**Spoiler Warning**

I said it last time. Because the update... Just came out. 

Update Review


So, another update, and thus another month, has passed. You know what that means? It's review time!
Spoiler warning, because of course, this is a review on the update.

 
First, let's start with the wake up scene. I smiled ear-to-ear just seeing her(Lily) laying there, and the boldness she's gained from learning of all the MC's ventures makes it even better. For her character, it's reinforcing the aspects of her that we hear the mc express when talking to Morgan, she has an adventurous, and slightly wild, side hidden beneath her cutesy exterior. She also says this herself many times. It creates this nice dynamic, where Lily is almost always bound to be in every update, or every in-game day, which can quell all concerns of wifey not getting enough attention in the future updates as more characters are added. Her meeting with Bree also went amazingly, in my opinion, and it turned out about how you'd expect it to. I like how Bree doesn't just immediately switch characters, and stays true to her nervous self before she gets to know people. It sounds like goblins, or at least this one, are more akin to cat anthros than any others, despite what it may seem like at first. It also served to give purpose to a later meeting with Amber after Lily left and Amber arrived, and I think having the characters around the mc, even if they aren't directly given scenes, is amazing for the story's progression, where the game progresses with the mindset of "no characters left behind", which is good for all of us. It also helps the friendships and relationships feel real, and it keeps Oakridge feeling like home.



Next was Daisy's quest, a true work of art. It showcases the mc's charitability(something often pointed out), while also highlighting how he doesn't really have anything to do BESIDES help out. It's good for him to help out, and have all this free time, but having Morgan plant the idea for him to question him on his own position hammers it in that even if it's all magical and heaven-like, Oakridge is still a society and he'll probably want something to do and a practice to call his own. But outside of those general messages, the steps we took through the quest are individually great.
Bart and Penny, for the first time, were shown working together! It's kind of unbelievable, but we really never saw them working the restaurant together, maybe Penny cooking at our first arrival, but we still didn't even see a full glimpse of that. Having father and daughter at work together really created this wholesome environment, and it once again solidified MFN as the Happiest game of all time. Was also cool that there's always a different mood depending on the time in Dragon's Head, and that Cactus has kept that consistent through the updates.

 

Then we went to Morgan, you can skip this part if you didn't engage with him. It's a bit gay. I seriously, seriously wished upon all the shooting stars that the tea would have cum in it(I know, I'm a pervert. Sue me.) Sadly, it did not. Cactus prioritized the character's integrity and the realisticity of their actions over horny pervy shit... What a shame, man. But that's really a plus in the end, since you won't be throwing away any character traits for porn. Thanks, Cactus. I'd comment more on this scene itself, but it'd all sound like horny nonsense. I said before I'm a bit biased towards femboys, and I wasn't lying. 

But in terms of character and story, this did a lot to reveal the struggles that Morgan faced, with growing up, and with romance. I think it was honestly really cute how he struggled with romance, something that, really, most of us who play these types of games most likely can relate to. Though for different reasons, I'd imagine. It's nice to see a character that struggled growing up, but still pushed through, and even as his hopes for romance faded, his passion for books kept him, well, passionate, and himself. Love to see it, and I love how the mc kind of made him gay, in a sense.


Now to Hazel and then Daisy. Hazel, you are evil. You're the cause of that goddamn cliffhanger! Keep your magical potions in a box at least, woman!
But otherwise, yeah, it was good seeing the mc help out even more. Hazel also, as usual, tried to get in the mc's pants. I think she's grown addicted to human dick already, but I digress. Daisy, you wonderful, wonderful beauty. I don't know about you guys, but I chose all the sub options, and something about this actual care-taker esc character calling me good boy made me weak in the heart. Incredibly strong in the nether regions, though, and my dopamine flooded like a tsunami into my brain too. Daisy acted as the wise listener again, and I like how similar the mc and his grandma are, at least from Daisy's point of view. It makes me wonder though, how many anthro guys did grandma have intercourse with, but I'm just gonna ignore that and act like she was lesbian in her later years. She's also not dead. I have a very large suggestion that I need to send to Cactus about what she could be doing, but again, I digress.

Then this fucking CLIFFHANGER HIT. I may have gotten a bit spoiled, for no fault other than my own, so it wasn't as shocking, but holyyyy dude. It's like Cactus is forcing us to be extremely excited for the next update. Get me off of this cliff, and get me on the next update! Seriously, I'm losing my mind here.

I had a bit more emotion in this one as compared to the last two, but I think I still provided a relatively intellectual review on this update. Believe me, I tried. I didn't. That's a lie. I just rant in these.  Anyway, hope you had a great time playing the update and reading my review, and I'll see you in the next one. Much love!

 P.S. If you have suggestions, go to the discord and recommend them. It could be something as simple as adding a certain kind of character(preferably non-sexual, since the cast is getting insanely large), or a minigame you want to see added. Always good to have more voices for things like suggestions.
