I cursed at Geist, my post was deleted, it is illegal to curse fictional characters in games ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つUnfortunately, there seems to be a misunderstanding between the author of this game and its audience. I understand the author's desire to maintain tension and evoke a range of emotions as we interact with the story. However, in my opinion, the author has made a mistake. The action unfolds too quickly and in too "wild" a style.
I don't mean that the main protagonist and his wife should have a five-hour segment assuring each other of their fidelity and love, interspersed with flashbacks about how they met.
The game advertises itself as netorase, where a partner, with the consent and knowledge of their significant other, has sex with someone else. However, we have a situation where the main protagonist's wife spends the night reading about cuckolding and then decides, seemingly at random, by trial and error, what and in what quantities she will give her husband in this matter. This happens without a mature discussion about what they both want and agree on.
Some may prefer this "wild", more spontaneous style, but I believe the audience looking for netorase would expect a more "civilized" approach. Communicating with glances and half-words might be more exciting, but personally, I wouldn't risk my marriage and love on the hope that everyone will perfectly understand what the other person means in the moment.
It seems we have an arc where Geist becomes our best friend, despite his threats to kill us after his ego was damaged because our wife did not look at him 100% of the time when he fingered her. Maybe if this were a netorare story, this character would fit better. But in netorase, this approach feels out of place for the audience, or at least for the part I belong to.
I hope the next update takes a different direction from 0.05. While it’s not a perfect visual novel, it has the potential to be at the top. And I, along with many others, can't wait to see this potential.
My previous post with a little edit:
I totally agree with you, everything was great until Geist came into the story, even fmc is hiding things about him
