Holly basically said my book sucks. Are there choices to get a more favorable review, and dialogue from her?

Yes

There's a book guide on the front page of this thread, basically there are different optimal combinations. I always use a specific combination because it's easy to memorize and saves me the trouble of checking the guide.

I always go fantasy-revenge book and the subsequent choices are always the ones with a red background. Then the ending is either "victory" or "sacrifice".

[Zero1994]

There is some character list like a wiki or something, I no longer remember who is who when they discuss here.
The images help me remember who is who.

And thanks

I wouldn't be surprised if Mark happen to appear in tournament as a fighter. Just a hunch.

The curveball I'm thinking of is that Marcel is in the tournament. I'm not saying I'm expecting it, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Oh, and if Ian is dating Holly, Marcel tells him, "If I beat your ass, I want a date with your cute girlfriend..."

And even if Ian loses, Holly can still say no to the date. But if Holly's "be like Lena" stat is high enough, then Holly says yes.

And on the date...

I was basically inspired by Berserk to make the book and the love never fails

 

[Andrea9999]

If I think I fixed it, it's because Chrome betrayed me again, the damn thing is my nemesis.

If you mean google translate, then try this: after translating, reverse the translation to see if it makes sense.

That would at least be interesting scenario than the bartending one.

Regarding this, I think the "simulation" for the book quality used in the game is way too simplistic and arbitrary. It could be improved by adding a writing variable to Ian similar to Lena's blowjob skill. Everytime you choose Ian working in his book (or things like asking Holly for advice), it would be increased. And then Ian's attributes could be used in the writing of each part depending of what theme you choose. For example, in the book love interest part the charisma attribute could be used if you choose "romantic", the lust attribute if you choose "crude" and the wits attribute if you choose "metaphysical".

 

[LoneWaker59]

The truth is that I only used Robert to end Lena's drought but once I got far enough with Ian and Mike I abandoned her like a dog to her fate and in the worst way possible by the time Ian beats her up he's done. Robert I don't want to bother Lena more anymore

I always choose Robert at the beginning of the game just for the "Bad Jessika" variable to happen, later when you have the option to break up with him it's always funny to give it a chance but when he starts talking about Lena being his girlfriend in the middle of sex choose the "Dump Him" option.
This character is so boring that I compare him to Doug from Good Girl Gone Bad.

 

[Samsul Hidayat]

I'm more affronted by the lack of Ian hooking up or even hanging out with Ivy than being a prude.

Not to mention both Robert and Mark don't add anything to the story or game other than to be used as a dildo. Not my cup of tea.

Mark can help Lena with their music career if things work out, so he's better than Robert already.

I wouldn’t be surprised if tournament rules are reworked. If top 3 are classified that would mean at least 5 competitors to make any sense, probably more. And with only one fight per month, you would get the tournament going over 4+ months, that’s a lot of time and you would need to add finals.

If it's a single-elimination tournament, at least 8 fighters are needed. Top 4 for the semi, and Top 2 for the grand finale.

Of course. Casca enjoyed it, after all.

It's not, Wen says that it's a bracket where even if you lose a fight, you can make it to the top 3 winning the other ones. What's not very clear if how many competitors there are in the bracket and what happens after you make it to the top 3. Maybe it's a kind of play-off with loser bracket where you can lose once and if you win everything you end up in a fight against the loser of the winner's bracket for a place in the final.

 

[Ilcoriglianese forte]

But because many want the Ian-Lena couple, I personally see Ian well with two other women, Lena does what she does best, the slut, it doesn't take a genius to understand the two characters, one is the good one the other is the villain of the game

 

[rj677]

That depends on your tastes SerHawkes, if you see them that way, that's your problem. I would never see an individual, even if they were a character in a game, as an object. Furthermore, the lust bar appears in Lena's statistics, not in mine, as far as I know, or Maybe I have a hidden lust bar and I never realized it?

The problem with what you say here is that to LENA they are indeed seen as OBJECTS...

For example, Jeremy is just a Big Black Cock for her to fantasize about and take as deep as she can. Nothing else about Jeremy matters to Lena. Axel cheated on her, broke her and this woman is STILL hung up on his Cock and behind dominated by him . I could go on, but these 2 are the most obvious.

So to piggyback on your discussion with SerHawkes, its indeed stupid that LENA needs to fuck Robert or Mike to essentially MAKE JESSICA, a character that Lena doesnt even know, be "bad" and "broken" to some degree. Its like if you just changed over night IF and ONLY IF EvaKiss herself got some dick before you met a new colleague at work .

Its even more stupid when you think that Jessica is IANs potential LI... That being IF some hoe fucks 1 of 2 specific dudes . So as you can see its not about Lenas "Lust" its about YOURS, the player

Thats why at this point, Im not even surprised with the amount of nonsense that has happened lately in the story

 

[Leongen43]

But the essence of the game is that both experiments to overcome their past and if they manage to have a new, better partner, although for now I prevent them from having partners so that I can see more sex scenes and see the potential of the other characters in the game. I don't like the fact that some characters are treated like a piece of meat but I suppose that when lust dominates them they no longer see others as people but as objects for their personal satisfaction.

Damn, that's gonna be a long one. Most combat tournaments I watch are single-elimination only since fighting one match can take a toll on you. I had a feeling EK mixed it up with fighting game tournaments because the bracket system is very common there, and can be done in 2 days usually. Combat sports? Not so much. Depending on how severe the match is, fighters may even take at least 3 months to recover.

I know old school boxers fight very frequently, but it's not that era anymore. The only tournament I know where fighters fight multiple times in a short period is K1 Grand Prix, and it only has 16 fighters.

 

[JoJoPool]

How is she going to cover the tournament in a prologue ? It's either a loooong prologue or a rushed, half-assed tournament

 

[ffive]

Mark can help Lena with their music career if things work out, so he's better than Robert already.

That's Mike. Mark's only potential role so far is to be a training dummy for Holly, and a generic hookup for Lena. I guess one could say he's "unoffensive" in the sense he doesn't come with a blatant red flag like most of the other guys in the game. For what it's worth. In the land of the blind, etc.

 

[ffive]

So to piggyback on your discussion with SerHawkes, its indeed stupid that LENA needs to fuck Robert or Mike to essentially MAKE JESSICA, a character that Lena doesnt even know, be "bad" and "broken" to some degree.

I'd say this is rather clever, actually -- the game essentially infers what sort of women the player is interested in from their early choices regarding Lena. The player turns Lena into cock-chasing hedonist? Then the game serves you another character like this. The player makes Lena a "nice girl"? Have another one, then.

Wen says that there is a fight once a month, I guess that if you get injured and don't recover in time you get disqualified. I don't have much idea about how is done IRL, but I'm guessing that what you said applies to pro fights. Is there also the same time between fights on an amateur level?.
