DnD is the worst, I skipped through that shit. The Nadia thing in the gym, pure stupid.
I will say tho as much as I hate the DnD I can see the next DnD scene being fun and somewhat enjoyable. Since I believe they planned to play the version next time that had a bunch of lewd fun. Still won't be good but I think I can at least enjoy it and get a laugh out of it perhaps.

idk as much as I did dislike the book club scene the worst for me is the DnD stuff that is the only thing I will ctrl skip past on replays. ( tho I don't know if that changed any in the rework)

My top 3 for the scenes I disliked the most ( Keep in mind this is before the rework as ive yet to play it)

1. Dnd
2. Book Club
3. The Gym tryout ( tho I suspect i'll be fine with this one when I play the rework, I honestly only hated it because of some of the clothes some the LI wore like Nadia in that transparent one piece it just killed the entire scene for me )
Oh yes the DnD, it's really quite unnecessary. But well if I had to think of any future activity I would like to see, it would be the fighting lessons offered by ayua to nika. :unsure:

I think some are milf and some are cougars. Although nika seems to have attracted a lot of attention. :Kappa:

They’re so all fucking horny. Little do they know that his dick doesn’t work :KEK:
What I liked the most about the bookclub was Kelly and Jenna.
Kelly is hilarious and has amazing knockers. Hot church girl with a secretly dirty mind and a body built for sin? Sign me up. Even better if I can get in a threesome with Sasha and her, that would be a dream come true :Kappa:

If you sit with Sasha at the bookclub, you got an insight into her mind for the first time as she explained what she felt the book meant metaphorically, to her. I liked that part because, though brief, it was the first time we got to know her a little better. Up until then she was always just quietly watching and staring at Nika without much direct interaction (besides the forced stretch pairing)

Edit: I don't know how you all interpreted what she said, or how it was meant to be taken by Ocean, but to me it felt like part of her feels like a prisoner trapped in the social construct she was born into and part of her wants to break free from it)

At least to me it feels clear that she doesn't like being watched or guarded all of the time, but we've only scratched the surface and know so little about her (except that she carries around medication often used for PTSD/OCD/depression among some other things)

Nami is Nika’s conscience, he'd have a harder time fitting in without her but he’d pull through and make friends at ZPR. He comes off as weird, especially in the start when he‘s down in the dumps, but people are attracted to him for his other qualities, which are becoming more evident as the game goes on and his mental health improves.
Nami pushed him to join the basketball but he would join nonetheless. Trey appreached him when he was looking at the tryouts poster. From there he’d meet Jeff with or without Nami, go to the gym with him and find the inspiration to join the basketball team and pursue his passion.
Nami is Nika’s #1 supporter, he’d be worse off if she wasn’t there for him but he would make it through.
Yeah, I am not so sure when I look at the college interactions on the first day. He would've met Jeff and co in the auditorium, but there would be no Nami there advocating for him (especially re: basketball) in front of the others, providing a crutch, and helping him avoid a panic attack by her mere presence. I doubt Nika would've joined the posse on the sports field without Nami being there. As it was, Nika bailed on new people whenever he could on that first day and I think he would have left the college the moment he found out attendance wasn't compulsory during the tour, without really spending time interacting with anyone else.

Those interactions with others on the first day gave Nika a very small group of people (besides Nami) that could more easily interact with on subsequent days. And he didn't just fall back into his old antisocial High School behavior.

I'm out of reaction but nice observations (y)
The first day would look interesting without Nami. Let's try to enact it.

Nika gets to ZPR on his own. He'd have no excuse to talk to Bella (she wouldn't prank Nami).
He'd go straight to the basketball tryouts flyers where he'd meet Trey. This bit of dialogue makes Nika look interested already in joining the team.

He meets Mila after that. It's bound to happen as she comes say hi to Trey.

From there he'd go to the auditorium and meet Jeff, who asks him a question.

Nami butts in now in the original game.

But Nami isn't present in our scenario. Nika would say no to Jeff and Jeff would still invite him to the gym cause he's an expansive guy.

It's announced that orientation isn't mandatory.

I'm an optimist and think Nika would stay with the group a little longer, but worst case scenario let's say he leaves.
Jeff would talk about the basketball team at the gym and spark Nika's interest.
Furthermore, Nika would spend time at ZPR with him and Trey and get more inspired by them to join the tryouts.
Nika would get acquainted with all the girls in the meantime with slight variations from the original game.
SG would be worse but it could work without Nami.

On my current replay through I've tried to pay more attention to some chats, unsaid things, background characters, even clothing and accessories. One of the things I've noticed and wondered about are why Miru / Ayua use a shoelace tied like this as a necklace.

Shoelace.png

I've always assumed that Ayua was related to Miru and possibly even Miru's daughter. I've always thought Miru was either her mother or her aunt, but I guess I'll just have to wait for full confirmation someday :HideThePain:
She has a low alcohol tolerance like her as well, which she herself says:

Forgive me if I'm remembering wrong but I think she or someone mentioned she was of the Maeda household at some point, but I can't remember where I thought that was said in SG... Either way, I wonder if this is some kind of family tradition, a shoelace for a necklace definitely feels pretty unique!

Edit: I wonder if they have some kind of family tradition where they pass it down once their children beat them in combat or make a new one for them to wear? That would be interesting, a trophy of sorts within the family/clan.


Edit: I guess instead of making another post I'll add to this, also Magrid uses the same earrings as Nia. Not sure how much to read into this one though. She did mention how her family only tried to contact her again when they found she was making a lot of money from her cam shows. Magrid seemed to be either working at or owned a small store and she didn't particularly seem affluent at all. Very likely related or even her mother, at least at this point, that's my best guess.

And while I'm at it, I might as well through out the obvious Daphne/Kelly though crosses seem like they might be common so I might be reading too much into that, too (or just simply given to all members of the church). I suppose at one point Katie also had similar cross earrings too, exact same length, just a different color than Daphne/Kelly. Probably reading into some of these too much...

Sasha is my girl (despite what some people say cause I've been defending Bella lately *COFF COFF*) so I replayed that part after a long time to get back to you.

This might be foreshadowing for Nika and Sasha's future relationship and the hardship they'll face.
I felt the same, that this is probably a very light / semi-obvious foreshadowing. It feels like her words could be taken to represent Nika's situation possibly with any LI really, not just future possibilities with Sasha. It feels like he's like Aladdin trying to get with Princess Jasmine when it comes to most of the LIs, they come from completely different worlds / upbringings / social groups.

How can this labeled as porn? I thought porn had to have sex in it, this is R rated
I mean you can say that about a number of other AVN's as well... but AVN does not mean porn it's just the most common theme. Even with some the lewds taken out in the rework there is still nudity more than something like witcher. So yeah the Adult in the A still applies to this game.

Frankly with the story so far it would be weird if he did have sex right now unless Ocean did yet another rework and changed the story so his dick starts to work earlier and that would feel very rushed. Sure Nami could make sense since if I recall correctly he can get hard for Nami ( someone correct me if im wrong). Honestly even if Nika had sex with both Nami and Bella I still wouldn't count it as porn. Maybe it's just me but I find it hard to consider an AVN a porn AVN unless the lewds is main focus of the game which this is not. It's all about the characters and what little bit of story there is. So until Nika starts to have sex sex like crazy more than character or story development I personally cannot consider this an porno AVN. Maybe that's just me but that's how I see things.
