I find it funny guys have a problem with MC's personality calling him a sex addict. Meanwhile the MCs in other games use blackmail, manipulation and substances to induce girls into having sex, when they're not stealing underwear and such. What are they ? Angels ?
Get serious, 99% of the games around here feature an MC that's predominantly interested in sex. If that's not your thing, you're in the wrong forum.
As for mental capacity - I'd rather have a lovable goof, than the outright predatory rapist MCs that seem to get a free pass.
Yeah this is one of my favorite things about this game, the MC seems like a decent enough guy. Drugging, blackmailing, and sleep-raping the girls is waaaaaay too common in porn games for my liking.

He does spy on the girls without their consent multiple times, and there's sleep-rape as a planned scene for at least Celestine, Gomira, Madeleine, Anne, Holly, Lana, and Maple. Let's also not forget when you're railroaded into groping Lana's titty in her sleep. Just saying.

(Personally, I'm not bothered either way by the predator-rapist MC. In theory, I would like it, but I've yet to play a game that really leans into that that makes me feel powerful instead of just a creep.)


The thing that makes the protagonist better than average, IMO, is that the author is willing to make him the butt of jokes. Too many writers (not just in WEGs, but in general) are too precious with their MCs and treat them like delicate little flowers.

You're right, I guess I sort of forgot about those parts as they are absent later on. I hope the sleep rape that is planned is cancelled, as that would certainly go against my vision of the MC.

All of the sleeping content will be consensual.

And we made a point of making the MC apologizing to Lana after grabbing her boob without her permission and saying that his moms would have been very disappointed if they knew what he did. Luckily Lana isn't the type to care much, and there will be no other scenes similar to that.

In other words, he fucked up, owned it, and made an effort to be better in the future, like people should do.

It's what happens when stuff is written in a believable way.

Meanwhile the majority of games will have you believe you can assault a person in their sleep and they'd never wake up. The messed up implication is that if fine if they don't wake up. LewdLab's games are a prime example of this. My guess is it's a poor means to provide sexual content at the start, but it's still inexcusable.

...How? An unconscious person can't consent. Not unless it's a, "Go ahead and go to town on me while I'm passed out, even though I don't get to experience any of it, I get off on knowing that my body was used like a limp fuckdoll while I was unconscious" thing, which is... weird. Just feels like a way to avoid getting reported to patreon for noncon content.

And I wouldn't say anything about that... *if* it was something the player initiated. But even if you specifically choose the other thing, he ends up overriding your choice and going for the boob grope anyway. Furthermore, this is a work of fiction where literally everything being included is the deliberate choice of the creator. In this context the apology honestly just makes it worse, because it's insincere.

Easy

If he is in relationship with them and he knows they don't mind then it is fair game. It would be like kissing your girlfriend while she sleeps. Also I am not sure how he can have sex with her while she is sleeping without waking her up. In my head the scene would be after they smash and sleep on the bed then in the morning he would go for round 2 which is when the "sleep" scene comes.

Another way would be if the girl is dreaming about smashing him and starts speaking loud about her smashing him which is taken as consent before she wakes up and they continue.

What if they can link their dreams and fuck consciously in dreams while they are both asleep... There are tons of possibilities in a fantasy world like this but somehow it seems people can only think in rape. What does it says about us? We lack imagination, at the very least

Agreed.

I have no doubts that the developers know what they are doing. They have done an amazing job so far and they know one of the best parts about the game is how lighthearted and chill it is. Thinking they will just go the rape route because a lot of games decide to do this shit is weird.

Lol, how do you figure that when the creator just told you it was a sincere one, after MC realized he fucked up ?
My take is that they deliberately choose to lampshade other games that do this type of thing where the player gets away with it.

Jack's portrayed as a sympathetic character who was good to his wife and just wants her to be happy now that he's dead and gone and can't be with her any longer. Bringing him back from the dead just so you can cuck him wouldn't be satisfying, it'd just be psychotic.

For a netori arc to work, the person you're cucking has to be positioned as your enemy: The satisfaction is not just the carnal pleasure of fucking their partner, but also the sadism of hurting someone you despise at the same time. That's why Gretta works: Waldo is consistently (if a bit one-dimensionally) painted as the biggest asshole in the world.

(I oppose introducing Laura so you can steal her from Junior for the same reasons. Junior is a bit of a dumbass but he's just too nice to you.)
Well put, agree!

I mean the sincerity of the author, not the character: If they really did regret the inclusion of the content, it wouldn't be there at all, or at least it'd be avoidable. There'd be no need to make excuses with "yes there's this one non-consensual interaction but it doesn't count because the MC felt bad and was really, really sorry." (Note also that there's no such excuses or apologies with when he spies on Myrtle or Serena.)

I don't want anyone to misunderstand what I'm saying here: I don't care about it being in the game. I don't want it removed. (Though, if an update made it avoidable, I wouldn't complain.) I just want the creator to be honest about what their game is and what's in it.

My take is that they deliberately choose to lampshade other games that do this type of thing where the player gets away with it.
If that was the intent, it would have been better to do it like this:

*player picks the "grab her boob" option*
MC: What!? I'm not gonna grab a sleeping woman's boob! What am I, the main character of a porn game?

The script has made these kind of fourth wall jokes before (Serena's "Your actions are being controlled by a being beyond this world" line, for example.)

This is one of the most well done games I’ve seen on here! Absolutely love mertyle and looking forward to spending more time with Waldo’s wife!
I’m new, how often is the game updated?

We do have some plans for the sleep stuff, but you'll have to wait to see how we do it. Hopefully, we can make it work, and if we can't, I have no problem removing the sleep content altogether. One thing for sure is that it will not be added to the game if it feels non-consensual to us.

I mean the sincerity of the author, not the character: If they really did regret the inclusion of the content, it wouldn't be there at all, or at least it'd be avoidable.

The MC's grabbing of Lana's boob together with his apology and response is from 0.1. If we didn't like it, thought it didn't make sense, or regretted it, as you put it, we would have removed it before the initial release; it was a simple scene and easy to redo. And none of the game choices are there to judge you, the player, for better or for worse, and this one's no exception.

The idea was simple and, at least to me, logical. We wanted to show a bit of character growth: it was the MC's first day in the Old Capital (after the teleportation of the previous night) and the first day of living on his own, being independent, and not having his moms around to tell him what to do or what not to do (that scene was still in the introduction), and we wanted him to make a sexual mistake, get caught, have to apologize for it, and learn that that's not the right way, hence setting up his approach when it comes to touching female characters for the rest of the game. I know the same thing could have been done differently, something that's as true about this as it is about every other aspect of the game, but that's the way we did it, and to us it still makes sense.

At this point you're nitpicking. And not for a valid reason mind you, but just for the sake of nitpicking.
This is not a game that breaks the fourth wall in the way you suggest, and the scene feels more organic the way it is now. I believe it's easy to understand, without the MC having to explain verbatim why exactly it's there. TBH your suggestion reminds me of those forced 'girl power' scenes, which make me cringe, rather than actually well implemented women team ups.
