I know I'm in the minority but I'm completely fine with the punishment system as it is rn. I guess I rather the story keeps developing.
OTK spankings are quite appealling and the animations of them are really well done, so... I absolutely hve no problems with them, in fact I'm looking forward for Miss Potts landing on the headmaster's lap. (Samantha too if possible)
As i said, i am not into spanking or dom, i enjoy stories the most...
But, the punishment system here seems to be tied with the story. Aka, you can't advance further with girls (students mostly).
If you do not break their barrier with it. Also, i don't think you're the minority, you're probably the majority.
I just feel that with some characters, without the punishment system you're stuck in advancing further in their story.
