I have to preface this, if you play this game with one hand, then of course nothing is wrong with this update and can continue to pretend its only
this minority that dislikes this, accountability is for losers anyway
But, he can't actually, he is forced to stay friendly with them no matter what and act like all is fine and dandy. You can stop having sex and the reason given is laughable, since he says they are close to the villain of the story and their connection with him is dangerous, yet keeps working closely with them in the business that the villain wants to take and he is still friends with them.
The goody two-shoes law graduate has no problem with the fact that they are using brainwashed church girls, or that its illegal, disgusting, or immoral. I mean he never had a backbone the entire game, but cmon
They have more screen time and longer relationship routes than confirmed main LI Ashley, have the same relationship structure as Shortcake(Main LI), Ashley(Main LI), Victoria(Confirmed to get an ending), only Sister is categorically more prominent than the Twins. Compare them with actual side fucks like the nurse, or if you want to push it Jazmin and Trisha and tell me the game treats them the same way and the devs didn't overshoot when setting them up.

Probably because they make shit up as they go instead of having a mapped story and probably they initially intended them to get an ending, no matter how small, but now that is done and buried, after the audience reaction to their reveal

Also the Relationship UI is useless in pointing out who is main, who is secondary and who is just random hookup. We have 3 main and one 2ndary character in the first row, we have Yuki in front of the Twins but the Twins have 3 times the content and screen time and are introduced earlier, everything is a mess and nothing in there makes sense whatsoever. New players coming in and not reading discord posts that get lead on by the game with false hope of an ending for The Twins have every right to be pissy about plot twists at the end of their route, because the developers didn't respect players' time enough to give them the information about what type of characters they are before you get with them. Don't even try to argue that sexually liberated women, that like to sleep with the guys they like, as they are initially presented and being the town bicycle and getting paid for sex are even in the same realm of comparison!
The devs using the excuse that 'they always told you they are not looking for something serious' is laughable, they also told you they are open books and they never share men, yet they lied about both of those. How do we decide when they aren't telling the truth and when do we take their initial words as gospel? The answer is, when its convenient for the devs. By the way, Vicky also tells you she wants nothing serious and she apparently gets an ending, so look for a better excuse next time.
The most viewed and 3rd best rated game on the site has plenty of prostitute LI and they are major fan favorite characters. Instead of crying about NTR, people are begging the developer, lets call him Pinkman, to upgrade them to main status and get a happy ending. You know why? Because it respects the player's time and investment and gives them information about what type of girls they are BEFORE you have any relation with them, doesn't Rian Johnson your expectations 2 updates before the end of the game for cheap shock value. At that point if someone is going after these type of characters, the dev is in the clear and its 100% on the player.
Keep the MC in the dark, if it serves your plot and stop trying to punk the player!
The only silver lining of this entire storyline would be if the MC can backstab them and go to the FBI, but judging by the lack of conflict in his inner monologue about staying close to them, we all know that will not be happening, so the entire church plot and the twins as characters and
love interests pursuable vaginas are irredeemable and the faster we move on from that plot is better. What's done, is done.
From your posts it seems you have no problem because you enjoy this type of content, I do too, but since I don't play VNs for kinks, I happen to care about the story and characters more, and this right here sacrifices character development in favor of awkwardly setting up a fan service kink later down the line. Its the execution that kills it, not the fact that it happens.
The girls would have had the moral high ground, if they would have confronted the MC right away. Now Vicky looks hypocritical and selfish because she is perfectly aware about MC's situation, she is actually the one that multiple times has insisted on casual dating and more importantly because she knows the Sister, her best friend, loves the MC, yet decides to still seduce her to work her frustration with the MC. She withholds that she also sleeps with the MC till
after they do the deed and in typical females in Sunshine Love suffers zero backlash for it. If MC was in Vicky's place and he would confess
after sleeping with the Sister, she would be angry at him for using her, like she gets pissed 20 times during the game for even more innocuous reasons, thats her character, but since its not the MC doing it she isn't even bothered about it.
The Sister is bipolar and is flip-flopping between being conflicted and wanting to confess her feelings to the MC and trying to set him up for the confrontation with Vicky to the point that I was wondering if my game is bugged and I'm getting content from 2 different versions of her character. She also has amnesia about knowing the MC and Vicky have kissed and went on dates and she encouraged him about it and dating in general and says that 'I know you and Vicky don't get along well, but maybe we can go for drinks all 3', lol.
Did the sister hit her head? Did Dots?
The bisexual, bi-curious feelings come out of left field. Period. There are zero hints in the entire game that any of those two might like girls, let alone each other, it all happens as yet another plot twist, No, the Nicole conversations is insufficient and even if you pretend its enough it happens in the last 30 minutes of gameplay, which is way too fucking late to start hinting at something this big. 'We slept with each other in college and now we are suddenly deeply in love'... Hell Sister and Victoria as best friends is barely explored, arguably there is no difference shown in the game between that friendship and Sister and Twins friendship, but I can let that slide.
There needs to be continuity patching done all the way to the start of the game to make this work.
The game damn near forces the MC into dating around, what with giving him zero input in how you deal with the initial Open Relationship proposition by Nicole, or having unavoidable and unskippable sexual content with the Sister and Cousin(If I didn't encounter a bug, I think you are forced to kiss her?), after you are again forced to take a break from the Sister and go around dating other people, and now that the player MIGHT have slept around, after the game constantly pushed them in that direction, the devs are waiting in next update to throw a pie into their faces and tell them 'we got you, suckers'...pathetic direction and execution,
Do I even need to mention they picked the coward way out of the conundrum they created and gave the player the option to control if the sister goes along with Vicky?
I am sure code savvy people can look up everything I just posted about, but if people are curious, I can try and provide screenshots with the dialogue, so you can see with your own eyes how disjointed the story has become.
tl, dr, If you would have told me that the game changed writers this update and the new one knows only the synopsis of what has happened in the game so far, I would have no trouble believing you, because there are major continuity problems and it feels like you skipped at least 2 updates worth of content between MC, the Sister and Vicky.
I still can't really understand how its possible that after 7 years, 3 games and past controversies where they allegedly promised to not try to push shady stuff onto their overwelmingly vanilla audience, they couldn't anticipate how this will be received, or think of a better setup for these storylines. Its what made me play for more than a week straight, trying every possible route, because I was fascinated by this drama and how down right shocking it is that it exists. And for once its not the 'purists' fault, its 100% self inflicted.
