One could argue that this is less an error in Jenna's behavior at low Lust and more a failure of game design in allowing Jenna's Lust to drop this low in the first place.Nothing to do with "broadcasting" virginity loss (though Katie and Jenna actually do so when you're on their path as you should know) , really if you imply that Jenna was liking the MC (despite the very low relation score and negative lust score at that point) enough to be willing to have sex with him just because the MC asks her on the spot, don't you think Jenna afterward would have talked at some point to the MC during their private conversations after the event about the possibility of further their relationship if she agreed to having sex with him out of the blue ?
Because that's the problem : her dialogues are exactly the same as if she never had any intercourse with him, so if she is liking him that much, that's even more odd.
Would have made sense with Porshe that is more of a one night stand type of character, but with Jenna that does not fit the character.
And actually all the characters are constantly throwing hints and banters related to it after having had sex with the MC in the dialogues during the game story. So that's probably why it feels very odd in that specific case , mixed with why she was willing to have sex so easily considering in this playthrough :
I've never tried an anti-Jenna run, but I have seen a version of the scene where the MC has sex with Jenna despite having no action with her prior to that; IMHO it works reasonably well. It's clear, both from her actions in the scene and from her discussion with the MC on the ride home, that Jenna saw this as her one and only chance to have a moment with an MC who clearly wasn't that interested in her.
This suggests that Jenna is seriously infatuated with the MC - almost to the point of obsession - even when he rejects her. I think that's entirely consistent with everything else we've seen about Jenna, but I agree it doesn't really fit my concept of what -6 Lust should mean in practice.
It's true, if you skip the majority of content any update will always seem small.
That said, I think this update does have a couple of features that make it feel even smaller than normal. First, a LOT of time was spent on Captain Heart and Evie despite them being effectively filler. They aren't a 'path' in the normal sense, so it doesn't feel as much like a conscious choice on our part. IMHO, anyway.
The second issue is that there are a surprising number of girls who show up in ways that ought to feel significant, but really don't. Bella gets a lot of screen time during the big reveal, but it's almost all exposition. The actual character interactions with her are very short, which feels rushed given how much there should be to discuss if you're on her path (and of course there's no lewd scene). Jolina and Elaine suffer from a similar problem. Lily and Debbie likewise have very little to say on their relationships (though the status quo for them is at least fairly stable). Even Jenna, who gets a brief solo lewd scene, spends a lot more time on plot points than she does on character beats if you aren't also romancing Katie.
It's only Angel, Wanda, Zarah, Monica (I presume) and, of course, Katie that add substantial character moments to the length of the episode.
He's most certainly *NOT* justified in snapping at a new poster based purely on the age of their account. The worst that would have happened if he'd engaged in the actual merits of the post would be wasting some time confirming his original suspicions. Big deal.
