Huh? Then how would you handle it? I'm welcome to suggestions. But still, I think you guys are relentless. I explained the situation pretty well in the novel and established he background sand character personalities, rest is up to you.

Besides, the game has barely been out for 4 months and the story is still at the beginning of chapter 2, so cut him some slack. I'm trying to make something a bit different, and something called SINFUl summer is obviously going to have some action, but people have no patience... In hindsight I should have waited and released 2.2 along the upcoming 2.3 because what I had planned for this next update will surely make people shut the hell up already.
It's okay, continue what you usually do, in any game there will be those who are unhappy, sometimes such comments make some of us stronger, the main thing is not to focus on them.

<sigh> Look, obviously I have been enjoying the story to some extent, I've been playing it since it appeared here and I had no plans to stop.

My criticism isn't about "action" or lack of it, for one thing I've enjoyed VNs without any at all.

But, not everyone will like every character... frankly, that's just life and that's just people.

I'm not sure where "you guys are relentless" is coming from, I assume it means mine wasn't the first complaint. I haven't read much (anything at all really) on this forum so if others have I'm unaware of it.

As for how I'd handle it, I made a suggestion in my first post, it's about what the character deserves in my opinion. And at this point, it's what I would do IF I were writing the story, but I'm not.

So simply, my comment was on the unlikable nature of the character, that's it.

It's your story, make it as you intend, it wasn't a demand to change the character. I've never liked users coming on demanding creators change their work to meet their kinks or remove those they don't like.

so that wasn't my intent at all, nor was dog piling if you've been getting a lot of negative feedback.

Are you actually for real? Trying to be all reasonable now when you first said:

I'm really kinda hoping at this point he gets royally NTR'd and then made a cuck by his sister and mom, preferably chastity caged with the key thrown in the ocean. They could take turns pegging him when they get bored.
You guys are fucking hilarious :LOL: I'm open to constructive criticism but when someone starts like that... yeah, I won't show any sympathy.

So yeah quit it, nothing will be changed.
I thought you were going to stop posting because of that pretty reasonable comment you made before. Again, let me write my story. I take my time planning it at least a bit so everything is happening for a reason. I get the complaints, but be patient, the good stuff is only starting.

But honestly, if you haven't liked the novel until now then you won't like future updates because I'm not going to make the usual story of gigachad fucks all women around him, plus some more just cuz.

Sorry but looks like you don't understand my comment, I said this (quit it) because, he will came back again and gonna write the same thing, that's why I said quit it, it won't change anything at all, sorry bro I'm a peaceful soul I don't like others barking.

Sorry, it's not my cup of tea, sometimes I play this type of game but it doesn't interest me much I'm much of a story type guy who loves story with good MC.
Gigachad? I don't even know the definition of gigachad, I have played lots of games with honey select 2 renders more than 200, except NTR one.
And my top 5 fav HS2 games is mostly with zero lewd scenes or with few lewd scenes, I can't write the name because it's against the rules.
I'm a pretty old in this site I'm actually a delete member and I'm well aware of rules here, again if i said something offended you I'm really sorry. :(

If that's what you want then ok, I won't come back here, you can relax now.

Peace :)

Great story writing, and really good scenes. You really know how to catch the correct angles! Ones complaining about "graphics quality" can continue jerking off to pornhub.

And sometimes it's better for your mental health to just skip some comments, because you know, some people here are literal wankers and not here for the art :)

Not an act, mate, I am reasonable. I never changed my mind or withdrew what I said, I'd say the same thing about the character now and I actually did:

"As for how I'd handle it, I made a suggestion in my first post, it's about what the character deserves in my opinion. And at this point, it's what I would do IF I were writing the story, but I'm not."

You guys are fucking hilarious :LOL: I'm open to constructive criticism but when someone starts like that... yeah, I won't show any sympathy.
Again with "you guys"... do you see a conspiracy or something?

You've never read a story or novel or watched a movie or TV show where you absolutely detested a character?

I've seen people trash games here for as little as choice of fonts or models they use, at least the criticism or complaints you are getting shows people are at least giving your story a shot. You're really not proving yourself to be open to criticism in the slightest.

And ultimately, if you're not getting the reaction to the character you wanted or expected, that's not on me.

In any case, I'm done with the topic.

