Just finished the last episode. Even though I miss the intimate scenes, I was really engaged in the story. I’m looking forward to the next part!!

I try to just skim posts for a few days after each update. It's relentless and annoying.
What visual novel have I seen the character Victoria in, I can swear I've seen her all the way down to the nide ring
It's always the same after a new update, I'm always glad when the casuals leave and the fans stay. It's the same for pretty much every game on here.I try to just skim posts for a few days after each update. It's relentless and annoying.

It's because they don't give a damn about the story, they aren't invested in it like we are. They just want to see tits and ass and fucking, whether it makes sense to the story or the character or not.
I am fine with waiting for sex, but can you point out where the emma, suzi relationships progressed in any meaningful way, besides a couple thoughts or glances? Can you point out why Charlotte is still in the same place pretty much as previous chapters, just a couple more kisses or touching. Rhe main story moves forward, while rhe relationships do not, is the problem. You say the story needs to make sense, you know who can do that, the dev, I write too, it is up to the writer and dev to make sense when writing the story, and as of now the dev has failed in making these relationships move forward imo.
If you can't see what a huge step it is for Charlotte to want to embrace and kiss the MC, then I don't know what to tell you.
Emma I don't see as anything other than a daughter and tbh thinking of her any other way just grosses me out a bit, so honestly no romantic progression with Emma is fine with me. But each to their own I guess.
Suzi has been at uni and we didn't exactly get off to the best start with her, but now that she is back at home I'm sure that we will see their relationship progress.
At the end of the day this game for me has always been about the slow burn romance with Charlotte. Helping her deal with and heal from the traumas of her past with patience, love and support. This game isn't going to be for everyone and it seems like maybe this game isn't for you, or isn't giving you what you are looking for so move on maybe?
This game is not just about charlotte. I love Charlotte but this game has 4 love interests. Just because you can't see Emma as a Love interest, doesn't mean everyone thinks that way. The dev could of made Suzi come back sooner, but, the dev could of changed some things for Emma, but no. News flash this isn't a one love interest story that you are playing, their are choices, this story isn't only about Charlotte like you seem to think and play. And don't tell me what game is and isn't for me, this game is for me, I just want what is best for it, which is progression in relationships.

I don't know about you but I loved how subtle Charlotte's progression was in the update. Went from barley being able to give him a kiss to getting 2 kisses and even allowing the MC to touch her somewhat without asking if it's okay. For me it feels like the real romance between them is gonna start in the next update or 2. As I felt like she is starting to get to a point where she is comfortable with the idea if she is giving him a kiss or allowing him to embrace her without thinking about it all that much.

Good to have you back HillsideVN, hope you are alright and we all are looking forward to this wonderful story continue.
P.s. As you know, I'm still longing very hard for a wonderful big family with MC & Charlottle (2 more kids will do wonderfully) Charlotte deserves that more than anything. Nothing will be more satisfying to watch & experience than that.

Charlotte deserves that more than anything. Nothing will be more satisfying to watch & experience than that.possible and maybe even probable but boring, since that's rather common in real life. Most people read AVNs to take a break from real life and do things that would get them arrested if they did them in real life (like fuck Emma, for the sake of argument mentally replace "college" with high school and call her 14-16yo, since that's what she often acts like anyway and so do her classmates that would get arrested for bullying/assault if they were actually 18's, well, unless their parents bribed the cops that is).
There were only a couple of small typos, so they will be fixed in a new version I will upload in time for Saturday's release to my lower tier patrons.
The other changes, such as improved sex scenes, will be in the next big update (V0.16).
I'm going to take a week to think about things and will decide whether to pick it up again now or leave it until after the next update.

Then don't tell us what this game should be and what it shouldn't be. We like it the way it is and we enjoy the author's story.
If you think you have the right to say whatever you want, then be kind enough to recognize the same right for others, this is a public forum and not your personal page.
The dev could have put all four LIs on all fours in the first chapter, but why would he want to do that?
All the women in this game have certain problems that will not disappear overnight and the author shows how they deal with these problems and how the appearance of MC in their lives helped them change.
Bro Justaphase basically summed up Charlotte's character development for you. It was a quantum leap for her. At the beginning of the game, she was a completely closed off, nervous, scared victim of an assault, who almost had a panic attack just from the thought of a man living under the same roof with her.
And slowly, step by step, thanks to MC's endless patience and her own innate courage, she restores herself and her faith in the possibility of having a relationship with a man. In the last chapter, she is already completely different from herself at the beginning, she is calm and relaxed in the presence of MC, she feels comfortable sitting next to him and talking about any topic, she initiates the communication. And although I think that their silly conversation about handholding is a dedication to Joshy92 , I guess actually she is testing the waters, first wetting one finger, then another, then ankle-deep and so on... (don't get too aroused) She is slowly trying to move on to more intimate and physical contact.
And pay attention, she is already looking for physical contact, timidly kissing MC, touching him, leaning against him in search of hugs. At the beginning of the game, this was impossible. After the story with Carter, too. Now it is completely natural for her.
If you think that all this is just unnecessary nonsense, and the author is dragging out time for some reason, developing their relationship at such a slow pace, then I can only repeat after Justaphase - this game is not for you, you have the wrong expectations and you will become more and more disappointed with each update.
The same goes for Emma. Do you really think that her transformation from a sheltered teenager living in an artificial cocoon her mother made for her to the young adult she really is happens overnight? And she'll jump into lewd affairs with a man twice her age after a few runs together on the beach?
I'm too lazy to describe it in detail, anyone can launch the game and see everything for themselves, every event in the game from Emma's life is important and is a step towards changing her character and growing up. Even the date with Zak, thanks to which she learned the difference between her sweet fantasy and reality. That Zak is not his movie roles, that people can be two-faced and cruel. That she should look deeper when choosing a partner, that the qualities that the MC has are not everyone's trait, no matter how much they pretend, and that this is worth appreciating in a man. Actually their entire dialogue, when she snuck into MC's bed after Zak's date and Carter's attack about this. The game is more about these things than about how Emma giving deep throat blowjobs.
I too feel bad that Suzi hasn't gotten the attention she deserves yet, but I understand there's a limit to what the dev can do in a given amount of time. Adding more Suzi means sacrificing some scenes with Charlotte, Emma, or Lucy, so she's unlucky to be the last one in line. But now that she's back home in the story, I think she'll get her chance to have the spotlight. If the MC doesn't get shot by the Wolfenstein's guys by then.
She definitely has anger management issues, so I expect a lot of fun watching her fight MC. And eventually MC will help her get to the root of that anger, and maybe teach her to use it to Suzi's advantage.
So if you find my post arrogant and rude, then you can well imagine my impression of your statements about what this game should be and what this developer should do. Sorry, but if you measure progress in a relationship by the number of inches the MC's dick has made into a LI pussy, that's your business. Neither I nor many people here share your... um... views.

I do like Charlotte, but no way would I choose her over Emma not in a million years.

You know I'm quite happy about this! When the MC told Charlotte "So about the walk you suggested... do you think I might be allowed to hold your hand again?" - I was like: "What the fuck? What is Joshy doing in my game? Sorry bro, but could you please get out of here, don't you see I'm having a moment with the best girl!"
