Tbh, I don’t mind his insta-corruption games; they’re just silly and fun. But he could use some of the new mechanics to enrich them with new gameplay possibilities. He’s not great at writing large-scale stories, but he’s decent enough at dialogues, so why not keep it simple and entertaining?
A lot of people are here for the scenes, I think the story is really cool and even more so for the slow corruption itself, and as you said I like the gameplay and the dialogues that are fun.
I personally don't agree that the story is good because I can't overlook all the issues with character development, forced pacing, and plot holes. But since I don't really care about the main plot, it's fine. I like the Suguha sub-plot, so I'll stick around as long as it keeps me entertained.

I just think it's cool, lol. It's not that great, but it's standard for every NTR, which doesn't focus on story but on fun.I personally don't agree that the story is good because I can't overlook all the issues with character development, forced pacing, and plot holes.

A frame story... is a way to avoid problems with plot development, you always as a author know where you going, and to avoid fans nitpicking the fucking end because they already knew about it.
I also have a similar mindset. I understand not everyone knows about the 2 endings that Fujino mentioned, but also like if the genre is NTR it's probably best to go in with the mindset that it ends with a typical NTR ending. While there are some games that allow the player to get a different ending, we can at least assume that this one is like 99.9% just going to be a normal corruption NTR ending. After all, it's been like this for almost 2 years worth of development. It would be really weird to suddenly go back on it, but also that it would just further derail kind of everything that was going on. My assumption on games where there is a possible happy ending are games that intentionally convey that by the author, or the game mechanics shown in the game.
Another thing that was discussed is that people were thinking that the endings would be less like "routes" and just more like endings. So the main pivotal moment would be at the literal end. But as King mentioned, your prurience stat would probably be the indicator on whether you're given the option to go on the "happy cuck ending". It's not really meant to be much deeper than that I imagine though.
I agree that the story is aight. It's nothing crazy to think it's a novel, but it gets you from point A to point B in a relatively decent manner. Like sure someone can point out plot holes or the lack of canon consistency, but the game is indeed a parody, and also decently believable. A lot of points are usually nit-picky with a much higher standard in terms of story writing. But anyways, when I mention it gets you from point A to point B, it's like how people don't like the reason for Asuna finally "falling" in the most recent update. Some might say it's cliche, or call her a hypocrite. But it's at least believable enough within NTR/Hentai logic why she's nuts, considering you go in with the general assumption that the NTR heroine has a number of screws loose to be capable of being corrupted to begin with.
I kind of agree that if this wasn't SAO, it wouldn't be as popular as it would be. Asuna is a pretty popular character to NTR after all. The SAO title definitely made me look at the game, but the part that made me super excited/stay was the combat sex rofl.
Yeah, very believable if literally every character in the game is involved in making the 'fall' happen!
The thing i think people didin't like was the fake Kirito scene as trigger, if you think about it that was unnecessary, the way Inoda manipulate her about her putting to much pressure in Kirito and his performance issues was enough.
Let's face it 4 Inoda need all the help he can get and then some, even in Fujino universe that guy never would pull that off without helpYeah, very believable if literally every character in the game is involved in making the 'fall' happen!
I mean if you really think about it, that's kind of what happens in a lot of NTRs to begin with. The entire world is against the MC because that's kind of the whole point of the story. On a more technical/nit-picky aspect though, our viewpoint of the whole situation is more bias and omniscient to the whole thing. Like everything going from Kirito and Asuna's current perspectives, the only people seemingly causing Asuna's fall is just Inoda and Liz. Suguha, Alice, Klein, and council's interaction is something the characters have zero clue as to what's going on. And sure it's really "convenient" that everyone acts in a certain way to all coincide with making Asuna fall, but it is what it is.Yeah, very believable if literally every character in the game is involved in making the 'fall' happen!
The pressure statement from Inoda wouldn't have been enough to convince Asuna. Inoda could have mentioned the small penis, and pressure stuff about Kirito, but Asuna would have probably took that as a sign to talk to Kirito and reconcile their relationship. What's important is that Asuna is distraught and significantly vulnerable by believing that Kirito is banging a girl in the underground. The scene she sees is what makes Inoda's story even more believable to her, and it also makes her less resistant to his advances to get her to the point of having virtual sex. A lot of the virtual sex is Inoda taking advantage of her extremely confused mind/state, and manipulating the kind of conclusion she'll get to from the circumstances surrounding her situation.
