VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.3] [Eva Kiss]

[SearingFive]

Setting Perry up with any of those two girls calms him down. Also, he comes late to the bar on Cherry's path. He was probably having video call sex with Cherry like she did with Ian.

I let perry have Cherry, Considering Cherry will never have any FFM with the main protagonists, but Emma, well we already have that coming! Also if perry starts dating cherry, that's another slap in the face of that assbag axel!
We already got louis in the bag, Though i predict we will have more FFM with her in the future coz she is soo possessive that she wont let lena live in peace until she gives her Ian's dick again.
Emma is 100% in the bag, Ivy will be soon considering we have an option for that already.
I'm still waiting for the confirmation on Eli, she is already wet for Lena from the time when Lena hits on her in the club, we already had a dialogue at that time where Lena says she's hoping she would participate in an FFM with Ian, will have to wait a bit when Eli visits Lena's singing show or something
Any other potential ladies you can think of or i may be missing for FFM with our main couple?

I keep wondering, following how the storyline has been progressing. The next update will mostly be focused on creating an Ivy's path? Based on Lena's choices, she either participates or not along with Ivy in whatever Billy has planned and falls even further into depravity, assuming that what he has planned is (porn under the pretense of modeling) or Lena is their as Ivy's moral compass in preventing her from falling even further into depravity.The thing is I'm unsure what would become of Ivy's storyline if she doesn't go down the deprived path under the minset thats its okay falling further if in the end she gains fame and money. I mean will Ivy even have an alternative good path, unless Ivy somehow gains success by expanding the classes that she already provides and turn those classes into an even bigger business(something that revolves around creating activities to achieve fitness, similar to what her pole dancing classes does).Also am I the only one that feels like Ivy is okay with falling into depravity as long as she can take someone else with her? It's mostly seen in some of the advices, she gives to holly or by always encouraging Lena to indulge in her vices. But I also think that's what Ivy's character embodies. It's no wonder the modeling agency rejected her. Ivy presents the image of being a temptress, while the modeling agency brands themselves on representing elegance and professionalism. I also think Eva has set the field to determine if Jeremy actually gets to sleep with her based on the choices made by both Lena and Ian gained by having a decent relationship with her. Ivy attitude changes towards Jeremy if Lena encourages Ivy to give him a chance and if Ian also speaks well of him when asked by Ivy.

OK when Ian wins, but he can lose the fight and it doesn't change anything iir

It’s just two rounds, not every fighter who loses is going to look like Rocky and Apollo did at the end of their 15 rounds.

You listed all the potential partners for FFM.

All this talk of Axel has me thinking about how unfair it is that the female protagonist gets to fuck an ex 9 chapters in while for Ian it's been nearly 14 chapters and still nothing.
I want a male-centered ex relapse too, god dammit!

 

[Hungover00]

So far the only two fights that have been resolved off screen have been the one involving mike and jeremy. As ian we will play the remaining fights in the tournament. As for injuries after the first fight of the tournament, I can't tell you, the most logical thing is that ian would end up with some bruises or cuts but that would mean more work for eva. Which is weird because if you go back to chapter 7 and beat robert in a fight you'll leave him with a busted lip.

I couldn't tell you I haven't lost the first fight of the tournament and the only time I lost it eva hadn't finished the whole fight yet.

Robert is barely on screen though, so the amount of work is less arduous.

 

[Ero - Sennin]

Still no Ivy sex

Ok so my first upset in the game(more like story) is when Ian is not promoted because he selected books(the ones with lots of actual potential) to publish that didn't align with the publisher's interest. I mean I literally select the ones that have potential and still get the short end of the stick and this comes way later on in the story that I can't have the patience change the decision so far back. How are we supposed to know this? Choice based game always have this issue. We have to somehow read the minds of developer and align with what they like to progress in a positive side of the story. No hints, no reason whatsoever or maybe there is a hint but its so obscure that you may as well not have it at all. Even GGGB had this issue when we are competing with the landwhale but atleast the decision is not so far back that we cant change it.

You still get the promotion if you suggest the two quality books as well as the other that will sell well. A publisher wants you to identify the ones that have potential to sell well. That's books 2 & 4. Books 3 & 4 are also well-written and could bring prestige to the publishing house. If recommending book 3 tanked the promotion, even when you recommended the other two that would sell well, I'd agree with you. But at that point you're being a bit of a snob.

How you know this is by paying attention to the world in the game.

can't believe Cindy is a slut.

Its still such an annoying mechanic though. But oh well...

 

[Ray_D]

can't believe Cindy is a slut.

Cindy is a gorgeous blonde with insecurities and axel is the CEO of gaslighting, it was obvious what would happen.

 

[kalle813]

i wish we get one or two anal scenes with alison

 

[Hungover00]

That is one of the strengths of this game, different women have different preferences. Emma is an anal queen. Cindy doesn't like the taste/idea of cum in her mouth. Alison has a breeding kink, and leans into the tit jobs. Louise is desperate for affection and is a natural sub. Minerva is down to be dominated and humiliated, but there's also another thing (haven't found it, but heard of it). Holly is super-sensitive.

I think Lena and Cherry are the natural all-rounders, nothing is off the table, they enjoy the entire gamut. With Ivy we only see her play with women, but she projects she's the baddest slut around. The truth may differ.

At several times its pointed out that Ians superiors are money oriented. Ian flat out says that the third book may be too niche to publish.
More importantly: He can still get the promotion if he picks the three books if his wit is high enough.

->

The outcome is a bit more complicated than we initially presumed:

* approving book 2 or 4 earns Ian a point each
* approving book 1 or 3 decks Ian a point each
* you get 1 "free" point, or 2 "free" points if Ian's Wits are at least 8, or 3 points if his Wits are 9+

You need 3+ points total to get promoted.

Axel really knows something about training girls huh. But yeah, I honestly think that Ivy is just a big fucking tease to the boys and only muffs can satisfy her. Hell, she might even never went beyond 3rd base with Mike.

 

[notstaged]

I mean will Ivy even have an alternative good path

Yes, one of these days mister "balm for the soul" will finally take her for the ride to Pound Town and through this Ivy will see the light of righteousness and goodness.

Also am I the only one that feels like Ivy is okay with falling into depravity as long as she can take someone else with her?

She doesn't see it that way. See, some years ago her classmates conspired to make her wear a diaper and a floor rag as a wig for some pictures in a suggestive way or whatever and now she's convinced nothing authentic is permitted to exist. That's her uncle Ben dying on the pavement story.

I agree, it also felt very random to me at that point. This is notable because the rest of the game works very well, but the choices in the books are not very intuitive.

 

[SearingFive]

Books 2,3,4 were fine, with 3 being pretty challenging for a normal audience to grasp its meaning, which in turn was a hard sell for the publisher. Just have high wits, and you'll bag the promotion even if you selected those three books.