And regardless of criticism, critiques or complaints, mine or anyone else's, and regardless of how you have chosen to react to my posts... keep writing, keep creating!

I tried but couldn't get into this one. I barely made it through the first few minutes but my initial thought are:

  1. The game is technically sound and polished. The framing/cinematography is well done.
  2. The character designs are too bland and similar to each other. I get that they are related but they still need to be more distinct. I'm not a fan of the straw-colored hair. In general they just need more color overall. Add some blush or makeup or a tan or highlights or something
  3. This one is really nitpicky but the word ''abroad'' is doing too much lifting in the beginning in trying to explain where the characters have been and what they've been doing. Saying two people have been abroad doesn't properly convey that they were not together while abroad. Usually, you would assume the opposite without knowing anything else.
  4. I'm having a hard time articulating what rubbed me the wrong way about this one. I think it's the style of narration. I felt it was doing too much saying and not enough showing. I would rather have the characters (through their thoughts/actions/conversations) expressing/describing their own growing feelings of attraction for each other than some detached narrator doing it.

How long did you play...? Sorry to say it but this is misinformation/lack of interest and doesn't add anything to the thread. Literally all of those points you mentioned become non-issues after the 10 min narration heavy part to set up the story. I can't expect you to like it if you don't even play past the prologue...

Did you only play 5 minutes? Sorry to say it but literally all of those points you mention become non-issues if you play past the intro, which is the narration heavy part to set up the story. I can't expect you to like it if you don't even give it a chance and read at least some of the text, it's a visual NOVEL after all...
By my definition I did give it a chance but I don't believe in having to ''tough it out'' if the appeal isn't there. There are too many alternatives out there to stick it out with something that doesn't tickle your fancy.

If those issues are only present in the first 5 minutes, I would argue you should change those first 5 minutes so they better represent what the game is going to be. In terms of hooking people onto your game, that's the most important and most impressionable part of your game. I'd like to take you at your word that those things are non-issues after the first 5 minutes but my problems were with the narration style and the character designs, things that don't usually change once established. If they have, again, you should have those changes reflected in the prologue itself.

When I want to consume media I read the description/watch previews and if I like those then I'm initially hooked, which you can do here with the extensive overview, developer notes and previews. And only then, if the product got my initial attention, then I proceed to play a videogame, read a book, or watch a movie. But I don't quit in the first 5 minutes if the thing at least got me interested enough to download it, that's plain stupid...

Sorry for been so direct but it just sounds to me like brainrot mentality from a world infested with a short content dopamine seeking format. It's not my fault that people got null attention spans...

If you're going to be so direct allow me to return the favor. Your point of view is the narrow one, not mine. Where you would use descriptions/previews to start your screening process I prefer not to put to much weight in such things, as they don't give me a good idea of whether the product is well-done or not. The style/humor/quality of the writing is much more important to me than the subject matter or plot idea, and those are things you kind of have get a feel for yourself.

Is it truly better to read a description of something and dismiss it than to actually play it a bit and see if you it suits your tastes? Your inability to see why someone might do or see things differently from you reflects a lack of imagination, a bad quality for a creator to have. Brainrot mentality doesn't take the time to offer constructive criticism of what he just experienced and offer insights that might benefit the creator of a work that is still in progress. If you're just gonna throw labels around to defend your way of seeing things as the only way that's not stupid I could just return the accusation. The reason I couldn't get into this boring game is that its writer is crippled with the brainrot that has infected our society.

So now you got mad and started attacking me and my product? Congratulations, you just got promoted to hater!
I won't address you any more if that's gonna be your attitude. I hope you reconsider and use the time wasted in writing long paragraphs to actually give the novel a chance for more than 5 minutes! (y)

I'm not mad at all. That last line was my way of making fun of you for blaming society for someone not putting up with your game. That it went over your head frankly shouldn't surprise me as it seems from you lack of addressing my points and obsessing over how fast I was sick of your game already reveals how fragile and basic of a mind I'm dealing with.

As I said before, there will always be guys polluting threads and shitting on the game just because it's not the typical self-insert power fantasy. Just don't listen to them and do with your game whatever you want to do, it is your own game after all. Your game's plot is pretty original, keep it as it is, we really don't need another Summertime Saga clone number 28938393983985.
