Reality in this game is set by Zorlun, even if it means that Lucy fights like Black Widow and Aidan is a mini martial artist. That's fine, for the reasons you listed.In fact, I would be inclined to say that the need to embrace the unrealistic is one of the reasons why we enjoy fiction.
I'm more concerned about perceived game reality re the consequences of rape. If a game branch appears where the player can decide that Myriam will be raped, what happens after that? Will she continue her normal behaviour - even if that behaviour was the cause of her rape? Will she be traumatised afterwards, drastically changing her behaviour and relationships as a result? Will she discover that rape is another of her fetishes, putting herself into increasingly more dangerous situations to satisfy it? Writing a rape is straightforward, but dealing with the consequences won't be, so I hope Zorlun can come up with a solution that satisfies most players.
The easiest solution would be to have the rape path lead to another bad end, where Myriam is murdered by the rapist afterwards. Simple, but the rape fans would probably be outraged.
