Thank you for giving us this notice P1NK-ANG3L! You did warn everyone buying the game (on the main page) that it will contain femdom and maledom so it's expected MC would get to be bold. We just haven't experienced the dominant Jayce in her presence so they will most likely balance each other a bit later. As a sub person myself I'm really looking forward to dominant Jayce in the future.

As a consumer it's easy to criticise and forget about all the work needed to be put into the product. It's very kind of you to consider what fans of your work say but also believe in your vision of the work. It's very important for the author to enjoy their own story while they create it to not burn out <3

To me, MC doesn't feel bold or dom, just rude to a person who is clearly struggling. I emphasize to Jayce in the situation where he couldn't say anything because he was so shocked and anxious. MC still can be bold, but not to the point of it sounding rude and not being empathetic to a person who is clearly struggling. It would make the same effect if MC just ignored Jayce. It may not have the same effect as it had in the game, but I still feel like Jayce would obv still question his actions. It's a really cool game, though, and the creator doing a good job, and people not liking the MC doesn't mean the creator did something bad, it just means it was so beautifully written that people are feeling things, which is obv good.

I wouldn't say that MC is purely rude. Don’t get me wrong, I also didn’t like MC’s behavior but she knew Jayce for two days. He was hella rude (from her pov) when they first met and extremely suspicious on the next day. I can see why her walls were up and she was defensive toward him. We accept Jayce’s behavior bc this is what we were expecting from him from the very beginning and were surprised by MC’s personality.

Still I agree, MC’s personality should be toned down bc most players didn’t enjoy it. She can be bold, even rude sometimes, but it needs to be for the right reasons and not out of nowhere. At the end we all want the game to be the best it can be, but this is the author's creation and their decision is last. If they would listen to us - great, if they will continue the way they see it fits the story more - all the power to them.

"MC’s personality should be toned down bc most players didn’t enjoy it" - there's no way to know if this is true. People tend to comment more to complain rather than say "I like that x is like this", so I think the complainers are just vocal rather than necessarily representing a majority. If it was really such a big issue then people wouldn't buy the game at all.

Personally I like the MC so far! She's fun & isn't the typical FMC you usually see in otomes, she helps drive forward the story (several scenes wouldn't have happened at all if her personality wasn't like this), and she keeps Jayce on his toes. I liked that he called her a "handful" lol.

The creator is a solo indie dev, she's making the whole game by herself, so there's a lot of work put into this & it's a passion project. It's unrealistic and unsustainable (and a lot of pressure) to expect her to be able to cater to the audience's every whim, and I'm sure I speak for most people who bought the game that we trust her vision for it. So I hope people can accept her statement made in this post and be patient & wait for the next part of the game. There are so few games like this for a female audience (I don't know any 3D ones), and this one in particular is already so promising, so I really want it to do well.

True! People mostly focus on the negative side and forget about things they enjoyed. I honestly didn't like MC at first but was ok with her later closer to the end of the story we have available. I believe in author and their vision for the game. Customers can say if they didn't like something but I feel like lately all the comments were a bit too rude and it can be very discouraging for a solo dev!

"rude to a person who is clearly struggling" - Jayce has literally been stalking her for a year 😭. I know MC doesn't know that yet, but it's understandable that from her POV his behaviour is off putting and unsettling. Remember this is a man who is a complete stranger to her - he ignores her & doesn't speak to her when they first meet, does that creepy joker smile that freaks her out, he "happens" to turn up at a cafe she's at on her day off DRINKING HER FINISHED DRINK????
