I think it's kinda funny that people are playing this VN, focused on a "group" of criminals who lie, cheat, steal, creep, and blatantly take advantage of others (ie lying to Megan, cheating on Vivian, stealing from the Walkers & art gallery, sneaking through the theaters clothing drawers as well as mystery girl's, and using a "date" with Zora as an opportunity to search her house for a hidden safe with valuables) Then the most recent criticism is that the MC just happens to be a creep that takes advantage of people like a terrible person and who isn't on par with the MC's of games past.
BREAKING: Criminals aren't great people and if he was the likes of previous MC's, he wouldn't be a criminal
For the record I thoroughly enjoyed their past VN's and i'm personally a more vanilla/romantic centered guy, though I enjoy this one & will continue to play it, but this critique seems pretty unnecessary. Basically, if you don't want to play a game where the MC isn't the best guy, you probably shouldn't play a game centered around career criminals...
