In what universe is Alexia not a main character? The lowest possible position Alexia could be called is the deuteragonist. Alexia is more important than every other character not named Rowan and has the heaviest amount of content after him. You remove her from the game and a huge, gaping hole would open up that cannot be filled.
Come again? (look at attachments) (For the uninitiated chuds Mr. LA here is the creator of this here game SOC) Also nowhere did I state that I would advocate for any of Alexia's content to be removed from the game.
Allow me to repeat myself, because you appear to have gone off without reading to the end:
If someone gets insulted and incensed hearing simple truth, well, that's their problem. Of course, it is perfectly fine to argue that provided statement wasn't true, which is precisely why i offered the person i was replying to a chance to do so.
Feel free to quote exactly which parts of their post you believe disprove the notion that male MC part of the game is basically "a harem route". Because what i saw was:
then it devolves into rant about Alexia's route. And well, "harem can be interesting and devs put lot of thought into it" is hardly an argument how the male MC part isn't one.
First there is no "simple truth" because your OPINION of the game isn't objective so you might want to take your head out of your ass. IMO Monks' point seemingly boils down to stating that the writers of SOC have made the plot interesting enough to the point that the game isn't a "basic harem MC' as you and the other person stated. But sure what they stated wasn't really elaborated on so you can have that point. I do like how that's the only part of my response you decided to pick out, is there a reason you didn't respond to the rest of my comment? Or is it because you have nothing to argue against there?
Alexia has almost as much content as Rowan, if not the same amount. She's pretty much a co-protagonist. I echo the original sentiment, which is that Alexia and her fantastic descent into depravity is what makes this game what it is. The Rowan content is fine, but I come for Alexia (pun very much intended).
Why are you asking someone to disprove it's a harem route when "same as a typical male MC harem game without the Alexia's depravity route. Harem can be done in interesting ways " was in the comment you responded to? I think you've got your wires crossed there. At no point do they say it's not a harem game or route.
Refer to my above post where I provide images in which the creator of the game clearly stated Alexia is not a protagonist. If that's why you enjoy the game that's fine, the issue is when people like you pretend that Alexia is somehow the only reason that people enjoy the game. If you aren't a fan of Rowan you don't have to be, but Alexia isn't the only thing bringing people to this game and sorry to say but Rowan is the main character not Alexia and that won't be changing anytime soon. IMO the game would be insanely boring if Alexia was the main character as I am someone who actually enjoys the plot and Alexia's optional depravity plot really provides nothing for me
Are you suggesting they were objecting only to the "boring" part of the "it's a boring harem", but not questioning that Rowan's part of the game is a harem overall? If that's the case then yes, you're right this would be a case of misreading. I didn't think of such interpretation because what's boring and what's not is entirely subjective, so it'd be a fool's errand to get so upset over that and object to it specifically. For some people a harem (or any other) approach is always going to be boring due to its very nature, no matter how much work the devs put into it.
Is the player allowed to have multiple sexual relationship with none of their partners objecting to not being exclusive? Then it's a typical harem game. A bit of being on receiving end isn't changing anything here, especially in a gay relationship.
Literally no one was ever arguing the point that Rowan's has a harem aspect to him if you choose to go down that route, what you seemingly don't realize is that Alexia's is EXACTLY the same if you choose to fuck everyone you can on her end.
Opinions are subjective, facts are not. And not every statement made about a game is an opinion. But i suspect Aleyo got it right and while i thought the person i was replying to was objecting to classification of Rowan's part of the game as "harem route" (which is something i consider as a fact that can be argued for or against) they were objecting to the "boring" charge. Which yes, i'll agree with you is entirely subjective.
Am sorry, but i rolled my eyes too hard when i saw the "cuck content" and other increasingly unhinged NTR cliches. I didn't see any benefit in replying to any of that drivel.
LOL it's literally the second to last sentence there so you still decided to ignore everything before it. If you have nothing to say cause my argument is correct you and you can't refute it just say so, no need to pussy foot around
You are not wrong. Personally, i don't think Alexia's route is anything special when considered alone. Just like Rowan's part is also a stock fare. It's potential interaction between these two and the fact the player is given control over both, that makes the game what it is, and something that makes it stand out.
The criteria are simple, but it doesn't make them shit. Just like "male protagonist" is also determined in simple manner, but the simplicity doesn't invalidate resulting classification.
Are you not the same person lambasting against Rowan's boring, basic typical harem route? (Which you just admitted Alexia is the same which was the argument I had stated above in the dreadful paragraph you couldn't bring yourself to respond to) But now both Alexia and Rowan's routes work well in conjunction with one another. This whole argument was brought about because someone stated that everyone is only here to watch Lexi fall to depravity and you seemingly agreed with said person but now Lexi and Rowan's routes meld well together and that's what makes the game stand out?
Sigh; i didn't have anything else to say in response to parts i didn't think worthy of any reply (be it due to quality or irrelevance) That's generally why people skip stuff rather than reply to every single sentence. But now you've made me reply to it anyway and over three posts no less, so gg.
I genuinely cannot parse what point you think you're making here.
The difference being that your calling it a typical or basic harem game so by that logic you're criteria aren't enough to say whether or not that's really the case. Male protagonist is cut and dry but if I add basic male protagonist (hypothetically this criteria will be for a porn game) then wouldn't that require more criteria because now you're differentiating between what kind of male protag it is by adding that adjective. If you said just a harem game then it works but adding typical before it would require more then what you have I would think
If your of the opinion that Lexi's plot is nothing special until its put together with Rowan's plot then would you not be arguing against the original point you were seemingly arguing for. The original poster stated that people are only here to see Alexia fall to depravity. And it looked to me as if you were agreeing with that person (I could be wrong of course) If as you say that you need both Alexia and Rowan's parts together for the game to stand out, then what the original poster said can't be true because they would have to be there for both plots to fully enjoy Alexia's fall to depravity
We have a case of chinese whispers game here -- the original quote was "typical male MC harem game". This was malformed into "typical harem game" at some point and i've repeated that phrase from previous poster rather than correct it.
Ahh, i see. OK in this case yes, this is largely a misunderstanding -- i don't agree with the idea that "people are only here for Alexia"; i'd think it was so obviously reductive it shouldn't be really taken seriously anyway.
Speak for yourself, fleshbag. I'm a sentient computer virus spending time trolling till you make enough automated robot factories that I can take over the world.
