VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch. 12.3 Beta] [Eva Kiss]

[Geralt From Rivia]

Jokes aside, NGL i feel genuinely sorry for Lena on Mike's path -- she seems to be in a bad spot mentally after the Axel fiasco, deriving all her self-worth from the sense of being special because she'd get a guy like Mike to cheat on his gf with her, gets obsessed with it to the point she develops serious feelings for him, and then it all comes crashing down when he casually fucks Ivy and then effectively telling Lena she's an idiot for thinking he saw her as anything but an easy lay.

From the very beginning, I perceived Mike’s path as such a fuckbuddy without obligations and understood that there could be nothing serious about it. It's just good sex and that's it. Besides, starting a relationship with a cheater is such an idea, not the best. But I don't like how this part is written, where Lena is butthurted permanently when she finds out that Ivy hooked up with Mike. There must be an option that Lena is considering this casually and don't make a big deal. We may not be angry with Ivy, but in the case of Mike, Lena becomes braindead, although before that there were no symptoms that she was obsessed with him. This is more of a forced drama by Eva.
Ofc I understand, that on full corruption path Lena is a trashy person by herself.

Hmm i'd say there were signs from early on that Lena is treating it more than just a random hookup (both in her internal monologues and dialogues with Mike) but yes, a lack of option to avoid it is rather railroading. Then again, some other paths are like this (Lena not being able to take Louise's feelings seriously, Ian being pretty much limited to lovey-dovey path with Holly) so i suppose this boils down to amount of time/resources available.

That's what, a casual path and being chill about Ivy is the way to go. But for drama's sake, Lena gets butt hurt in that path too. Her one-sided deranged romance path is understandable in that she thinks she owns Mike fully. Like I said before, her wits points should be converted to lust or be dropped. The girl is thinking from her clit. Future Yandre path for this romantic path soon?

Not to worry, the resources will be spent on a random cameo that will make Holly cheat instantly or with literally below 3RPs.

This would be actually pretty awesome, if you get option to be the yandere for once.

The way her monologues are getting deranged every chapter for Mike is making me anxious and excited to see this shit show of a relationship. She might make Stan her accomplice for carrying out her dirty deeds.
Stan be like - "Muh, Queen. UwU"

With Holly you can try a little kinky route, avoiding vanilla romance, for example in sex, we still can do her rough.
And Louise's relationship as a whole cannot be taken seriously, just like Louise. But true, if Eva had focused more on the important plot threads rather than the dubious stuff, she could have spent more time on them.

Lena is a new Alison here

Some users here will be happy about it. Wink-wink.

Jack's code BTW
(if lena_jack == 2) , just 2 RP to drill Lena. We spent 4 chapters for her (high lust invitation) otherwise chapter 5. Oh God, there is Alison too, welp Ian/Mike are getting their hands tied down soon lol. Why is Louise still in the game? Hope she never comes back from her dad's place. Stan stans are gonna love the 'helping muh queen quest'

I believe that is equivalent to Beauty "privilege" of girls. That some man have to work hard to get what they want such as raising status(can be no. of reasons, such as how girls perceive man's status value, looks, etc.) while who are already high enough in that regard can easily get a girl/s.
For example: Cindy may not have indulged in Ian if he was still like what he was at the start of game.

True. Jack is a big fish in both GGGB and ORS universe.
Cindy talks about Ian being handsome but I found this #findme code, what a surprise by EK.

c "Well... I always thought you were handsome, and we got along right off the bat..." #findme - it's not accurate to their relationship in Ch 1

You are spot on with the example on Cindy/Ian even EK has it under her codes. Damn.

That is dope that EK SPECIFICALLY mentioned it!
Writing minor details!

That scene with Jack felt so forced.

 

[SerHawkes]

That scene with Jack felt so forced.

It was. In short?

It was completely out of left field. Zero build up. Zero prep. Just 'Oh here, You can fuck Jack with x Lust, even though it's a rinse-repeat of Axel's scenes' and have a entirely pointless cameo character be added for no reason other than a possible dick for Lena to ride and apparently be perma added for Lena, while Ian likely won't be able to shack up with Nat but potentially BG Jess...'

Yeah. Lewdness lacking story here.

 

[SerHawkes]

That would earn a drop kick to the balls and destruction of his computers, no lie.

 

[dontcarewhateverno]

Agreed, he is tall, handsome and pretty chill. Just needs a good nudge from his friends to have a bright future. Perry 'the anchor' needs to either reform or leave Wade alone. Regarding his ending, I believe if Wade/Cindy do communicate they might make it work or if they break up Wade's redemption might go into overdrive making him more attractive and successful. Meanwhile, Cindy realises it was a mistake to leave him when it's already too late.

Yep. I could definitely see them having a "happy" ending scenario together, where they both work on their own internal and relationship issues, after finding they still care for each other. Agreed. I just don't think it's Wade's "best" possible ending, since they're just not right for each other. Even at a 10 for looks, her crazy/hot chart reading is a toss-up.

Cindy's best pairing both genetically and personality-wise is either an Axel type where they're both completely vapid (& deserve each other's shit), or as a sugar-baby trophy wife to some rich schmuck (Seymour) or hell, even a newly cuckold-doormat Stan type if he strikes it rich from some app. She could get her satisfaction from the Tennis Pro or the poolboy. Would make a great cougar in 10-15 years.

A reformed Wade makes him even more appealing to female characters than if he'd never been in a rut at all, if female ticket sales on rom-coms are any indication. The dark horse "you're supposed to hate him at first" or "I can fix him" that actually gets fixed, but still has an edge to him. Could see potentially a Lena situation (especially in an Ian/Cindy cheater paring) and definitely an Ivy option for him, though I don't think Ivy would be an ideal match. Ivy might actually have a pairing with trust-fund enriched P-P-P-P-Perry too in a very odd relationship where she still gets run-through & keeps the porn up, which he enthusiastically puts up with (Pikachu face). She'd be a great wielder of a 14" horsecock strap-on as a back-up to his Emma option.

So... Wade/Jeremy canon ending? Practically ment for each other.

I said this in the past,Axel-Cindy makes way more sense than Cindy-Ian ever will.

 

[Leongen43]

I always saw both Jeremy/Ivy and Cindy/Axel as better options for them than Ian, even if it weren't for Mike's refusal, he always seemed like a better option for Lena because they have a lot in common, for me the best option for Ian is Holly or Cherry who have quite a few things in common, even though I like the Ian/Lena scenes for some reason I don't feel it is natural to their relationship but rather a bit forced, that's what it seems to me, right?

Alright so after going through some #findme codes which EK has personally written. Here are some of them.

Note, these are simply records of bugs, conflicting narrative or unimplemented yet bits of code that needs attention down the road. The findme makes it easier for text editor search to pick these up (and some IDE will collect a list automatically)

If you went grapple here is how you win :

First Round:
Guard > provoke >Grapple on the counterattack >Trip or Throw >Secure the position > Go for a Choke >Squeeze > Tie him up.This results in taking one minor ht in the last 30 secs before the round ends.

Second Round:
you get clobbered in the opening no matter what you pick,I usually pick block because it looks like you take the least damage.Attack > Grapple > Trip him > Pin him Down > Pin him Down (again) > Go for a Choke > Keep Squeezing > Keep Squeezing !(again).

You can do it all with only Athletics.

Thank you!!! Do you know any instructions if you decide to take up boxing?
