So just played through this an well I have to say that the story is fairly engaging mostly all fun and jokes at first but then get's more and more serious and philosophical. There are some parts that I am guessing are mistakes in the writing like for instance in the hot spring part (can't remember the exact chapter) Leah will mention she has no mother even though her mother is like the biggest part of her story.
Saying "I have no mother/father/sister/etc" is a common English idiom that means you've essentially disowned them.
Everybody in that conversation understood she didn't mean it literally.
how in chapter 38 it starts with a big screen of "8 MONTHS LATER" only to if you check out Vic's side story 3 that you can check out a few mins later she will mention she's surprised it's "only been a month" since Chad got back. Which makes the 8 months later kinda ridiculous since since it had already been like 3 weeks since the "time skip" so instead it seems like the time skip was only a week but it was written as being 8 months.
All of the Ch38 side stories take place during the time skip. That's why Jamie's hair is halfway in length between her old hair and her new hair (and she takes CJ's recommendation to grow it out more), and why every side story says it's been X amount of time since Ch37.
In the story I don't think it's ever really explained exactly whar Cro did to him when he asked for immortality.
It has not been explained how she did that yet, as Cro has been on speaking terms with CJ again for all of one chapter now. Nobody during Ch22 was preocupied with the
how, as they were busy trying to either save Jamie or not get turned into a monster.
I honestly don't know but again to build an empire from scratch and then to develop a new field of reasearch? I would say at least 10-20 years minimum to even get started.
Cro did what she did to Hayato when Jamie's father was a baby. The next time we see him, Jamie's father is in his mid-twenties. And per his own words, he didn't have to do much himself. He just benefited financially from it and then reinvested.
Then on top of that the grandpa decides to dable into the supernatural and supossedly just gathers random information from whoever is willing to then start to teach himself about it all then for whatever reason is a savant in the area and develops magic that let's him spy on the universe and thousands of other worlds and their history and this is without him being able to go to the other side to dilute time or at least it's implied it's that way since he cannot reach or even tries until later when he starts finding out doom approaching their world.
The fact that he could see Cro at all would indicate he had a natural predisposition to spiritual power, this coupled with having quite a bit of free-time and almost unlimited funding led to him making a large amount of progress over the next 25+ years.
This again would take an immense amount of time since it's explained that how it was done was by bringing men close to the portal and then have his 4-5 maids have sex with them which would lead to their deaths. Which again makes me question this since the amount of time it would take is again pretty long. I mean I have no idea how many people per day he could sacrifice but if we say it's about maybe 20 per day if there were 20 000 people sacrificed it would take something like 27-28 years if it was done very single day.
Did you miss the part where the people on the other end of that portal were 99.99% of that? The city that Ch22 takes place in is nearly depopulated, and the half-souls they became would throw themselves into the massive rift in the crater.
That was his plan.
On top of that how would he even hide it? Like it was mentioned a lot of the people sacrificed were rich and powerful but also people in debt so having him throw orgies every single day from which no one returns from and no one questions this?
Because he wasn't murdering tens of thousands of people in the mansion.
I shudder to imagine how bad the policing is in the fictional Japan. But anyway with all this combined the discovery of his immortality + gene-modding + building his empire + searching for supernatural information + developing it + using it to discover what is happening + developing and enacting his plan to prevent the doom. All of it is implied by Mizue to have taken roughly 25 years since she was given all of his knowledge in the anticipation that she would become his reincarnation.
He didn't exactly accomplish much spiritually when alive besides learning the basics of the four goddesses and accidentally opening the portal and having to keep it from growing. The majority of his spiritual work has been done while dead, including overseeing what happened on the other end of his portal.
Now thats honestly a tight time frame for all he accomplished and this is without me going into the simple fact that a lot of it like how no one just stole his research or how he for seemingly no reason at all grew as powerful as he is later on and all of that sounds a bit out there.
Remember the talk Jamie and Shayla have in Ch39 where they debate the origins of CJ's gene mods.
At the same time he makes it abundantly clear that he doesn't actually care to save the world since he litterly prepares sex slaves for himself in the future and that he himself will use all the powers he has gathered by killing billions to ascend to godhood and that by him becoming a god would somehow save the universe.
Hayato tells Jamie in Ch20 that the maids were not for him.
Seeing as how much I've already written I'd just like to add that with how the story is structured and plays out I am honestly surprised that this is only tagged as male protagonist since while the game is centered around Chad the MC most of the game so far plays out from the perspective of the girls and each arc so far has revolved around one of the girls and her background story though the latest one is implied to be about the MC and one of the girls. But with that said I believe most of the game so far revolves around us being a third party observer that mostly jumps between all the party members while the free roaming parts has mostly had us play as one of the girls. So there should probably be a female protag tag on here as well just for good measure.
We've had people say this for years, but the problem is that on F95 the Female Protagonist tag means something very specific (generally that the
porn is female led) and that when OoT did have that tag, it just pissed people off. The mods decided to just get rid of the tag, and I supported that decision.
