the blackmail came out strong and really harsh. It went from 0-100 in 2 encounters with bella.I didnt care for the blackmail in teachers pet aswell...same thing, started off super harsh. Love the idea of a non blackmail route with bella.
I actually liked how strong and harsh the blackmail came with Bella; far too often sadistic choices are made wimpily and half-hearted, rather than actually going in strong, so it's nice to see that for a change. However, at the same time I'm also happy to see a non-blackmail route, because I also like to break bitches with kindness and make them fawn over me, in these sorts of scenarios.
Reminds me of Sera in Trials of Tainted Space, most especially, for H-game bitches that you break; sure she's still a bitch in the end, but she's YOUR bitch, and she loves you for breaking her to your will, in the end, and actually appreciates it- not because her mind was broken, but because she actually sees that she's better off now than she was before.
For a non-H-game example of strong and harsh elements that most wuss out on, find a copy of (or emulate) Soul Nomad and the World Eaters, for PS2. The main storyline path in the game is all about being the hero even when you didn't want to be, and the redemption of evil (I'm being a bit vague here, but it's all spelled out right in the first few minutes of the game), but the Demon Path of the game involves you saying screw the destiny that your mentor is trying to shove onto you, screw the world- now that you have power, you're going to seize the world for yourself. AND YOU DO. People start worshipping you, serving you out of fear that you'll just consume their very essence, you crush and subjugate innocents, it's FUCKING GREAT!
