I don't know who you pissed, but I went to check the time that the last few guys who made a negative review joined, and it's so far apart that the alt account theory doesn't seem believable to me. Couldn't it have something to do with an update being released and having the game in the front page for a while that attracted more people to comment and rate?I pissed a guy off and the very next day there are 3 reviews repeating almost word for word what he said. So alt account Isn’t too out there.
but the criticism is just too out there man. It’s hard to take serious. Take out the customization and the girl still looks the same as the default. Like you literally wouldn’t notice the difference if you just never touch the customization. That’s why it’s such a confusing criticism. Again, they looked exactly the same before I added the customization.
Anyways, the point with customization in this regard (in my opinion) is that the classroom girls feel more like Barbies than characters, since they have no particular visual core feature about themselves and, because this game goes into action very fast and there's not much dialogue to have with most characters, more often than not it sorta feels like fucking a sex doll instead of a character.
Let me expand a bit more on this: Corruption as a genre has many ways of being executed, but generally speaking, you want to have an established female that isn't a slut, and through words or actions, turn her into a slut. The more defined this female is by her looks, dialogue and scenes, the more solid the corruption feels with them, because there're more elements that are transformed due to your influence. In turn, the less established the girl is because there's less conversation to be had, less scenes in which your influence manifests, no evolution to her looks (through moral and sexual degeneration, not just selecting her to be naked out of thin air), the less the corruption feels there. I imagine this is a relevant subject because the game leans heavily into the corruption kink with how the MC interacts with the women. So taking away what makes a certain character... a certain character, diminishes said corruption. This one is very to the point and fast paced in the sex encounters, and there are many characters through which the action is spread. So that already has a consequence on dialogues and scenes to be had.
Now, if you decide the benefits of customization outweight the downsides that I and other have mentioned, that is fine for me, too. I like the game as it currently is, despite the apparent flaws I've pointed. But I hope now you get my argument. At the end of a playthrough, which characters will be remembered? Racher, Sam and the Teacher, or any of the featurless students in the classroom that can be anything by not being anything, and are treated as a mob due to how little individuality there is to each of them?
