MC gets more normal, there is although a bit a different humor sense, and a few slapstick worthy intermezzos, which in my opinion don't rest, to the entertainment factor of the game, the fact that MC is very unexpiereced with women is not so clear shown, and may misslead at the begining.

Just started playing.... does the MC get's less awkward and more bold with the girls? It's a bit annoying to see him getting flustered over nothing.
The MC starts as a complete doofus and builds until he is just a part-time doofus. ;) It does get better as it goes along (but there is still some cringe or humerus moments, however you take them). :)

Eh, well...i mean, he still behaves like a complete clown.
Personaly i have no problem with that in general, i do think it's over done in this game thought, it's hard to take them or the story serious if they behave 90% of the time like clowns. Also it's a bit too much to find it really funny imo.

not sure what the comedy is like in the last two 2 chapters but I honestly found this one of the few AVN's I found hilarious. At least I laughed at it more than most comedy in other AVN's but I never stopped to think about how it takes away from the serious tone probably cause I liked it in the moment and rarely think beyond the moment in these games.

Ouch... I can't stand AVNs with too much humor. I mean, the story itself seems quite serious (vampires, war, etc) ruining that with a clown MC is a bit disappointing..... I hoped that after starting training at least the MC would've become somewhat a serious badass.

Okay, so question.. what's the content situation in v0.8 and v0.9? I let it marinate a little since v0.7, but the changelog doesn't have ANY info in it regarding the content or notes n shit..

Can one of y'all maybe lemme know whether it's worth downloading rn? Would seriously appreciate it (y) :)

Not really tbh. I mean there is a bit o a progress in the story (whether in good direction it's up to the debate) but nothing to write home about. After this update I'll probably just wait till the whole season is on Steam.

The story hasn't progressed much but there is a lot of content.

Oh boy, if you're near the start (first few chapters) and think MC is too much of a clown, I'm giving you serious PSA: Stop now.
Previous 2 chapters (bit less in last one) MC is all-around clown. Comedy was dialed to 11.

Quite frankly, while I do find story enjoyable, I can't take any of it seriously. As in, anything whatsoever. There was "big reveal" at the end of previous chapter/start of this one, and all I could think of was "yeah, yeah, how long before they start shagging?".
Even when game tries to build suspense, I feel none because there is no lead to suspense.

And considering MCs development, I have no idea how in blue hells he will fight main bad guy in next 10 years. With farts and burps?

I've already canceled the game.
In my opinion, too much comedy means only one thing: the dev doesn't know how to make a good story.

I think this is unfair. Many of the devs are amateur writers, and many of the games show it in any genre. And, certainly, they will not all line up with everyone's taste. But, there are some games that have both a good story and comedy. Even if you don't like the story or the humor, like Leap of Faith for me, games can objectively be written with humor and a well written story.

I've been reading these comments about the comedy and find too many people trying to use their personal preference to make "rules" for it. There are plenty of people that make jokes to diffuse drama and tension. There are people that use sarcasm to show love and bond with people. But, there are people that will also find those inoppropriate and mean.

So, some don't find this game funny. Some think jokes don't fit in this style of story. That doesn't mean that people who do are wrong. Nor does it mean it can't be part of a well written story. It's just not to everyone's liking, which is also perfectly fine.

I don't mind humor and everyone finds different things funny or cringe. For me, it's the MC is so juvenile and I constantly find myself yelling at him to grow up, he's got to save the world or everyone's screwed. But I do enjoy the game, not complaining, it's just something I find frustrating.

I get what you mean, but, in this specific AVN, for example, the general line is that the MC is the Swordbearer, he is supposed to save the world from demise, and while some jokes every once in a while might be good to "lessen the burden on his shoulders", in the end if the MC is a full clown every minute, I wouldn't trust him with my dog, let alone the fate of the world.
To make a comparison, Eminence in the Shadow is the same, a stunning anime with a very intrigueing story, ruined by the fact that Cid is batshit creazy and thinks that even the enemies are roleplaying with him.

Yeah, I have similar issues. Honestly, I rarely even look at new games with the big dick baby boy characters anymore. I've got lots of others to choose from. But, magic, and a few other tags, can still get me to take a look sometimes.

My two cents: I don't know how my "reading ability" compares to others but from the ending of the last update to the resolution of the Cliffhanger the thoughts going through my head were "when is she just gonna kiss him so we can move on" not "oh shit" or "HER,!?!".....

It's already an issue when you understand the "meta" of AVN (in this case she has points as an LI so obviously she wasn't going to straight up betray MC without player choice) even moreso on this specific case because even after the Vampires showed up it's still 95% comedy 4% sex scenes 1% dramatic cliffhanger that will be resolved by 1/4th of the following update..... it doesn't even make (financial) sense to change now would the patrons want that? Despite paying for multiple updates that went the complete opposite way?

If this was another incestharem game that would be all well and good, but like many others have pointed out MC is supposed to be the chosen one, who has trained with multiple "legendary masters" and is still getting absolutely 100% utterly slapped around like a child while fighting someone who in story isn't even a full power vampire then instead of buckling the fuck down because he just objectively lost to a vampire he does hehe funny poses with his childhood friend/fuck buddy :HideThePain:
