Hey there!

It's a story driven adult visual novel and I like it to be more on the logical/realistic side. So if I have a large amount of girls who have to be fixated on the MC, I will at least make the pacing believable, so he won't randomly have scenes with all the girls that easily. I've added some variation, e.g. Amber is more easily to get scenes with as for example Lucy. Some aren't even interested in MC at the beginning. Some are randomly interested in him, some have been interested in him for years.

Ignore the stats, honestly this is just another post I've read over the years which just might me remove the statscreen. It's just that you achieved 100% of the achievable stats so far, nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't mean "I have 100% with Lucy, where scenes?!", it's just based on the character itself and that you achieved everything I've managed to put into the game for this specific character.

There will be deeper, kinkier scenes in the future ;) But it just doesn't make any sense to include them randomly at after 3 Chapters. This isn't your typical "fuckfest" porn game, it's a story driven adult visual novel :. Whereas adult also refers to violence and horror, to a certain degree only of course.

I don't get what you mean by not seeing a certain girl in 2nd and 3rd chapter, I have to split up the screen time between the available chars and add new ones so people don't get bored by only seeing on char. I don't get which character has full attraction and is supposed to be "inaccessible". I made it easy to stay or leave a girls path so far.

Sorry that it didn't match your expectations, but my vision for the novel is to have a slow start until you will reach a point where the sex initiates naturally because MC has build a relationship with each girl and it doesn't look like it's randomly forced into the game. Takes a long time to create these scenes and I want to tell a story in the end, albeit with sex mixed in :D

OK.

Let me first say this : Your game, graphically, and the aesthetic, is AMAZING. I am also seemingly enjoying the story for now, though the details are somewhat, and I know this is by design, vague, right now, so I cannot be sure how good, or bad, or bat-sh*t cray cray THAT side of things is right now. But I like all that, everything is awesome... overall.

But that stat screen? I guess I just assumed once you made 100% with someone, SOMETHING would happen... not that it would only have to happen once... but it would be the first encounter of many down her path. In part, because they KIND OF, sorta, DID happen with a couple of girls I 100% in the first chapter.... Amber and A... whatever the A name twin is called.... tbh.... I am not good with names, I am more of a...physical traits kinda guy (like I wont recall a girls name, I will just call her Clitoris Piercing.. because she has one, or Tramp Stamp because she has one of those, or Teacher, because she is that etc etc).

So yeah, having had Naomi (I remember THAT name because it is MY FAV girls name being slightly dyslexic... because when that happens ... it is something that is dependent on volume of text... I can manage simple sentences most times... but when that kicks it... she becomes Imoan... or I MOAN... so remember that name on any lady :P )...... already jump me... what, TWICE iirc, and then having her admit she is uncontrolably attracted to me (to the point she basically R words the MC), and then seeing that once I got Amber and A twin to 100% what happened.... I just assumed that meant I would begin my strange, seemingly slightly mutually exploitative and abusive, torrid D/S sexual relationship with Miss I Moan in the final chapter, too. I had everything 100% both stats, including her kink side... so given all that... it just seemed logical.

When it did not happen, it ruined my immersion. I was just suddenly done, game over for now... no Naomi.

That what I meant by inaccessible for ONE thing... we sure dealt with her a LOT, but that WASNT the pathway to aforementioned terrible mistake I thought it was going to be.

Yeah, so, just being honest, I did find it a bit slow, on the Adult part of AVN. Everyone has their pace... but with a HUGE roster of women, which the Stats screen between chapters reveals there ARE in this game... well the game is not alone in that... in most, when there ARE so many, the MC ends up beginning his D lead charge to giving them all the best two and half minutes of their lives, pretty quickly, for at least SOME of them.

I understand to many AVN authors, it is the STORY first. You do you. I aint making them game, and it is free.... but for me the A part is JUST if not MORE important... otherwise I would just play VNs instead of AVNs :P

Considering she almost orally R'd me the first time we met, for example, being three chapters in, but getting NO time to go further with Jane, and being C blocked by the annoying daughters the ONE chance you get to try bring it up, feels like WAY TOO SLOW a burn for me, and seems to suggest the A bit will be fairly .. low key... not in terms of quality or length, pacing, blocking, etc of those scenes... but the amount.

Which breaks my fragile heart, because I was hoping to give Jane a great many repeat two and half minutes, and Amber too, and Green Haired Goth Cutie, and Teacher, and Annoying Twins, and Malfunctioning Sexbot, and Naomi... and Bright Red Hair transfer girl... and masked stripper... and lesbian toilet ingenue too actually... ... then combinations of them... three minutes spread out over Jane, and Annoying Twincs, or one of them, at once, or Green Goth girl and Naomi and teacher at once etc etc etc :P :P :P

But unless the adult content comes back end loaded in the story HEAVY AF, then I suspect there will not be enough of it for me at this pacing, unless the game winds up 30 chapters long lol.

So I will just hold off rating this one, or give a solid four for effort.. and come back in 24 months or so LOL, see how we wind up.

Don't mind me, I am a grumpy old sicko, who likes his AVNs VERY A heavy, is all.

This one still shows how awesome the effort you've put in otherwise is.

Thank you very much! :)

Yeah it's not like when you hit 100%, something will definitely happen, it's basically just that you have all of the available affection or if possible submission points for those characters, might be a bit confusing!

MC is actually the one who took initiative with Naomi and she was attracted by his boldness as she admits in Chapter 2 on the school hallway, the first time in the hospital was actually a dream and not real, the second time though... Naomi will definitely get some future scenes, but as you said, she already had more or less two and I need to manage my available screen time to introduce the other girls and have potential scenes with them in the future :)

At the moment I'm definitely more focus on getting the story going, developing the relationship with the girls. Adult content will come, once the relationships are developed, that's just natural for me to do (for most characters at least, some are not slow burn (e.g. Naomi or Amber who have scenes relatively early)). The game will definitely be a bit longer at this current pacing and the adult content will develop over time as well, when the relationships are at that point.

I will continue to put in effort and in 24 months, there should definitely be more A content in it! :D
