The ending of this chapter is what is known as a "cliffhanger" in story telling. It was a very popular method in serial TV shows in the past, long before we all had "instant gratification" available at our fingertips with things like home computers, smart phones, porn on demand, etc. It was EXPECTED in some short-episode (timewise) broadcasts like Saturday morning sci-fi programs aimed at younger audiences (due to a younger person's shorter attention spans). It was common to watch a 10-minute "episode" that would leave the (hero, MC, victim, etc) in an adverse situation, then have to wait an entire week to see the next 10-minute episode to discover how the "bad situation" was resolved...but ALWAYS still left SOMEONE in the story in another "cliffhanger" at that episode's end. Wash, Rinse, Repeat...for several episodes (chapters) over several months of the story. Many VN's today use the same formula. It keeps the viewer coming back, and more importantly in some cases keeps them subscribed with a recurring money donation over an extended period of time for the entire story to play out. Which means it's still "Business 101" as far as some developers who are doing VN's for a living as a sole source of income (and there is NOTHING wrong with that).

A common dictionary definition of cliffhanger is: "a situation or part of a play or movie that is very exciting or frightening because you are left for a long time not knowing what will happen next." Exactly the position the MC (and also ALL of the females too!) are in at the end of this chapter.

To avoid going spastic over any of this, please remember THESE ARE NOT REAL PEOPLE. They are FICTIONAL CHARACTERS in a story. It doesn't matter one bit if you agree or disagree with what they are doing or how the author of the story characterizes them. Getting yourself all stressed out about any of it is silly. And in severe cases it can actually have a negative effect on YOUR own health and well-being.

Just enjoy the ride, look at the pretty naked pictures (which if you are honest is why you are "reading\watching" the porn-related VN in the first place), ignore the "text" if it doesn't meet your approval, and keep moving on. Fap...Don't Fap...whatever floats your boat. But getting in silly disagreements about the storyline or "competence" of the developers is totally absurd. If you keep doing that, YOU will be the ones the Zombies just walk by when they are looking for brains. :LOL:

You heard the man everybody
No point in discussing the game or having arguments about the plot
We might as well just shut the thread down now
It's not like this forum is for discussing the game or anything like that


BTW I don't fap to this it's much too vanilla
I'm here for the good story and of course Shortcake

P.S. that cliffhanger was neither exciting nor frightening.

Discussion is not the same as slamming a developer for something just because the product doesn't meet someone's expectations. I see it all the time about the MC's narratives and the direction a VN story takes. THAT'S the point I was making. Not to mention the "discussions" that actually meet all the requirements to be called an "assault" on a developer or other forum member instead of a civilized debate. There is such a thing as CONSTRUCTIVE criticism vs just plain "venting" for attention.

And as far as if the ending was "neither exciting or frightening", please broaden your education by searching for other definitions of "Cliffhanger", of which there are many. Such as...

"A cliffhanger is a literary device that ends a section of a story in a stunning event or a big dramatic question. In a cliffhanger the protagonist is left in a precarious situation, or is confronted with shocking new information, and the reader is compelled to keep reading more to find out what happens next." So please quit "cherry-picking" just the way you want to define the term. It's called "confirmation bias" and is an indication of not understanding or being willing to accept the reality of the situation.

A simple gallery unlock script. Just place it in the game folder and everything should be unlocked.

Game version: Ch. 3 v0.02i Extras

Backup your persistent data if you have any doubts that this little unlocker might brick your game.

This mod shouldn't interfere with other mods.
If you use SanchoMod you really don't need this little script unless you aren't satisfied with the fully unlocked SanchoGallery.

Python: 
# Use this unlock script at your own risk.
# https://f95zone.to/threads/.49330/post-11579614

# Start the deal with the devil
init 666 python:
    # Walkthrough
    setattr(persistent, "v_walkthrough_locked", False)

    # Peeping Tom Gallery
    setattr(persistent, "v_xray_locked", False)
    setattr(persistent, "v_xray_enabled", True)

    if not v_pt_images is None:
        for week_images in v_pt_images:
            for i, image_alt in week_images:
                varname = "v_pt_image_index_" + i
                if getattr(persistent, varname) != True:
                    setattr(persistent, varname, True)

    # Doughnut Gallery
    if not v_rewards_min_digits is None:
        for who, digits in v_rewards_min_digits.items():
            i = 0
            while renpy.loadable("images/rewards/lewd gallery/" + who + "/lewd_" + who + "_" + str(i + 1) + ".jpg"):
                i += 1
                varname = 'v_rewards_' + who + '_' + str(i).zfill(digits)
                if getattr(persistent, varname) != True:
                    setattr(persistent, varname, True)

    # Replay Gallery
    gallery_unlock_list = [
        'w11eow_nicole_bedroom', 'w11eow_yuki_sex', 'w11eow_svet_sex',
        'w11eow_k_sex', 'w12sow_s_morning_sex', 'w12mow_tw_sex',
        'w12eow_c_sex', 'w12eow_ash_sex', 'w12eow_s_evening_sex'
    ]

    for gallery_unlock_item in gallery_unlock_list:

            setattr(persistent, varname, False)

    # Make sure the replay scenes are clickable

        renpy.game.seen_session[label] = True

I read the last couple of pages
And I didn't see any dev slamming
Just people saying how they didn't like the cliffhanger or stuff like that
(Unless nasty comments were deleted of course)

And hey the reason people are venting is because they are emotionally invested in the story
That shows how much of a good game it is
If it was just some boring porn game people wouldn't care

Good points, and I totally agree. But even if there wasn't any dev slamming in the past couple pages, we're on page 750 of this thread with over 14,900 posts already where there has been a continual history of it happening over and over and over...:LOL:

The amusing part of many of the posts I described is the poster's willingness to adamantly defend their "right" to post their negative opinion about the game or developer, while at the same time responding negatively to another poster's praise of what they like about the game or developer. It's hipocrisy at it's best.

But we can move on. I just downloaded some more pirated porn poses I want to try rendering. Life is good. :ROFLMAO:
