All I can say is. Wow..  Just wow...

I haven't even played this game yet, but based on what I have read of this feed so far, I feel the need to point some things out.

You (Maxime Martyr, not the Dev) make points that literally contradict the biggest complaint you have so far.  (Ignoring the small detail about The Language goof)

The (despicable [As you put it]) cheating wife vs. the (Pass the buck husband):  I don't really know how to even say this without coming across as a dick, but I will do my best.  You make the point that the  cheating wife is not at fault for cheating because the husband neglected his home life in favor of work, and quoting you verbatim, 

      "it is 100% the fault of the one who stops paying attention because whatever the other does, they do it BECAUSE the other stopped paying attention";  

This statement is not only stupid, it's also completely contradictory to the point you are trying to make.  In reality, it is BOTH of their faults.  The husband's for not paying attention to his S.O. and the wife's for being unfaithful.  It's a 50/50 spread.  I don't know what fantasy world you live in that it's acceptable to cheat on your S.O. because you feel they aren't paying enough attention to you.  In a healthy relationship, communication is the most important factor, and if that communication cannot be achieved in a healthy manner, then it is best to just end the relationship BEFORE becoming unfaithful.  

So yes, the wife is "Despicable" for being unfaithful, as it is NEVER okay to cheat on an S.O.  She is also at fault for not communicating her unhappiness to the husband (I am assuming here, because again I have not played this game, and am only grasping at straws based on what has been posted so far)  She is also at fault for not ending the marriage before seeking comfort in another's arms.  Likewise, the Husband is at fault for not being attentive to his wife's needs, for not communicating with her and being apathetic to the signs of her unhappiness.  

The way you stated that it is 100% his fault for not paying attention is not only ignorant, but also wildly naïve and immature.  If this is truly how you feel, might I suggest therapy .  Seriously, because of the aggressiveness in your OP, it really shows you also have some issues with being able understand basic concepts of a healthy adult relationship.  As well as contradicting the point you are trying to make.

Briefly touching on the niece with emotional manipulation abilities. (Again, only grasping at straws here from information you provided)

If she truly does have some means of emotional manipulation, and is ACTIVELY using it, then yes.  She is at fault for forcing emotions and desires on a person without consent.  however, it is also the uncle's fault for acting on those desires, because based on evidence provided, her ability does not affect free will. so again, I would say the blame is a 50/50 spread and not the 100% one way or another as you have asserted it is.  Which I feel the need to point out again, also contradicts your initial argument about accepting blame where blame is due, and based upon those two assertations, suggests you have problems understanding the nuances of healthy relationships and live in a black and white world.  To which I again suggest you seek out some therapy. (In the most respectful way possible) 


You are clearly trying to psychoanalyze this WAY too much while not having the emotional faculties to do so in an unbiased and non-generalizing manner.  Which points to poor communication skills, immature logic and reasoning, radical generalization, and blatantly poor emotional comprehension.

Final note, this is a piece of fiction meant to broach subject matter that many consider to be taboo in an environment that is healthier than the real world, and as such certain material should be taken with a grain of salt.  You are not the author, and therefore have no say in the subject matter, the means of storytelling or plot devices used to tell the story.  If it's not your cup of tea, then just delete the game and move on, instead of making an inflammatory and aggressive post the drastically highlights your own insecurities and immaturity.  

Dr. Phil rant officially concluded lol


@Dev:

I apologize for my longwinded monologue, and the fact you have to deal with people like this, please don't let someone like this get to you, and keep telling your story however you choose to.


Have a great day

**Addendum**

I just realized the OP is over 190 days old.  Apologize for the thread necro

Okay so according to you, a wife should stay exclusive to her husband even if said husband pays no attention to her? And you call ME unrealistic, naive and ignorant?

By the way, you talk big game and you don't even understand the words you use.

