I posted a review about the first part of your comment "It's like they spend way too much time with Felix so you actually feel bad for him." I believe a lot of people don't really understand that this game hits hard because of how slow it is. Yeah there's a shit-ton of dialogue that is unnecessary, but the meat is there and it's very fucked up if you're paying any attention to it from start to finish.It was almost painful to watch how she degraded and became vile and sinister. As Watershed pointed out in the reviews: "It's like they spend way too much time with Felix so you actually feel bad for him".
IDK, that could be a short after-fap melancholy trip, but this game made me look at it from another perspective and reflect on whether I actually enjoy this kind of stuff.
I mean, that Felix dude did nothing wrong. Yes, his Johnson wasn't big, but you can't blame the man though. And it's not like she did ever complain either. The argument of him being "stupid" and oblivious does not change the fact he was sentenced to suffer, as there is no world for him she doesn't get corrupted to the core (except for one ending where everything is cut short and she doesn't get a chance to fall in the trap there is no escape from, if I'm not mistaken).
Ultimately, it's a kind of "if you go fuck, there's no going back" situation for her in this story. But I think I've come to realization that it's almost ubiquitous in tropes focused on NTR and corruption. It's almost always a black and white dichotomy of having either the pure-love vanilla route or the corruption route. You should either avoid the boss or are destined to be steamrolled no matter what, and what can vary there is the amount of cruelty that entails. It's not like this can't have its place on the NTR spectrum, but I'm just wondering why is this (seemingly) the most common pattern out there. Perhaps, it's just easier to implement and it sells good, and it requires a talent to create something deeper.
Anyway, I feel I'm all over the place with this already. I don't really know what I wanted to say. The game is good in its particular department, and maybe I'm just wishing it was something it is not.
Unfortunately, my review got taken down because I guess I got a little too biased(?) or whatever, and someone reported it. Essentially though, my thought process is that this isn't really a game people should play if you don't want to feel like shit by the end of it. I finished through after they released 1.0 and fuck me this VN is depressing, by far *the* most depressing VN I have ever played in my life.
You can say that this is just "a porn game, yadda yadda" but if you're paying attention to what's going on and realize how they developed their characters, you'll come to find that A) all the characters are terrible people, and B) this VN is made for masochists who like to watch the MMC get tortured for the FMC's enjoyment.
Other than that, the art is really great and that's the reason I picked this one up, but don't pay any attention to the story if you appreciate your sanity.
