Edit: Dev -> "Shes MC fuck buddy", "she is the town slut", "all characters have their presonalities", "essential", "its not JUST a Harem game" etc etc.
So, the usual "it's technically not... cause of (stupid) reasons" bullshit again, shocker.
And how can he say it's not a harem game when there's a big ass harem tag and netori in the story that attracted most ppl ??
It's not weird he gets hot chicks when he was the guy controlling the entire black market trade. You'd be surprised how easily women will trade sex for things they think they need/want, especially in a 'decade-long quarantine' with no outside food or drink.
Yeah, but it's a completely stupid idea. I get the part about bitches being horny asf and wanting to party, which means drugs, booze and lots of fucking, of course, but no food and drinks ?? Da fuck kinda freaky ass quarantine was that ?? A damn zombie apocalypse quarantine or what ??
Cuz IMO, for a simple covid shit, it's exaggerated, AND only having one local 'dealer' is just as far-fetched as that cuz ppl would be doing a lot of fucked up shit to sell their stuff and put the other guy(s) out of business. The MC could've been a dealer for 'the plot' too, especially a dick dealer, so we wouldn't be having to see NPCs bang attractive women. Just sayin'.
My biggest issue is with the MC though. We're told we get to make choices and decide who he is, but the decade gap between the very start and when the story picks up seems to have already decided a huge amount of what kind of person he is, who he's been with, how he acts, etc.
We might be able to decide who he is going to be, moving forward, but too much of who has has been for the last decade is already established.
That decade of a gap would have been a great thing to include in the story. Snippets of it could have played out, from the decade we were there, to help us get to know the other characters, and to make choices for ourselves who MC was during that time, to allow us to make him who we want him to be, moving forward.
Exactly this, but there are other problems too, not just the ones you mentioned. The decade-long gap and the title of the game don't make sense. You'd think you had control over the MC's actions, interactions with other characters and growth as a mature person during all this time, but the whole college part of the story ends as quickly as it begins when it had so much potential for fuckery, romance, character development, and all the good stuff needed for a story, but no, the dev just said fuck it and ended everything to give us the usual incest premise we've only played a few million times already.
I half-expect to see the MC become our usual average incest porn game wimp and momma's boi bullied by his bitchy older sister and resented by his lil sister for not talking to her all this time, a wimp like the MC from The Falling.
