Argghhh... There are sooooooooooo many hotties lustin' after MC and I can't even remember who they all are and how they know MC. Two so far have cockblocked him saying they are his girlfriends. I'm gettin' too old for this shit. Think Imma hafta start over... Again...
I agree. I actually think this game suffers from too many LIs. I eventually quit playing because I couldn't be arsed to keep track of so many easily replaceable girls.

Is each one better than the last? Every time a new beauty shows interest in the MC I regret falling for the last one... Am I just greedy? Well... yes. I'm already trying to figure out which ones go together. Ahhh... Harem ending to the rescue! Seriously though I definitely must start over since I went for Julia early on and turns out Olivia won't go out with me now... I think Olivia is my #1... At least until the next one comes along.

"This story has a lot of emotional moments, so I hope you're in a good state of mind."
Did anyone actually connect emotionally to that shitty weak prologue ?!!!
I sure hope those reviews saying "it gets better" are legit..
MC having a nightmare of his leaving gf (that he didn't really give a fuck about, fake emotions aside) turning into a giant hairy black spider .. how desperate the writer can get !!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure you could do much better write? (see what I did there?)

Dude, that is such a tiring response. You don't need to be a chef to tell some food is underwhelming, especially when people around you are praising it like it's the second coming of Christ. I don't know why you get so defensive when anyone criticizes bad writing.

The game's prologue is pretty shitty insofar as it tries to make us care about the MC or setup some emotional issue with Kim and others. It's reeks of immaturity and for a lot of readers it falls flat, which is a bad setup as we're trying to get into a new story.

It was as tiring as his post was. Low effort whine gets low effort response, though in my defence, I thought my post was actually quite witty and clever. Sure as hell had more thought and intelligence put into it than his.

No but it does help. Underwhelming compared to what exactly..what you think it should be like or what your mom makes on Sunday? Complaining without anything constructive is just a whine and honestly, wine isn't very nice without a good cheese to compliment it ;)
especially when people around you are praising it like it's the second coming of Christ
When did that happen lmao? Are we in the same thrread of the same VN? Ever had a dream...it make much sense? Exactly. The writing is fine, and certainly way above 95% of VN's, which admittedly is a pretty low bar to begin with. Maybe that's why it's praised? It's a VN, much like a graphic novel, I really don't think anyone is expecting it be War and Peace...or comparing it to such either, though do feel free to post such comments if they exist.

Bye.

I agree that the prologue is a pretty poor attempt at most things beyond the renders/the idea that it sets up characters. IMO the worst of the writing is contained to the ex gf/keyla and the mom lol though and the rest is serviceable albeit not super interesting, beyond random memories and flashbacks and keyla I guess it does improve but at the same time there are scenes where the MC mom basically says "if you dont forgive her then its smarter to just not say anything at all" :KEK:

like i guess MC is simping hard for the girl because she was the first girl he was seriously with but why tf is the mom simping for her sons ex gf a year after she gave him a days notice she was leaving for somewhere halfway around the world? :HideThePain:

TBH though the writing is going to go back downhill once the ex gf comes back (likely rained on with makeup running down face) at the end of one of the updates towards the end. IMO this game isnt good enough as a porn gallery but its better at that than any kind of dramatic story telling.

Imagine coming here getting something for free then whining about it. If it's not for you then just delete it and don't play it! There are quite a few popular AVN's that I happen to dislike, but you won't find me in those sub forums low key insulting the developers work and players who happen to enjoy it.
I haven't seen one post here saying how the writing should win some award or something. But it's by no means bad and the good renders and LI's more than make up for it IMO.

I generally like this VN, but this was not my favorite update. The way the trip with Kim was handled was way too cutesy given the choices I've made, particularly that

Yep. I was ok with being civil to her. We have to work together, after all. But I already cast my vote on the side of being done with her and didn't care what her reasons were; they weren't good enough. Then I get being sympathetic shoved down my throat.

It's funny. I started over for the third or fourth time and the prologue still pissed me off as much as the first read. I want to see where the story goes but, I confess, the MC may need to kill someone in order to grow a spine. There's a bad guy or two lurking around...

Ah yes and whining about the "whiners" is good because......?

I dont think saying someone fails at dramatic storytelling is low key insulting them especially when the entire story is as subtle as a sledgehammer and even then I clearly said "IMO" but then again you somehow missed that every single 5 star review mentions "its the best avn ever" or "story comes first" or "high degree of freedom in choosing how you approach relationships" so i guess you missing that i was just sharing an opinion is par for the course :KEK:

I was thinking "Spaceman"
Have no idea what this "Spaceman" is. That scene that I posted was the first thing that popped into my head when I read those words.

Could have posted the image to show what you meant but, I guess I'll go look for it. Edit: Adam Sandler movie? oh my god... no. The Female turning into a spider is definitely Enemy.


Dev/Writer, where did you get this idea from? Enemy or Spaceman?
