Which really comes back to the point of no real choice and it feeling more like a kinetic novel than anything else. Even rejecting some girls it still acts like the MC slept with them, which if you do that on a first playthrough is pretty confusing. As for the king standing down, this is no king, just a pathetic weak man playing king. It has been shown he has no real power or influence and is just barely having any grip on the pieces that he thinks he has. It would be easy to break him and pretty fun. The other problem is the direction of the forced route with the royal family. The whole writing itself at this point has become a mess and contrived. It is as if both the story and MC are literally stuck and haven't gone anywhere significant.
Also in terms of building a home yeah that sounds like an end game goal, but to use that mid game really limits the potential of the story and the experience of the player as well after seeing how large the world supposedly is. Speaking personally when I first started this game it was interesting and it kept my attention for a while but I quickly caught on to the lack of choices or meaning. After the pirate arc I really considered dropping this game, but stuck around only because of Eliza, but at this point for me it really is doing more wrong than right. I honestly can't rationalize most of what the MC is doing now and it has come to the point where the game is more frustrating and annoying than enjoyable, so I might have to check out of this one. The writing just doesn't click with me anymore.
