Oh, I don't disagree. If it were "meets protagonist, gets 'saved' by him from a life of debauchery" I'd probably have said it's extremely cringe. As is I just find it
a bit cringe.
The "problem" - insofar as it even is one - is that while the characters and the action is neutral the author(s?) still made a deliberate choice to set it up like that so that's where the (little) cringe comes in for me. Especially also since the confrontation with the Mom is a bit ... you know.
And again, you can say, well, okay,
sometimes talking to a 3rd party is all that's needed. This certainly
can happen.
But as mentioned it's deliberately chosen out of all possible options (ie Velle confronting and convincing her mother herself; or the mother reflecting on her actions or getting pressured by her organization over misappropriating man power or them working out a compromise of sorts ... but, naw, it's ultimately protagonist guy telling her "bad mom!") and that contributes to the entire setup being a bit "eeh" to me.
Also, the entire game gives off a bit of the anime-harem vibe to me (deliberately I'd assume) and that often is obsessed with "purity" concepts (of course never concerning the guy, always only the girls). That concerns the other characters too; the other men have already been mentioned, as an example. It's almost a miracle that the MILF landlady is "allowed" to have a sexual history ... but of course now that
you are there she's completely abstaining.
Coincidentally of course. There's nothing wrong with that in-universe-wise. It just - again - happened to be a choice the author made.
So having the Venne story in
this sort of overall story just gives me these slight cringe vibes; with multiple small factors compounding to it.
But again, it's not awful or anything and as I said I pretty much find it the most interesting story out of the main ones despite these small ... I don't even want to call it complaints. Observations is maybe the right word
