VN Ren'Py Nephilim [v0.5.9] [BuuPlays]

[Rehwyn]

wow Buu actually pulled off an AVN "remake" in only one development cycle? if it's true they're a legend among AVN devs 90% of the time it feels like "remake" is either the death of an AVN or we have to wait months to years for remake to catch up to where story was left off lol

Well, that explains why the update seems to have been delayed a bit. Also, I wouldn't be surprised if Buu had actually been working on this for a while.

Back in July (I think), Buu mentioned had all the monthly updates ready out through March 2026. He's actually way far ahead in terms of development compared to what is currently releasing, so he has the flexibility to do things like a rework without delaying releases.

So he is adding a harem path or is this just for certain girls

Harem path has always been there, but it wasn't acknowledged much by characters in game. Sounds like he's added some dialogue variations to reflect that though.

Don't worry, you'll still lose fights against female character so nothing will change.

The implication being that MC should win against a female character by default?

If that's what you want, I have bad news about the power level of MC compared to many women he's already met (like Lucid and all 3 goddesses), and quite a few teased ones coming up (archdevils, the original vampires, etc).

When Buu shared this power level chart 2 months ago, his comment was that MC was about an 8 on the scale at present.

There's quite a few female characters that could crush MC while barely batting an eye.

I don't mind loosing to a powerfull girl, as long as some facesitting is involved after.....

>implying that some naval commander is on par with gods is laughable

So it's about Diana specifically that bothers you and not just female characters in general? She's about a 7 power level according to Buu (and not a normal human). Considering MC's current power of around 8 is after getting the necklace of Malpheon and learning from his fight against her and other encounters since then, they were probably about the same when they fought. Except MC was drained from running for hours and underestimated her.

That likely also means that Rin is roughly comparable to MC (for now) and Diana since she's also an Ancient "heir" like Diana and has been training her entire life.

Who cares if he wins or looses, they end up fucking anyway
what do you think when Rin meets Eliza ? what happens a bit of jealosy drama ??

Technically, Rin and Eliza already met a few updates ago. It was certainly a brief but exciting encounter.

But yes, I do expect at least a little romantic jealousy there.

is that before Eliza hears about everything that happend on the island? or after?

because a nephilim getting shoved in a locker at every encounter with a female character is a bit odd

You think that will be aknowledged, i really doubt there will be much, if any, difference if the MC taped every ass, or non at all, on that island...
Even if it does, at best you get a remark, then they are back to who gives shit, let's not talk about it again...also there's a lot of girls here who wanna bang.

 

[Rehwyn]

Okay, I gotta ask, but what does them being female have anything to do with their power in a fantasy world? Do you think testosterone or something like that has anything to do with the power of supernatural beings using magical abilities?

P.S. MC fights the strongest fighters of both tribes on the island (both of whom have permanent blessings from a goddess) and does just fine. So your statement isn't even accurate.

Buu has said in Discord he intends there to be a little bit of occasional jealousy, drama, and/or cat fighting in future chapters if you're with multiple women, so I'm not ruling it out. Particularly here because Rin already has a history with MC.

I don't understand why nobody likes the island arc. I think it was because you guys were expecting some fights in that arc, or am I wrong? However, the MC will need all the help he can get, if that church manages to bring Baltazar back. I want to believe that some people in that church, are not normal people, but powerful people. For example: Lux, the man who killed the MC's parents (sorry I forgot his name). There is also the fact that we don't know if there are more members of that church and if they are powerful. That's why I think the protagonist will need all the help he can get.

Most don't like the island arc because it's a rip off of another VN named Lust City, it takes us away from the popular LIs to introduce 649.125 characters of which only 4 or so will actually be important and the rest are just sex scene filler with copies of sex scenes throughout the arc.

Plot wise, the MC is there to rescue that ambassador, and ends up getting power ups, as one does in fantasy adventures. It's went on way too long (it seriously could have been 4 updates, maybe even less). The problem is that for every one plot moment, there was 4-5 lewd scenes, with characters most of us don't care about outside of "this is a good looking Daz model."

As for the sex scenes, you're right, they put in too many. Although I imagine the developer put in so many, as the MC probably won't return to the island for who knows how many updates after that. If you choose to accept the girls on the island, it would make sense that the girls (after solving the conflict between the 2 tribes), will be lonely after the MC has left the island. It is obvious that the girls of the first tribe that we saw, fell in love with the protagonist and I think that in the second tribe, it will be the same. In that case, I would understand why there are so many sex scenes in this arc. Also, let's remember that the first tribe had a place where they gave tribute of lust to one of the goddesses: Malante (I think that's her name).

Well, yeah the MC got stronger and meet the 3 goddesses, which is nice.
As said, the whole island arc could have done in 3-4 episodes, no one would have complained (well beside it being a rip off), but the whole thing is just +90% filler where the dev throws dozens of women at the MC, all completely irrelevant to the story, no character or relationship development or any depth...
IIRC even the dev said, the only one among the tribal girls which is (kinda) important is Echo...

Also, what help are these tribal girls are supposed to be against Taron, not even mentioning Balthasar here...
The only ones which could help in any way are the 2 head-warriors, blessed and with magical weapons...but even them are not particular strong, example, our oh so blessed Riven got easily beaten by a random monster in the temple.

They did say Echo is a "major LI", but didn't mention other tribal girls as major LIs. They use a bit more granular categorization though compared to just main/side LI, so some of the others could potentially still have some importance (even if not as much as Echo and the other major LIs).

Personal, I have a theory that the adoration/worship of all the tribal girls will be important for MC's upcoming Ascension, since particularly with the last update it's becoming apparent that some of them see him (as A'kan) practically as a god.

Like the more people that worship him, the stronger he gets?

You shouldn't take it so literally when a women screams 'oh god'...i mean, understandable Josef thought the same...but yeah

On a more serious note, it's not a bad idea, but i can't see how the worship of a couple of dozens humans will help the MC to reach godhood...if it was that easy there would be no shortage of them.

 

[Rehwyn]

Something to that effect, yes. Maia gives a bit of information in the latest update regarding gods, souls, and how they relate to power and whatnot, but I suspect there's still stuff we don't know. I'm sure gods solicit worship for a reason.

I doubt on its own their worship would do that, but 1) most people don't have a Divine for a father and 2) most people won't be soulbound to three goddesses either (likely around the end of Season 1, which seems like a perfect time for Ascension).

 

[Saphfire]

Well, since 5.9 pretty much forced me to replay from the beginning i realized how fucking much content is already in it.
And it really makes sense. Not only there are more variables that are put to use (harem path) leadership. charisma, persuasion and inimidation. There are many more characters intoduced and the story got not only more renders, but also more lore.
I started Friday evening and i am still in chapter 5 lol. And i shouldnt have killed Irene in my first pt

 

[Dessolos]

Great thing is I planned to replay the game from the start anyways tho I was gonna probably wait 1 or 2 updates after we finish the Island arc just to get the ball rolling and see some Eliza.
