Nope, not for me. What I find most appealing (see my review of the game) is that it isn't trying to force you to be some awesome stud, but allows you to be an everyday fat, old dude who can still kill it - and kill it over the top at that. Yes, it is completely ridiculous, and you are completely right that any guy looking like that would have more bruises from girl slaps than he can count, but this story doesn't work like that. And it would not work with some really sexy "dad", be it Steve McQueen, be it Sean Connery. The fun is that he is flubby.Well, an everyman that behaves as the one in the game would be slapped ten times a day and teen girls would make crude jokes about him, not fall for him. I´m OK with bad jokes and singing, but he needs a good amount of sex-appeal (and not only money) to be able to effortless make all that girls and women fall for him.
Actually, forget about Steve MacQueen and Pierce Brosnam. The MC should be something like the characters in Cary Grant's comedies to be credible. Wonky, clueless about a lot of things regarding to young girls and women in general, bad jokes and singing, but elegant, sophisticated and handsome. At least, I would prefer to identify as a character like that one, since the player "is" him in the game.
Why exactly should he be getting slapped? The vast majority of the girls are coming after him, he isn't just hitting on random girls.Nope, not for me.

It's similar to the logic of fortune cookies - if there were really funny jokes in them, some wouldn't like them, some wouldn't get them. But if everybody agrees that they're terrible, we can all move on and have a shared positive experience.
Okay, maybe he wouldn't get slapped (though it depends a small bit on how you play), except for maybe by Sandra - the girls just wouldn't tease him like that.Why exactly should he be getting slapped? The vast majority of the girls are coming after him, he isn't just hitting on random girls.
So the MC is good... because is completely ridiculous? OK...Nope, not for me.

Yeah, one of the main reasons I like this game so much is because of the MC's personality. I think he is both funny and charming and not just a 18-year old horndog (i like those games aswell, this is just a nice change of pace )The mc is perfect for this story. I'm sure there is a vn with a studly mc like you are craving, best of luck finding it
So you think it's weird that fans of the game defends it in it's own thread? EVERY games thread is like that, that is the nature of a forum like this.So the MC is good... because is completely ridiculous? OK...
Look, this thread has 300+ pages. I know that right now there are only fans of the game here, because all the people that are not fans of this game left this thread months ago. That means that nobody here is going to agree with any kind of in deep criticism about the characters, the focus of the game, the story, etc. It's OK. But I'm pretty sure that, if the MC would have more sex-appeal, this game would have even more fans because it would be more plausible. Problem is, to create an attractive, funny and charming character (not talking about just graphic design) that actually could make women and girls fall for him, is way more difficult that to make an everyday fat old dude that for some not explained magic or miracle, can still kill it will all kind of gorgeous girls and women.
Why would people who are not fans stick around, except to troll?So the MC is good... because is completely ridiculous? OK...

He's been happily married for 20 or so years, that doesn't go together with being clueless about women and girls, especially given he has two daughters.. Wonky, clueless about a lot of things regarding to young girls and women in general, bad jokes and singing, but elegant, sophisticated and handsome.
You might like a game like that better. Maybe even many more people. But it is not always "one size fits all", otherwise right now every game would be a battle royale. Some devs also like to do something different and then get more enjoyment out of their work.So the MC is good... because is completely ridiculous? OK...

No-one is calling you a troll, but why should the dev change anything about the mc? Changing things to try and chase some vague definition of popularity never works and only suceeeds in alienating the original fans.the MC should be more attractive in order of being plausible that almost a dozen of women and girls fall for him... and I´m been called "troll" and attacked by several people...
Think about it--is he significantly more awkward than most of the characters Nathan Fillion plays?He's been happily married for 20 or so years, that doesn't go together with being clueless about women and girls, especially given he has two daughters.
I couldn't say. My only encounters of Nathan Fillion have been in Destiny 2 and the one time I saw SerenityThink about it--is he significantly more awkward than most of the characters Nathan Fillion plays?
I just don't think it is all that different. It's not like most of the girls fell head over heels for him the moment they saw him or anything, he doesn't have some superpower to make the ladies' panties wet just by looking at them like in some games. They all had a chance to get to know him before falling for him. And I think it's being overstated just how 'ugly' he is.Actually, don't think about it too much. While I am usually all for searching for plot holes and consistency, here already the premise shows that we're in screwball territory where rules are just different.
(a) they're over 18 years old, unless you make them younger yourself.Repeated warnings about trans content, but seemingly unskippable kiddie-scenes? Strange priorities, man.
