See, I disagree with all of the hate. The character's 'flip' wasn't that much of a surprise to me. In fact it seemed rather obvious considering all the hints that were dropped. Then again, I've dealt with unhealthy obsessive people in the past. So maybe I saw it coming from past experience. Again though, I also disagree that it kills anything. If anything, this makes me want to finish the story even more. Having an antagonist who uses the 'heroes' own power against them is a good plot device and makes the 'hero' rethink their own use of their power and if they've abused it or not as well.
Yes, this is a 'pron' game and what not, but it's still also very much an interactive story. And stories need antagonist, twists, turns, and character development to be successful and this, well, this is a good story. Even the cliff hanger and being unresolved (for now) is good because you know something is coming and there will be a conclusion and depending on your choices, well, it could be good or it could be dark as hell.
Personally I look forward to it, and I feel bad that the author gets as much crap as they do for it. Yes, 2020 has been shit and we could all use an easy win, but c'mon. The story is great. I'd read it even without the porn.
