honestly,i think Reduce part of the LI will be better. beacuse now the story just like a boring soap opera..some of them even just like disappear very longtime
No one asked for that, it was clear from her first meeting she was an easy going party girl.
But rape and abuse for years on end just doesn't fit her character, even less in the rest of the story.
If you use such heavy drama the least i expect is, that her past and trauma, as well the overcoming of that, will be a central point for that character (not that this MC would be any help with anything else as taking care of the bad guys). But this is just cheap drama for drama's sake, so the MC can save her from some rapists...she's a party girl, way simpler ways to do that.
Dark story ? I wouldn't call it that, besides the MC's past.
The rest of the game is the MC helping all LI's (mostly beating someone up) and the girls falling in his lap, completely fine to share him with the other girls...
I think the dev just looked at his roster of perfect milky white, cookie-cutter harem bait and felt he needed at least 1 LI to channel his inner Frank Miller. Guess Elaine drew the short straw and subsequently got a metric ton of emotional baggage and/or damage dropped on her, you know...for some depth in her character.Well that's an even worse backstory for Elaine than i anticipated after the last update...
Way to ruin a LI, just for 2 scenes with a bit of unnecessary drama and the MC beating up some bad guys.
It just feels completely pointless, why not just letting her a easy going party girl...
At least for me she completely fails as a tragic LI.
Well, at least you can reject her early on, or just not help (ignore) her in the last update and be done with Elaine.
The new hair just looks bad on her, and way too similiar to Faye, Alice and Angela.
I don't think i ever saw you complain, but if nothing else you are consistent in your praiseI hear the complaints.. but honestly I'm just enjoying the story myself.
This is the final nail in the coffin for me. This Visual Novel is ruined for me and I am leaving the sinking ship.If the constant rape and blackmail sob story going to continues to be used in VNs, the more the opposite effect it's going to have on people.
I don't feel pity, I feel Elaine is just retarded in this case.
Instead of going to the police, she just gave in to the blackmailers and for that, been getting gang banged and raped for this long, turning her into a nympho aka A WHORE. She is used up goods with loads of baggage with her, and the dev single handily killed her as a LI for a lot of people who don't want to deal with that shit.
It just gets worse with this shit involving Elaine and I am sure a good amount of people already jumped off her sinking ship so she can drown in her own foolishness.
Out of everything, it's always rape and blackmail in these situations. Not like any other thing can be used for this instead right?
This is a case of having drama just to have drama to get people to feel bad, and sorry for her, but this trope is so overused to the point it's having the opposite effect in this case and people are not feeling bad for her, they are going NOPE!
It's cheap and lazy.
Ah, the first thing that comes to a dev's mind with them wanting to add some unneeded and unnecessary drama that involves a LI, ruining them in the process:

she should have done that long before the game started, right the first time he approached her, to be honest never was a fan of Elaine she was way to pushy. but the last 3 updates have shown me that the game is not longer for me.should have had Elaine kick him in the nutzzz .....

A) she was pretty much a victim of what he had been doing to her in the past ....
The worn out tropes and bullshit rape explanations make it hard to follow the story, because my eyes are rolled so far back into my head with annoyance that I can't see the screen anyway. It is a shame because it was a fairly good game for 2 years before dev tried everything to bury it with full force.
A) no rape that i've seen .. just a story from her past .....
look what Elaine was talking about was in her past ... not the game past updates .... like it all happened before the game startedif with past you mean the last in game week for a game that runs multiple weeks already then yes it happened in the past, all while she was pushing herself on the MC and threatened him with rape allegations when he didn't want to jump her bones, but she was incapable of going to the police for her real rapist, shows real plot consistency right here.
And nothing you said as any bearing of the fact that pretty much every game on this fucking side now needs a fucking rape victim Li, its fucking done to the moon and back, it is nothing new, it is nothing shocking, it is eyerolling boring, and done to death then revived, raped, tortured to death and then once again revived and done again. I'm fucking tired of it. It was stapled on to the story for cheap drama sake. Out of nowhere and contradictory to her earlier interactions.
if with past you mean the last in game week for a game that runs multiple weeks already then yes it happened in the past, all while she was pushing herself on the MC and threatened him with rape allegations when he didn't want to jump her bones, but she was incapable of going to the police for her real rapist, shows real plot consistency right here.look what Elaine was talking about was in her past ... not the game past updates .... like it all happened before the game started
as far as rape goes , sorry but truth be told .. it happens more often than you thinkshe should have done that long before the game started, right the first time he approached her, to be honest never was a fan of Elaine she was way to pushy. but the last 3 updates have shown me that the game is not longer for me.
