Pity that all male romance options seem to be douchebags so far (Victor doesn't count as there is no romance with him atm). Will there be something between Cat and Jacques in the future?
Although I'm only interested in female romances, (or sub males for my dominant Catherine playthrough) I would say Labashi isn't an asshole either, at least as far as chapter 3 goes. I'm just going to try 4 now!
Do people actually immerse themselves to the point of thinking they are the actual mc in games? To me, all characters in a game are just puppets under my control, nothing more
To be fair I think both of those stances can be unhealthy if taken to the extreme. I for example self-insert to the degree that I always avoid sexual content that repulses me in any game (in my case anything maledom and a few extreme fetishes) and I try to think from the mindset of MC so that all experiences become more visceral/pleasurable/intense etc. In triple A RPGs and visual novels with character creation I often create MCs whose life-story and background I think a lot about and often end up with personalities very different from my own and sometimes even with opposite morals and political phylosophies as long as I find their inner conflicts and life experiences interesting enough to roleplay being them, (I'm an anthropology major by the way - it probably shows
) but my point here is that while it's unimaginative to just self-insert, you might be missing on a lot of fun if you just treat even your MC as a walking tool under your control rather than as a sapient being with his/her own morals, experiences, tragedies and personality quirks which you become for the brief time that you engage with the game!
