Mate, I read your words but I completely fail to understand their meaning.sorry but that's exactly where it doesn't fit but then doesn't fit at all! It's not because IRIS says she's in a relationship with Stewart that it has to be definitive either especially since she sends many signs again and again towards Blake! On this you are not at all clear and impose a disgusting NTR relationship! You do the same thing with Rebecca by making a romantic relationship impossible between Blake. For you it's logical since you write but the narrative transcription is not clear. In addition you do not allow a second chance in a relationship. It's your AVN obviously but honestly imposing choices like that is more than disturbing given the length of the story and the number of characters.
Frankly apart from shitty and toxic relationships it's starting to be a bit much and ruins your big development work. The principle of domination or submission is not necessarily toxic I'm not telling you anything. For example, IRIS clearly says she is looking for a normal and balanced relationship: how does being trans, for example, prevent a balanced relationship? It allows for intimate connections but not a balanced life?
But if I follow your narrative idea, the only conclusion is that IRIS is just a big manipulative bitch who destroys everyone she approaches: her escape from the underworld causes Blake problems, her return to the zone causes Blake to be raped, not to mention what he has to do to try to defend Iris; Iris forms an intimate relationship with an old fart... Same with girls like Pepper and Jasmin... So why not allow several moments to simply break the friendly relationship rather than for example seeing Blake continue to listen to her venomous words: basically, look at you Blake and your superficiality while I am now someone educated and useful!
What relationship becomes intelligent and healthy? allows a common progression of the MC and an LI? none for the moment! It seems that Blake never manages to progress psychologically if we analyze the speeches of the LI around him! Iris evolves, Suya evolves, Lucia evolves, Melinda evolves... but here Blake is confined to a role of caricatured Submissive or caricatured Dominant! How can we come to believe that a person like Blake cannot choose a more settled life. but Sorry at one point I can no longer follow your story, logical or else it's the NTR that is not going at all. For you it is clear but for us readers no. It's as if you were directing Batman Begins and then at one point you change the color of the costume to pink with green polka dots! I can assure you that despite a real quality of background you will see the film very differently!
Understand well I will do a complete story with your Walktrough but I am used to making stories freely at the beginning to take advantage of the immersion and judge the quality. I love that this story is long but if I learn along the way that the IRIS path is blocked and is only allowed with a fake relationship with an old fart, then I will stop before the end because it becomes mental torture.
to answer to you: because his old teacher is an adventurer maybe?
I even asked myself: If Blake commits suicide (let's imagine that she realizes that her life is meaningless) how many people would come to see her on her grave? Well since I am currently in the chapter in Deliverance, I will say: 0. Well after 4 days of play I must say that it is more than disturbing and saying: you have chosen your path badly ..... is not a sufficient answer unfortunately.
I do my 1st playthrough completely blind and I got almost exactly what I was looking for. I missed Brees sexual pass. But I cannot see this is a disadvantage as this VN is SO big that it requires atleast 2 more playthroughs for me to see the content I am interested in.
And they will feel as fresh as the 1st one due to the abundance of branches.
From your reaction about the type of relationships I would assume that you maybe got a little bit too lost in Yedas world. I would see this rather as a testament of how good the writing and the story creation is than a complaint about certain choices being final or the way they are.
The great thing about it: you can always go back, make other choices and see where they lead you. For Most characters imho it is not going to be a surprise how they react.
Cheers!
