New update continues standards of this game:
Good writing with a (somewhat original) story that parodies standard genre tropes,
an MC who is not an asshat,
well developed and fun characters that have some depth and real emotions,
a fair amount of humor,
excellent image quality with well made animations of characters that have a wide variety of appearances,
various types of sex and fetishes with various characters,
a sandbox style layout that gives you some amount of control over what order you pursue the scenes in
without making you hunt all over creation to find the content,
a self aware sense of humor without intrusive 4th wall breaks (that is a miracle of good writing in and of itself, see below),
and ONE, non-canon, easily avoidable NTR scene that no one who has turned off the NTR content should even be aware of, yet everyone who gets upset about it every update seems to somehow be intimately familiar with, as if they had chosen to watch it for some reason...
*Spoilers follow*
A couple of people mentioned that they felt the anal scene with Brenna was lame, or forced, or abrupt. I saw at least one person point out that the "porn logic" of anal sex "not counting" is silly.
Here's the thing, depending on what order you found the scenes, this may have happened before or after that, but MC and Catherine talk about this phenomena of "anal doesn't count," and they both agreed/implied that A) it's a laughable premise and B) it's something people tell themselves when they don't want to admit to others (or themselves) what they've done.
That's your set-up and foreshadowing for the scene with Brenna. She doesn't want to accept her feelings, she doesn't want to bear the guilt of crossing that line, so this is her stepping stone, her compromise. It's both the punchline of the joke and, while it makes no real sense logically, it is a thing that people do to avoid having "real sex." I didn't find it to be abrupt or out of place for Brenna's character progression, and the writing actually sets you up for it.
Now, I'd have to re-play the whole game to find this, but I think it was mentioned a long while back that Catherine has a fear of clowns. Again, we see foreshadowing to a punchline. Penny is described repeatedly as "a powered up version of Catherine." So, what is the punishment she gets from Catherine's archenemy Mallory? Being fucked by a clown!
You may not like this author's style of writing--
it is teasing, and slowly builds up tension, gradually escalating things to get as many scenes and variations from the characters' various paths as possible, it sometimes even favors humor over sex--
but I can't agree that any of it is "bad writing." The author knows very well what he is doing, and he is doing it very well, without compromising his own vision of what he wants to do, and without putting us off for six months to a year with no update only to release five more minutes of buggy or repetitive content. Maybe MC didn't make it to the step you'd like yet, but there was progress, there were new actions with various characters.
This is a fun game. It's entertaining, and the characters are a delight to watch.
Once the MC fucks all the girls, the game will be over. That's how it works. From our perspective, when the MC finally beds those girls, as far as we are concerned, he will have killed them. We won't see any new stories about them. The fun will all be over. So, why the rush? Enjoy the journey! Or, if this is not a journey that you are enjoying ... why are you on this bus?
