I’m not too worried about the protagonist; Bradley was a douche, yes, but then we got Henry and William, so it’s likely NLT got feedback on that front and chose to steer away from overly unsympathetic male leads. Perhaps Bradley will play a small part in the upcoming narrative, like Henry did in
The Genesis Order, but I think the new game is more likely to focus on William again, or a new character.
My main gripe with continuing this series is that it’s starting to get a little formulaic.
Treasure of Nadia had a lot of the same tropes as
Lust Epidemic, but since the focus was so different (four main love interests vs. twelve), it still had a certain novelty to it; but
The Genesis Order rehashed a
lot of what
Treasure of Nadia did: Heather takes over Janet’s role as the definitely-not-a-mother figure, Chloe is as Kaley in the role of definitely-not-a-sister-figure (who has trouble coming to terms with her sexuality), Hannah is more or less Alia with a bit of Tasha mixed in, Nellie is Claire, Kimura is Naomi, Judy is just Katherine from
Lust Epidemic, etc., etc.
I don’t know if starting a new series (or just a standalone game) would encourage NLT to break away from recreating the same characters over and over, but at least it might lead to some more creativity regarding the setting and plot.
Things I am not looking forward to seeing in the new game:
- Every sex scene ending in someone walking in them, to everyone’s embarrassment. For the love of God.
- Villains swooping in to swipe the MacGuffin from the protagonists’ hands just after they’ve gone to great lengths to acquire it. It’s 2023 and people are still doing this?
- Having to backtrack from the room at the far end of the labyrinth thirty floors underground to that one tower room on the fiftieth floor aboveground three times per plot event.
Anyway, I hope there’ll be a couple pregnancies featured in the upcoming content. Judy is confirmed, Hannah maybe (pleasepleaseplease), but I’d also like to see: Nellie (make Tasha a baby sister, heh), as well as Lillian and Arianna (those succubi were hawt, let me make more), and everyone else too, but Hannah and those three especially. Speaking of succubi, I wonder what happened with them …
