No kink shaming. Unlike many who objected to the open relationship, I'm looking for a way that she can be properly fulfilled, instead of being selfish and wanting all women to either fuck me or nobody. Why should Nicole be prevented from pursuing sexual activity on her own when the MC gets to fuck whomever he wants?
I can't remember for sure cause it's like S1Ep2 stuff, but IIRC prior to Nicole mentioning going into an open relationship the MC, not us playing the MC, was pretty loyal and all the advances we perceive we were making, cause its a porn game, were just him being polite/trying to get help for the hotel. Like I just skimmed through everything up until the "Go Open/Break UP" part of the game and even stuff like the twins making him hold their boob he's like "Woah!? What is she doing??" not really any "OH yeah booby/sex time!".
The only time he has sex with a girl is like just after Nicole suggests going into an open relationship and he and the girl are drunk, even then it's an optional scene and not part of the story that you HAVE to go through. It's also an initially skipped scene and just cuts to him being shocked/ashamed it happened. It's only after you choose to go into an open relationship or break up with Nicole is when he really becomes a harem protag and tries to hump everything he sees.
It's not that I'm ragging on Nicole and saying she can't have sex while the MC can, but it's just that the way the story was written up to that point makes her an unlikable character. And it's not really all her fault, the way the story was set up it's like God(the dev) was making her meet all these women in a row talking about how open relationships are a good idea. Like the divorcee who was suspicious, with no proof, of her husband cheating on her and she wishes he was for sure so she could too and that might've spiced up their marriage and saved it or something since being married for 20 years is stale. Or her sister telling her to think about an open relationship instead of going on a break (which is also just a vague bullshit term and we don't know what Nicole was
really thinking of doing before being incepted into open relationship ideas, did she actually just want to pause their relationship and not fuck other people? Did she just want to do a breakup-lite? Who knows.)
If she had come to the conclusion of trying an open-relationship by herself then she might be one of those people who actually think those can work and still love the main boyfriend and junk. But it's cause she was influenced so easily by others into suggesting/trying it people think she just wants dick other than her boyfriends without breaking up with him. And I guess it backfired on her since either choice leads to her having no dick and leads to the MC becoming a harem protag.
Edit : Okay I actually clicked going into an open relationship and the game just wants her to be a cuckqean. She wants the MC to fuck girls but when asked if she'll see others she says it's the farthest thing from her mind since she's focusing on her career. She was never a main character from the start lol.
