The man in the mask was on neutral terms with the MC, might even be helping him in the long run but we don't know the full story yet, Brad is smart, and helps both MC and Krystal with her hacking issue, if you find him obnoxious then that's a you problem, he's not written in the story to be obnoxious, none of the characters have any issues with him. MC's father is also said to be a nice man, so thats 3 men right there that completely invalidate your first point.
The personality of both the man in the mask and the father remains to be explored, though the father does seem to be a nice guy. Wouldn't be surprised if it turns out at least one of them (or both) is actually the MC due to time travel shenanigans (or the father and the man in the mask is the same person).
As for Brad, he openly braggs about what a ladies man he is and how he's going to start a harem to the point that his teacher has to ask him to shut up. Now I know that at sites like this, harem is seem a moral good, as long as it is a man with several women (if it's the reverse, it's the most evil thing ever and must be killed with fire
). But ask any woman how they would feel about being in a mans harem and the reply might give you an idea of how acceptable that idea is outside of porn games for men. On top of that, Brad's a clear beta to the MCs alpha. But yeah, sure, he's not the worst male character in the game and had it just been him and maybe one bully/wifebeater, I would have had no issue.
Riley was literally shown in this episode that even during her childhood, she was never a "good girl deep down." Did you not hear the part about what she did to that little girl in the washroom? You also have the option to deny her instead so...
You mean the "little girl" (as old as Riley) who participated in bullying Riley and then poured a glass of water in her lap and spread the rumor that Riley peed herself? And then only accepted having Riley around as long as Riley acted as her slave and did her homework and other stuff?
Revenge against someone bullying you maybe isn't the morally most pure thing you can do (then again, some people will claim that that is exactly what it is), but it is hardly a bad guy move in the same way as beating up/threatening to beat up your girlfriend because she found out you were cheating on her (happens to two women in this game...) or bullying people just for the fun of it.
Also, she says something in the lines of not being proud of having done what she did and as I pointed out, she is equiped with a clear sob story as an explanation for why she does the bad thing she does. Just like with Shelby.
I don't think we're playing the same game tbh, this game was never about "competing with other men on who can get the most bitches", its a story about time travel and a character trying to save his family/people he loves.
Never claimed the game was about "competing with other men on who can get the most bitches". But the game has a few instances of such competition and I'm critiquing the implementation of it (together with general stereotypisation).
I'm pretty sure you're given the option for every single LI to deny them anyways, including the crazy/redeemable ones.
Exactly, and therefore we shouldn't need every potential LI to be good, redeemed and/or have a sob story to explain why they've acted like dicks.
There's only one character here who you can "steal" from her husband, and we've barely even got content in that part. There wasn't even an actual netori scene, they faked it.
Are you refering to Janelle? While the MC doesn't fuck her while her cuck husband is outside and yelling, she does fuck with the MC at a later date. Further more, I also count boyfriends and Shelby clearly fits this bill, as does Alice (who the MC saves from her cheating boyfriend as he's about to get violent with her). Then there's Scarlett who just found her boyfriend cheating on her on the day the MC meet her for the first time and who uses the MC as a kissing and groping prop to break up with her boyfriend (the MC also encourages her to leave her boyfriend at that exchange). And then there's Luna, who's husband is in jail and when you meet her in the past, she's just been mistreated by her then boyfriend. Let's also not forgett that when the MC meets his mother in the past, he has to save her from her ex boyfriend who's cheated on her and is about to beat her up for leaving him. Finally there's Cindy who cheats on her husband with the MC as revenge for her husband cheating on her.
In every instance, the boyfriend/husband is either a confirmed asshole/scumbag or at least a cheater, often a wife/girlfriend beater. There are no nice boyfriends/husbands. Every woman is either single or has an asshole as husband/boyfriend.
And again, Riley is a crazy psycho through and through, and if we ever see her again if she wasn't a one off character, Cindy or whatever that lady's name was in the powerplant was also a manipulative, taking advantage of her employees for sexual needs.
It sounds like you just want an evil character you can hatefuck. I apologize if I'm assuming incorrectly.
I don't agree regarding Riley, Cindy however seems to be a bitch, but we haven't gotten to see particularly much of her and she does blame her abusive husband for cheating on her with multiple women (hardly an excuse to exploit her employees, but at least an excuse for her own cheating). So who knows, that might change if we get more scenes with her and it is revealed that she also is a victim and bla bla bla.
And why would you have to hatefuck a woman just because she's an asshole?
You don't have to marry her just because you fuck her, you know...
Ah yes every male character is an evil stupid asshole. Ignore Brad helping us with technology we can't hope to crack I mean he's trying to build a harem he must be evil!!!1
He's not the enemy of the MC, but that doesn't make him a good guy. And yeah, trying to build a harem actually means you're a slimeball. That he's overweight, a chronic porn consumer and socially inept also contributes to him being a non threat.
Do people think Riley had a sob story? A huge portion of neuro divergent people would have bullied in the 80s/early 90s when she was in school especially a hot girl (girls would bully out of jealousy boys because they like her lmao) and she pretty immediately fucked that girls school life and committed an actual crime (even if minor battery) by forcibly cutting her hair assuming she didn't draw blood lmao, and was punished by having to switch schools.
Yeah, her mother died when she was very young, her father abandonded her when she was ten to become a junkie. Then her grandma, who took care of her after the father went away, dies when she's in her teens. On top of that she's bullied constantly at school and has trouble fitting in even as an adult (getting fired multiple times). So yeah, that's pretty much as sobby a story as they get.
It's not constructive to suggest changing the entire premise and conceit of a story.
Nice scifi adventure you have here, be so much better if it was a dramatic thriller though!
Do you see how that's not constructive?
I have never suggested changing the entire premise and story.
*sigh* Since nearly everything you have written about this game is factually incorrect, if you have actually played this game, you obviously haven't been paying attention.
If you insist on trying your hand at constructive criticism, you first need to get your facts straight, otherwise it's not constructive in the slightest; it's just you trying to change the game to suit your own objectives.
Your free to explain what is factually incorrect.
you don't want competittion, you want to see other guys fuck... watch porn or search NTR tags and stay out of a decent game
I don't want the thing I say I want, I want something completely different you just made up just so you can claim I want the thing you hate the most...?
Just to be clear, I'm no fan of NTR, eventhough I don't have the same hateboner for it as you obviously do.
your cnstructive criticism is wanting the dev to change the whole nature of the game, when its current shape is what makes people sub to the dev and give him money despite the long interval between updates.whenn people want creme brule, you don't give them baked poop.
Once more, I've never said anything of the sort.
