It just makes it really hard to like the main character because it just makes him seem like a massive asshole.
Massive asshole for calling Gomamon a girl? That seems a bit extreme for something as small as that. Yes, Gomamon is irritated by it, but not completely crestfallen or anything like that. Considering you can rape Gomamon, I would say calling him a girl can count as some simple teasing. xD
Though I do hope you will like how it plays out and how the characters develop. Worst case scenario, my writing sadly doesn't work out for you, but it would be hard to please everyone.
Is true, or, that is how I see it as a character flaw on his part.
And seeing his intent is to basically corrupt Gomamon into a total perv, that is, his kind of perv, even during the "good" route, I'd call him a bit of a antagonist, and is not meant to be fully liked. If you don't swing that way.
As for me, I don't, and felt he had been a bit too much of a jerk to Gomamon for repeatedly poking fun at him by referring to him as a girl even throughout the "good" rout.
But all in all, it did not put me off from enjoying the story any. And he was rather quite redeemable most of the time, if you chose his actions wisely.
I do happen to like dark, so in my own way, I did enjoy the "evil" rout too. Wile knowing the mane guy was going to be an extra mean antagonist to Gomamon, to turn him into a total broken submissive in the end.
I too felt he could have been a bit nicer to Gomamon during the "good" rout, but then it be me making up the story as to how I want, rather than taking the story as written. And is never the right way to think when reading someone else's work. Is not fair to the writer. As then, it would not be writer's story anymore.
He is what he is meant to be. A person who is not perfect, and not always nice.
If I wish, I can just imagine him to have been nicer on my own, in my own made up version of the story played out in my head. And that is more than enough. It's what shipper of fan-fiction do. Or, at least, I do. ^.^
Cool. ^.^
Not to say I will. But if I was to do anything, it would be to make a short animation, using the story you made as a base, with some of my own small changes to it. As a form of fan fiction, of a fan fiction.
Been thinking about it a lot actually. Became oddly obsessed over this story of yours. I don't know why. O.O
But I lack the talent and time for such a project. However, if I did do such a thing, I'll be sure to let you know.
Neat. ^^ And I would say there is never such a thing as 'lacking' only more of such a thing of not having the knowledge yet. We learn and improve and get better as life is a learning process. If you are that interested, you can do it, even if there are struggles as you learn the ins and outs of working with Renpy and other programs. If you decide to do it, I wish you the best of luck for it.
I don't know Renpy.
The animation would be done in 3D with Blender. That would mean making and rigging 3D models. And creating the small world environment for the events to take place in. After, I would need sound, and some form of voice over.
It would be a project, one I be only a little familiar with.
