Thank you for the rating and feedback.
If you don’t mind, I’d love to hear more about a few points you mentioned.
Regarding your suggestion to add more detail before the bathroom scene—I was aiming to show that the FMC is still half-asleep and just wants to finish quickly and go back to bed, while also being in a bit of shock from her dream. Do you have any thoughts on what I could add to make that portrayal more convincing?
As for the repetitive dialogue, I’ve already revised v0.5.0, so I’m curious if you’re also referring to the massage scene. If that’s the case, I’ll plan to update it in the next release.
Finally, I really appreciate your understanding of what I’ve been trying to create. Thanks again.
Well, lemme go through it one more time.
Right, so starting off, I misremembered (kind of, because of that other guy), but she does indeed wake up from a wet dream and, as such, that point I mentioned goes out the window. All's well here.
But when it comes to the "being half-asleep" part, she "throws the blanket off in a panic and swings her legs over the edge" doesn't really scream "sleepy" to me, as that implies adrenaline and quick movements.
The hallway lights being on goes against the idea of leaving the lights in the bathroom off (from the perspective of both Blake and Cristine), and it would likely shine some light into the bathroom - so I'd change that to increase "believability", as others have put it. But that also means her eyes should be used to the dark, which is an issue I am unsure how to fix, unfortunately. Maybe something like her turning on the lights in her room and then going into the dark hallway, where she now doesn't see much?
Then you continue with descriptive writing like "still drowsy, still flushed" and "steps in, half-asleep", which is good. But as Jebulus mentioned, there are other things that need to be addressed. While you roughly set the scene, there is nothing that indicates the presence of Blake, like sounds or touch, until it happens, except maybe the smell of the shower and soap, but that's too ambiguous imho. I would suggest she hears something, maybe rustling or something like light breathing or some-such, but is too preoccupied with thinking about her dream in her drowsy state. Maybe she could also smell something like Blakes cologne/deodorant, but think nothing of it.
That is the least I would expect, but you could also go a step further and have her briefly touch Blake in the dark - brush his leg or other parts - but fail to realise (and see, as mentioned in the previous point). This is risky and difficult to pull off believably though, so...
Moving on, Cristine not being able to stand up after sitting down on him because she is "clenched around it–too tight" isn't what I would go with here - I'd suggest leaning more into her losing the strength in her legs as well as an awkward position due to wanting to sit down on the toilet seat; after all, once u commit to sitting down somewhere, it isn't exactly easy to stop suddenly. The only thing stopping her from sitting down completely should be what little strength her legs can muster in her awkward position, imo - at the start, at least. Later, it's the pleasure, obviously.
Moving on to Blake, having him go "just chilling" and "happens" after all this is an issue as well, especially since you said you wanted to emphasise that neither of them actively wanted for this to happen quite yet. He is much too nonchalant. It's fine for Blake to see it coming, wonder what is happening, maybe even realise what is about to happen but not intervening (because, duh), and then being surprised at the sudden pleasure but quickly regaining composure, like "I was wondering what you were doing, I didn't think you had it in you", teasing her while knowing that it wasn't her intention.
This all would also better set up his "blackmail/deal" toward the end, if you want to call it that - he starts off (pleasantly) surprised and slowly takes advantage of the situation opportunistically.
When it comes to repetition, I remember the massage scene being worse than it is, though I'm on 0.5 rn, so you might have already fixed it as you said. You are definitely overusing "–", however, although you can argue that is a stylistic choice. And if you do, I would respect it, it really isn't that big of an issue, though some seem to connect it to ChatGPT-abuse, so for appearance's sake, you may want to use something else ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. I'll be honest here though, I know they serve a specific purpose (symbolising her fragmented thoughts/speech, interruptions as it were) and they are necessary, so I don't know what your options are. You also unnecessarily overuse them: "Up–down–up–down–" could be "Up, down, up, down–" for one, and "Nngh–!!" doesn't really need the dash if she isn't being interrupted – maybe a "~" instead? Some dashes could possibly be replaced by a group of dots also ("..."). The most egregious example of overuse is definitely the massage scene, though.
Lastly, and this is more of a personal note, the end of the bathroom scene seems unfinished. I don't know how much work it would be to make at least one more animation (or at least a series of images), but it would serve to tie in the still frames a bit better: After she rejects Blakes initial proposal of the morning bj and it says "She shifts instinctively, trying to pull away again", it would be nice if we could have a small animation of her slowly lifting herself only to fall back down, which is where the still frames would take over. Obviously, another animation for the thrusts would be ideal, but not strictly necessary I think. If you were to go with this, I'd advise you to make sure Blake doesn't go too deep, as that would eliminate another "first time", as previously mentioned. As it is now, there is a disconnect between the visuals and the writing (and possibly even the sound). Skimping here noticeably detracts from the overall quality, I believe.
