I disagree with this brother

I don't think she was a total creep at all I think she was just being nice

that's like somebody saying just because I smile at a pretty girl i am being a perv
Well, to many girls, yeah, you'd be being a perv.

Anyway, after thinking a bit more about it, I guess I can see why this would be an issue for her. Let's say that, after all what happened right after that, if this guy who showed no interest in her now starts hitting on her, she can think that now he may think she owes him something for saving her. It's a pretty fucked up situation and, in order to accept his advances, she only needs to know that he was already interested in her before anything happened. That way she can picture him as her real white knight in a shine armour and not just like a creep vigilante who thinks that has earned his right to fuck her even though he didn't like her before. And the MC, being a smart, sensitive guy and also an experienced lawyer who has dealt with many victims, could quickly understand that. She doesn't even need to fully verbalize it, some hesitance could be enough for him to connect the dots and immediately apologize and move on to try to keep their blooming frendship intact.

My ultimate point still stands, though: I think that players should be able to make the mistake of trying to flirt with her once and then face her rejection in-game, so that even the more dense individuals could understand the reasons why her path was closed right from the start due to what, at that point, looked like a not-so meaningful choice. Instead, the god-like dev just prevents us from hitting on her without giving us any reason -nor even the slightest hint of it.

About the kids, you actually tell her that you don't like kids. Like, at all. Which also means you don't want to have them, or at least that you are not fully convinced yet of having them at some point. This, while being a 35 years old man with a stable work and all the means to build a happy home for a family. It's totally understandable that a school teacher won't be happy about it and will knock you out of her longterm plans.

So far, It's just Jamie and Aghavni that are more my vibe. I don't have any interest in either Malena or Emmaline. So I do like the fact that the dev made it easy to get off of their paths.
to make it clear all the girls are wonderful they're just not my type

except for Malena she was made for me

with Malena I felt the spark right away

to be honest when I started the game none of the girls were my type but I kept playing because I felt

like I was waiting for something or someone

and it turns out I was waiting for Malena

Well, just started this game, recommended on AVN_Lovers on Reddit... and I have to say, so far it's a damn great game, love that it focuses so much on establishing the world they're in first, the Novel part being on the front is something I'll always respect to the utmost in an AVN. Renders are pretty good too, the subtle changes happening in their faces, the 'silence' they experience, superb writing thus far. Sorry to bring up another AVN, but it reminds me of Corporate Culture, obviously not the same type of subjects, but the same kind of vibe, strong character building, both in funny and serious situations (I have to say, parent abandonment is a real syndrome later in life, I felt it, and that scene with Max.........).

Just started Episode 2, and yeah, I'm sold because of the writing, first and foremost.

I have a question for you.

Do you like Malena ?

The story is very engaging... which is actually rare since most games I have played are less about story.

Interestingly the personalities of the love interests really come to the fore, and none are easy lays without regard to consequence.

Aghavni: Although she is your ex she is not just ready to have sex with you from the get go. It takes time and sustained effort.

Emmeline: Has a huge crush on MC but is still not ready to jump his bones on a first date. Fitting I guess given she seems more... reserved anyway.

Jamie: Is the one character who is fascinating to me because she is into scifi has a vivid imagination, and has both lofty goals and the intelligence and drive to meet them. She's also rich, so of all the love interests Jamie is like... perfect.

Aghavni is cool and a great cop, but I am not as attracted to her. Malena is physically attractive but lacks the sophistication of Jamie, and Emmilene is as plain as vanilla.

When I talked with you, I just started Ch2, didn't even meet Malena, barely met Emmeline...

Now that I've finished it, I have to say, yeah, Malena is a bomb, but I think she's way more than she appears. She deals with trauma with her snark, I suppose she got in the army because she was raped or something like that when she was younger, that's why the few things that were said about her backstory will probably mean a lot later.

Still, I love all of them, Emmeline may seem vanilla, and I'd have to agree, but she has a wicked mind, she's cute as fuck, and while everything seems perfect in her young life, her past is probably way darker than we know thus far. Poverty creates a lot of trauma...

Aghavni, honestly wasn't sure about her model at first, but the more we see her, the more I like her overall character, cause she has depth, a strong woman who can probably deal with a lot of shit... and, well, she likes it 'hard, very hard', so yeah.

And Jamie, the little girl who grew up into a fine woman, who I think has had some trouble in the past, cause while everything seems perfect, I have the impression we'll learn she had to deal with some shit, psychologically, in the years the MC didn't see her.

Story is great so far... and the animations, sure didn't expect they'd be that smooth !

But yeah, Malena is a bomb, and I think literally, either the MC will be able to defuse her a bit, or she'll blow up.

I agree with you 100% brother that' is more to Malena than meets the eye but like I said before all

of the girls in this game are amazing but they just were not my type I didn't feel anything with

them no spark but when I saw Malena it was like, that's the girl I've been waiting for this entire

time I love badass and dangerous women

but with a good heart

Loved the new episode and it definitely shows that the quality of episode 1 wasn't a fluke at all.

But man, for me Emmeline and Malena are really off-putting, it might just be that my life experience has just never had me meet anyone like them, but they just seem so cartoony compared to Aghavni and Jamie. Malena's model is amazing, but she doesn't feel real to me - she feels like a porn game chick; when Jamie (aside from this episode's Marvel scene) and Aghavni feel like they could be characters in a well made TV crime show.

Episode 2 didn't feel like it progressed the plot all that much compared to episode 1 either. They are fairly minor gripes and will be easily fixable with more time spent with the characters who currently bother me, assuming they don't continue to behave similarly - and develop further in a natural way.

Wow, I just finished Episode 2. it was so good that I forgot I'm playing adult VN game. So far I'm impress. So good that I don't know which girl to pick and unsure if there will be harem ending with this or maybe a friends with benefits ending with all the girls.

Does the dev have no writing props at all?

MC: Are these just hollow card board cutouts? Did I never read CRIMIINAL STREET GANGS?
Why did I walk the attempted murder and stabbing off and swept it under rugs?
Did I just walk away from a SEX CRIME PROSECUTION because I never read that book?

MC: Why do I have all those posters of a discount secret agent who murders people indiscriminately?
Am I a vigilante in this game? Am I a spook? A double agent? Do I spy on USA for the Brits? WHaaa. ...?

You hate kids? You MONSTER!

I appreciate the effort you put into your sarcasm. I literally LOL’d at the piece of paper.

How was Jamie jealous of cop Kardashian's bazookas? Hers are humongous as well :eek:
There is subtext there: she doesn't just comment that Aghavni has big boobs, she says "bigger boobs than me." Jamie probably views her chest as an advantage with her crush so she's especially irritated that not only is this new threat (Aghavni) gorgeous but that Aghavni has even bigger boobs than Jamie does.

How is Aghavni a "new threat" when he's been there, done that, didn't work out already?
