It's really interesting to me that you mention this, as I've been writing narratives in the fan art thread (this is just my first one, working on the second right now-stay tuned) from Laura's perspective with a submissive Laura and a dominant MC, and I have found writing from Laura's perspective, with her being more submissive, flows very nicely since I can map on what I would want submissive Laura to do. Stuff like this really intrigues me, the differences in perspectives from one person to another, especially when we share the same proclivity. I will keep my fingers crossed for the very dom path, and hey, if you ever want suggestions/input/whatever, I'd be happy to helpMy goal is to make it happen. But I'm struggling a bit with it because it's easier for me, as a dom, to write Laura as dom too, than as a sub.
Well, that actually makes a lot of sense now...My goal is to make it happen. But I'm struggling a bit with it because it's easier for me, as a dom, to write Laura as dom too, than as a sub.
You voiced my issue and i think i had a hard time putting it to words.I don't mind there being a "hard" option for a bull, I just dislike the way Oliver was introduced I guess. As a one-off "meet at a bar and fuck" it's fine. Him being a permanent fixture feels "unearned" though. Like nothing established him as a badass or anything. Just made eye contact with a girl looking to fuck and it turned him into a dom asshole somehow. It is what it is though. Can't really take that whole part back. Then the soft backpedal with the "no he's a nice guy, he just acts like an asshole" doesn't help.
Can't please everyone though. A lot of players like him.
It has a lot to do with the little things, Like Laura is still almost 100% in the drivers seat. Most topics are broached by her, she picks her bulls, and picks when where, and sometimes she lets you pick what she wears or does. You have very little actual say in anything she does which is fine for sub but the Dom needs a bit of a rewrite to make the MC be the one to make some of the choices she makes. It needs to have some things become his ideas that he expressed his desire to see her do, and she then follows his requests or commands eagerly.Well, that actually makes a lot of sense now...
Having played through the dom, sub, and very sub routes, I’ve got to say, the dom route doesn't quite hit the same way as the other two. It feels a bit plain in comparison, almost like it’s missing that extra spark. Sometimes, I even catch myself thinking Laura’s messaging in the dom route leans more towards the sub route side.
That does bother me a bit too, the "he's nice for real, it's all an act" Laura tries to tell us. We have nothing to go on, Laura has never said he was nice at any point and all of her interactions with him have been heavily sex focused, so when could have possibly shown her this "nice" side? So what she she chatted him up a little at the bar? Then when she took him into the bathroom and he went all SuperDom on her and never looked back, when has been a nice guy? It just kind of feels like she wants to keep fucking him and is trying to placate the MC to me, or she is defending him because she's too nice or some other reason. IDK it feels off. With Nathan he was chill and clear when he was acting it up. Oliver is no chill all asshole all the time.I don't mind there being a "hard" option for a bull, I just dislike the way Oliver was introduced I guess. As a one-off "meet at a bar and fuck" it's fine.

You've mentioned a couple times you're pretty much playing it by ear and don't really have a long-term plan. I would highly, highly recommend making one, even if you don't end up following it. At least an ending point, something to build up to and conclude the story. Yes, there's the concerns about the design-by-committee effect the current approach can have (i.e., the people more interested in standard NTR fare being very vocal), but honestly for me it's more that the 'exciting' parts are becoming kinda dull.Between 0.12 and 0.13, I will also have a lot of polls on the Patreon aiming to get opinions on recurring feedback. Things like the bulls talking to MC, the pace of the story, the amount of blowjobs, the amount of photoshoots, etc...
++I think someone said that but what i really want to see in future updates is pictures from different angles than we are used to and maybe more expression from Laura
