Huh, never really read this forum so did not see this argument nor know that someone had many of the same problems as me. I do find most of the women to be interchangeable save for a few exceptions. Most of them seem to just be an extension of the same trope, with no real difference in personality. Lily is an exception because she has an arc, is not a static character and she has a specific goal in mind: To prove her superiority over her dojo, and make Ethan hers. A good number of the others just seem to want to enslave him because he is there, which I get as a fetish but it is shallow.
There is a very thin line that keeps some characters separate. Khulan is a cannibalistic brute, Scarlett is a classic dom, Eliza is uninteresting, and et cetera. There is no variety in goals or really in how they treat Ethan. They are just women who are bored and can force Ethan to his knees. For Ethan, that makes him emboldened to stand up against them (until he's tamed), but it is not an interesting character trait especially for a majority of characters in the game. And yeah Dialogue is samey.
To be frank Tower of Trample is interesting from a gameplay/mechanics angle as a game where you fight almost MGQ style against many women with losses being a step towards being tamed, but I am not sure that the characters can support that aspect with their current depth.
It does not help that Warrior's Guild shares many of the same aspects as this game including flat characters without concrete differences. Actually there are things that despite the age that it does better than Tower of Trample. Most characters notwithstanding. Ada's okay though.
