheless an ex-boyfriend. So maybe:

He never said that, he said "in a while". Also, nothing he said or assumed so far is inconsistent with what's in the game, I don't know why you're calling his memory into question.And now you tell me you haven't even played the game in ages?
Now that's an ass pull if I've ever seen one.Male prostitutes aren't far-fetched, and they perfectly explain Kali's initial dominant sex position and why she never climaxed before. After all, as a paying client, she naturally dictated the terms—but that meant missing out on what she truly needed: rough sex. It wasn't until her first brutal encounter with the protagonist that she finally experienced her first orgasm. (Your ex-boyfriend theory is absurd precisely because of this.)
You really need to work on your reading comprehension. I haven't played that scene in some time (because that was the context in which you wrote "just play the game," which is what I quoted). No, I don't replay the game, start to finish, when a new update comes out. Yes, I've played through the latest update.And now you tell me you haven't even played the game in ages?
Yes. If you think the game's content proves me wrong, you should be able to show me where. Screen shots are easy (if it's so easy for me to replay the event that I should just see it for myself, it's no less easy for you to replay the event to make your case), or you could even quote it. It's not my job to dig through 14 GB of content to make your case for you.You want me to prove it?
It has one example of this. That it's any kind of a regular thing is another of those assumptions that apparently it's OK for you to make, but not me.The game features male elf slaves treated as female playthings
Interesting. False confidence/bravado is a common way to deal with insecurity (which Kali definitely has), so that fits.another option is Lucie is telling the truth and Kali is talking out of her ass.
