Thanks for the feedback. One thing I’ve realized since launch is that many players experience the game very differently than I do (nothing wrong with that). I just want to share my perspective.
I didn’t include the NTR tag because I genuinely didn’t feel the game contained NTR. I don’t personally enjoy NTR or cuck-related content, and from my point of view, most of the characters people mention (especially Fawn, and possibly Jester) aren’t characters Anno is romantically interested in. Because of that, nothing is really being “taken” from him.
Anno isn’t getting off on those scenes, and he isn’t a major participant either. In the intro he’s present briefly, but then he disappears while the scene plays out and only reappears at the end. The main reason he’s there at all is simply so the player can witness the scene—Anno’s personal connection to those moments wasn’t something I thought deeply about when I originally created them.
When I wrote Anno, I never intended to make him a cuck. He ends up with the girl he actually wants, and there are several other girls who are interested in him as well. From my perspective, he’s doing fine—he’s just trying to be a decent guy in a pretty messed-up fantasy world.
If people are wondering why these scenes are in the game at all, the honest answer is this: as you can probably tell if you’ve played the game, I enjoy dark humor / non-con scenarios. I had several characters I wanted to create scenes for, but I couldn’t realistically have the MC running around assaulting everyone himself. He needed time and space for his own corruption arc. The result was that Anno often witnesses these scenes, while his own content leans more toward romantic or character-driven interactions in Chapter 1. In Chapter 2 /3 the tone will be the same but person in the scenes will be the MC.
That said, I don’t want players to feel like they’re watching NTR—especially since I don’t like it either. I’m thinking about how I can make adjustments while keeping the overall plot on track. For example, if I remove Anno from certain scenes entirely and let them play out without his presence, would that still feel like an issue?
Your point about the Fawn and Goblin scene is completely fair. Anno doesn’t actually need to be there, and his presence makes him come across as too weak. I’ll be editing that scene so he only sees the very end, and I’ll be removing the internal “should I help her or not” moment—that part doesn’t work, and I agree it feels lame.
Regarding Fawn potentially being a future love interest, and how that makes the situation feel closer to NTR—I think that’s a valid interpretation as well. I suspect a lot of people saw her cute thumbnail and assumed she’d be a deer waifu. In reality, Fawn is meant to be one of the more tragic characters in the story.
Fawn serves a purpose in the MC's corruption arc:
