Comics that do not affect the plot outside the game, were available before the release of the new version. This is a "reference" for those who are subscribed to Patreon or a hint for those who missed this post.
Of course, those who play the game for free might think that there is a very important moment there. From the next version I will point out that the comics only complement the story and do not affect the main story.
I like the concept that the comic posts are a little bit related to the game and have references to the game.
I get what you are trying to do, but it is just abrupt and removes the player from the game and feels like they are missing content. For instance, with Karin's flashback. Just as things are starting to get interesting, you cut it off and tell people that if they want to know what happens, they have to read your comic. It's abrupt and makes the player lose context.
Like, does she go through with it? Does she walk away? Would we have had a choice in the matter to choose how she reacts to the situation? Will this moment have an effect on a future encounter? This not only affects free players but also paid player as well. If someone pays, but they don't like comics or want to read them, then they are going to be in the same situation as a free player. They'll be missing out on the context as well.
It's the same situation with the Mia scene. What happened? She walks out with a mouthful of cum, but what's the context? Was she blackmailed? Did she do it of her own free will? Which one of the guys did she blow? Both, or only one? Will this affect the story later in the game? There's a bunch of contexts there that is missing that we have no idea about. But again, it's abrupt and tells you to go read the comic instead.
It breaks the flow of the story and takes players out of the game. Whether a paid player who is not into comics, or a free player who just doesn't have access, they lose a lot of context and story because the content is missing, and instead, is outside the game.
Hmm, I'll think about how to make it less "intrusive" I didn't think it would be annoying.
My advice? Instead of cutting off scenes from the game so abruptly to advertise your comic, do it at the end of the update as a simple self-promotion. Have a page at the end of the update with something like:
"If you want to see these characters in some side adventures outside the game, check out my comics"
This way, the flow of the story doesn't suffer, and players are not met with scenes ending abruptly to be told that in order to see the scene in game, they have to go outside the game and read a comic. And then either add the scene to the game, or don't reference those scenes in the game if they won't be included. This way, players are not losing anything, and the comics are just a bonus on the side.
