and you're forgetting(i'm guessing) the part where she admits that SHE needs/wants HIM and stating that MC has no leverage...i mean...shouldn't be about convincing MC to join her? and if MC didn't care about the blackmail, what would have happened? She would have actually spread the picture that shows a girl naked and MC looking? the girl is ayase's bestfriend, without context can be MC and Ayase's friend hooking up in an alley, also if police(bc rape is a serious accusation) questions how she got the picture what is she going to say? That she watched her bestfriend being raped instead of trying to save her or call the police for help? or she'll say "i saved her after taking the picture"? I can go on(and maybe i will) but between the alley scene and the blackmail there are so many things that can go wrong and actually BACKFIRE Ayase or her friend(depending on how you see it, Waka/Ayase's friend can be accused of public indecency) and if Ayase&Friend are such good people, why would they even go along with the blackmail stuff? Also does Waka know about Ayase's vigilantism? To get along with the plan of accusing MC of rape, Waka must be informed first, afterall she is the presumed victim!

That's why i said that the blackmail doesn't/shouldn't work, because too many variables to check, so not only it's a stupid scene but also it's not thought through(which is usually why a scene is called stupid)...and it's voided by the fact that Ayase NEEDS MC, meaning that if MC is in jail she can't use him/be helped by him...so MC has ALL the leverage, but he is too dumb to see it and Ayase too full of herself to really understand how stupid her plan is...and that's on the dev who wrote them like this.
Totally agree with you, almost made me give up on this game the moment I saw the scene, Ayase is an idiot, but the MC... damn, he's beyond dumb and stupid, I'd even say he's retarded and a weakling! guess it's either porn games devs are weakling themselves, hates strong and smart male MCs or don't know how to write good strong and smart male MCs. :unsure:

weakling no, because he fough 4 thugs alone and then gg-easy his way against Ayase...but dumb? He is in the top5 most idiotic MC in VNs..maybe not on the podium but by a narrow margin

In regards to the blackmailing stuff, I came across a similar situation in a different game called Twinewood (Good game despite the scene in question btw, check it out.) about a week ago.

I guess I'll say the same thing here: I understand the story needs to move forward, but just pushing past something like that feels like shit. I don't expect the MC to open up a can of Whoop Ass, but I'd like to be able to express some level of resentment.

That said I'm sticking with this game despite all that because the rest of it seems pretty good. (Not that I'm a paying customer or anything.)

Nobody ever said that people shouldn't play the game...just that some scenes are done poorly, without considering lots of situational-factors, like the dev didn't even consider "what if Ayase's plan of blackmailing MC would fail?", because he is the writer and decided that the plan will work regardless, no matter what, without thinking about the several things that may go wrong, like MC not caring about his reputation, or Ayase's friend involvement, afterall if Ayase spreads that picture, she'll be showing also her friend(aka Waka)'s naked body...which can't be good for her

Yeah I agree, I just didn't want to leave a purely negative comment. I've seen a quite a few threads descend into a death-spiral of hate.

That's the neat thing: We're not hating, we're criticizing, we're harsh but fair, we don't shit on the game just because, we call out some of the things that we believe are a problematic issue

Again, I agree. You seem overly invested. I wasn't trying to imply anything, but if you took it that way then that's on you.

This is a part of what I meant by turning into a hate spiral btw, so I'm bowing out here, hope you cool off man.

Doesn't matter Rape is a traumatizing events especially for a virgin and developers playing it of like it another day in life is pretty shitty thing to do. So, at the end of the day it doesn't matter if they got raped or not. I simply don't enjoy watching thugs sexually assaulting possible li and then it being treated as norm. It not like that the only issues with the game. There is vast amounts of characters with no background information and unrealistic robotics dialogues/response.
I agree, I personally stopped two rapes, beating the crap out of them, it almost came back to haunt me as they were gang bangers, but everything worked out I went in the Navy... Got out of town when I heard through the grape vine... they said they had killed me in a contract.... Liars and weak preying on victims. When you hand them their asses they are not nearly as tough.

If the dev watches this thread, could we please have options in the game to ignore the girl in the mask, like when she gets jabbed with the needle, can we like leave her to her fate, I know it sounds like an asshole move, but I want an option where the mc is or can be the asshole that she portrays him to be, if it's not an option I understand and I'll move along to another game that fills the criteria I'm looking for.

It's just I've seen too many games where the mc is this 'hero' who is always standing up for other girls even to his own detriment, but it's your game so by all means make it how you want, just thought I'd put my thoughts out there in case you decide to look in here.

The dev doesn't really post here, so you won't get an answer directly from them. That said, that's definitely never going to be an option. She's an integral person to the entire plot of the game, and she is likely a forced LI (to the point that one of the biggest complaints even most fans have about the game is that we're forced to overlook her blackmailing bullshit). So, yeah, if you're looking for a game where you're not a hero, this won't be it. Nor will most harem games.

That's a shame, the game has potential, but I'd like the option to avoid her path as much as possible, if that's not going to be an option then all I can do is wish the dev luck and move on to pastures new.

I have played other harem games where certain LI were able to be avoided to some degree so thought I'd put the question out there.

Like that guy can literally read the whole thread so far(2 pages) and like 90% of the comments are about how bad it is, not the forcing a Love-Interest itself but rather the execution of it....

Does anyone know if this is gonna play out as a kinetic novel in which I'm forced into a harem? There aren't many choices, and the beginning scene makes it seem like I have no choice as to which girls I want to get involved with.
