I get the comic thing. He's a bit silly and immature at times. I can get by that without too much effort, although I hope it doesn't get any worse.
But guys...no one mentions the scene when a woman with a contemporary hair cut in a contemporary red, knit, cocktail dress, sporting contemporary, banded, high-heel pumps struts through a medieval town like she owns it.....LOL. Someone isn't being very detail oriented.

Easy, it's her day off.
What, you expect them to dress up in Ye Olde Mediæval gear all the time? This is clearly just some reenactment society that's got mixed up with the local Vampire LARP group.
I see MC has been taking lessons from Thor in Love & Thunder.
Sadly, I fucking hate it.
Goes doubly for screaming goats/birds. Thankfully, I have VN volume at minimum so barely even noticed it.
I liked this VN when it had semi-serious approach with some goofiness, but last 2 updates MC has been nothing short of a clown and an idiot.
His friend was comedic relief, now MC has taken over that role.
Definitely not liking that approach.

Theres a literal scene where they are hiding from a guard. He farts and it smells so bad the guard cant see and then he throws a pie into the guards face.
Its pure slapstick nonsensical at this point. I get a little bit of humor sprinkled in, but it seriously feels like a completely different person wrote the first few updates compared to what we are getting now.

Sadly i agree mostly.
I disagree about the sexy anticipation, im glad that we didnt had 20 tightjobs/boobsjobs/handjobs/whateverjobs before they had real sex, these always feel nonsensical to me. Has anyone ever had a girl give you a tightjob before you had normal sex lol?
But it kinda really lacked romance anticipation and the scene itself lacked any kind of romance too, it felt more like "yo bro, lets fuck" and "yeah, nice we finally did it" than star-crossed lovers having their first time lol. It was just so .. hyper casual? Didnt really fit their bond and feelings for each other imo. A scene like this would have worked with a lot of characters in the story, but not with Lyra.
The animation itself was .. strange? Like there were a few really good parts and the rest was some kind of strange slow-motion.
But its still a great and fun avn if you dont take anything to seriously

I shouldn't have said "sexy moments" but you have to agree that there were barely any moments between them to build the anticipation and these moments don't have to be sexual.
They always acted like friends. Their whole interaction since the starting of the game lacked romance. Even that sex scene was very friendly. That kiss in the previous update came out of nowhere. They never confessed AFAIK.
Even though I'm not a fan of taking small steps, it makes sense for a virgin to not go all the way the first time and that's why progression with talitha felt great because she's virgin. MC and talitha were still very romantic with all those cuddling and petting. How many times did Lyra and MC cuddle? How many things did Lyra did before to show Interest in MC? Why the progress with Lyra was so quick? Maybe because Lyra wasn't a virgin but then a build up is necessary even if the LIs ain't virgins.
I thought she was a virgin which makes the whole thing even more quick for me.
Yeah i just disagreed about the more sexual encounters beforehand (and it wasn’t even clear that you talked about lewds) otherwise I’m completly agreeing with you.
And in medieval times and living in a small village I would have thought that she’s a virgin too.
If she had a bf in this village, we would have probably met him? But who knows

The ending being abrupt is due to CC cutting out the final section of the update.
*Emphasis added by me*CaramelCowboy said:
There are several posts talking about the humor, but you two add unique feedback to the conversation that I'm picking out for a general response:
The direction the story will eventually go is both dark and gritty. CC has given us a taste of what's to come with an early scene in which Amaris snaps the neck of some innocent girl (that scene still causes me physical pain...). Additionally, it may be intended as a visual indication of MC's character growth, especially once the risk of actually losing companions becomes real.
I don't want to draw away from this awesome project by bringing up another, but ClassyLemon is a perfect parallel due to how similar both of their writing styles are. In CL's case, he slowly shifted the tone of the story away from non-stop humor/jokes to dealing with some rather gritty topics (i.e. killing of an LI's family, having two LIs dealing with drug problems, tribal slaughtering).
Personally, I enjoy an ample amount of humor being woven into the narrative of a story. I get to experience dark/grittiness on a daily basis just by living

The last chapter actually reveals that it's really a serious story and that the MC isn't a clown at all: the entire story is taking place in a deep AI simulation and all the farts were actually hacking attempts by the MC's subconscious mind.
The jokes, as such, wouldn't be a problem. You've mentioned CL yourself, so I will use that as minor comparison.There are several posts talking about the humor, but you two add unique feedback to the conversation that I'm picking out for a general response:

While MC might act a bit silly at times in CLs game, he is mostly taking things seriously.
Faced with silly situation, he acts goofy and non-seriously (hunt for snacks for example). Meanwhile, during the other situations (and excluding player dialogue choices), he is relaxed and casual, but not a buffoon. Granted, that VN is also waaay tonally different to this one, and much, much, MUCH darker, so bit of laughter and goofiness goes a long way to stop it from being too dark and outright cruel (which it sometimes feels like, and I love it for it).
Last 2 updates here, and why I am for the first time complaining, MC has been total buffoon here. He acts not silly, but childish. Take the very first scene of this update, taking a quest. He's being a moron. Not even funny one, just a moron. Hunting dragon, rescuing a princess, it is what his friend would have brought up in previous updates, not MC.
Funny scene I did like was cat rescue. Acting like a silly goof on something so minor is a-ok.
Reason why I used Love&Thunder comparison is because that is exactly how last 2 updates felt for me. Non-stop slapstick humor with no end goal except "isn't this funny, see how funny it is, laugh now, here's more funny, laugh, this is funny, let's laugh again, more funny".
It's humor dialed to 20, for whatever reason. It felt nothing like previous updates and made me not laugh, but just roll my eyes and hate reading whatever is on screen (laugh scene, obviously, there is nothing else). All that was missing was laugh track every 5 lines of dialogue.
If the whole VN so far was like this, I probably would have dropped it after 2nd update and we wouldn't be having this conversation. But it wasn't, so the massive change in approach to how it's written just seems strange to me.

I personally see the increase in humor as a warning sign for what's to come. Depending on the impact of scene, some of the better writers will prepare the audience for the tonal shift through the use of humor, romance, or general lighthearted interactions. Since CC is leaning heavily into the humor, it could mean that whatever is coming next might genuinely break some of the audience.
I could always be wrong in my prediction though. I'm just hoping I'm not in this case since I genuinely like a majority of the cast.

sex scene felt kinda weird, no dialogues, rather minimal emotions, just a robotic "bang" and go to sleep
Great story with a lot of potential and great renders.
Interplay between characters is funny and heartfelt.
Well done dev!!!
Keep it up as I'm looking forward to the next installment.

slick97 ; good point, the roughly outlined story arc, has enough Dramatic potential, with the Vampire story background, and if we pay attention to the published story, there are quite dramatic moments, As the duell Nevaeha vs the Kraid, or the scenes in the Vampire hideout, the memory flash with the elder Elf, or when some Side characters tell their story like Leilana's scene
