I guess I'm saying people aren't going back to "the rules" like I keep doing. I'm not particularly interested in the dom route. I play the balanced route, but I think my complaints would apply to either.

It's becoming a common problem with these games, there's a few out there where the couples state rules and they shortly go out the window... Then the walls between NTR and NTS get blurred.
I maintain this is due to the fact that these games are always told from the Male characters PoV and there's only so much you can do with it. Let's face it, if the MC is letting the GF cuck him. It's the GF story and should be told from her perspective... There's more opportunities there.

i think he meant "making the same complaints as his", which isn't specifically about dom route.
His concerns are in general, about Laura following the boundaries set in place.
---
as one who has only sung praise for the update, i still agree with the others' feedback.
i don't play dom route so i don't know about their concerns
and i'm originally from NTR niche (sub leaning), so i probably wouldn't have noticed it either.
those who enjoyed the update would likely still enjoy it even if the others' concerns are addressed.
i'm just saying, we don't need to stick to what it is now just because some people enjoyed it.
for me at least, even if changes are made to satisfy the dom enjoyers, i'd still love the game afterwards.
most times, you can't please everyone. but in this case, I think they deserve the dom route.

They did, it was one of the prerequisites for Laura to even consider doing it at all.
That one I can understand and see, even for the Sub/very Sub route, sure, there degradation/humiliation ect is part of the play and fine there, but the "keep me updated and send pictures" is kind of a cornerstone of the whole thing, haven't played the update tho, so I am holding my judgement
I said that in regards to breaking what was already agreed upon, I should have clarified that better. It's not "spontaneous" when you're ignoring the agreement you and your partner made out of trust. At that point, it's just called being at best neglectful and at worst an cheating asshole.

For the Dom here, angry at the latest chapters, please remember that next version is mostly aimed at adding a Very Dominant route, one that actively makes Laura ask for your permission to do things.

This 100% this. It's as I said before, the walls between NTR and NTS are getting blurred like they often do.

I play the balanced route, and I think that this update could lead to some interesting developments down the road.
Sure, in chapter 27, you could argue that Laura goes too far and that this may put a strain on hers and MC's relationship/test it (and you'd be right, imho). But I didn't get the feeling that she did it on purpose, just that she got carried away by the excitement and the novelty of it all. However, although she and MC didn't talk about this (yet?), I see chapter 28 as her trying to make amends (especially depending on what you choose re the
scene). This may move the plot along regarding
, and a new conversation about rules and boundaries could actually be on the menu, let's wait and see.
About the dom route vs the sub route, as the variations are just a few dialogue lines here and there, it seems very difficult to me to have them cohabit--I mean, some scenes would have to be extensively rewritten for both to work, imho (I gave the dom route a try thorugh the Memories, and the main changes I got were Laura refering to herself as a slut and a cumdump (or something to that effect), it certainly didn't scream "dom" to me (but then, I have trouble visualizing how a dom/very dom (where the MC calls the shots) and a sub/very sub (where Laura does whatever she wants and probably humiliates the MC too, to boot) routes could coexist just by changing a couple of lines here and there. The mood of some dialogues would have to be totally different for it to work, imho (heck, just the character of Oliver is a problem for the dom route, although he's interesting for the balanced route as he "helps" Nathan know what his role is in the MC/Laura relationship (ie
)--but he may also become a "problem" for the balanced route if not taken down a peg or two soon enough).
Also, Le Stag, is it me, or is there an issue with the balanced route in the last update?
Maybe this is linked to Memories? (I mean, I tried a couple of Memories before this update 'mainly to give the dom route a try in chapters 24-26), and although I walked them back in the main game, Ashley is now back to calling me "cucky", which was a clear no-no from the get-go between us, so maybe there are some... 'artifacts' (for lack of a better word) that are left when you play a Memory?

Duh, lightsaber. I went with the helmet because I was thinking "i gotta make it clear that this is Vader". But yeah, lightsaber would have done it. Yours is better.

Laura gets "carried away" and forgets about MC over and over though.
Hey, I'm super horny from flirting with Nathan at this party, gonna come home and fuck you. Nope, gonna sleep with him at Ashley's place instead.
Hey, I'm done with Nathan, gonna come home and fuck you. Nope, gonna blow him one more time.
Hey, I blew a guy at the bar and I'm super horny, gonna come home and fuck you. Nope, gonna go to Ashley's place and fuck him instead.
Hey, I know I said we'd share this thing by me sending you pics and recounting my exploits, but gonna fall asleep and let the bulls tell you what they did to me instead.
I may have even missed one, I dunno. Le Stag seems into that scenario. And a lot of the game's fans seem to too.
It's hard to please everybody. I don't really have a solution short of rewriting half the game, which isn't practical. I haven't played the newest update yet but if I take other folks' posts at face value, it sounds like a turnoff to me.

It is possibly being done on purpose now - we are getting a Very Dom route after all. Maybe MC just gets sick of all the "rule breaking" and puts his foot down as a way to get us on this route.
I love to break it to you, but adding lines of colored text to the same text is not dialogue variations, and defiantly not different routes. You may call it pseudo-route, if you like, but even in very sub "route" where not just additional lines of text, but actually some work done with new scenes and editing, it far away from how real routing looks like.
The skipping context without any replacement or variations is not choosing the bull. You just skipping context.
Since it's completely different genre, let me recommend you to play "Our Red String" just for the purpose to understand how different routes suppose to look.
Not to trying to ruin your dreams, but - yes, dev announced about very DOM route, - but long time before that he also confirmed this game will be only linear kinetic novel with slight variations of events and text.
