The writing on this is gripping, I think I like everything about it from the gamut of kink scenes & the varieties of options to engage with them, to the deep tension of being a covert interloper being coaxed into a place where you're not allowed, actively being (or at least attempted to be) chased out of is... precise. Almost like playing operation? It's a story that works exclusively in delicate but intentional movements. I also like a game where I get to learn about something (bootblacking i think), that's always fun! I liked that scene a lot, there's a nice tension there too between the expectation, surprise-- and again, the learning-- but in-text as well, like it kind of enhanced the theme of trying to deepen the connection to the host in my experience. Its cool!
I think? this appeals to me? like I kind of feel like the target audience despite some of my resistance to it on occasion. Immersive might be a good word though it feels kind of... not strong enough or maybe a little trite, haha. Sorry if this is a weird comment, I'm trying to articulate that I'm moved in a way. I'll probably be mulling it over for a while!
