Many you're on the most notorious whiners though, what are you talking about? This was always CG's direction, it's why Vi watched Cuckquean porn in chap 2, it's why Sonia teases Laura/Sonia BJ in chap 2 as well, as well as Ari also literally implying she wanted to ask Vi to share Erics dick in chap 2.
At no point the direction changed, nor did some amount of whining happen from the crowd that already liked this direction. Quite the contrary man, you come in here for a game you claim to dislike and endlessly whine about what it always intended to be. You can literally read the Q&A yourself from the summer of last year, just after chapter 1 released if you go on the discord, nothing's changed at all except you chose to ignore the things you didn't like then whine, whine, whine when the things hinted at started to happen. From the very start CG's plan was to weave together several different genres into one game, I'm sure he knew there'd be some level of backlash from conflicting crowds but he wanted to make the game he desired.
Like I literally could not imagine the psychology to repeatedly go into a game thread and complain like you do, and then pretend it's other people that are doing the whining.
If some of the original fans were too blind to see the obvious harem aspects, that isn't CG's fault, just like it wouldn't be CG's fault for failing to see the NTS/interracial aspects. It's not his job to handhold everyone and spell out for them what should be fairly obvious.
What I do when I don't like a game is forget about it, not go for months to post about how much I dislike it's direction and then pretend it's others crying.
Sir I would just keep creating the game you guys want. Which you are currently doing anyway good on you. Dont worry yall MC will fuck Ari,Maki, Sonia ,Anya and his Step mom(forgot her name) in time relax.
The writing for Vi ,Eric and Maki feels ....Well let me start with Eric and Vi. I know as the story progresses their characters will continue to grow out of their "Shy"/"passive" shells. Yet they feel as though personality wise they are both the same character.
You guys definitely have written Eric and Vi as though she's dragging his dominant side and confidence out more n more. There are definitely times when Vi teases him by being slutty to push his dominant side out. Then her dancing at the Club on Sai(BEFORE Eric finds them). Vi definitely wanted Eric to find her grinding on Sai. Just before he does find them, reads and feels as though she just wanted to do that. Or say at the street market ,when she pulled her top down. Or when she's out with Ari taking dirty pictures among other things they do ,we dont see and or that are implied by Ari.
Which I get it she's an exhibitionist slut for Eric etc. Yet that is definitely how you guys are trying to or just are writing Maki. Doing things just because she wants to, for her own benefit etc. Yet again Maki reads as though your definitely trying to or just are writing Vi. Doing things to push his dominant side out, get a rise out of him. All her actions when their in scenes together ,even at the Club are guided by trying to tease Eric,getting his attention,getting him riled up so he'll slap the piss out of her(which he sure as he'll did lol). As though they are the main couple despite not having as many scenes together as Eric and Vi(I think they don't anyway).
In summation,idk if it was intentional but as the story has progressed. Vi is/has become what Maki was presented as and Maki is/has become what Vi was presented to us as. I hope to God that makes sense.
Now I can imagine way better endgame scenarios and just scenes in general with Eric and Maki. And I'm pretty sure that is because how well written her character is becoming.
Good job btw on Anya love how innocent she is even now. Yet how fascinated/drawn into this lifestyle she's becoming. More of Eric's Step mom please and thank you .
Keep up the good work yall
