VN Ren'Py My Bully Is My Lover [Ch.1 Ep.4 - CV] [NiiChan]

[Aria_Wolfe]

I like the story, especially the MC manning up and growing past the past. And as the story starts with he and Sky being in love, SKY is the MAIN LI. MC (Kei) has grown past his feelings for Aine. Emma is Emy finally figured out, but he is still in love with SKY, and Emy/Emma should not be a LI either. Gwen & MC gave each other their v-card and basically moved on, so no LI there. If he wasn't in love with Sky, Lily would be the best LI in my opinion. And yet MC is now engaged?! I look forward to him getting out of that, never having slept with Aine (especially since she knew he couldn't know the condition and didn't tell him until after) and finally being with Sky. MC is too much of a man to cheat on his love SKY.

While that's what I would like to see, and hopefully one possible ending, I'm looking forward to the rest of the story as the development is top tier!!

I agree this Kinetic story is among the best.
Now to have a go with Sicae!

The lack of pokémon mentality (gotta catch'em all) is disturbing.

To be honest, I only went back to play Pokemon after finishing the Emy solo route (which i think is fantastic, except the abandoning everyone part)

Seems kinda weird to expect the MC to just focus on one LI in a harem game. The dev has even said that the solo paths and endings would be much lighter on story content because in his mind the harem route is canon and it would be too much work to develop as full of a story for all the solo routes as will be available in the harem route. Also it's possible to be with multiple LIs without cheating, even outside of a harem story.

I agree and have enjoyed plenty of harem VNs: Bad Memories, HotSandsofAntartica, DesertStalker... The story led to the MC being that way. Strond Desire is looking like such a harem I don't know how the MC could even remember all the girls

However this story from the start is so immersive, as if I am the MC. He is a good guy; different from most MCs in other KN/games. I can't play him having a harem. I do see him question feelings for the three girls, but he says he has moved on from those feelings. Emma, perhaps, is the only one he could fall for (and we see her solo ending - although I didn't take that path yet), but again the character development doesn't suggest a harem. Maybe I missed something?

Onward to see how the Mafia and manipulative Klara/Jess get taken down.

The Dev is making enjoyable story, so regardless of the outcome(s) I am enjoying it, even if the ending I would like doesn't happen.

If you pick one girl and never stray, I think this is (probably) a valid way to look at his world. But if you let the harem happen, he doesn't suddenly turn into a huge dick ( ) but what does happen is consequences ... and then compromise and semi-friendly competition.

Still, after experiencing Emy's solo ending (which has kinda an intense beginning), I think I'm going to explore all of them (if they all get one) eventually.

Yeah, I think the biggest thing a lot of harem games do to break immersion is make the MC a cheater in the very beginning before everyone finds out they're in a harem game. It often comes across as the LIs actually just realising they're in a game and rolling with it, because in reality even people who like sharing aren't often okay with being cheated on. There are a few games that do make it consensual from the beginning. I think my favourite solutions that I've seen are 1: the relationships all begin as nonexclusive and as feelings deepen the various LIs discuss if they'd rather MC have one exclusive relationship or share, and 2: the MC starts with an exclusive relationship that is opened up and members are added over time with the assistance/approval of existing members. Other solutions can work well, too. For me, I think the consensual harem start is preferable because it's a more realistic opening to a sharing/poly/harem relationship and because it's just more wholesome and as a deviant, I tend to prefer wholesome storylines in my porn games

cant wait for the update

 

[DaFirst]

Flashbacks are way too fucking long chum... i dont remember what happened before they started half the time. Right now im at Emys flashback and i swear its been half an hour long wall of text now. Its like reading a book that has neccesary refference for another book in the middle of it just so you could understand the story.

Maybe because this is a story driven game?
Maybe to learn about the story of the characters?
Maybe to understand their struggles better?
Their motivations and fears?
What they want and desire?

You know for a troll trying to shitpost you're really not good at it...

Okay, if you're going to play a story-driven game and not read the story, that's on you.

If you're going to play a story-driven game and publicly complain about it having too much story ... that's you on the list.

He probs wanted a quick fap but reading is hard and most people here are dumb... so reading really scares them...

Not here to troll or shitpost... Just sharing what flustrated me about this game/story/”Book”... aperently
I do get that you dont feel the same about the flashbacks. Im just not the biggest fan of em as they inflate the story without progressing it. And these ones could be considered standalone with how much story theres packed in em.


Edit.: nvm... just forget i even bothered to try to chat about this game.

Perhaps so, but considering a good 70% of the game (atm) is just prologue, it's safe to assume that the story is gonna be very much inflated. I don't mind it, longer drawn out stories are a sacrifice I'm more than willing to take for a well fleshed-out story, but I get if it ain't your cuppa tea. Ig in Lily's case I can see why it is a little overbearing but you also gotta keep in mind up until then we barely knew anything about Lily, not to mention with the story direction were going at we may not see Lily for a good few updates after the next one. So for the relative few that enjoys her character (me included :") ) it's a welcome addition, regardless of how long it is.
