im not sure if anyone actually answered you yet because just "ntr" is not an actual answer here..
its mild netorare so far. we are playing as kirito who is getting his asuna stolen by a guy who isnt good stealer material. so its actually more of a comedy ntr because the stealer needs a lot of help and a lot of emotional blackmailing to get what he wants.
2 routes were announced:
1 where kirito "allow" it to happen later on.
and 1 where kirito will forever remain oblivious to everything
A correction to this, Fujino didn't say "routes" he said "ENDINGS". The difference is big here because routes would imply 2 whole full story branches, while endings could be just one day and an epilogue and be done with it :O
My guess is that it's a combination of 3 or 4 characters that leads to Hebishima's downfall. Kirito will probably gather evidence on Hebishima conducting illegal activities. Sinon seems like she's going to go yandere to keep Hebishima for herself. If you're wondering why I mention that, you can check the Park on 6/12 Saturday and Sinon is kind of mumbling to herself about her being stupid, but saying Hebishima~Senpai~. She also ends up trying to look for him after she leaves. The 3rd character is obviously just Suguha/Leafa pushing Hebishima into a desperate corner for him to continue making stupid decisions that lead to probably Kirito "officially getting rid" of Hebishima.
It could be Suguha who does it, it's just that I'm guessing that Kirito has to feel like he got a "win" when in actuality it's a false win considering all the time spent here is time for Inoda to steal Asuna. Also the end result of this side story is probably Alice screwed over, Sinon potentially winning by keeping Hebishima for herself, and Suguha potentially winning for herself but also screwing over Kirito by going nuts.
Just felt like I should at least clarify it. But I agree it's probably just someone complaining for the sake of complaining because of not having Asuna/Inoda. Which btw I thought they had a respectable amount by showing the Treehouse POV, and the Blowjob scene.
I notice you mentioning this in earlier posts. Like how Suguha doesn't get hypnotized and Alice instead does. I know it's shoehorned in, but I can at least believe Suguha potentially bypassing some of the people hypnotizing her. The "forced reason" was that apparently S-Class rating was community based. And at the very least in the earlier updates they were making it a big deal that there's a "blonde elf" specifically in the underground. At least in FOG it's apparently a really rare and extremely sought after race/kink that people want. So at least it makes some sense they shoot her up to S-Class. It's forced, but I'm willing to suspend my disbelief because I'm not here expecting novel level writing from this game.
As a side note, I wanted to mention to you that it seems like there was indeed some hope to still believe that Fujino has interesting plans for Leafa. Other than Fujino liking a comment about it, I also think it's probably the best way to keep this side story interesting while the main action is going on. Anyways I look forward to future updates; Sinon, Suguha, and Liz seem like they're all going to be interesting.
To be fair, at this point is honestly just plot-convenience. I also like the game but while Fujino is putting a lot of effort and focus on it, and I massively respect the dude, he's not some top-tier writer as you said. As mentioned, even since Part 1 he has created several plot-holes not only regarding canon but even in-universe coherence for his NTR Universe AU, and that was before we got Administrator messing with things for real as a legit goddess, so yeah, we can try and explain it away but I just handwave it as plot-conveneince and don't think too much on it.
So a quick question to everyone who finished the update. At the end of the update when Inoda hide Asuna from Kirito, was it a new BS ability or something established. For Kirito, he could not see or hear Asuna, which makes sense for Inoda's ability. But for Asuna, she could not hear or see Kirito AND she could not hear or see Inoda talking to Kirito. Inoda just quietly staring into nothing from her perspective. So this means he can put someone into a isolated space where the person cannot perceive the outside of the space. Pretty sure that is something new unless what he did to Asuna during church confession scene was this too?
Honestly, at this point Inoda's skills are SO clearly just whatever Fujino needs them to be for Kirito to be NTRed right in his face without him noticing it and not just say "He's chronically retarded/blind" that I didn't even question it XD
Let's not forget Suguha just picked up a lot of photography equipment and will have access to Kirito's body while his mind is camping. That has to lead to something interesting.
Seems new to me. But also just seems like the whole upgrade to his new ability where he was able to rub his dick on Asuna's thigh without her realizing it. So I'd guess it's probably something along those lines. Since Asuna is close to Inoda, Inoda uses that on Asuna to make Kirito unaware of Asuna, and then he uses it on Kirito and himself to make Asuna unaware of what's going on? Idk, I guess it'd also just be that ability he showed to hide the semen mess in the treehouse.
I have high hopes for this. I doubt it would happen, but it would be fucking hilarious if Suguha made her own blogpost thing like Inoda, and it's just her raping Kirito in his sleep, or while he's in VR. But also her bitch talking about Asuna on the blog. But going back to realistic hopes, is that I'm just hoping she ends up doing hot kinky shit with Kirito with her cameras. And I can't wait for the day she uses her Flora identity to bang him in-game.
The moment she got full access to being at his home without suspicion and got that 'dark smile' on her when he told her he was gonna be online all the way until the next day I almost cheered loudly (Now we just need to hope Fujino doesn't suddenly make Hebishima turn the tables on her when she goes to his house to get the cameras...low chance at this point and with the build-up, but one never knows).
But really, I hope this time we actually SEE what happens, while I'm happy he stuck to her development this way I'm still sad Fujino-sensei never included what Sugu did with Kirito's unconscious body offscreen during those two days XP
Also, I personally DON'T think she will manage to bang him in-game? Because that would require Kirito to full-on cheat on Asuna, which I don't think he would as it would compromise the two endings stated. Unless for some reason his next mission in Alice's quest includes him HAVING to fuck 'Flora' to not blow his cover or something, I just don't see it happening despite how much I would love for it to go like that
