I can understand attacking that garden gnome Ian,but Lena,the woman that carries this game?
Thats crazy

He's got his own gravitational pull, so that's not a surprise.Stan at the center of it
U know the games gonna be super stale and safe when the word "modern audience" is be used. Had every bad experience with DAV.Stan fans are like modern audience, almost don't exist here.
But there is a whole army of them on Patreon
Who u calling garden gnome?? Ian around the same height as pretty much any other character in the game.I can understand attacking that garden gnome Ian,but Lena,the woman that carries this game?

Even Robert is taller than him and hes the scuffed Ian that no one likesWho u calling garden gnome?? Ian around the same height as pretty much any other character in the game.
That's the intended appeal, for sure, but its badly implemented. Stan is on standstill for 11 chapters, then Lena suggests him to work out and encourages him by making with him out. Thats all the development and its as rushed as it is unconvincing.I am not a big fan of Stan but I can see reasons why some may like him. He might be just the kind of guy some of us were or even still are, playing adult games and wanking much too often thinking about those naughty girls. So some may identify with him . Think about it!
Yup, Robert was a favourite of her's to write, and expected him to be like a Mini-Seymour, but fans never liked it. Stan the Man I guess is a relatable character.My conspiracy theory is that EK never expected Stan to become popular with the patreons,she actually expected Robert to somehow be a fan favourite.
Maybe im completey wrong about this but theres something about Robert path that makes me think EK had more plans for him and did a 180 later on when she realized no one actually likes him
Yes, it's been discussed but it is what it is.I think the bigger issue is that Lena's options are just kind of shit. Her best options are unironically Ian and Holly.
Stan could have worked as a simp to take advantage of. First getting easy money for the photos and then getting him to pay the rent and even some gifts just in exchange for letting him watch Lena getting fucked by others and her presence. Or if you want to play a kind Lena, refusing him gently would have Stan go the full incel route and be an enemy for Lena and Louise. Recording them with hidden cameras for blackmail, hacking their phones or some shit like that. Maybe even him going violent to get some drama and some Lena's LI being the hero.That's the intended appeal, for sure, but its badly implemented. Stan is on standstill for 11 chapters, then Lena suggests him to work out and encourages him by making with him out. Thats all the development and its as rushed as it is unconvincing.
If he started poorly in chapter 1, but got rejected by Lena right in say chapter 2, then spend the entire game picking himself up, step by step motivating and redeeming himself, it could work. Instead he is a nothing burger for 11 chapters until the incel confession he could've had at the beginning of the game. He has the same low self-esteem as Holly, but Holly makes far quicker and far more often moves on Ian and changes much more fluid and rapidly.
This was much better done with Eric in the first game, who also starts as a whimp, but progresses significantly better paced to the either cuck or chad path, despite not even having much screen presence.
In summary, Stan lacks both quantity and quality in writing. Just being a mirror for the average loser nerd isn't enough, you want that projection of yourself to either succeed (power fantasy) or fail (self-loathing confirmation). Stan isn't managing either of them greatly.
