I would have preferred if it was like Between Two Worlds, or the Seven Realms with Eliza as the Hannah / Leyala - always there but with sometimes other opportunities as well. (I wouldn't have taken those opportunities but still ... they could be there.) Edit: I understand what you mean about the writing though - I've shot down every other Li and am officially locked on the friendship path with 5 of them but they all still talk about MC like he's their one and only.)
This approach has its ups and downs. The perfect solution would be if the player could chose the main LI but this would require WAY too much branching for a avn developer at the moment.
I don't like how Leyala was done though, so Eliza having a forced mechanism like a bond would've probably made it worse. The dev should've just wrote Eliza as MC wife from the start or girlfriend. Or just removed the choice to reject her altogether.
And is older then him.Let me guess, she has red hair
I like Hannah and Leyala - but more generally, for story focused AVNs (rather than porn focused) I think getting the romance/dating part out of the way right out of the gate, it allows the Dev to then go ahead and tell their story. Finding opportunities to stick in a lewd scene is easy because you have your main Li - all you have to do is go to bed at night, so there is no weird maneuvering to put you in a situation where you can have sex. In this one, how much time has been devoted to introducing you to new Lis and finding opportunities for you to win them over and then have sex with them, when most of that time could have just been spent telling the story. And again, it becomes especially awkward if you then reject them all.This approach has its ups and downs. The perfect solution would be if the player could chose the main LI but this would require WAY too much branching for a avn developer at the moment.
I dont like between two worlds because i dont really like hannah, dooms the whole avn for me. Leyala is only mid to me which reduces the fun from seven realms too
I would like it here but thats just because i really like eliza
The great thing about this story is the development of the MC and Eliza's relationship. If they had been married straight off, it robs the VN of the best part IMO. MC and Eliza's growing relationship makes the story for me.
Pretty sure Tasha is younger. Unless you're referring to Ophelia lol.
For me, it's the opposite. The start isn't great at all. It's clear the dev is pushing the player towards a specific choice. It doesn't even give you time to decide if you like her or not. It progresses too fast and assumes you're already in love with her. Even though you're given plenty of choices to turn down her advances and prevent yourself from doing it.
I think this also boils down to how you play the game. I generally play these games with my personal feeling I don't give a shit about the MC's. So for me it didn't feel to fast it felt kind of perfect for a slow burn character , as I felt I got to know her and enjoy everything else in between.
The thing is, I'm referring to myself, just like you are. Not the MC. I didn't like Eliza at the start, so having her pushed so hard against me actually was a turn off. Even more so when I chose an option that says we're friends and yet we're acting like lovers and planning our future out after the revenge is done. The game just assumes I'm going to romance her eventually.
I had no feelings for Eliza originally. She grew on me in those chapters and now I just love her character. If the dev is pushing me towards one character doesn't make any difference to me. If I didn't like the character I would have walked away from the VN after a couple of chapters. I have to like her to stay on and I love the Eliza character so much she is the only one who has their own save. Had the dev gone with Kira for example, I would have walked away. I'm not a fan of her character, although Pearl may have kept me around, I don't know.
See, I'm different. I play the game for the lore and story. Eliza isn't the end all be all for me. I have no reason to drop the game because of a single character. There's nothing that says I have to like this character or I can't continue to play the game. It's not as intrusive as it might have came off. It's just clear the dev has his bias and it shows with some of the scenes.
Pretty sure in game, Atlas and Zyair state they're older than her in an earlier section. The official site also says that Tasha is 1,499. Atlas is 2,551 and Zyair is 2336.
