without kara alive (and recruited in the palace staff) you cannot have the "breaking up" scene between orcent and lucyUnless you get Kara killed. Then she isn't that good of a match.

Art is coming, but until then it's all text based.A bit unusual to not have a single sex scene to show the art. Are they any good?
I personally dont play this game for the sex scenes simply because this game does not need them to be good. The writing, story and worldbuilding is far better than most AAA rpgs I have played. It starts of simple but it evolves into so much more. Do yourself a favor and try it out it is really good.A bit unusual to not have a single sex scene to show the art. Are they any good?
The sex part of the game is honestly secondary to the story. As mentioned the scenes are text based for now and quite good with a good sense of the personality of the people involved. Honestly if you haven't played I highly suggest come in with the idea of wanting to play a great game rather than something you can jerk off to. Hell if they removed the sex scenes the game would still be 4 to 4.5 stars in my opinion.A bit unusual to not have a single sex scene to show the art. Are they any good?
I duno how you reached the conclusions you have. TLS constantly does subvert the chosen-one trope. Simon keeps winning through a combination of dirty tactics and having the right kinds of people working for him... not because the gods chose him (in fact, many of the gods oppose him). And Simon doesn't have many talents at all. I have no idea why you think he does. He's naturally a standup guy who does right by the people around him and... he swings a sword pretty good... and getting the shard made him a god in bed. That's it. Everything else is the tallents of the people he collects as a result of being a standup guy... not his own. Orcent in the the strategist. Megail the business woman. His daughter the expert on magic. The Queen and Sari are the politicians. Etc etc. And the only NPC in the early game that's like you describe is the Incubus Emperor. His second in command, Iris, is actually an extremely talented administrator who really does care about the succubi and orcs under her command and does a good job of organizing them against the MC and his allies... and the Incubus Emperor's idiocy actually ends up costing them the war because he undermines Iris right when she's about to win... and it lets the "good guys" turn the tables. And then there's the Fuck Lord who is exactly like you describe and that also ends up being his undoing. But there's also the Lustlord, The Empress, and the likely final boss of the game... The Anak. All of which are quite collected and composed and considerably more dangerous for it.So I just finished the gathering where you play as the succubus and Orcent, I'm not sure what percentage I am into the game at this point, but I was just wondering if it gets any less.... linear? Like, I'm not expecting Dragon Age level of story branching or character choices, but I very much feel that this is too linear of a game and often feel forced to play a character I don't necessarily want to play, making decisions I don't necessarily agree with. Honestly, I have a lot that I don't like about Simon (*huge rant below), but my main gripe is that he doesn't come off as very "Sovereign" to me, I'm honestly given the impression that he's manipulated into about 75% of the things he does by the succubus, while somehow making it seem as if it was his plan all along (which reminds me of a certain skeleton...)
Hell, even if I could get a bit more choice in as far as who I can party with and what sort of allies I get to align myself with would be good. I think I saw a small glimpse of that later on in the game where you had the option of recruiting a violent psychopathic orc (I think it was called butcher or something) into your party, or to kill him, but haven't seen to much more of that since.
*** RANT ***
I'm also getting a lot of Gerry Stue vibes from him early on, he's got god-like intelligence and somehow good at basically everything he does, be it politics, economics, warfare, you name it, he's got some form of crazy insight or machiavellian scheme. He doesn't really seem to have to work for very much of anything, or even need to delegate to others all that often (with some exceptions when it comes to say Robin). Looking through history, there is the rare individual like this, e.g. Cesere Borgia, Napolean, etc., but to me it doesn't make sense how Simon, with all of these qualities, never rose above the position of a mere middle aged... what was he supposed to be? Trainer? Mercenary for hire? Babysitter? Working for a pittance for a morally and theologically vague religion of some sort, babysitting some dude who is a lot stronger then you, more sadistic and dangerous then the enemies that you are supposed to be fighting, and has the mental capacity of a 5 year old. Why? Also what in the fuck is that religion supposed to be about? It sure isn't about chastity or purity or some shit, they're literally raping a succubus right next door to their place or worship, like, how are they any different then the demon lord dude?
Now back to Simom, so suddenly one day he is conveniently granted the god like power to be a good lay in bed, and only then does he decide to use his masterful talents? Sorry, I just don't find that very realistic, especially considering most of the NPCs in this world are basically retards who can't seem to stop fucking eachother for five minutes. Frankly, I think this would have been a more believable story if instead of being granted incubus powers, Simon was that rare individual in this world that finally manages to abstain from the degenerate pleasures of getting fucked in the ass by an orc or getting your russle jimmied by a succubs, and goes on a 100 no-fap streak to unlock his hidden potential of not being a fuck-brained cum guzzling semen demon. But no, instead, in order escape the fuckening in the world where clearly most of the problems are caused by people fucking, you must be the biggest fucker who ever fucked and slay all the puss.
My initial impression of the synopsis was that the main character would be subverting the tropes and the system at large, not becoming a bigger cog in it. While this is still a fun game in it's own right, it has not quite met my expectations thus far. I don't really what I was really expecting more from a smut game.
It doesn't sound like he played much into the game. Maybe an hour at most. I doubt he even got to the point of the first big battle.I duno how you reached the conclusions you have.

I mean... It's like you played a completely different game. Cause your description of the facts of the game don't line up with the actual facts of the game... never mind anyone's opinion about it.
While the game is linear - beat the boss, win the battles, win the wars, conclude the summits, etc. - the world you're shaping varies greatly, based on your actions. Is the country you conquered/saved devastated or relatively unscathed? Can you manipulate events so the next ruler is your preferred choice or someone incompetent? Does the religion go into schism or learn to accept other races? Even using the wiki, the choices you make usually have trade-offs, so it's not a simple matter to get the optimal results. In my opinion, that's the ultimate trope the developer is subverting. Making the world a better place isn't as simple as Hero Beats All the Bad Guys and Fucks All the Women, Everyone Lives Happily Ever After.So I just finished the gathering where you play as the succubus and Orcent, I'm not sure what percentage I am into the game at this point, but I was just wondering if it gets any less.... linear?

The poster did mention that they've played to the point of Orcent and Yarra at the Gathering, so the Battle of Yhilin's not started yet.It doesn't sound like he played much into the game. Maybe an hour at most. I doubt he even got to the point of the first big battle.
Plenty of comments made already, but with slight spoiler some insight on one of your points above on why Simon never did anything with his life before. His history basically goes, war came when he was fifteen, spent his entire well over two decades and based on Sarai's description did do an incredible amount of good work, but with it came people dying under his 'command' including his wife.So I just finished the gathering where you play as the succubus and Orcent, I'm not sure what percentage I am into the game at this point, but I was just wondering if it gets any less.... linear?

I said it before, and I'll say it again:I don't care for text-based game cause like most people kinda just wanna beat my meat and move along right well as I progress more and more with the game and read the dialogue I was surprisingly entertained by it to make a long comment short give it a try it was really entertaining and quite interesting that it held my attention without any smut
This and Sengoku Rance (and the other two similar Alice Soft games) are the only games I felt that way about through Rance was more due to the gameplay while this one is through the story.I said it before, and I'll say it again:
