Fully? No.
Primarily male, but at times you make choices as one of the main women. Mostly so you can define her personality.

Is this game fully a male protagonist? It also has the tag of female protagonist.

This VN has the "multiple protagonist" tag.

You make decisions for Kane (mc), his sister Olivia and his critically ill brother Seth. These decisions mainly focus on character development like good/evil, dom/sub but also on sexual interests and loyalties/alliances with factions. For Kane the decisions also determine if he is treated like a sub/slave (sub path) or as a master (dom path) which allows to see the story from very different PoVs. (In fact there are different degrees (k-level) of sub/dom paths.)
It's possible to have a sub mc with a dominant sister and vice versa.

Best you give it a try and start with the first chapters of Season 1.
If you have trouble to find certain paths there is a walkthrough linked in the OP.

Is this game fully a male protagonist? It also has the tag of female protagonist.

When a VN shows the "male protagonist," "female protagonist," and "multiple protagonist" tags, it means you will at some point have the pov of a female protagonist (hence the female protagonist tag). Thus it cannot be fully "male protagonist" else it would not have the "female protagonist" tag.

I think Tess severely underestimated just how many people preferred the evil dom Kane route. Getting back at the Karlson women for all the f'd up things they have done and still do, turning their evil back on them was what got me into the game...now that's being watered down and or removed...well it was a great game while it lasted, femdom crap has as much appeal to me as watching grass grow.

Evil Dom Kim is the best character in fiction.

Debatable. Evil Kane makes Callista and Astrid sad.

Who the fuck cares for Callista, the woman who is happy to have a sex scene (which will happen in next update) with husband (MC's dad), while their son Sub Kane is suffering as k1?

And as for astrid, don't worry, whatever you choose in game, She is immortal goddess.

Damn, dude. Cole has been imprisoned and enslaved for 19 years or so. He's not allowed any pussy until his son is doing well?

Kane made some pretty stupid choices to get to K1 so he's just learning about consequences. No idea why that should affect Cole's sex life. I could see some kind of argument about K4, like "Oh Kane is in a bad situation, I should help him," but K1? Nah he's there either from stupidity or pissing everyone off on purpose.

He can get all the puss he wants, but callista shouldnt be getting any dick till Kane is safe and sound since her dumbass put him in the situation he's in

I wouldn't call it stupidity. You know perfectly well that in the context of the current story, Callista simply had no choice...theoretically, she could have refused to make a deal with Alexander, but he threatened to kill both Kane and Olivia, and who's to say that this crazy old man wasn't capable of carrying out his threats?

And as usual, we come up against the fact that for Dom Kane, this upbringing (multiplied by the long-term plans for Kane on the part of various forces, including Callista herself) proved sufficient for him to advance to the impressive rank of K9 in a single game week.

As for sub Kane, the fact that he ended up in deep shit is the problem of Tess as screenwriter, who for some reason did not bother MC a choice that could have turned the situation in his favor, allowing him, even in this dubious program, to remain not a pathetic worm and an insignificant slave, but a man who still had human dignity left.

But since this femdom crap is illogical and unnatural by its very nature, Tess couldn't come up with anything better than to blame it all on Callista, the "supposedly bad mother", to give the sub players an excuse that it wasn't their fault who their MC became, but someone else's. And now these lazybones can just sit around and wait for their influential parents to come and save their asses. How convenient and responsible, right?

As alexander dead, what stopping callista to save Kane? One of Karlsson's Sister got Kane's Bomb remote? The lamest twist I ever heard.
How will Dom Kane react to that when he comes to know the truth since all the karlssons sisters have either romantic or fuck buddy routes for him? We all are thinking there should be some revenge, but it will be something more than revenge when Dom Kane knows the truth. And Tess already given hint that we have a choice to save one karlsson's sister, Probably the one with Bomb's remote.

And what happens after that truth got settled? There is no story to take forward after that.

It's not about Cole, he can sleep with anyone he wanted, even the karlsson's sisters I don't care (Dominique craves for his dick), that poor guy didn't know the truth about his son upto 8.1 (or 7.2, i dont remember), but not with Callista. I dont know how callista is sleeping peacefully with all the kane's suffering (as she admitted herself that she feels great sorrow for him on bridge, during conversation with Elena.)

You do realize that Kane is chipped- literally. He can be killed by any of the sisters but they can't do it just for the sake of it. Which is why the revolution needs the help of the hacker Liam to bypass Veronica's chips. I don't remember if dom Kane knows that he's chipped but I think he does. Even if not, that should be a reasonable assumption. So no neither Callista nor Cole can just waltz in and extract Kane. Which would be insanely difficult to do anyway since they are on St Helena's , in the middle of absolutely nowhere

He only knows (kind of) on the revolution path and even then, it is vague.

Yet...Callista did just that....

Callista could now blackmail Veronica (in exchange for her help) into rescuing Kane and then putting him in a Faraday cage or freezing him.

Why would she do that? "Blackmail V" who literally idolizes her and values her immensely? Nonsense. They already have so many interests in common and Callista and Veronica are already working together to achieve common goals that largely coincide.

 

[DoverDad]

This whole thing about that old fuck won't give him a name, don't deserve one will actually kill Kane, and Liv is bull shit for one that will provide the Dekock the reasons for an all-out war 2. No telling what V and Elana will do to him. 3rd, his plan for an heir will be fucked as well. He may be a dick, but he knows full well his family fucked without Kane, thanks to his own ego.

Then she might even convince Veronica of the necessity of saving Kane.
At the same time, it seems that her son's suffering (or death) is a trivial matter.
