So, I'm a follower on Patreon. I just wanna clear a few things up to my understanding.
First off Red is NOT working on this title anymore. Surprise I know, but it's true. I believe he has a general time line tree written up and is having his new writers write from point A to point Z. The story has already been decided, all that the writers are doing is telling the journey. Now I'm not saying that I disagree that the current direction wasn't done tastefully, because believe me I think it wasn't. However the writer has said alot of the clarity that is missing is on him and he will try to do better. I think it's fair we give him that opportunity to try and do better.
That being said, for the fans. Please remember he's actually new and trying his best. Yeah I agree it wasn't the best execution but he's willing to hear people out. That's huge. He deserves a chance for that alone. That doesn't mean however that he can change the storylines trajectory. He had a boss of his own. He can't change some aspects of the game, only the execution of them. So a little lead way would help the guy alot.
For the new writers, just know that Red has already set the tone for the storyline. Picking up this project for him was like grabbing a burning branch with your bear hands. You got to know that you're going to get burned my man, I know it sucks but that's just the reality of it. We understand you have a timeliness to follow and due dates to keep. Just try and remember if you allow the general tone of the game to change too much, that burning branch is going to set you on fire.
About the NTR, for now after going back and replaying, slowing down and taking notes, it's clear that this direction was always a possibility coming down the pipeline. However I don't think Red intended to turn MC into a Cuck and FMC into a whore. I think it's mostly about a bit of drama that will get resolved. And won't/can't be a major focus of the game. Remember they need MC alive and well, if they bring his moral down too much or break him to a point where shit no longer matters. Desmond is going to be on the receiving end of punishment from his higher ups. Not something he will ever be able to walk away from. Success versus failure seems to matter alot to him. He's probably aware that if he fails he fucked.
I think all of these people on the boat are about to loose Bella trust anyways. She's pissed about what happened on the island. Now they have to admit who they work for and what they do. Or lie to her which will make her less trusting. Her fear of MC is going to lesson as she figures out he's really the only person on that boat she can trust. And when she figures out that they are still being drugged? Who's giving her drinks now? The MC? Nope. Can't blame him anymore. So I'm willing to give it a few more updates to see how things start to resolve. If we are back into another whole season of grind where MC is bullied and can't do anything while everyone else is getting laid. Yeah I'll drop this title like a bad habit. But I'm actually starting to trust the writer when he says that's not the direction the game is going to go. He said his main focus will be on MC, FMC. For the storyline that actually makes sense. They will still be the main focus even on NTR path, just a bit of drama, she's still going to learn who they are and what they are doing. And if they write that she's okay with what they have done to her and her father. We can call them out on it. I no longer think that's the direction they are heading. Let's wait and see.
