I think a lot of you guys are failing to see the potential of a foursome scene with InodaxAsuna and HebishimaXSister. We don’t need Hebishima gone to get Asuna and Suguha in the room together.
Furthermore, I’d hate to lose out on the setup for the library “student sessions” that we got in 0.1 with Hebi and the girls. Imagine that Inoda and Hebi become friends and they start bringing their respective girls there for example.
My opinion is that Inoda being the loser he is getting any girls besides Asuna + her Mom would lessen the impact of it for me. Meanwhile, him getting into a creepy possessive lovey-dovey corruption arc with Asuna where she not only falls for his dick but for him as a person sounds super hot/awesome to me. Again, just my personal preference.
Plus, it would allow us to still get frequent CG’s from the other girls while enjoying the slow burn fall of Asuna without rushing that plot line for instant gratification (and regret when we’re out of content).
In the end, I’ll trust what Fujino does with his work. Oh, and do support them on Patreon if you can!
Thing is, that would 'realistically' make as little sense as Inoda getting all the girls ironically. Hebishima IS a complete piece of shit and Inoda is hated by all for being an ugly fuck, they're even less likely to become any sorta friendly that Inoda is to actually become friend with Kirito for real, so either way would be unrealistic, but the truth of the matter is that none of that is crossing Fujino's mind (Also Lisbeth at the very least was ALSO gonna end up 'prey' to Inoda regardless of these new possible changes, the setup of the first update already all but confirmed that).
But yeah, in the end this "get rid of Hebishima" possibility wasn't done at all because of Fujino thinking of a more proper way for the story to go, is because most people didn't care for Hebishima storyline period and he decided to bring up the chance that let him have to work less in a whole section of the game most player seemingly didn't really appreciate at all. In the end the only reason Hebishima existed was so there was another more 'realistic' plot of Suguha getting NTR-ed, but if most of the people commenting to him don't care for that and just want more of Inoda's plot then removing Hebishima's plot and using the girls that were gonna be his for Inoda's plot of getting Asuna is the most logical outcome (Because as mentioned before, Fujino wasn't gonna remove the girls period, he already made their models and everything after all and at the very least he willingly chose Suguha to be a part of the game since the beginning).
Also, this may just be me personally but when I wanted to see a Suguha x Asuna scene I didn't want it to be each with a different dick in them, but an actual
threesome XP
Hebishima is just a boring character but I think the new characters Klein X Alice would be even more boring, so what they fuck, I don't even know Alice in this game.
Oh yeah, I agree with that, though to be fair we still don't even know if Klein WAS gonna get lucky with Alice, as someone mentioned earlier he could have been brought to replace "Charlie" and despite him not being Kirito he, like almost every decent male in this world, was getting NTR-d too in Part 1, Alice could have very well just have been set up to end up falling prey to the prostitution ring she's basically roping Kirito and Klein into investigating with her, but I agree it felt like the 'weakest' of the 3 plots being set up for Part 2, mainly because it didn't have any build-up from Part 1 and because Alice was made even more of a complete OC than anyone else in the game just to fit within a NTR plot, being nothing like her actual character at all (I think this may be because, I'm pretty sure, Alice and Lisbeth were only added to the game because of a poll and not an original plan of Fujino back in Part 1, so he had to set up something completely new for Alice as he yet wasn't thinking back then that "most people only just cares for Inoda's plot").
So either Fujino didn't offer to get rid of Klein over Hebishima because he wasn't gonna get any to begin with or because he thought immediately getting rid of him after he had just introduced him would be a waste too, while Hebishima has been (literally) fucking around since Part 1.
At the end of the day though, we're gonna have to wait a while to see what he decided, maybe a week or two when he releases the next update he will have come to a decision/conclusion whether following the poll or not.
