Oh definitely, how people relate to a character matters a lot. And in that case especially: as I'm sure you know by now, a lot of people feel VERY strongly one way or the other about NTR/cheating/stealing, perceived or real, especially when you're playing the other side of that relationship. Which is understandable: if you're playing a game to simulate a relationship and then get involuntarily cucked, that's going to be a problem if you're not into that kind of thing. But as you said, not something I've had to worry about yet with mine: CS is mostly for people who want to self-insert into a character that gets thrown around and manhandled. In a more general sense though yes, absolutely. Always important to consider what the experience of playing the game is going to be for most people, and try to anticipate that as best you can.

Mhm. I started my game before the whole cucking thing was quite as mainstream, so only a year or two later was it mentioned. Though to be fair the MC hadn't really done any lewd interaction with the lewding target yet, so they weren't a thing so to say. Of course that didn't stop people from feeling a certain way about it and by then I was so deep into the writing that I couldn't simply change it easily too. I personally just like gangbangs and didn't think far enough ahead there. xD Anyway, hope to see more games from you. It was a pity MCs cute friend didn't get lewded in the game. =3
