But here it's worse, there's almost nothing at all behind.

Remember when Sharon bring MC to a club for the first time ? Be charming and be stealth, you'll need it if you want to nourish yourself. God, I wonder how the promise behind this feel to people who starts the game now, playing the five episodes and never ever having to care about nourishment except this single time that was totally scripted.
Like I wonder how many feel misled, if not betrayed, by this, because being able to nourish yourself is more important at first than being able to fight. Therefore, they focused on their stealth, expecting a "okay, now I should be able to nourish on my own, time to train something else", scene that never came.

These kinds of things I just dont care about. They established it as a need and a change for the MC, dont need to show it again really if its just a part of things now. Like I know the characters all take a shit a few times a day, that doesnt mean you need to show it.

It's not a question of caring. Of course that no one care about the MC taking his spit of blood. This even if each time he do, he trigger sleeping beauty. The issue is that it presented the character abilities in a way that will never be used.

Sharon could have said that MC need to train his charm because, with time, peoples will wonder why he only live during the night, and therefore he will have to "charm" his way out of this. She could have said that MC need to be stealth, in order to stay as unnoticed as possible, for people to not notice that he's never ill, and that he don't age.
She could have present this in whatever way, I would have said the same, those abilities are totally meaningless and without them the game would still be the same at 99%.

So far, there's only two real difference between players. Some have eaten Marcius, some haven't, and some still have Laurie, while other don't.
Yet, the second isn't really a difference. There's a marvelous ,"All I'm saying is. Unless it comes from me, you, Laurie or Andrew. Suspect everyone." in the previous update, that everyone will see, even those for who Laurie died ; it's not the first time, nor will it be the last, that she's named after her death.

Of course, there's also those who killed Astrid, and so still have Gregor on Carmen hands, but don't worry, you'll not see him often. Just expect to hear Carmen worry about him time to time, even if he's still somewhere in the house.

Oh, of course, your training levels have their importance. They give you some powers... Or, more precisely, some abilities that aren't totally useless, because they open some doors, but still totally meaningless, because if the door really need to be opened, then a key will magically appear.

Take the fight against Marcius by example, because it's really significant. There's three possible issues:
1) You trained enough your fighting, and then in the chapter 3 you gained a power that will let you win. But you don't activate it, because it don't show up in the power screen selection right before the fight. You have it, and you'll use it, but you can't choose it.
2) You don't have this power, but don't worry, there's a special power that everyone have without knowing it ; and that surely everyone used, unless they had the "bugged" version of the release, simply because the choice appeared and, well, who would refuse to use a power when having to fight Marcius ?
3) You are far too confident and you'll die.

They haven't thought this beforehand, and I bet that they haven't even thought it when facing it ; hence the quotation marks above, if you see what I mean.
You don't face different way to solve the issue depending on the training you choose. No, either you trained that way, or you use the cheat code they give to everyone for free. And I bet you that, when the time will come, the same will happen for those who haven't trained enough their stealth, and therefore haven't eat Marcius.

I still expect (or is it "hope"...) that all this will have it's importance in the end. But I'm not naive, it will just change the ending scripted scene. You'll be told that you became fine diplomat, or a rough ruler, nothing more. In between, don't worry, and don't care about what you choose to train, you'll be free of any bad issue and progress at the same pace than anyone else. Either thanks to your choices, or thanks to the cheat code they'll give you.

I agree and it takes a lot of the fun out of the game

I just played from ep. 1, and wtf is even going on anymore? It's like the story started with so much potential but somewhere along the line this guy lost the plot. especially in ep. 5, wtf man?

I was just going to say the same thing. At first, I thought that this slow pace was because of the small and often upgrades, but the author clearly struggles to move the story forward at this point.

The fact that in this game most of the characters are not very likeable doesn't help either. I dunno what happened, Sharon and the MC were pretty great in the beginning, but after Sharon was made Archon it was only downhill from there. Maybe the dev changed the writer, and the new guy/gal has a different vision of how these people should behave?

The character that I genuinely like and that I am rooting for is Carmen. Hopefully, we'll see more of her in the future.

Still the same writer (PTOLEMLY)...still the same team...nothing has changed, as evidenced in the direction Rebirth is heading.

Lol it's crazy how similar we are. I also haven't played much rebirth since Sharon became archon. i just can't stand her character anymore and Carmen has always been the best female character in the game since her introduction. Sadly this game is about Sharon and the MC and once you realize that the game kinda loses its appeal.

For me not anymore, I think that has changed at least since Sharon becoming an archon, maybe even before. There is no typical "Li" in this game. The MC has no "feelings" towards any of the girls, he might be (sexually) attracted to some of them. It took me a while to accept that, but after that it's easier to understand some behaviours, especially the MC's, too.

If you'r looking for a fap game then do yourself a favour and search for other games. You will be disappointed here.