For example: "unfaithful". You used this word. Wrongly. Do you even understand this word? Let's deconstruct it then.

un - faith - full

The core word is "faith". "faith" means "belief", that's why this word is mostly used by religions as religions are all about believing blindly without actual proof.

"full" designs an adjective, like "beautiful" means "full of beauty", "faithful" means "full of faith".

And "un" means "not".

So "unfaithfull" actually means "not full of faith".

So are you sure that's what you actually meant when you used this word, you wanted to express that cheating wives are not full of faith? Of course not, that's why I used the correct word that you meant instead: exclusive.

Now, you claim that I speak out of my own fantasy world and call me ignorant, which I find funny because you couldn't be more wrong since I speak from actual real life experience.

Let me explain, I am a man who pays attention to women.

And because I am caring, unsatisfied engaged women are attracted to me, because I give them what their so-called "significant other" is meant to give them and don't: attention.

To be clear, what I call "engaged women" is women in couple, being officially engaged, fiancee, married, or not. Without or with children.

It always starts the same, they start complaining about their poor love(less)life, then they notice that I don't hear them out out of courtesy, I actually care and try my best to advise them to improve their life, as I always do since I think it is pointless to complain if we don't do our best to change what we dislike.

And this is exactly what they crave because their so-called S.O, actually scratch that, I don't like this choice of words, I will say "lover" instead, so this is exactly what they crave because their so-called lover deny it to them: attention, care, sympathy, affection, a sense of self-esteem, a belief that they actually are worth paying attention to, among other needs.

So they eventually fall in love with me because I make them feel appreciated, and not because I manipulate them but because I can see their qualities that their so-called lover misses and actually appreciate them and let them know that they are worth more that what they were made to believe.

I don't feel any guilt to say that I am a man with who engaged women cheat on their oblivious unworthy so-called lover, they wouldn't need me if their so-called lover would already give them what they look for from me so why would I feel guilty that women cheat on their so-called lovers with me and why would I blame these abandoned women if these unsatisfying so-called lovers basically push them into my welcoming arms?

They would not NEED me if they were not starved by their uncaring so-called lovers now would they?

So you think engaged women whose their so-called lover don't appreciate them SHOULD remain loyal unconditionally and you call ME unrealistic, acting all mighty as if I spoke from a fantasy world?

You make me laugh.

Really, thinking that loyalty should be unconditional is WAY MORE a concept out of a fantasy world than my realistic approach of things.

Actually, I didn't want to bother replying to you since you posted almost 200 days ago and I ignored you...until the dumb-ass author who writes a visual novel to seek approval that he is not to blame to have abandoned his wife, for some reasons, praised your bullshit not even using his own words but using a Rick & Morty meme, not surprising all things considered since his visual novel is mostly nothing but an uninspired compilation of memes, quotes and references from other works, so of course he would use a meme to express himself.

The thing is, I forgot you until his today post got me a notification and drew me back here 200 days after I was done here.

So I read again to remind me what here is about, then I decided to answer to you after all, you can thank the author for digging up this topic for that.

Now I acknowledge that you still made valid points that I approve of, for instance, communication and ending unsatisfying relationships instead of cheating, I approve of.

And this is why you clearly are the one among us who lacks grasping of reality, because you don't seem to realize that people, even unsatisfied, hate to be alone, they rather cheat than end their relationship without being sure that they won't be left alone.

So they FIRST look for a new relationship, develop it, test it, make sure it is solid, BEFORE they end their current unsatisfying relationship and claim back their freedom.

That is, if there is no complication such as legal engagement and/or children.

You would be surprised how many women with children loved me but stubbornly chose to stay with the father of their children, not out of love for him, but because they feared their children's trauma if their parents separated, and so, even if I explained to them that living with parents who don't want to be together is way more traumatizing than living each on their own peacefully, you wouldn't believe how mothers are subjected to a real phobia of traumatizing their children if they separate from the father, that fear literally paralyze them, stops them from claiming their freedom and chance of happiness back!

