From what i read, i get that vanilla players are mad, that aside. Elaine was the red head who was very open about being a slut right? So doesn't the blackmail background story kinda make sense? (didn't play since Ch.2 Ep.3 Part 1) I'm just asking because i do find blackmail rape/ntr hot, most of the time, but dislike the real serious, sad-boner-inducing ntr. Otherwise i'm gonna wait for while longer.
Yes, Elaine is the redhead. She was presented as being a party girl with commitment issues. Which is totally fine - I don't get why devs can't write a girl with a slutty past that
doesn't stem from some rape trauma - it's not hard. Girls like to have fun too. Yes, there was a hint at something in her past which leads her to not wanting a commitment and maybe trust issues with men, but there was no hint that she was being used as some guy and his friend's human fleshlight for years on end. She also apparently grew to like it and turned into a nymphomaniac because of it. Its just... not well written and doesn't fit the character and the overall vibe of the story. It's drama for the sake of drama. Why did she let it go on? Why did
her family let all of that go on? It doesn't make sense.
As I mentioned before, it does nothing for either the pro- or anti-ntr crowds as it's enough to piss off one, but not entice the other. But keep in mind, this was a
vanilla harem game prior to this. Most of the LI's were virgins. It was a very light-hearted tone. The music is bubbly and most of the girls are instantly attracted to you. It had everything that v-harem fans fawn over. 2 full chapters of this, mind you. Over 2 years of development of this style of writing.
There probably won't be any actual ntr (visually, anyways) in the game. I do have my theory about that guy and his friends coming back for her as this is a similar set up from another character we've already seen. I mean, at this point, it's in limbo. I don't think the dev will change anything, as we now have the netorare tag on this, but I also don't think he's going add that content. Who knows. Honestly, can't even guess at this point. So if you're here as an ntr lover, you're probably going to be as disappointed as the vanilla harem fans.
That said, besides Eira gettin' done dirty (another drama arc involving threats of rape on an LI with an
incredibly unsatisfying ending), the story was very enjoyable up to this point. It was super chill. I always looked forward to updates.
TLDR: If you liked what you've already played, you'll be that middle ground guy that'll probably still enjoy this.
[edit] I just went back and played it again because I 100% forgot about a scene...
he already did show up with his buddies and try to rape her again. He was literally on top of her when MC saves her.
