I don't know. I only played through Acting Lessons once and was only with Megan - so I don't really know what happened with Leah. I never showed any interest. (And yeah, not counting NTR/NTS games). But yeah - Kira, Pearl and Selena have all double crossed MC but are all still running around and MC is (not optionally) at least friends with two of them.
I mean I just like seeing as many path as possible. I have multiple saves of killing everyone I can and other which is my kind only kill guys route. If I can kill a LI why not. I am always going to test all the options while waiting for the updates.
Yeah, we're not doing so well at that part of the mission.
There's that girl at the start of Desert Stalker but she doesn't double cross you - she just attacks you, it's how you meet and what you do from there is optional.
I can name 10 LIs off the top of my head (probably 50+ if I really think about it) that have "double crossed" a MC as bad or worse than taking a cup (like Pearl did), you can't even call it stealing, cause it didn't belong to the MC anyway. Us players are then forced to be friendly or romantic with them (and that doesn't include NTR/NTS games).
I can't think of any. And I still count Pearl as a double cross - I wouldn't necessarily kill them but I wouldn't trust them, wouldn't consider them friends, and wouldn't go see them / save them etc. I'd just take my cup, go home and never look back.
yeah so far for me only 1 LI in this game that is even worth killing or deserve it and that is debatable because it's kind of fucked up with what you have to do to kill her.
I never understood why you get the option to kill her sister. (I assume we're talking about the same one.) The sister was just a hostage, she wasn't in on the plan or anything. Why would you kill her and not Selena?
This is weird logic at best as I don't really agree with it but...Selena's betrayal directly impacted Eliza and indirectly the MC. So in a twisted way, he's just returning the favor by hurting someone close to her instead of her directly, much like Taron didn't hurt the MC directly.
That's a little too psycho for me. I can see killing Selena but not killing an innocent to "teach her a lesson" or whatever. Even if you're being "cold and calculating" about it, that just leaves you with an enemy for life running around.
Appreciate the insight. The points make sense but I echo the other post that I don't think the fight came across the way the dev interprets it.
Still, I might be being a little too picky. This is AVN land after all. On a side note...3 seasons? How many lewds is that gonna end up being? We pick up 1-2 characters per update at a minimum and even if some are just side content (Kelly and her mom) we're gonna hit triple digits by the end of this.
Funny you mention this, because here's some other recent comments from Buu in the Discord:
Realistically though, I suspect the number of new long-term LIs to level off at least a bit after season 1. Knowing now that there's three seasons planned, it makes since for season 1 to spend a lot of time introducing them, and season 2 and 3 focused on growing them more.
This seems like a rationalization after the fact. MC is half angel, Eliza is a first generation vampire and the entire kingdom is looking for Taron but there are too many lis and so the dev is trying to justify it as - we're going to need them in the coming battle against a normal guy who is very sneaky. Even if we did need to add an additional ally or two, those allies didn't have to be lis.Funny you mention this, because here's some other recent comments from Buu in the Discord:

P.S. Regarding Taron, he's apparently only the primary antagonist for Season 1.
Sure, the allies didn't need to be potential LIs, but this is without a doubt a harem game. I'd have been very surprised if the majority of our female companions hadn't been potential LIs.
We might be underestimating Taron - but we have an entire kingdom that wants him (in addition to the individuals we already have) - How much more do we need to deal with one guy? As for the harem - it might be a harem game, but because we get to pick and choose, I'm choosing not to play it as a harem game. I'm just with Eliza. I have plenty of reasons to like Eliza and Eliza doesn't want MC to have a harem, she might put up with it but it's not what she wants and that's enough for me. Honestly, none of the others have been tempting enough that I'd upset Eliza to be with them. IMO anyway, most of them are fairly uninteresting and weird. It's like they have no ambition, life or power without MC there.
Everyone besides Eliza is pretty shallow I agree. The writing starts to fold when you do Eliza only. LIs consistently throw themselves at you despite saying no over and over. In the end, you get the same Eliza, the same Luna, the same Kira, etc. It's almost like the LIs should have been kinetic from the way they are supposed to be incorporated into the story but you can't do kinetic without people whining about forced relationships.
Yeah, I don't do kinetic AVNs. If I want that I have books and graphic novels. I'm here for Eliza and MC and their story. The rest is just stuff I have to slog through. Eliza and MC just happen to live in a world where the women are super needy and thirsty and incapable of handling much without MC. I have my wife, and then a bunch of adopted children with special needs and I may need to jump up at a moments notice and cross half a continent because their shoe came untied and they don't know what to do about it. Honestly, if things don't change I'll probably be out after the first part because I fear that we'll start part 2 living in the house we're building with all of, or most of, the Lis living there too - even if MC showed no interest in them. I've played it with the walkthrough on and I don't think I have a single relationship point with any of them, and am locked on the friend path with four or five of them, but they don't seem to have noticed.
Alice sees Eliza sleeping post paralysis. Alice decides the best course of action is to strip, crawl in bed with her, and try to entice the MC. Alice has issues.
I didn't mind the Alice scene as much as others. I didn't see the big deal how she was sleeping with Eliza in a medieval / fantasy society especially from a commoner . Be a different story if Eliza was a princess or Queen or it was a modern day setting. . As I imagine alot do sleep naked so probably seems normal and probably something they don't bat an eye at.
Yeah, I thought about doing a list but not much point. The gods we've met are interesting, but they are gods, not Lis and I think you have to be interesting to be a god, otherwise the other gods throw you out. For me the game has a lot of pretty girls with serious issues, and one love interest.
