I totally think that the consequences of multiple relationships should only happen late in the game (any game), after you get the option to commit to a LI. Until there is no commitment, why should a LI blame you for b*****g around? This games should be fun and immersive a the same time, you shouldn't play with the terror of a misstep just because you want to play along some hot chance.

You do know you can commit to a few relationships?

Also, why do people censor words on an adult forum?

Also.... we're only about 6 updates away from the end this IS late game.

We're in the endgame now... Well, almost, maybe, I mean... If Ace says we are.

And the only commitment some people want in these games is for the length it takes for the MC to nut...

I don't freaking know why people censor themselves but it is so gosh darn tootin' funny!

Hmmm, I think the next update can't get here soon enough for me.

How is it problematic?

Considering most girls won't share and a harem wouldn't work without them killing him not to mention harems in most cases look ridiculous..... not seeing your point?

Remember there has NEVER been a harem.
It seems to me that if you only choose one LI path that you would miss out on important plot information. This is why I said it is problematic. Without a harem option there are many good LI choices and I appreciate the character development. My personal favorites are a possible Debbie/Lily combo or Bella. Bella IMO would be the best of all worlds since it would not violate the M/C's Dad's Will conditions and would allow the M/C to care for Elaine when she loses her part of the inheritance by maintaining contact with the M/C. Ultimately though I'd like to slueth out who this "Dizzy" is and who sent the emails and it seems that romancing all the gals is necessary to that end (perhaps not so much Katie and her crew).

You phrased it poorly then.

Also, you're making the assumption that plot relevant info, which so far hasn't been tied to any LI (iirc) when it comes to the MC learning about it, is tied to specific LIs.

Ultimately though I'd like to slueth out who this "Dizzy" is and who sent the emails and it seems that romancing all the gals is necessary to that end (perhaps not so much Katie and her crew).
Again, I doubt plot-relevant info, such as who "Dizzy" is, is or will be tied to romancing specific people.

After this episode, I don't particularly trust Bella anymore. It really felt like she was trying to turn the MC against Elaine and she was playing up the whole lovey-dovey, girlfriend thing (if you're on that path with her) a bit too much. Elaine's reasons for thinking Bella should move out are quite understandable; she feels like she's a burden to Bella and holding her back from her own life, so she thinks that Bella moving out would be good for her to get her own independent life back again. But Bella just went straight to conspiracy town and thinks this is some tactic to get rid of her as part of her wanting the inheritance.

Also, I kind of agree on your point about the relationships, because it does feel that by limiting the relationships you have in the game, it limits the content of the game, and not just in terms of sexual content, but in terms of character development, relationship development (the non-sexual aspects), and general character/plot exposition.

I don't believe I ever said we were in the end game. Just that Cheeky estimated 25 eps a long time ago, and that I thought that was an underestimate. :) I'd simply say we are at the beginning of the end. We have some big things happening very soon, but still plenty to come.

So we’re at the “beginning of the end” -game? Dang it! Okay then after the Next update would you then classify us as being in the endgame at that point? We’d have ~5 updates left, right?

Ah but were you aware, as Zoey Raven must have been when making their walkthroughs, that the devs had repeatedly stated that this was not going to be a harem game?



Problematic for your desire to have all the women, yet in no way problematic for the story.
I haven't played the game since Jan 2020 until recently because the updates took so long to come out. It still seems like you need to at least romance Jenna, Joline, and few others to find out important plot information. At the same time when I last played, it became somewhat obvious that at least some of the paths were exclusive like Monica for example. I really do not care whether it's a Harem game or not so your assumption that I want to just shag em all is incorrect. As I began my playthrough this go I did read the post about Zoey and his WT and the non-existent Harem path, yet his WT that is still available is quite good as his stuff is usually and still allows one to see what the consequences of the choices are. I'm currently still playing a "Cheating" game while saving at milestones to go back and change the choices. The game is replayable and has always been a well designed VN. It's certainly far beyond the usual Big Ass, Big Tit, and Ridiculously proportioned M/C member VN where the M/C has Amnesia or returns from Uni to cuck his dad, shag his mom and sisters, cousins and anything with a skirt.

So, just gonna get the MC in deeper and deeper with each of the relationships to worsen the soul-crushing, ball-crushing consequences, eh?

Not every character, but I believe ace has said in the past that there will be some mini-harems.

Hmm, The last time I played the game the story ended at Joline's place just after she busted Jenna and the M/C spying on her while the M/C and her were have some sexy time. I haven't played since and I'm still at the point in the story now when the M/C just got his dad's car. Now I really want to see what's happening with Bella, but yes it feels like if you do not pursue Monica/Zhara you will miss out on Angel. Likewise if you do not pursue Katie you will miss out on Debbie/Lily which are two of my favorites besides Bella. If you do not pursue Jenna then she won't get you into the whole spying hacking side of the game and you miss seemingly important plot info.

We took a lot of pains to make sure that you didn't miss anything crucial plot wise or even characters by not dating particular girls.

"Mini-harems" isn't even remotely the same thing that had been referenced, which you know very well...
Let him have his moment, he's never wrong you know. As for the subject, depending on how exactly we views harems...there will be ONE mini-harem (not harems) and even that is stretching it if we think Katie, Lily and Debbie would actually work out long-term.

No, that was the post I wanted to quote after I saw Macinnes quote it because I wanted to point out that, according to acewinz, there will be mini-harems in some of the game's endings.
Most you're going to get is Katie, Deb and Lily which has been known since practically the start.

There will probably be a few other pairings but no other big groups.

I hadn't pursuit either Monica, Zarah or any of the sisters, but i'm almost at full relationship with Angel, Wanda, Debbie e Lily. I'm actually hoping in an ending route where you just say "bye bye" to Monica and her daughters and you just grab the legacy. Maybe with Angel or Wanda, or both. Or Jolie. Or Dogboy. Big twist.
