but I'd say it's more like a lighter NTR route
Honestly makes sense. For you to really go two different routes, you would need completely different CGs, which would double your work time. This way it would be efficient to use the same cgs but in different scenarios, since it is a text-based game, I believe in your ability to change it enough to feel netorase, by giving the players the feel of "control" by suggesting things to Vanilla, like you mentioned already.
Making the netorase route a lighter netorare route, can work too, but it could be netorase with netorare baiting, and it could work better with the same CGS.
For example, Vanilla does the same action in both routes, but afterwards Vanilla could be like, "Did you enjoy it? i thought you would have liked it more if you thought I was really cheating."
Again, just some feedback and opinions, don't pay too much attention to it xD.
Anyway, do we have an ETA for the next update?