But they still have needs to take care of, and they rather sneak and cheat, hoping they are not caught to save the illusion of a happy family for their children than separate, I hate that but that's how it is.

I have much experience with married women with children to know exactly how they work.

That's why I don't put the blame on them, because I understand they wouldn't cheat if they didn't need to to begin with.

And they wouldn't need to cheat and risk their family if their husband satisfied them.

So yeah, I told it and I tell it again: If someone cheats, put yourself in their shoes and ask yourself WHY they cheated. Nobody risks to lose something precious for no reason. That is, IF there is something precious to care for. Then ask yourself not why they cheated but why they NEEDED to cheat. THEN you will understand what you are missing in your perception of reality.

And about communication, this is an activity who requires talking and listening. And usually, people who cheat are people whose so-called "significant other" doesn't listen to them.

In this visual novel, do you think the wife who cheated never tried to tell her husband that she needs hims, that his family needs him.

How many times do you think he bluntly answered "Not now, I am busy." before she cheated on him?

You talk about what is right, what is wrong, what is good, what is bad, and this is why you are way more immature than I am.

I especially love how you claimed that I live in a black and white world while you are the one claiming what is "right" and what is "wrong". 😏

The wise question is not "What is right? What is wrong? What is good? What is bad?", a wiser question is "Why do people do what they do? What are their motivations? What do they want? What do they need?".

As long as you keep talking with subjective concepts such as "right", "wrong", "good", "evil" and don't try to think objectively, not with subjective moral concepts but with objective logical reasoning, then you are still a naive kid and really are in no position to tell anyone what is "wrong" and what is "right".

You have a right to express your personal perception such as "I don't like it, it makes me feel wrong." but why do you think you have a right to claim what should feel wrong for everyone? See? Unwise you are.

You suggested me therapy, which is a completely irrelevant suggestion, then allow me to suggest you an actual relevant advice: Experience real life before preaching your ideals as if they were the way of real world.

And please, spare me your fake "respect" because your condescension, when you talk with no actual grasp of reality, makes you to appear a fool, so you don't need to pretend that you are respectful while throwing pathetic insult after pathetic insult at me, which don't phase me since they are irrelevant anyway.

Now, you claim that if the niece uses her powers of emotions manipulation then she is to blame, right? But you don't ask WHY the author designed her with these powers of emotions manipulation, which was my subject, so once more, you missed the point.

I suggested that the author designed her with powers of emotions manipulations to serve the purpose of blame her if her uncle feels attracted to her, since everything in this visual novel is designed to not stain the immaculate innocent irreproachable saint protagonist who is a victim of everyone's deeds and never take full responsibility for anything.

Which brings me back to you, author, instead of designing uninspired fictions full of cheesy dialogues destined to your (ex-)wife all the while keeping blaming her to seek approval from readers that you are a victim, you would better use your time to write a mail to her to beg her for forgiveness for having abandoned her and your family when they needed you and you didn't care.

And if you felt so much attracted to your niece that you designed her fictional alter-ego with supernatural powers to justify she attracted you, then fuck her (if she really wants) and assume your desires (IF they are reciprocal, don't even think about putting the blame on me if you abuse someone!).

In any case, stop wasting our time with your uninspired fiction designed to make you feel better with our approval and act in your real life to make things "right" as your immature advocate would say, and if you still want to design fiction, then actually think about what you would like to communicate WITH YOUR OWN WORDS instead of blandly assembling memes, quotes and references to other works so much that once they are removed, nothing much is left in your work.

In order to inspire people, you HAVE TO be inspired yourself first.

And instead of applauding people who defend you, learn to use critics to improve yourself.

If people merely say they don't like your work because, no reason, they don't explain why they dislike, then sure, they are useless critics.

BUT! When people bother to EXPLAIN WHY they dislike your work and they point out valid points, then use these critics to learn to improve yourself instead of dumbly applauding other people who merely shit on justified critics with no actual valid counter-argument because you won't evolve this way and will stagnate.
