I never said i expect a happy ending and also agree it would not really fit with the tone of the game. My main issue is that you basically made sound tragedy and despair were the only possibilities. I have not played DDLC but i have read about the overall plot and the ending and would not consider them 100% despair, there was character growth and progress from what i could see, at least without having played the game myself. Granted it is a rough rough to get there it seems, but you do eventually get there.
P.S. Not sure i would consider living with a harem of 20 women a "happy" ending lol
They aren't the only possibilities, just the ones with a significant chance of happening and even a more positive end could still be tragedy and despair, just less of it. A still negative, but not tragic ending has a very slim chance, especially if Noriko finds out about any of player Sensei's sexual escapades with the other girls. Oh boy would she freak if she found out and that could end in a literal slaughter, I mean, she does carry a knife or has at least said something to hint at it and she is that crazy. Not saying it definitely would, but right now, Noriko is the one character who is so deranged that the possibility stands. The chance of a more positive, but still not truly positive end is still there, but the chances are extremely slim.
You're right about "Doki Doki Literature Club," it wasn't total despair, or at least the ending wasn't. The "rough road" is the real despair of the game from what I've heard. There was character growth just as there is in any game, including this one, yes. I have the game on my HDD, have for at least two years now, and still haven't played it myself, either.
As for living with 20+ girls, I would call that paradise, though it might get a little dicey at first if I ever tried to make one of them my favorite girl/wife/whatever you want to call a girl I choose to pay more attention to than the rest.
Honestly i would worry more about Ami than Noriko, Noriko wears her crazy way more openly than Ami. Not saying she aint cause yea she definitely is, but she has shown a willingness to share such as with with Kirin as long feeling aren't involved, where as Ami has been downright hostile to any potential competition.
As to the Harem thing, I am kind of anti-social to begin with so that does not really appeal to me. Plus trying to maintain that many relationships would be way too much work for me, especially with the myriad of issues these girls have. Of course that assuming any of em are even real to begin with.

What you have to understand is that financial institutions try to stay away from "taboo" or "immoral" things, as there are hundreds if not thousands of 'busybodies' in this country that want nothing more than to eliminate everything that doesn't fit their ideological dogma.
If they found out that any bank/creditor is handling transactions for an organization that allows people to create (and post for consumption) certain kinds of 'illegal' pornographic material (whether it's fictitious or not doesn't matter to them), they will screech, whine and berate any and every politician that said financial institution is "engaging in illegal and immoral activity", "putting children in danger", "giving safe haven to pedophiles", etc.
No one wants to deal with that epic avalanche of bullshit.
The bank I use, which is fairly large in the Southeastern and Midwestern US would actually block using accounts and cards from subscribing to any online adult content provider. You could easily subscribe to Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler with no questions asked, though.
Wanna know how annoying these people are? This is a law in my home state:
You must be registered to see the links
.Yea the system is so fucked up here in the States (other places as well i am) and i find most abhorrent when dealing with stuff like this where there are no actual living humans being depicted. Apparently we may to make sure the pixels are protected as well /eyeroll. There are a several tags that will give me pause on this site (Rape, Beastiality, BDSM stuff, etc) but there is only 1 i will flat refuse to play the game if i see it and that is censorship.
And that law you linked just screams Bible Belt lol and was likely endorsed by many who have been shown to have actually raped young children. Its sad really

Ok, so I'm questioning my sanity now. I definitely got Fixing Pipes last night but upon checking it's saying I've got Bad Kitty.

