I think this was way too early.

I kinda felt disappointed by that early reveal.

But anything else is really good so far.
Actually, it's very likely that there are a lot of surprises still to come in the story. A reveal like this is very possibly a red herring. (That doesn't mean what Cordia said isn't true. As you've already seen now, @HopesGaming has said they aren't related.) It's common in stories — especially in thrillers and mysteries — to tell the reader (player, in our case) something that seems to indicate one thing but it turns out completely different. I would guess what we think we know at this point is very much wrong and the "reveal" by Cordia (about the Serpent) didn't tell us as much as it may seem.

I have no problem with reveals and not with this specifically. My problem was it was too early. The moment the MC developed the theory Cordia being his mom, the same moment Cordia revealed she's not. I would have liked to play around with this thought, at least for a bit or one round/scene (game mechanic -> "follow the story"). Thinking about this, it's not really about the reveal itself and its consequences but about the time developing the thought by the MC and the reveal by Cordia.

Seems you're looking for the "lingering moment" that can come between the initial "I wonder..." and the eventual revelation / confirmation.

Normally, I agree. I want to wrestle with the "maybe, maybe not" for a bit (especially when there's a mystery involved) but in this case, I'm in a similar mind as @CookieMonster666. It seems that this valuable information is probably going to be a basis for either a story arc or a clue towards the real identity of the MC's dad.

wy cant Cordia fight lead and kill and still be a love interest
Because thats what basically happened in almost all other adult games.

This game is awesome only because it's unique . If Cordia becomes a LI then it breaks alot of the uniqueness and turns this game into a cliché " dude bangs all the chicks trope" all adult games are like this but at least this one can be different. Besides it's only one woman

Ok, let me see if I can add a little depth to the "Cordia as a love interest" side of the debate...

@HopesGaming has stated (and he can correct me if I'm mistaken) Cordia could possibly (eventually) become a love interest for the MC very late in the game. As you stated, she's the head of the family and not one to be trifled with. That being said, however, if the MC were to rise through the ranks high enough and show he's more than competent to lead the family (or just be romantically involved with the head of the family) then why would she be forced to be excluded as a possible "Love Interest"?

Basically, I see Cordia as the finest carrot on a really long stick. If I wanted her, then it would be a major uphill battle to get her.

(I'm expecting more than a few "long stick / dick" jokes in the replies... If they don't happen, I'll be more than a little disappointed in you f95'ers. LOL!).
I won't hate it but I'll be disappointed. I'll think like " oh well this game is the usual guy bangs every girl like all other adult games" this game is awesome because it's unique. Banging every woman cuts of some of its speciality.

I'm not a native speaker, so I cannot fully grasp what a 'lingering moment' is, but the way you described it, it seems it's exactly what I meant. All I am saying is it would not have hurt to stretch the time between initial and reveal a bit.

We are going to get to bang Cordia, we're just not going to be able to romance her.

A "lingering moment" is what happens when time feels like it slows down or stops. In actuality, it doesnt, of course. But, it's typically based on a physical stimulus; falling down stairs, car accident, etc. which triggers an emotional sensation. In works of creativity, story, music, game or movie as examples; it can happen as well but it's much harder to have that emotional impression on the viewer.

I agree, having that emotional moment last could have been a fun red herring for the Dev to dangle in front of us a bit longer. But, he didn't want us to become too entangled in that option considering his already (well documented) stance on "no blood relationships / incest" in the game. So, I can easily understand why it was addressed as quickly as it was.

Sorry, but I don't agree, what makes this game so good isn't the fact that you don't sleep with every women in the story, but the story itself, if the plot is good and nicely brought then the game will be good. I would personally like if we could get the opportunity to romance Cordia, and I don't think it would take anything from the game

all is done in question mark. and stlli cant move on to another level, tasks.. whatever..
You should have repeatable missions (given by Wilfred), but if you've completed all of the Events, there's otherwise not really anything else to do. Keep in mind that, at least in large part, you advance in ability as you progress the storyline. "What rank of contract you are able to take", the game states, "depends on what your rank and level are". So, for instance, one event was "Promotion", which ranks you up, allowing you to take higher contracts. Getting promoted, though, also forwards the storyline, which in turn is limited overall by the current version of the game.

So, if you've hit the end of events, you've hit the end of the current storyline and the limit on level of contracts you can take and how far relationships of the MC with other NPCs can progress.
