To be fair, the vast majority of the time i see that line said it's used dishonestly by cheating enthusiasts. The whole concept is kinda bizarre because in that kind of relationship early on is exactly the last time you'd expect to see these 'blurring the lines' type behaviors. Later on, sure.
Yes, there are clearly people here who want to see NTR in this game, but personally, I try to stay out of such arguments. I strive to be consistent in my words because from the very beginning I've said that the developer has the right to make his game however he wants. The only thing I asked for was that if he ever decides to change the game's direction, he should let us know upfront.
That's why I didn't focus excessively on what Vi did or said during the photoshoot, but rather on her thoughts. After all, all the words she said to Bruce don't necessarily mean they are truthful or reflect her genuine feelings, so I wouldn't recommend getting so fixated on them. As for Vi's actions, you can also find logic there. I'm not saying I agree with her actions, just that I can understand the developer's logic when he wrote that scene.
The only thing that puzzles me is her thoughts. After all those declarations about her only loving Eric and following an NTS path, reading her inner monologue during the photoshoot raised questions for me. And when I voiced them, I was immediately labeled an NTR fan, complete with unsolicited lectures on how to properly play this game. It's amusing that an NTS fan decided to criticize me for my questions while choosing to ignore the obvious NTR supporters.
I am not a fan of NTR games, but I can play them, though not all of them. For instance, I played SAO. I finished the first part but didn't continue with the second for a number of reasons. Plus, that game is made on the RPG Maker engine, so you can't skip dialogues like in Ren'py. Because of this, I had to spend hours reading dialogues just to know where to go and what to do. And reading the dialogues was hard for me because of the main character. I think you understand what kind of intellect the MC in NTR genre games often has. In the end, I couldn't stand Kirito's stupidity and his girlfriend's hypocrisy and just dropped the game. I didn't write a bad review or anything like that. I simply left a game that was clearly not for me.
I just hope the game maintains logic and consistency. I'm not expecting a complex plot. For the next update, I simply hope we get some clarity on what Vi actually meant by those thoughts, or whether the developer just didn't think them through when writing those lines.
