No, it is because they've been stressing out Ifuma is a danger and has to go (and that MC needs more qi) for a while now... he had the opportunity and didn't do shit about either. IMO it's a writing mistake to have them have a confrontation of that magnitude and not resolve it just because the story ain't over yet and the plot still needs Ifuma... if that is the case, then maybe do things differently. It was clumsy... specially since it's not the first time Ifuma's been almost destroyed.

Also, and btw, the MC is supposed to be smart... again, it was a brilliant move to bring him to the urentende... then his IQ does a 180 all of a sudden... that's clumsy writing.
MC is an average dude.* Where exactly is it implied MC is smarter than the average bear? He's had several situations - especially in recent episodes as his myriad relationships intertwine and his situation gets more complicated and serious - that he hasn't handled in the smartest way, or has in such a way as was easy to second-guess with hindsight. Like most of us average humans do.

*(With a big dick. That really seems to be the most above-average feature he possesses.)

Excuses... he teleported them both in there, he could've teleported them out of there when he saw Ifuma's brain go jell-o, and then suck all his qi, even if he didn't want to "kill" him (which that fall probably would've, and he already killed the other old dude anyways... and an entende depending on your choices).

Sorry, but that was just bad writing... that was horror movie dumbfuckery levels of bad writing. Teleporting him to the urentende was brilliant... then he just went stupid... like wtf... :WaitWhat:
Then we disagree, which is fine.

The MC is not a murderous psychopath and he still holds on to some of the morality of the old world, so yeah - bringing Ifuma back to his place and bashing his head in with the frying pan after the UrEntende mind melt did not occur to him....

He did not lure Ifuma to his sanctuary, Selene rushed to tell him about Ifuma's invasion of his sanctuary, and he went in and defended the two women that Ifuma was attacking - an instinctive reaction that Is in his character.

He did not even think to use his sanctuary status to his benefit until he attacked Ifuma physically and Ifuma knocked him down.


I see the MC as someone who is fighting to keep his sanity and purpose in mind, all while having nightmares about the first visit to the UrEntende and trying to find a way to help different women he has feelings for say goodbye to The Interim Domain.

He knew how badly his first visit to the UrEntende messed with his mind and he had to take the chance that it would do the same with Ifuma even If it messed with the MC's mind as well.

Do we know how badly the second visit to the UrEntende impacts the MC - No, since the rev effectively ended on this note.

Now, you can assume that the MC is an idiot and that this is bad writing without knowing what happens to him next.

I'm not making that assumption.

In the end, we just view the MC and the story differently - not too unusual since people have viewed stories from different perspectives since there Were stories...


Cheers!! :coffee:

smart =/= genius...

I'm just saying he doesn't seem to be "blonde teenager in a slasher pic" levels of dumb.
This is an age old disagreement that psychologists have tried to pin down: What is Smart? What is genius? I mean they have IQ tests. Genius is like 130 IQ, which means less than 3% of all people on the planet are a genius. If you want to learn more.

No living creature on the face of this planet is "blond teenager in a slasher pic" level of dumb.

The Interim Domain 0.25.0 update #1



1714430863994.png


Let's do this. 0.25.0 is well into development and we're working on moving many of our stories towards their coming end. As mentioned before, we're going to start wrapping up a lot of things over the next few updates so we got to start moving things along narrative-wise.

In store for this release:

  • After Kaitlin's graduation, we get one last big outing.
  • While Kara and Marisa don't have new stories, their combo scene addresses some underlying threads from both girls' stories.
  • Natalie fans are in for a treat. She gets two story scenes this time around, with #3 setting up the bigger moment in #4.
  • Apollyon fans (if they've seen everything so far) will get a little outing with her
And how about that ending? Don't let your guard down, because Michael and friends wouldn't be that lucky, would they?

Thanks for your patronage and interest,
-Kinderfeld
