I have to agree about the balance. Like good lord it was just a bunch of rape and voyeurism back to back. And some of it was really overindulgent. Like the 1st scene for example just kept going.That balance is definitely one of the issues and early Anno scenes would've greatly lessened the issue.
Anno is also, as intended, kind of a set character and IMO it's not what most people expect in sandboxes. Usually people prefer having a bunch of options to dicate the character/what they would do in the situation.
Like the night Tavern scene would usually have stuff like a very player-centric option where the player basically takes the character for himself before anything happens, and if he does let her go to the alley, he'd have futher options like helping her disguise that she did that, blackmailing her into paying him, or even fucking him, or lying and saying he won't tell, then immediately telling her when they get back. Obviously with how Anno and his relationships are written this has no way of working, but that IS the general expectation of sandbox.
I actually do like Anno's character and agree that most of the stuff is not "by definition" NTR, but it does feel like it wouldn't take much to shift it in that direction as others pointed out.
Ultimately I think Chapter 2-3 will rectify the issues, since Anno will be an actual active initiator, but it's a shame Chapter 1 is going to filter a lot of people out of it.
But thinking about the events I saw. We have rape, voyeur, voyeur, rape, rapeish? with the frog and tadpole thing. Which honestly almost made me clock out right then. Like how it went down was just weird and gross. Though I suppose it was supposed to be funny or something. Then voyeur if you clicked on the side of the waterfall? or somewhere around the place to see those two again. Then back to rape. Now I know some people into it. But I don't know if the birth thing was supposed to be taken that way
Then I proceeded to just unlock the gallery to see what else there was. Though the MC does get a morsel of action. Mostly just more of the same. Some court mandated early game snu snu could've done wonders. I mean even if later chapters were to bring things around. That was uh.... definitely an intro to a game alright.
