Bit strange that people are complaining about Lena letting Mike fuck her bareback, when there are several choice crossroads where you can decide whether or not to fuck him, whether or not to tell him to pull out and put a condom on and you can choose whether or not Lena lets him cum inside her. I mean it's totally up to the player how they want to play her.
Think back to Eva's last game, in GGGB you start as a girl in a multiple year, loving relationship and right off the bat you can express doubt about whether her boyfriend is good enough for her, you can flirt with another guy and exchange nudes and also flirt with the father of her boyfriend, and that's right at the start of the game. That's not to mention the fact that you can get her to blow a guy just for driving her home and then fuck him a few days later.
Both games have given you ways to play the character/characters in different ways. So it's strange to see a sort of moral panic over a character getting creampied in a game that's got a long way to go before being completed.
While I enjoy GGGB for what it is, its story was mediocre, the characters shallow (except for Jess), and the realism went out the window after a few updates. You can't really use it as an example for good story or character writing. Eva Kiss herself is well aware of that, that's why she really wanted to improve her writing with this game, craft a more serious narrative, with believable and relatable characters, and with a focus on realism (at least as much as it's possible in this type of game). And so far, she did a spectacular job with it, it's obvious to everyone who played it and compared it to GGGB. But I guess she didn't have time to properly flesh out the Mike storyline, and had to rush it, because apparently there were a lot of complaints about the lack of male characters for Lena and the frequent use of condoms. So yeah, what happens with Mike, is very similar in style of the less realistic GGGB, and I guess that's what bothered some of us.
I don't particularly have problems with "
what" happened with Mike, but rather with the lack of justification for any of that taking place, and with the way Lena acts and talks in his presence. There's no "
why" for any of that, there's a catalyst for this change missing. On the meta-level, it's very clear why things can happen that way, but not when you try to analyze the events from Lena's POV based on her previous behavior (being very considerate pf Holly's feelings about Ian and having that emotional rollercoaster with Axel just 1 update ago, regardless of her Lust level). Unlike Ashley, Lena isn't a blank slate where the player can mold her into whatever he pleases. And this newly exhibited behavior doesn't fit her previously established personality, at least not at this point in life, not in these circumstances and definitely not this soon.
