I get the Arato hate and I say that. Arato is by far the most shallow written character I've seen in a long time, bro had the personality of a Reddit mod or a F95 member. I'm sure the developer was frustrated to no end writing so his personality doesn't become inconsistent considering Arato is written in the worst way possible by design as hes being the generic asshole/bully fuck.
Bros so bland and boring that people saying that hes a realistic character turns into a self report get a better personality or play more games. No woman wants to fuck someone like you unless shes your mom or shes sleeping get your generic ass personality out of this place
I generally try not to post here when an update leaks out, but just to avoid misinformation, I'm here to clarify that v 0.5.17 was indeed the conclusion of the Arato Route, at least when it comes to the main content. I may still add some short scenes to fill in a few blanks, but the bulk of my efforts will be put into the Kendo Route until it ends.
Nice to see, lets see how far you can take his personality.
Hopefully you haven't forgotten about Satoshis route my guy

if written correctly bros gonna have the biggest redemption arc in all of porn VN-dome and Kendo really needs a son figure and someone he actually needs to work himself for because Kendos problem is that hes simply just alone and doesn't have family.
The part where Satoshi fucked Mary out of sheer love instead of lust proves that he could easily be a chad of the series and easily be able to compete with the others if given the chance. If he gets more stamina and technique then hes to the very least above Arato in terms of sexual prowess. I get how you established Arato, hes written intentionally to never go outside his own comfort zone and only do things through being egocentric means.
Compare that to Kendo, who is written to only do things because of his childish mid-life crisis shit and self finding. And truth be told, he only been doing the NTR shit to find where his heart belongs to, which already makes him very likeable. All the shit you've established till this point leads to a brilliant written endings regardless so godspeed my guy.
