My biggest problems with these games is there is soo much filler, I literally skip all the text involving the teens since they are just plastic models that act like bitches with nothing important to say and have no direct impact on the main story. The fantasy of this game is getting with Nicole on either a submissive or dominant path, way too much time is wasted on everything else BUT Nicole and we have to wait MONTHS before we see another dialogue skip update and before we get to some meat. The convict side story is just stupid, the whole Ashley + Brad + Uncle idea was just so bad it needs to be removed from the game. This is another game with lots of potential that keeps missing the mark, it's like the dev is trying to create fake tension and depth in a game that is already primary in its concept.
MC comes back after a long time > Nicole tries her hardest to win him over so he can forgive her > Time spent apart means she sees him as a man and not a small boy (or her own for that). This is essentially cucking Derek, either go full NTR or forget this pseudo side trip and half arsing this concept. Nicole is ready to give herself emotionally and sexually to MC but now Derek needs to play a part in this NOT Ashley + Brad + Uncle. This back and forth is ruining the whole flow of the game.
Ashley is a generic blonde bitch that even if we do dominate her, it loses all the sex appeal already and I would feel its a waste of resources to plunge in her animations which are already sub-par IMO. There is no sexual tension and its just revenge sex, there is already sexual tension with Nicole, work on that and forget about everything else.
The only reason I don't see why the dev would not focus on Nicole is he's playing the "Patreon game" like most of the devs here, the classic fish on the hook and then wait 400 Naruto fillers before we finish the "War arc" and have an anti-climactic ending.
Needless to say...I am disappointed with this update.
[EDIT]: I wasn't going to be vocal about this, but after this update, I felt like it needed to be said. This was a Ctrl skip update for me.
