Love hate relationship with NTRPG and HC, think I differ as to why than most here though. For me the biggest downside is its not all one antagonist, the Duke getting all 4 main girls would be way hotter. Multiple antagonists are so weird to me, same when they pass girls around they are all just cucks at that point.
Ulrod is especially boring though, childhood friend? Really, he might as well be a vanilla protag. I love the Duke and the princess though, but I wish he won more by general sexual corruption than the towers/promise of keeping the secret stuff.
I dont mind multiple antagonists so long as they are going for different girls. I dont like the girl being shared around.(Just makes the girls whores and the guys cucks 100% agree with you on that)
The duke is by far the best route so far. Just wish it was not basically blackmail that got him the girl.
Ulrod is a nothing burger at this point. Just a simp trying to get his childhood friend, the worse twist in a NTR porn game ever.
The bratty rich kid is fine, especially after we got the stuck up second nun.
The magic man is mea, I would have much preferred the drunk tavern owner brother instead. But maybe we get some redemption if magic guy hands the girl over to the racist old noble to break her in.
Then we get a bunch of side characters with mini storys, which is something I think HC does well. It makes the world seem worth exploring. I hope we get to see someone get the 2 tribal girls. (Hopefully not Ulcuck)
In fact the only real way I see Ulrod route getting some redemption, is if that young private steals his girl. Ulrod might as well be another protag for all im concerned.
