Yea I don't like that conversation with Mal in the swinging route too...
Ari feeling bad about lying was a good sign to turn it into ntrs and when Ari says she will quit smoking for real was good too. (Tbh that was the only good part for me in the route for this update
)
In my opinion what needs to be done is Ari HAD TO show more love and care to MC instead of "ignoring" him because she thinks it's for his kink. This update was like a roller coaster because previous update ends in her feeling bad and guilty. Well that was a good sign and suddenly she undo the bad feeling and proceed being a bitch until the end of update. Seeing her quit smoking does show her care to MC, that was a good sign again and it's a sweet touch for me. I hope dev would continue to dial back her bitchiness in this route for future updates and don't undo it all.
She lying and ignoring MC when walking past him was the biggest turnoff for me personally. Typically in some other ntrs/sharing games the scenario usually ends in her whispering or sending a text "Psst I'm leaving with Tyrone you know what's gonna happens next right. And when I come home to you with details you gotta fuck my brains out." It's more like teasing the guy with his kink instead of shoving bitter ignorant to him though. Again my take in that route that had to be different from pure ntr route is that, Ari had to be purely in love in MC and the other men are just walking dildos.
My view on the current game paths are
-indeed vanilla being vanilla maybe include the other girls, especially the mommy
-swinging should be ntrs, but doesn't stop mc from playing with Mallory too. Again, Ari had to be committed and love ONLY MC.
-ntr/swinging that was more like cucking imo, she is gonna fuck Tyrone's dad and MC's dad as well while MC knows and allow (basically the town slut that everyone get on
)
-pure ntr, well a NTR fapterial. Just seeing every girls around MC gets fucked will get its job done. Since the current game content for this path can't and won't go wrong anyway LOL.
