A lot of people are commenting that Fujino is trying to rush the game. I feel like it's less about rushing the game but more about suddenly being thrown into some kind of conspiracy plot after all this time with the Six Beasts. Since it came out of nowhere with a lot of exposition, it ends up feeling like Fujino is just doing a bunch of lore dumping to finish the game as fast as possible.

But to me it's less about Fujino rushing the game and more just Fujino not really planning out the overall story at all. Part 1 doesn't really have any main focus other than a typical NTR story where Inoda is going to NTR Kirito and steal Asuna from him. And honestly that's kind of all the story needs to be to generally be more or less satisfactory. But Fujino probably feels ambitious and wants to try do something unique and interesting, so they started this secret council plotline. Unfortunately plot lines like this are things that should have been developed and established back in Part 1. Like finding out after 15 - 20 hours into the game that Hebishima was actually part of this secret society is kind of yikes rofl.

The indication of the secret council from my perspective is less the game rushing itself to the end, and more like Fujino is unintentionally making the game take even longer to finish. I think the lore stuff was interesting/amusing, but I will 100% acknowledge a lot of this crazy in-depth stuff isn't really needed at all. A vast majority of people weren't here for this goddess plot line to begin with. At best the administrator character could have just been some amusing deus ex machina character and also an easter egg for people that ended up realizing they could go in the other building in the recollection room.

All the dialogue from this extra plotline alone ended up probably taking me another 30 - 50 minutes to read through that could have probably been used for more simpler means of telling the story. Like Fukushi, and the old police cop could just be corrupt officials that are taking advantage of Alice and Kirito gets entangled in this mess. Then this ends up leading to Asuna getting into the situation of falling for a misunderstanding as it originally happened in this update. The thing we would also have gotten in exchange might have been more scenes because all the lore dumping wouldn't have happened.

But yeah I think that since Fujino now has to divert more attention to develop this "main story plot" there's going to be more dialogue (aka more yapping) and less scenes. That also probably means the progression of events are going to take longer than normal.

Yeah, kind of like that, but I think that since Fujino was forced to make a Part 2 to begin with, he already had an idea for a 'main plot' in mind. It’s not his first attempt; Sakura Chapter also has a 'main story' even though 90% of the game is ntr. Now that he had time to think about it, he is starting to implement the story, but it's indeed very roughly done.

I mention Hebishima, because that entire stuff is just extremely jarring. Also ngl the Six Beasts stuff just makes Hebishima somehow miraculously failing to continue corrupting Suguha feel really out of place and weird. It has that whole "goddess" plot line a lot of people complain about in here. Like Hebishima being unable to continue being a fuckboy playboy with resources is because the secret society he's in decides to drop him. This also ends up meaning that the Administrator/Goddess decided to drop support for him. So it kind of makes the unsaid dialogue of Suguha/Leafa breaking free from Hebishima more lack luster than it needed to be. It also ends up feeling like a way to force Sinon and Agil into the story when they're not needed at all tbh.

But yeah overall, this "main plot" is probably the worse thing story wise Fujino has attempted to do I think. It doesn't mean I didn't enjoy it. I can enjoy the ride we're on, but I can also acknowledge how jarring and out of place this thing feels.

Nope, there was no mention of Liz in any of his progress reports over the last 2 month, so no surprise there.

I agree with you the 6 beasts should be added if not in the first game at least in the begining of the second.
Fujino give to somenthing perceived as a Plot device/convinence the Admin a backstory, to fix the lack of structure in the main plot and to speed up the game.
If Fujino follow his road map he only have 9 updates left to do he already did 11 out of 20, and not much more to show to be fair, like the first BJ IRL scene that everyone was especulating was done like nothing no fuss no muss.
He add the shadow council in the plot to have something to write about that's all.

Yeah, all true. Same with Inoda; this whole admin plotline made basically question everything he had done so far. But well, I just stopped wondering about such things at some point and just hope it doesn’t retcon the characters too much in the future.

So this update once again cements the fact the inoda is a perfect example of how bad it is to let lust control your every move.
Since ntr online until now, everything that's been happening is because Ino constantly lets his dick think for him.
He is without a doubt acting like a sociopath who will do anything (hurting people that have done nothing but helped him and being nice to him when no one else ever has) just to get his dick into someone else's girl.
He also has zero sense of morality, or compassion. Asuna literally just found out (or thought) that Kirito was "cheating" on her, and ALL ino could think of was his reward, that was genuinely pissing me off, but then he gets rewarded for acting in such a way anyways even if it was kind of by force Asuna still just lets him do what ever he wants with her.
If Fujino has ANY care for story telling, then everything Ino did and will do should come back to bite him in the ass. ik fuji said hes working on some kind of plot twist, so hopefully the twist is Kirito actually finds out and gets his retribution for being betrayed this whole time while hes been nothing but a good a faithful boyfriend even when they try to gaslight him into thinking hes the bad guy.

If there will be two endings we need one where Inoda gets Asuna and one where Kirito figures out whats going on and somehow makes Inoda's life a living hell, idk i like the idea of seeing bad people get a bad ending, Henteria 2 was really good at that.

I like the second option

 

[The Jailer]

what is the CG set that he posted on patreon ?

yeah 100% 2 endings would be alot better and i know for a fact id go with kiritos good ending haha

I do not care for Kirito winning, only the bad guys losing since most are insufferable

 

[Infeno2.0]

I've posted this ages ago but the whole thing about Admin/goddess was a weird way of Fujno represent his players/supporters into the story besides being a lazy plot device.
Hebishima was kick out by the fans and explanation "he's no longer have the goddees is his side"
Everyone complain about Inoda's being help by her, she told him to fuck off this time.
Clever way of him reply the fans demands

 

[Aniky Light]

It's fine with me like this too

The question is, why is there another green stripe?.. The author may be planning that at a certain level Kirito will accept infidelity and become a cuckold. And okay, it will be at the end , or we are waiting for several updates where we will look at the scenes of Inoda and Asuna, where Kirito is sitting next to him with a sad face.

And again, if there are 2 endings, then one will be where he knows nothing and they will go to America and get married in Las Vegas as they wanted, but then there seem to be no consequences. This is unlikely. Or Asuna leaves Kirito, who doesn't understand anything and just lives on suffering from a breakup. Or he finds out everything, and Asuna says that he is a loser and impotent, and Inoda is a cool dude.(this is if she is completely broken in the IRL and the indicator of love for Kirito falls below Inoda.)

 

[Aniky Light]

do you think Admin could take away Inoda's powers?

 

[mos555]

do you think Admin could take away Inoda's powers?

Alternatively, the Admin can take away Inoda's penis in the game, and without understanding anything, Asuna and Inoda will be forced to meet in the IRL

 

[HCoel]

So Im not playe the recent update yet, from the comment I can assume is the game already finish?

 

[Infeno2.0]

For all who wants Inoda get fucked, never was said he will endup as the big winner he is only the guy making Asuna to fall that's it.
But let's say in order for him get fucked in the end, as Kirito you have to forgive Asuna knowing everything she did, would you do it?

 

[Nutting The Rueful]

No, not yet finished, the guys here has let their imagination run wild.

 

[Komdot]

Henteria 2 was really good at that.

It definitely wasn't, the revenge ending is complete crap, and anyway Zeno wasn't punished severely for his crimes.

The way this game is going I doubt it will have more than one ending, it's too linear, imagine a revenge ending that Japanese people don't like.
