Did not like this update, one bit. Everything to do with Kiki in this update, soured the game's generally light-hearted tone for me. Serving some supporters' requests for "dark content", has come at the cost of MC and Kiki's character consistency. MC's actions and in-action felt very out of place this update, in comparison to the whole game. And Kiki who started out as an innocent and timid looking damsel in distress, ended up as the biggest slut of the game, without any input or choice from the MC or player. Makes me wish I left her town bicycle ass in England.
Look, I get it, even though it may be a passion, if it helps to keep the lights on and your tummy full, you have to do whatever makes your supporters happy (to an extent). But it shouldn't come at the cost of your creative integrity; because that's when you start to lose your way, and betray expectations that you've built up over time, and eventually lose support (which doesn't happen as often as it should (looking at the milkiest devs out there)), which leads to other things. This issue here is only pertinent to a single side character, so it's not as serious. But if the tone and characters were abruptly changed to serve some niche fetish or content once, then it certainly does have a higher chance of happening again; and the people seeing such content will ask, want and expect more, which only puts the dev in a more difficult spot, until they eventually give in or give up.
I'm not saying this "dark content" shouldn't have been included, rather it should have been done tastefully (as much as can be, given the subject) and appropriately enough. Meaning, players should have had a choice in wanting to hear her sordid backstory, and this type of content should have been relegated to one of her 3 routes. Much like her vagina, Kiki's character has become a sloppy mess now, and the MC has also been changed to accommodate that, in a most abrupt fashion. I only hope this is a one time lapse in the dev's judgement and writing calbire, and any future fetish that may be added, be done so in a manner that is fitting to the narrative and its characters.
