I can't speak for everyone, just myself, but the Adult in 'AVN' doesn't just mean sex. It also means Adult situations and concepts. For example a movie can be rated R and never have any sex scenes. Some of the best AVNs are heavy on being story driven, for example 'My Bully Is My Lover', great AVN and VERY story driven. Again i love what you have but I'm greedy lol I want more ;). Now this is just a thought but seeing as your still at the beginning you could very easily start over and remake the first episode, but again that's just a thought.
Yes, I agree with your opinion on AVNs. I feel the same way and I'll keep it in mind.
As for Takara and Ben, it's important for the progression of my story that they are a couple. That's why it happened so quickly between them, firstly because it will have to do with the wishing well and secondly because I want to go into the problems the two of them still have ahead of them... But I won't give too much away now. In any case, I'm really looking forward to your feedback when episode two is finished. I'm sure it'll be another three months before then, but I'd rather deliver a finished product. :-)
