Dunno if anyone else mentioned this at any point in the thread, but there's one story beat that bothered me. While it's a key part of the story and arguably necessary to set up the sex training system, it's absolutely ludicrous that, when you're running a brothel that is so deep in the red that you're facing disaster, you have two beautiful virgin girls who you'd just deflower yourself solely to get them accustomed to sex. In this era a girl's virginity was incredibly valuable and would be auctioned off in a pleasure house like this for a considerable sum of money- it was a major plot point in Memoirs of a Geisha (and before you point out that the girls aren't geishas, just courtesans, there's a history of prostitutes having their virginity auctioned off even in Western brothels).
I mean I like the story idea that you're doing it for the girls' benefit so they don't have to sell their first time to a complete stranger and you can be considerate to them because I always like looking out for my girls in games like this, but considering how absolutely desperate the story sets you up as, missing such a huge potential source of income is just jarring. It's not a huge issue (the game has bigger ones) but it's just something I needed to mention.
