VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch. 13.1 BETA] [Eva Kiss]

Honestly this romantic turn is a bit hard to believe considering he has been set up to be this story's antagonist and possibly tries to blackmail Lena into the contract. Personally if this was the direction she wanted to take the route instead of being so antagonistic like I described he should have been trying to temp her with the good life harder instead. This could lead to the possible Emma "corruption" being more believable. The execution just seems really off. Unless this is just a ploy to have Lena lure Emma to him.

I do see what you mean and believe me, when I realized my posh Lena, who had initially shown some reserve in signing the contract but was won over by the money and gifts, started making noises in this update about maybe being the one Seymour could fall in love with again... I was not thrilled. My choices, of course, but I didn't really see it coming. But I do agree with ffive: why wouldn't a posh Lena be swept away by this strange but powerful and rich older man who seems to dote on her and gives her money and gifts and flatters her beauty and encourages jaw-dropping orgasms? And helps get her Mom the medical care she needs, and takes an interest in her friend/boyfriend Ian who is trying to win his publishing contest. So what if he refers to her as "doll" a time or two or in every third sentence?

I haven't checked the exact stats on choices, but I would guess the more reluctantly Lena has been going along with all this, the less starry-eyed she is, and we get the comments about having him where she wants him, etc. If a player's Lena were forced down the starstruck route, I'd be really annoyed, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

I do agree with you, however, that Seymour's romantic affections in response to Lena's are still not to be trusted, and may well be a ploy to lure in Emma. And not even for there to be (yet) any kind of sexual component, just to be able to get to one of the primary people in Baluart organizing protests against him, and co-opt her if he can. "My friend Peter, who's running for mayor, is looking for someone like you to be an authentic voice for the less fortunate on his campaign, and run his Community Outreach program for him. What would you say to that, an important job and the authority to shape the next mayor's policies from inside his team?" And if on one side Emma has Lena saying "Seymour's really not that bad a guy, look what he did for my Mom" and on the other side Ian (who she may, now, be getting into a relationship with) saying "Seymour's really not that bad a guy, look at how he's helping launch me as a published author"...

That is my thought too. A roast Emma may be in the workings. A surprise for me.
I think EK is just losing stamina. These so called updates are quickly played and lacking in erotic interest in my reluctant view. I get the feeling they are just stop gaps to not lose patrons too quickly.

I'm sure he's still the main villain. Seymour will "reveal his cards" at the right time.

a bit useless update. Difficult to be interested in Seymour who (I previously defined im this way) is a Bond villain.
Seymour is liked by every despicable character in the game and on top of that the "corruption route" in general does not pay off that much with crazy debouchery (orgies, Axel-Ian-Jeremy conquering the world...)

Please god,no...

Please no. Anything but that.

Well in an earlier post I posited the idea in a "fillets vs. roasts" sort of way. But I am no longer optimistic. But hey....please do not be so down.....authors have been known to get "second winds". Maybe Arthur will take over Lena.

Plot twist

 

[Ray_D]

Seymour route I think is what Eva wanted to happen in real life or just her personal fetish, having a billionaire with a lot of power, acting high and mighty, suddenly found you interesting and shit happened, and you found out that he is a simp for you

It's like those novels where the FMC got pampered, spoiled by some random handsome CEO that they meet by accident when walking around the city, going from zero to hero, from peasant to a queen, type of shit

Why are you surprised that's the average woman's fantasy.

Evakiss lost her touch,is over

I think she can be made to regain it. I prescribe stone walls, ceiling, and floors, one naked 40-watt bulb....900 kilocalories average per day, but metered with delivery of satisfactory content (I recommend that Dolfe67 to be the judge) ...a limited internet connection. Who knows what might come out of such a dark castle?

 

[BigAlzBub]

Perhaps she is just trying to avoid the trope of "evil capitalist, does evil, for reasons..."
If this is the case, then I support her effort to at least try, even if it falls flat on its face.

I only played one route in this update.

I mean it's not even specifically woman's fantasy. As if guys don't lap up all that power fantasy isekai drivel where they get randomly hit by a truck and wake up in new world, now all special and admired by everyone, with women dropping their panties at the mere sight of them.

Wait....that's just a fantasy?

Fuck!

Seymour, Alex and Ivy and perhaps Jack who we saw are the antagonists of the story. remember that at the beginning it was Ivy who suggested that Lena do a photo shoot, I think. And as luck would have it Alex poses and he is a photographer and knows Seymour very well since we saw them when they were at the nightclub with Ian and Jeremy. the game offers a lot of routes and the route of lust and luxurious life must be one of them now knowing if lena will convince Emma difficult to say. I would say yes seeing Emma wobble and turn her jacket around where we see Seymour dominating her could be interesting. Anyway, that was my point of view.

IIRC Seymour meets Lena at public photo exhibition. The photos were taken by one of Lena's friends, neither Axel nor Ivy had anything to do with it.

It was the thin man who took the pictures. "Danny" perhaps?

Still waiting for that Non-meat bag male character for lena. There is no non-shitty love route for Lena not including Ian. Maybe Robert? But he's a dick because he holds your job over you to date him. Name one positive male relationship in Lena's route. This must be how women feel watching Micheal Bay movies.
