During their investigation, they learn that one of their parents is an alien sent to create a super incestuous alien-human hybrid.
I would, I hate POV shifts in these games.
Don't mind Pov Shifts, easier to create more context in certain scenario's. Been reading some stories where there is allot going on and if the Pov is mainly MC centric it can get weird and stale.I would, I hate POV shifts in these games.
Agreed. I think POV shifts, in general, when used in VNs, just speak to bad/lazy writing. It's all about establishing a story's internal logic and structure. It works (at least from a technical if not workload standard) in ORS because two MCs were established and given equal time from the start. Once a writer establish a story's internal rules, they need to follow them or the narrative turns disjointed. It could be done, carefully and selectively, with a third MC, but there would need to be a strong reason, shown to the player and established in the writing, to break that internal structure. I haven't seen a VN do that well so far and I don't see any reason to do it here.I would, I hate POV shifts in these games.
Except occasionally Jeremy walks into the room and nonchalantly jerks off while staring at the map inquisitively as Lena and Ian do their research.
Your engrish is a lot better than some native English speakers on here.
Wait what? Its a Visual Novel, Novels in general can follow different Pov's
Not when it's done out of the blue halfway through the story. Absolutely no offense meant here, but I don't think you're very experienced in story structure. Or you only read a portion of my post. There is an internal logic created in the early chapters of any well-written story, whether a novel, a film or a VN. Sure, POVs can change even in a great novel, but that internal structure must be established near the start or otherwise must be justified and handled logically within the story. It takes a skilled writer to "break" their own story's rules correctly. Eva handled two MCs well in ORS by strongly establishing them both early on. Most VNs are written sloppily however, with inexperienced writers introducing POV changes lazily and sporadically 1/3+ of the way through their stories to conveniently handle exposition when the MC isn't present. It's like introducing a narrator halfway through a story who should have been established at the beginning. It just doesn't work.
They can, but it's never done well IMO. Hell, I don't even think ORS has done it too well, even though it's a more graceful example compared to others. At least in ORS it's an understood integrated system and not a collection of spontaneous events.
I'd perhaps not call it lazy writing myself, but I do think it's a crutch. When you have a tough time writing out the story from the perspectives that you have used so far, an easy fix is to shift the POV as to make use of motives that doesn't fit with the main character(s).
But POV shifts is not a new standard.
I don't think so. Lena can't develop romantic interest in him it seems, at least so far.
That I don't deny, plus Eva has re-written certain things as well that doesn't quite make sense.
Exactly lol. I just want to put Lena into situations where realistically she would never be in. Fun seeing Eva's creativity in having her justify doing depraved or disgusting things.
