This update has exceeded my expectations. And it being Oceans, my expectations were already pretty high. I can't help but relate to Bella more than any other female character on this site. She is such a well-written character. The MC is not lacking depth either. He, unlike most MC's for AVNs, is a deep and rather complex character. His interactions and thoughts lately have made me really curious as to what exactly happened to Summer. Did she commit suicide? Was she murdered? It's definitely something more than her simply disappearing. I know now that her "disappearance" was most likely a metaphor for the MC completely blocking out whatever has happened to her.
It would be nice if she were still alive though. If she is alive, I'd be most curious as to how Oceans plans on bringing her back into the story. The plot itself simply has me in awe every single time, due to the fact that AVNs aren't normally anywhere near this level in terms of writing and story. That, and its execution. The themes, moods, atmospheres, etc. all enhance the story to a degree seemingly unheard of amongst AVNs.
For the characters, I was honestly surprised that Nadia would do such a thing to the MC after how well he treated her(in my playthrough at least). Zara did not really shock me, as she definitely seems the kind of girl that would do something like that. Robin surprised me though. I'll have to agree with the people above(or before this comment) stating that they no longer want anything to do with those characters. I do feel as if it was rather excessive of them to do that to the MC and now I am most curious on how the MC will get out of that situation. It's not something too serious, but it was still a bit much for them to do that to him over a game of basketball. Another thing that I'm curious about, is how Bella will fit into all of this. Zara seems a bit domineering and I know for a fact that when two headstrong women are in an area together, it will not always end up well. I just really want to see the dynamic between Bella and Zara, as well as Bella and the MC in future updates. Bella is my favorite character so far, and aside from Jill(Being a DIK), my favorite character from any AVN. I hope this dev gives her and the MC the happy ending they deserve. We're still in the early stages of their relationship and her path, so I hope we gain some progress next update. I'm really curious as to how everything will turn out.
