Now this I could get behind. I don't know if the developer actively reads the thread but I think you are onto something. MC should start molding himself into either a true conqueror with a clear set of goal and become a bit more stoic. Or go full trickster Machiavellian route. He does come off as weak pretty often. It is understandable at the beginning but it can be irritating as the game progress.
THAT BEING SAID,
Do not even for a second think that there aren't a horde of simps chugging their soylent green and read this thread. They would not give a damn about quality if MC would go on a monologue about how women are qweens and he is doing this because -spew some pseudo-moral shit to justify his actions-. Do not delude yourself into thinking they care about grooming, cheating, fornication etc. They just want a green-lit scenario so they can get off without breaking their fucked up moral code. Literally how they operate irl as well. "Dude i was so drunk I did X. You know I would never do that otherwise, haha!"
You can see how the games on this site make you either play as the literal cuckold or the beta simp that somehow has a harem. I appreciate that some games at least let you play as an unapologetic apex-predator. But you are right the MC as it is lacking in that area. I just hope that if the developer decides to make a change he does so without turning MC into a simp.
It would be believable if the mc didn't look or act like a child.
The guy made a good point about vae victis. Dude not only is a badass but he looks and plays the part.
you can either have him ruthless or level ground which I do think this game miss.
I also don't think the whole point of this game is about him bleeding masculinity.
you can be an apex predator and not be a creep who only cares about getting his dick wet or seeing the girls only as a piece of meat.
I just don't see how it fits this guy who don't look or act the part. Compare him to the mc from vae.
also him caring about the girls don't make him a simp, he can care and not act like they are living fuck dolls.
He is also weak in his normal form which him even trying to act like some big alpha is just comedy.
hell he can't even stand up to tamara and everyone treats him like a kid.
I do think a major CHARACTER development need to be here in terms of both not acting like a creep, not being just an asshole, or a simp.
it's ways to have a level ground. also this game has a romance tag so I don't think the game is all about the mc being some mega alpha apex. He can be both and don't also take shit. Balance is key.
It's not about masculinity or having a moral code, it's about CHARACTER and this one is FLAWED.
I also hate simp "MUH LADY" type main characters and no one is asking for that.
I personally not a huge fan of the mc because he is not only just a creep, but an idiot LOL.
Can he develop into a real alpha? it's to be seen.
being alpha isn't about being a cutt throat ass wipe either.
