I doubt those nails are volleyball sports rules compliant, she can blow up the ball with those claws

Chapter 1 is easily the most dogshit drivel I've ever had the displeasure of reading in my entire life. It's the physical embodiment of a shower argument, no nuance and a constant downpour of literary clichés and dialogue that resembles the inner monologue of a teenage edge lord. No wonder the dev had to preface and state to the player that the MC was actually designed to be the most insufferable prick known to man. Otherwise I doubt this game would of kept the majority of its player base. I could be substantially jumping the gun here to criticize the game, but man this is fucking unbearable. Hope to christ this isn't representative of the rest of the game.

The nuance you’re looking for may come from IDK taking the time to wait for the MC to develop beyond Ch1. God forbid, but that's your opinion, and that's what forums are for, I guess. shrugs

Mc spends the first hour of the game raging the fuck out and making unsolicited sexual remarks to the members for next to no reason and manufactures his own problems at every turn. Wanting the Mc to stop smashing his dick and balls with a sledgehammer at every minor convenience doesn't seem like too much to ask. Play any other visual novel on this site with an Mc that shares a similarly checkered past and tell me with a straight face that you can't tell the difference in writing quality.

A character being insufferable, depressed or whatever you want to call the MC at the begining don't make it a bad character or bad writing, you just don't like that kind of MC.
And that's ok you can play any one of those other games you talk about.

Are we talking about the same MC? The same dense fucker that can barely see a four eyed nympho thirsting for him? because all his remarks aren't sexual, they're just.....stupidly constructed. He means it one way, people take it the other. So really it's on you for taking his remarks sexually. He is an asshole (literally warned at the loading screen that he is) and we're made known that he is. HE IS supposed to be unlikable on the first part of Chapter 1. If you keep playing you'll see the development in his demeanor and attitude. You either want him to do a 180 in 2 seconds or don't want to see his development.

Yeah, an MC who has flaws from the beginning of the game, rather than being a stud right out of the gate. The game may not be for you; that's fine. Please don’t fault me for your lack of patience with the AVN (much like the MC’s own lack of patience when recruiting his teammates), when you can't even let proper build-up happen outside of ONE CHAPTER.

Flaws is an understatement, he has ZERO redeeming qualities, fucking zero. At least with other characters there's an ATTEMPT by the writer to display at least one thing the viewer/player can derive from the Mc that in any way resembles a positive personality trait. The fact you're forming this false dichotomy between a "stud" and the prick we're forced to stomach for the first few hours of the game details to me you've never in your life seen what a well written character that still suffers from past traumas looks like. There's a reason why no other dev on this site dedicates the entirety of their pre-game info to reminding the player that it was actually intended for the Mc to act a certain way or display a certain set of personality traits. It's almost as if the dev knew the writing was utter shit in chapter one and tried to cover their ass.

While I wouldn't have phrased it so harshly, I had many of the same complaints you did about the first chapter. Yes, Johan is written to be awful on purpose, but that still doesn't make it fun to play as him. I can promise you, though, that he does get better. The writing is still a little cliche - it's based on sports anime, after all - but it improves drastically over both chapters. I very nearly abandoned the game after playing the first chapter but stuck around due to the visual quality, and I'm happy with that decision. Hope you'll give it the same try.

Almost like the MC is a teenage edgelord still grappling with the inability to play the game he based his entire identity around.

Calling it “zero redeeming qualities” says more about your impatience than the writing. A character starting abrasive, damaged, or outright unlikable isn’t bad writing; it’s a deliberate choice. You’re confusing discomfort with a lack of depth. Then you turn around and try to come at me as if I’m the one who’s lost. The irony is that you’re demanding visible redemption traits in Ch.1 while simultaneously claiming to understand trauma in the MC and how he can redeem himself.

As others have pointed out (see past Chapter 1 lol), the writing does improve and clarifies why the MC needs to change his approach both as a coach and as a person. If you don’t want to see that, THAT'S FINE. No one is forcing you to praise the game for its writing. But calling the MC irredeemable based on Chapter 1 alone is stupid, in my opinion. Hope you give it another shot and see the changes and if not…

Cheers.

This this and this. Some people are very impatient when absorbing from any medium form, being a book, movie, show, music etc etc. They expect everything to be "perfect" and pristine from the beginning and they don't tolerate flaws or "irredeemable qualities" even in fiction .

Fortunately I see signs that this paradigm is shifting for more tolerance and most importantly acceptance to flaws and imperfectness and raw emotions, in literature but specially in music/lyrics where for many years/decade(s) what was sold by (mainstream) labels are pristine rubbish music and lately I've been finding very good artists again that barely appeared on mainstream during almost 2 decades.

Welcome back to the new 90s lmao.

Edit: edited to add the concept of acceptance since in my humble opinion just tolerance isn't enough to get things better in my view.

 

[Superocco]

"Zero redeeming qualities" as if the MC is a murderer or a sex abuser from scratch lol.

The guy is just an unbearable dick that didn't bother to develop any social skills whatsoever for his whole life. Add that to the fact that he grew with an absent mother who didn't care about him, an abusing and hateful father, an obsession with never losing and with volleyball, which was his only source for 'venting out', and you pretty much have what he ended up being. A man who's had a very narrow mindset, a tunnel vision for evertything he's had to face, things that he always faced with brute force.
It's one thing to be an asshole because you decide to be like that and thrive on it. It's a totally different thing if you're an asshole because that's the only thing you've known for your whole life. Does it make his demeanor any better? Not at all. Does it excuse it? Not really, but it adds nuance to his character, and most importantly, redeeming qualities. What if now he sees better things around him? If he absorbed the bad stuff during his life, what'll happen to him if he starts absorbing the good?

So yeah, at first, he has no touch. He lashes out. He has anger issues. He's even violent. Hell, he doesn't even fucking know if his words might carry a second meaning, so he's also pretty clueless and naïve as well. He isn't making sexual remarks because he doesn't even know what the hell they are. We as players react the same way as the NPCs because we understand sexual innuendos. He doesn't, which is why he's constantly asking himself what the hell's wrong with it. He simply expresses his emotions as they come, raw, with imperfections, and always with one meaning in mind. It doesn't help that no one explicitly tells him that his words might come off as sexual. They just say "you need to think twice about what you say." But, if he doesn't know WHICH part of what he's saying is 'wrong', how is he going to correct that?

All in all, with a person like that, what exactly are we supposed to expect during the first hours of playthrough? It's totally fine if his behaviour throws you off, so much so that you can't endure a second longer playing as him. It's cool, really, there's no judgement there. That's not a sign of bad writing though, quite the opposite. He's supposed to make you feel uncomfortable. But a huge part of this game is the journey of him opening up thanks to the girls. Or seeing himself reflected in some others and trying to help them, perhaps preventing them from making the same mistakes that he did. It's up to us if we're patient enough and want to go along for the ride of his redemption. But no, he sure as hell doesn't have "zero redeeming qualities" or is a victim of a faulty script.
