Yeah I see what you mean, is much easier to unbound a spoiler tag to read about something than check the whole text just to find a specific topic, even more if much what is posted isn't exactly groundbreaking gameplay-wise and more about guessing whats going with these games's plot, for me also happens that some things I think aren't that obscure to find or really meaningful like the out-bound places so I don't know if put them into the spoilers or not, but at the end usually is more convenient that way.
Seems like the dev had the whole plot of the games in mind from the first one in a roughly way, I just felt is like that at least, but My]R seems like was the test ground too for many game mechanics being the first game, there's still half backed things like some buggy interactions (it would surprise me greatly if even THAT was intended, I'm kind of paranoid too lol) probably the cheat thing or dev tool is more for the player who wants to get all unlocked about the game as fast as possible, but theres plenty of details only can be found if its played slowly so I'm not sure.
I just found out two things I didn't noticed before while doing the lone run. Bird boss is easier to defeat than Red Boss slime despite being the first boss (still cannot defeat it) because the Bird despite being somewhat stronger only hits twice sometimes while the slime can hit up to four times so Red Slime boss is actually harder in a solo run.
The other thing is with the "Red Merchant" (the one with a cristal box thing behind) which maybe he is anything but, in Mercenary adventure if you buying anything from any merchant and try to "re-sell" it, you can get back only half of the item's worth in money, however in My]R the equipment (clothes/armor at least as far I know) can be sold for their whole price, so if you buy from Red box the "Tougher Clothes" which cost 3000, you can sell them back to Red box "merchant" for the same price! which doesn't make any sense if this Red is really a merchant, also after the Reds tower coup the box still is "selling" items by itself.
Also even if the game looks pretty simple at first glance some mechanics I really liked were anything like I've seen in other h or non-h games, the monstergirls interactions for instance, while others truly awed too me after seeing them the first time like the day/night transition, the RPGmaker games I've seen using it usually are cluncky and really slow down the gameplay a lot but this one is very smooth, and even that is handled very differently in Mercenary adventure, like different iterations or dreams of the same thing as you said. These games seem encourage to play them in different ways after all, even the "vanilla" Mercenary Adventure has cycles and the Dream pavillon in there. I have a theory about the flowers too but I need to play again Merc adventure after update's translation to see if has any grounds to it or even if is explained in some way.
The amalgamation is a big thing in these games indeed, I still have that My]R character theory I mentioned earlier and I feel is very related to it, I probably wil post it soon after is a bit more grounded because to make a bit more sense I have to know what's going on with Visitor first in this game or at least guess it in a logic way.
Thank you a lot for reading them, indeed the posts are more about details or strange things about the games than guides of some sort after all, they are more for trying to guess just what they can mean in the games lore but still they are fun to make all the same, also at times we can find or unlock hidden things or overlooked in some previous plays as a nice plus so is a win-win for everyone.
