Really enjoyed this. All the girls are great so far. MC is well done on each route, not an edgelord or overly nice to the point of stupidity. Sex scenes are great (really nice job with the audio changing depending on the camera position, added a lot to the scenes)

Far too early to tell, but I'm kinda worried the NTRS scenes are going to be treated like non-canon side content and nothing about them will really be acknowledged once the scene is over. I do hope they have some dialogue and story implications. Along with the "mc_like_sharing/real thrill" also influencing them. Wouldn't make or break the game for me at all, because I'd play it even if it didn't have sharing content, but it'd be nice to see.

Hey, if you play the dev's other game, AlwaysFan, you will see that there the NTS has a clear impact, both in terms of dialogue, character development and, even, in the different endings. I think it will be treated the same here

So, finally got to play trough all of it :D really like it so far, the sharing scene is properly hardcore nad not half baked, great <3 :D And well, you can feel the development in comparison to how AlwaysFans start is, feels much better :D
If I have to critique something... the PoV kissing scenes... they are SO horribly awkward... just make them third person, its not like you don't wanna show the MC, he is seen all the time... and those weird full frontal tongue out faces are just meh xD

As the one above me said, I doubt that with view on the other game. Should also get a good amount of sharing content, considering that the fanbase probably likes that already, even if it isn't as much a focus as in the last game.

Is it me or is the premise taking inspiration from Final Fantasy XVI? Not saying that's a bad thing of course, just curious if the dev is a fan/likes it.

I'll put my thoughts in spoilers just in case for people that haven't played FFXVI.

I wonder if the MC will end up getting revered because he's able to use multiple schools of magic. Maybe when everyone sees him duel the Duchess they'll spread the word. Assuming the duel even happens of course.

This is also giving me slight Game of Thrones vibes, with how much cruelty seems to be there. I wonder if anything bad can happen to any of our characters. I've not played the dev's previous game so I don't know how dark it can get.

Speaking of which, Episode 1 felt huge, are all updates gonna be this big? I assume this is also going to take around 2 years to complete judging by the creation date of the previous game's thread and the creation of this one.

Now something else entirely, why does this game 19 5-star reviews but only 11 pages? The previous game also has 90 4+ star reviews but less than 100 pages. Do people just don't like discussing this? The discord ain't that big either, and the devs patreon feel like it would've had much more people signed up to it considering the quality of this.

Hey, for your first question, I've never played FFXVI and I only follow the Final Fantasy universe from far, far away, so no it's not coming from there. My inspiration comes more from Warhammer 40k, notably the story of the Eldar and Slaanesh, mixed with a bit of Mesopotamian mythology and some of the anime I've consumed over the past few years :).

Oh. Maybe FFXVI got inspired from 40k then. I wouldn't know because that universe is so daunting, it feels overwhelming even just by thinking about getting into it.

It has indeed served as inspiration for many works. Blizzard, for example, pumped 50% of its lore from there to create Starcraft. And yes, it's clear that the franchise is truly colossal, similar to Tolkien, but for those who love science fiction, it's a fascinating universe that's well worth a look.

And funny thing is WH both fantasy and 40k are inspired by works of Herbert, Tolkien and Moorcock Games workshop basically copied lot of things from the latter.
