My major problem with the game is Ella. No, it's not what you think lol.
Basically, the MC contradicts himself. He says he'll do it himself and rather tackle his problems alone. Yet, when he comes across a hurdle, he runs to Ella instead of figuring it out himself. Then there's the fact that even if you're completely hostile towards Ella, the MC goes back to her like nothing happened. It's like he forgot she insulted him for being weak or that he said fuck her moments ago. Personally, I think he relied on Ella's advice too much early on in game. Some stuff he didn't need to go to her for but did it anyway. For me, that's a problem, narratively, but it's been solved since we joined HERO.
Another problem is Alice. Once again, it's not what you think.
She written too well to the point where other love interests don't actually stand a chance against her. She's by far the most developed love interest in game and that in itself is a problem. I personally like Alice so I don't mind but when you look at the other women, it seems more like they're flings while Alice feels more like our wife. It's not necessarily bad but if the game were to end next update, it would be a fact that Alice is the clear canon ship for the MC. There's some that get close but Alice seems undisputed and the defacto main love interest. For me, that's a problem because I feel like our other women don't get a good enough portion of screen time. That said, it'll likely solve itself in the future like with the Ella problem above.
The last problem that I have is with the monster parent option and the fact that it doesn't have a meaningful impact outside of who appears, the dialogue and how you're addressed.
Now, this isn't a major problem for me but I would've liked that our powers developed differently, depending on our choice or had a bonus effect to it. Say I'm the spawn of the 4th and I reached Level 3. Memory Echo would be used from a distance compared to if I chose the 3rd, where it would require touching. Or, say I was the spawn of the 3rd. My transformation and regeneration would be more in line with Ella than if I chose the 4th. Basically, this was the problem I had since learning the difference between the 3rd and 4th. As everyone could probably tell, I love the 4th's Memory trait the most from all of the theories and new abilities I thought of for it. So, if there's one thing I would "fix", it would be more difference between abilities, depending on who you chose in the beginning.
That's all of them, at least that I could recall at this point in time. While I do enjoy the game, that doesn't mean I don't have some problems with it. I usually don't voice them though because they usually fix themselves over time or I understand why it's that way and that it can't be helped. That's also why I rarely comment when otherpeople voice their own criticism for the game. Because I understand that the game isn't perfect at everything and there's some problems that people are allowed to voice their thoughts on. So yeah, those are my semi "major" problems with the game personally.
Oh, and sex scene variations. Also some of the lore being locked behind singular choices. I have a post coming soon about the sex scene stuff so I'll leave that one for now but the lore being split even more between choices with, seemingly, no chance to learn it afterwards is a bit too much. I feel like if I'm researching monsters, I should be able to read it all in a single playthrough and not load saves constantly to get the info. I'll leave this here though because I'm sure everyone understands my problem with this one.
Yep that explain some things a lot of them if we are being honest XD
