When that last screen came up, for some reason I kept thinking of Baldrick .great update as usual, but bruh, leaving us hanging again with a cliffhanger

I have a suspicion that you're actually telepathic, since you're almost always able to figure out why I did something in the plot.Good episode once again!

I think you have plenty to be proud of here. It's been great to see Michael struggle so much with killing. Most wouldn't think twice about making the protagonist kill effortlessly and have him shrug it off.That Lune scene is probably the most important and I'm glad it came across well. Walking Michael down the road of dealing with killing people (and all the various stages of coping and rationalization) is pretty hard, and I'm not sure I'm the best at it.
I'd also think that MC needs to learn the subtle difference between murder and justifiable killing. Taking a life affects each person differently, no matter the reason, but usually when it's justifiable, people will typically come to terms with it quicker and not be as haunted by it.I think you have plenty to be proud of here.

I think Lune is right that it does require some rationalization - however flimsy - to be able to deal with murder and stay sane. Legacy & Eve made a similar point as well. Michael needs to get to a point where he accepts (if not believes) that sometimes, despite your best intentions, the ends do justify the means.
Great work once again
I would argue that the distinction between murder and "justifiable killing" is itself a rationalization of the act. It exists purely to make it more digestible.I wouldn't classify any of the deaths by MC as murder.
And you'd be right. Just as "murder" is also a rationalization of the act of taking a life. Before laws, it was just that. Humans created the the concept of what is murder or justified. And that's why I said that the MC needs to learn or have someone teach him the difference in what his society has taught them or learn to adapt and create his own concept of taking a life. It's usually what humans do best, adapting to a situation to help suit them best so they can keep moving forward.I would argue that the distinction between murder and "justifiable killing" is itself a rationalization of the act.

Right. He already has that knowledge to some extent (ie. the duel), but it's definitely different in this scenario. IMO, killing one guy who's about to kill you is different than baiting and killing 10+ guys who want to kill you. Even if it's justifiable, it's still a lot. He'll learn to deal with it better over time, but it's still been a few days since the raid. Proper healing can take years, which is out of the scope of the main plot.And you'd be right.

So, if MC is able to eventually overcome this moral issue and learn to accept that all the killing he has done has been justifiable, it may help him mentally in the future, and help get over the self loathing that comes with it.

Oh, I know. I wasn't digging at your MC lol. Was just having a nice, little discussion about my view when the other poster just said "murder," where I saw it in a different light as justified killing instead of murder. I'm totally down with your MC having this moral quandry arc. Like I said, it adds character growth, which is sorely lacking in the AVN world.Right.

It's only magic PP growth to the ignorant masses. Those in the know understand it's technology-based PP growth. Now go forth and be all that you can be! We believe in you!Now I just need magic PP growth, balloon bobs, and incest loli milf college harem and I'll be the biggest AVN game dev ever.
You're joking about the harem, but I'm down for actual polygamy lmao. And ugh, don't get me started with balloon bobs. I never understood the fascination with super massive breasts like that. I understand people liking large breasts, but there is such a thing as too large lolNow I just need magic PP growth, balloon bobs, and incest loli milf college harem and I'll be the biggest AVN game dev ever.
yeah for real I came across a game with super large breast but story seems like might be okay enough for me to be interested to try. I dont even play these for the lewds but they are so big im not sure if I want to give it a try im undecided.You're joking about the harem, but I'm down for actual polygamy lmao.