I have finished making one Fanart! I drew Ayane (although not sure it looks like Ayane)
Not really, Ami has shown herself to be unstable, but not to the extent that Noriko has and it happened much faster with Noriko. Noriko being more open about it does give us some warning, especially since only the player seems to realize Ami is unstable and player Sensei does not, but her instability isn't as close to the point of boiling over. Noriko seems like one wrong move is an instant snap. Kirin is literally the only girl where feelings aren't involved, at least supposedly, so Noriko is a much bigger threat because literally the only girl safe from her finding out is Kirin. Anyone else could and probably would start a bloodbath if she found out. Though I do have to admit it would be interesting to see what happens if Ami is caught by her. It's already a compromising situation with it being both an internal family and teacher/student sexual relationship, both very big no nos even in Japan except a select few blood relations and teacher/student is definitely out completely. If a true psycho like Noriko catches them, and yes, feelings are involved in that relationship, there would be total war between those two.
As for the harem, I am very much the opposite. I tend to hide my emotions behind a somewhat emotionless facade, kind of like a kuudere, but I am not antisocial at all. It mainly appeals to me because I really want to make every girl in this particular cast of characters happy, or at least as happy as I can. That's the appeal of the game, its writing pulls the player into an emotional roller coaster and lets go about as well as a true, murder happy yandere, which is to say not at all.
I am well aware of what financial institutions do and they are within their right to do that, however, they do risk the consequences by doing so. Not everyone is just going to take crap like banning content types lying down and even those that do won't take it forever. There is always a breaking point and that point is when the strain of banning too much causes the users to jump ship. It is already happening with Patreon at a trickle, but if they go much further, that trickle will become a mighty flood. The "epic avalanche of bullshit" cannot outweigh the lack of profit coming into the company caused by listening to the "epic avalanche of bullshit" in the first place. There will come a time when it will be financially unfeasible to do so. For Patreon's sake, they better hope they make that realization before all their users jump ship.
As for the bank thing, that's why I use a service that acts as a middleman for my card, that and security. It's basically a PayPal type service. The bank only sees a payment to the service, they would actually have to trace the payment by contacting said service and getting the direct record of where the money went.
Also, someone should look into that law, it is bordering on infringement of the first amendment and, with the right judge and/or justice depending on how far the case goes, it could be overturned as unconstitutional since fiction is protected. I'm not saying it actually is unconstitutional, I'm just saying putting it through the right courts might get results against it.
None of the tags give me pause since no real people are involved, except censorship, kinetic novel, and real porn. I tend to dislike western live action porn and that means pictures as well, but JAV is a different story, especially the underground stuff that somehow escapes getting censored before distribution or the stuff that gets uncensored by a third party. In fact, the tags you listed, rape and bestiality in particular, I tend to enjoy in any form as long as it is acted or otherwise not real.
If they themselves are liberated, that is. The thing is the people who screech about drawings and 3D renders tend to either look the other way or are actively involved when real people are in danger.Anime lolis are bad!You must be registered to see the linksYou must be registered to see the links(Totally sound bank logic /s)

That's...that's actually pretty freaking great, well done. I do see a major resemblance to the character, in fact, after pulling up one of her sprite images from my game folder, you nailed her appearance. A LITTLE dark on the eyes, hers are a bit more pale and have a lightening effect as you go down toward the bottom of the iris, or whatever the colored part is called, I forgot, but you were pretty much spot on with your work.

Damn, well, if at first you don't succeed. The entire court system and the supreme court in particular have had multiple cases come back repeatedly and some with a different result depending on exactly who hears the case, so they could always try again.

The current composition of the Supreme Court won't overturn that particular ruling. Short of the court being expanded to add a liberal majority (which has been discussed, but will likely get stymied by a holdout Senator or two), that's not changing for a long time.
Doesn't have to be that court, the process starts all over anyway, so they would go through lower courts to get back to the supreme court. There are lower court judges who would possibly overturn the law.

I do not like Noriko. Gives me a bad vibe. Which to me, means the character has been well written. I like that I don't like her.
This game occupies way too much of my brain's idle processing, I love it.

There's love and there's dis-love,
or something.
This is great
I don't know she's able to keep that posture in an anger mood, but it looks so great.

Dude, this is perfection.I have finished making one Fanart! I drew Ayane (although not sure it looks like Ayane)
Yea those are valid points i just tend prefer my crazy out where i can see it. With Noriko, the MC knows she is crazy and can at least try to avoid the crazy situations. But like you said when it comes to Ami, he is clueless and i dont think would see it coming. Also i feel Noriko would be a bigger risk of self harm instead of harming others, whereas Ami i think would go ballistic and certainly harm. Not saying it's impossible that Noriko would do something like that as well, just that i find it more likely with Ami. I do agree that Noriko would be more likely to fuck up MC life in other way, such as socially by telling people about the relationships as well though to try and force him out of those relationships
And with the Harem thing, If we are talking in game then yea i am cool with a Harem. When i say i would not want a harem i mean in real life. Games are an escape and chance to do these things without the real complications of them for. Same reason that i creampie and knock every single girl when possible in these games even though in real life i am not too fond of kids.
