I mean, i didn't expect much besides porn out of it when i heard they were going the 'true route' direction with Theo. I mean sure, i liked him well enough in 1 but that game was setting it up for a route for each character basically. He must have decided it was too much work and went with one route with casual stuff on the side or something so he could build a story which honestly isn't that interesting imo. I liked the having to repeat time kind of thing and how the gameplay worked with the mc's power, but so far with 2 i've just kind of been like meh, guess i have to run through other chapters to get the full story. I haven't even gotten around to the final chapter yet as i just don't feel like reading it too much compared to how i played the first one.
As for Hermann, i really liked him in 1 and looked forward to a better relationship in this one instead of what we got which was basically jealousy and more dislike, especially when the mc is the one who helped unlock his power for him that he had really been wanting. While i don't mind so much the non-con type stuff with him, i'd prefer an actual nsfw interaction that doesn't involve one of them being unable to move. I mean, he doesn't hate you since he will join you in the bath, so is a scene in a bed with actual consent so much to ask?
