Did the writer for the game change? If so, please change back. I thought the 'babe' influx was only poor writing for Naira, but I was wrong. I just saw Velle's new scene on waking up, and I should probably count it for proof - but I'm sure I saw the word 'babe' show up at least once every 2-3 dialogue boxes.

At best it's an incredibly immature petname that's frustrating to see repeated ad nauseam, and it heavily doesn't reflect the personality Velle built up thus far, let alone the MC.

I really, truly like this game for the most part, but when the dialogue starts to fall apart this way, it really puts a damper on my wanting to read anything of the story. There's still good parts in there, but it's so hard to pick apart the story and lore from the countless sea of 'babe' thrown in that I end up just glancing over the text to skip through to the end of it.

Huh. Though I'm not a fan of the word by any means, I always thought Velle was the one most likely to use it, given both her nature and personality.

Honestly, I fully disagree. Aside from just focusing on the fact that the term 'babe' is usually used by inexperienced couples to show possession in public along with some minor amounts of demeaning/belittling/infantilization, (take your pick,) Velle is often shown to be extremely heavily into bdsm and very experienced in sexual matters. Hell, the first time we meet her, she's got some poor bastard bound up for some SM play where she's the domme.

From experience, let me tell you - there is such a plethora of words and terms of endearment - both sweet and twisted - available, that saying 'babe' repetitively like a teenagers first relationship would grind your nerves until it stung. Even assuming she's trying to be 'sweet' in these instances, she'd only said it... maybe twice before in all of her dialogue, and always with a flirtatious tease attached like she's poking fun at the difference in their experience and making it seem like she's out of his reach.

Further, in spite of the fact that they fuck like animals from time to time, every interaction has been building familiarity, but been respectful. It made sense, like a relationship between two humans getting built. There was no clear trigger that this scene would be the one they become familiar enough with each other to exclusively use petnames. (And FFS, it's the same overuse issue that I ran into on Naira's route. Can you imagine MC and Velle fucking when Naira gets home and hears "Babe" thinking MC is calling for her? They could at least have unique petnames.)

I guess long story short, 'babe' is juvenile. I can stand its use in some circumstances where it's relevant as mentioned above, but overall, I can't stand it. The way the writing is going, every girl in that house is going to get called babe, and they're all going to call him babe, and there will be a neverending stream of 'babe' in the dialogue. God I hope I'm wrong and Neferi doesn't get pigeon holed into that linguistic trap. She's been written to be so much smarter than that.

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like you're overreacting. Nefari using the petname "babe" towards the MC would be totally out of character, and as of the current version, I see nothing to suggest she would start doing it. Also, I do not recall any instance of the word "babe" being thrown around in Naira scenes, so if it happened, it must've been only once or twice so far.
As for Velle... she's been using that one in regards to MC for a very long time already. Do remember that due to her heritage she requires sex to survive, and as a result her mother tried her damnest to raise her to see men as not much more than cum dispensers. That's why she was so nonchalant about using her powers to mind-control people for sex (and the initial bdsm thing). MC is the first guy with whom Velle feels so deeply connected, so this is likely her first relationship that is not just about sex. I think we can forgive her for not understanding that some people apparently have hangups regarding being called babe. Also, once she started developing feelings for MC, she stopped getting involved in any bdsm activity, even with MC (so far at least) - that kind of proves to me that she wasn't so much interested in this to begin with - just something she was raised to believe she needs to do.

Interesting choice of words. "poor bastard" implies that this guy is put in a bad situation, like he wouldn't be there if he could help it. You do realize that some people out there are into being subs, right?

Speaking of which, is it just me or is there a plot-hole here? Isn't there a rule where the residents of the manor are not allowed to have guessts (or at least unannounced visits)? That kind of played a big part in Jade's story, and had a call-back with the latest Vanna event.

It saddens me that these updates are 3gb+, and there's no compressed version. I would absolutely love to continue enjoying this masterpiece, as it is one of my favorites, but I simply do not have the data/wi-fi to download that much atm. :(

EDIT: I may go find somewhere to leech off of haha.
