I get the idea, but I just don't agree with it. The father could align with this some and maybe enough, I admit, but there is too much unknown and also something mysteriously special about the father because it seems he gained the loving attention of a very respected elf woman from a different world. And the mother doesn't fit any "usual" fate I've seen either (and she has possibly already been in two scenes and likely we'll see more of her with more story to fill the holes).In the classic AVN scenario, we often find tropes such as the disappearance of one or other of the parents and difficult circumstances, personal tragedies in the protagonist's life. In this game, the main character's initial blindness and abandonment by his mother fit these elements (or the disappearance of the biological father). In fact, I find that he frequently mentions his visual handicap, which seems more designed to elicit pity from the girls than to truly enrich his story. Let's just say that this line is exploited a little too much in the first third of the game.
The biological father, on the other hand, is rarely mentioned, and we don't know whether or not he's the subject of a particular mystery in the plot.
The general idea that they are both out of the picture at the beginning of the game isn't enough for me to categorize it like that.
