I think its probably more acceptable for who came later. I started playing in 2022. waiting for ch.7, are you guys playing since the beggining? Because I'd be probably be losing it by now too lmao I actually started playing avn's in general in 2022, so most of the blueballing is annoying but bearable I suppose.
I've been following this since it got un-sandboxed, and I think the groping and making out is a highlight of this VN. Oddly, a lot of VNs don't give a lot of attention to that, and I'm glad that this dev puts a lot of effort into making it look hot. The teasing/groping/intimacy are kind of a staple for this VN. It's this dev's style, and I enjoy the fuck out of every minute of it. There's a lot of vaginal content with Kylee anyway and the Ch9 Kylee/Mia scene was probably the hottest in the VN so far. So I really don't get why some people are complaining. This update was incredible.
Besides, I'm not sure I'd call this update "blueballing". To me "blueballing" is a femdom thing where the girl
intentially leaves the dude without a pop as a dominance kink. That wasn't the case here. This update was more like circumstantial edging. MC was getting interrupted a lot because he was literally trying to horn on all the girls at a public beach. He eventually got his pop in the end anyway, though I don't know how he didn't blow a hole through the back of Stephanie's neck after getting edged for 2 hours straight.
If some people aren't into teasing/edging, then I can see why they're disappointed... but then, this game isn't for them if they're gonna be that butthurt about it.
