Okay needed restart cause dev added shit loads in between and specially at start, incl new girl, more story, variables and such. I didn't start till 0.6.0
yeah, in 0.5.9
he reworked everything, the variables, harem route, added new characters, side stories, expanded content for some characters, including some whom you might have killed originally, Hint: like someone you come across with Eliza early in the game and possibly, someone on an island
On the other hand, at least he wasn't disappointed when he didn't meet a new potential member of his harem in the latest release of the game...Finally got to play the update, and i gotta say...i fell sorry for the MC the whole time, he got blue balled at every turn

dunno, maybe it´s just me, but as a light path player Pearl just killing Brenda totally killed any excitement to even continue playing. What was the point of fucking her and even gaining points if she ends up dead anyway?? Brutally nailed to wall
after getting tortured by a LI in a way that makes me want to go back and never get together with that psycho bitch. Fuuuuuck you, Dev for killing my interest in Pearl -.-
Shit like this reminds me of the Eliza scene that got reworked to have a choice when she just killed the innocent girl.
Sure, Brenda ain´t innocent, but she was on her way to make amends. The worst Part? The Brenda sex scene was the last one before a complete blue ball update. Giving us the middlefinger 2 updates in a row... impressive

The dev never hid that both of them are unhinged. The biggest mistake, I think, is that he made the MC forget that fact and kind of love them unconditionally, even if you rejected them. The lack of nuance is a shame.
That's not how I understood Brenda, but I agree it's up to interpretation. I saw Brenda's seducing the MC as her trying to get one over on the twins, or maybe buying his protection. Her change in attitude seemed to be about survival, not a genuine change of heart.

My point is more, during the Brenda scene we had 3 options. Letting her satisfy us, turning her down politely and pushing her off.
With the first 2 being light options, it gives me the feeling that i´m about to accept her as a lover (maybe not a main girl, but a side chick) after the first choice (possibly dominating her) and staying neutral during the second, still letting her survive.
The third option (the dark choice) opens up the possibility to let pearl just kill her.
That, i could have accepted.But letting us fuck her just to see her getting killed straight after? Hell nah. That shit gives me snuff vibes. Just not fitting for a light playthrough imho.
Oh, sure it´s about survival for her. And yes, she wanted to one up the twins, but given said choices, dominating her during the first option and showing her who´s boss and making her your little pet? Hell yeah. Brenda is already obsessed with MC´s cock. A small impulse like " if you ever want to feel this cock again, do everything the twins say" could be enough.
Sadly, that wasn´t the case and all we got was the end of a snuff porn.

haha this is where we disagree I see Brenda as the psycho bitch and she got what was coming to her. Tho I guess there is a small chance the Island arc changes my mind on that but I doubt it

Yeah, I do see that point. And, if I remember correctly, then the MC never saw Brenda's fate; the render was only for players.
So if you're playing a light path MC who forgives anything and everyone, including the twins betraying him... That does feel dirty, to say the least. Then there's also the aspect of killing a prisoner of war, while the twins always said they never attacked innocents. (I'm not saying Brenda is innocent, but she was captured and unarmed.)
The interesting thing here is that the MC doesn't know anything about Brenda. He would've heard a thing here or there but knows only a fraction of what the player has seen. Even if he fucks her, he doesn't care about her, which adds to how weird the whole situation is.

And? Nothing wrong with different opinions. In my opinion it´s just not fitting on a light playthrough where i want everyone to survive. Dark playthrough/Dark choice? Enjoy. Hell, you even have the choice to let the assassins live who literally wanted to kill MC. What exactly did Brenda do? Take over Looters Bay and Plan to take out Pearl and Kira? If we´re playing spot the difference, i just don´t see it.
THANK YOU for acknowledging that part and being respectful
I actually started to think i´m going crazy.

yeah nothing wrong with you thinking differently. I just kind disagree about Peral being called Psycho and not Brenda more or less as I saw Brenda as worst so in my mind they are both a little crazy to different degree's . Unless the Island arc changes my mind but I don't think that it will. The way Brenda was talking about torturing one of the sisters while the other one watched made me can't wait for her to die. So when I read Peral does it I was really happy. That includes my light playthrough as well as I don't really think everyone needs i survive on a light playthrough either just not the MC doing Dark deeds. I would include Eliza in that only due to her being a vampire as well cause Vampires can be rather unhinged when they go dark side.

I think that, if Pearl killed Brenda in combat, nobody would be batting an eye. In this case, she killed an unarmed prisoner who was still trying to negotiate her freedom.
On my playthrough I declined all but 5 girls (Eliza, Alice, Rin, Luna, Sylph) ,that includes Kira and Pearl. Didn't like them,said no.
Granted, MC still simps like a kid seeing first pretty woman in his life over them, but they're rejected romantically.
And then Pearl goes and kills Brenda. Yeah it's kind of annoying there's 99% chance there will be 0 repercussions for what she did. MC will still simp, story will move on.
It annoyed me so much I reloaded my save (after initially rejecting her softly) and fucked her.
So at least now I live with my head canon Pearl did it out of jealousy.

Same here.
Mainland harem FTW. (I'll probably include the princess.)
At least she went out with a bang.

yeah I can see that being the real issue for many people. Maybe id feel differently when I play that part soon but I still think I wouldn't feel bad for Brenda or dislike Peral for doing it either. Cause of how Brenda soured my opinion of her so to me I only wanted to see her dead or imprisoned as I would never of granted her freedom anyways. Now if it was someone else or they didn't do enough wrong to me id agree.

Yeah, I can see that point as well. Certainly if you're on a dark or mixed playthrough, then the "you fucked with mine so you die" is perfectly valid.
See the thing is, I can say the same about Pearl.
My MC is still on light path total, but he's killed everyone that actively went against him.
Rapist guy and his girlfriend early? Dead.
Assassin later? Dead.
And so on. Didn't kill Serenas sister, and mostly stuck with light, but anyone who stood in MCs path or threatened his loved ones died.
So Pearl stealing artifact would instantly mean she'd be head shorter the second MC reached pirate bay.
Instead the only option is lovey-dowey or "awww, poor Pearl, best I leave her alone for now".
Screw that, death to traitors. And Brenda has done nothing to MC.

I kind of played the same way on my main save but I do disagree with you on Peral but that is cause I tend to like to hear people out first. So when I did I change my mind from killing Peral to forgiving her and helps we got the artifact back. Now if the artifact was lost and no other way to help Eliza than yeah Peral would of been so dead for me. Which is funny cause I killed Selena's sister but that was more cause I saw it as she hurt Eliza so she can suffer even if an innocent got hurt.
Yeah, Serena was hot point of discussion when that update released and my opinion ultimately shifted to "if option allowed killing Serena, she'd be dead". Her sister is innocent young woman, it would be evil person butchering innocent if I did it.
And yeah, get your point, and that's where my opinion is different (in this VN at least). No 2nd chances. No listening to why: you put my loved ones in danger (which she did), you're gone (as much as dev allows it of course).
Unfortunately (but understanding why from dev perspective), 0 consequences for Pearl and constant MC simping after that just made me completely hate her.
I don't care about Brenda either way, wouldn't choose her for LI anyway, but I'd still pick her over Pearl.
