I should clarify a bit since I was one of those asking about Mrs. PM and speculate on ways to defeat her. In the end, what I'd like is for the MC to start actively work against Mrs. PM. How that is done is secondary. It should be clear by now that she is no friend of MC and his loved ones and can't be ignored.Many of you are asking more information about the Prime Minister. I haven't answered so far, because I'm not sure about what to say, there is some information that are supposed to come later, and of course I don't want to say too much so you can't guess what will happen next. That being said, I think it's important that I clarify her character a bit more, so I may write something. I've been thinking for a while about writing some "lore" article about this world and these characters, so maybe I'll start with her... ? I'm not sure yet, I'll think about it.
One thing I want to say is that HIBTBS is an action fight battle. So don’t expect the Prime Minister to become the main antagonist, there will be no big fight against her, that’s not what her character is about. Same way, don’t expect a full chapter of complot and mind strategy battle to expose her, that’s just not this sort of game.
BUT... at the end of the game, she’ll be deal with, karma is waiting for her, and she will not like it.
This is just pure speculation on my part, but it seems as though the PM will be addressed indirectly through the MC breaking the current relationship between her and the Knights/Saintess. 2 of the 4 romance options directly interfere with the PM's meddling, and the other 2 offer their own paths forward on how to change the current dynamic.I should clarify a bit since I was one of those asking about Mrs. PM and speculate on ways to defeat her.

I think where my confusion stemmed from was the overarching themes of light and dark that dominate the story. I thought that by accepting his gift that he would somehow corrupt the MC and eventually lead to a "bad" ending, but after subsequent playthroughs it started to make more sense that wasn't the case. I'm always weary of accepting any type of gift from a notorious character due to the scheming, much less the god of darkness and chaos himself.The "bonus" ending was originally supposed to be there if the player didn't favor any girls. But things have changed a bit, and it wasn't necessary after all. I decided to put it in anyway, but it seems like many of you were.... confused?
You weren't the only one in fact, there were a few other questions, by private message or on other platforms.I should clarify a bit since I was one of those asking about Mrs. PM and speculate on ways to defeat her.

Yes, you're right, I just didn't think about it when I wrote that scene. Like I said, I'm still thinking about how to fix it. The best way is probably to undo the choice of opening the door or not, but that would mean the "bonus ending" would disappear, and I'm a little annoyed by that. I mean, it took some time to create it, after all, and I feel like it provides an interesting perspective on how the storyline would evolve if the war suddenly stopped.I think where my confusion stemmed from was the overarching themes of light and dark that dominate the story.

Here is my random idea: What about adding an extra/omake option to the title screen/main menu of the game? Maybe make it only appear if certain conditions are met during a playthrough?Like I said, I'm still thinking about how to fix it.

Just add "(Bad ending)" to the end of the text on the controversial choice. Nobody will be blindsided, anyone who wants to view it can be prepared for a bad ending and then there's no reason to to feel like you'd have to get rid of it.You weren't the only one in fact, there were a few other questions, by private message or on other platforms.
And I found your questions very legitimate, as I said, it's just I'm not sure how to answer them.
What I can say is that you don't have to worry, the Prime Minister will not be ignored.

any news about the next update?
That is what everyone thinks at the start of the game. You'll have to play the game to find out if it is actually true or not.So... the MC is the typical useless?
Yeah this is a hard to answer without ruining anything. So best I could answer he is because he believes he is but than again he is not. The way the reveal happens in this one was very well done and it makes 100% complete sense why he is useless. You have to play it because this dev is one great writer!"This is the story of an ordinary boy, and a very extraordinary girl"
So... the MC is the typical useless?
Man you are one of the best writers here. You are in my top 3. This game is top notch. Until chapter 4 things were very fluent. But I noticed some inconsistencies with mc's behaviour in the previous update. It felt forced at many places. I know you are trying to speed things up in lewd department. But don't let others influence your writing.Yep. Actually, I just gave some news concerning the next update on Patreon and Subscribestar. You can find it here :

To sum up, the script part is done, the graphics and animations part are half-finished. There's still a lot of work to be done, but things are progressing well

As for the inconstancies, I'd like to know more about what you mean? What I can say is that the lewd scenes in the last chapter were always planned, and I would even add that they were necessary for the development of the various stories I have in mind.
Of course, that doesn’t mean that I've managed to do it properly, which is why I'd like to know more about what you thought was weird...?
