After successful catching of the all hamsters (thanks for the tip), I am confused.

Was the Yui's personality inspired by some real person ? I mean that the main job of familiar is to support the partner and that, in turns, means at least some ability to stop the said partner when necessary. However the shown level of her submissiveness raises quite an amount of doubts in her abilities in this sense for me.

Damn it! Vertigo, what has you done?! ))) I have more than enough things to care IRL, but I am thinking about her personality instead....

Damn it! )))))

Yui's submissiveness is only that strong in a sexual context. Outside of it she is capable of reining in Aki if necessary. It's not really her main job, though. She's more of an aide and best friend, which, of course, includes stopping Aki if she's about to do stupid things.

Thinking about Yui's.. personality is not a bad way to distract yourself from IRL things. Could do a lot worse. :P

Your explanation perfectly match my understanding of their relationship. However, that is exactly why I've asked the question about her IRL prototype. Speaking directly, I have the doubts that such human does exist.

At the same time, I have too good self-control to be distracted by more trivial thoughts about VN's character. And "years of experience" to boot. Thus, I repeat myself and others here, that CH is the novel at first, visual at second, and adult at third place only. And it is second to none!

Hmm, there's not really an IRL inspiration for Yui. I do think people like her do exist, though. Maybe not as pronounced, but then again, she is a fictional character that I made up. :P

Heh, thanks a lot. I do agree with that assessment, as it is how I view CH, too. The visuals are a tool to enhance the story I want to tell and the adult parts are the cherry on top because adult content is like spices to a good dish - it enhances what is already there and shouldn't be the whole base of a dish. :)

On completely unrelated note, some bug-report like things:

The more I play, the more I am annoyed by "there's" in plural context, i.e. instead of "there are" or "there were". I am quite surprised with that, as the median level of English in CH is extremely high.
When Miko and MC hug after his first proper visit to Mariko, the emblem of class C suddenly appear at MC jacket (attached). Is it a bug or an easter egg ?
Strictly speaking this is not a bug, but we see Mana in 3 different outfits (first meet with MC, after the fight in the school, and first MC's visit as guest) before she go shopping with dragon-lady.

Yes, I've started from the very beginning again (5th time, I guess), as it is impossible to hunt all hamsters and collect full image gallery during the single run )) Damn it!!!

1. Yeah, I'm aware of this. It's a bad habit I picked up from some native speakers. Given that there is no neutral narration but only interpersonal dialogue and some internal monologuing, however, I'm not too worried about fixing it, because there are people who talk like that. It's technically wrong as of right now but eh. I've come to not worry too much about these technicalities. Because if we go there, the majority of native English speakers funks up a bunch (not using "me/I" correctly, for example).
Also, if I were to write everything perfectly clean, the dialogue would lose a lot of its charm and the distinctions between the characters' "voices" would become way less apparent, because some of the mistakes or bad habits are actually on purpose. Not the one you mentioned, though. That one's just a bad habit of mine. :P

2. It's an oversight on my part but I've known about it for a long time by now. At this point it has almost become somewhat of an Easter egg because I haven't fixed it yet (nor do I intend to fix it anytime soon).

3. That's alright. It's just two different outfits (fight in school and first visit are the same). The one she wearing during her first meet with MC is her everyday outfit and the other one is a jacket and a pair of shorts she's gotten from Reina.

True, the gallery is not possible to fill completely in one run without rolling back. :P
Have fun with your 5th run!

Damn it! You are right about Mana)) There are only two, but different light conditions make the dragon's one looks like two different.

About the 5-th run... Well, taking your cruelty and craftiness into account, I am pretty sure that in some moment of future there will be 6-th and 7-th.

VertigoAVN2 years ago

Hehe. Have fun with any future runs you do! :)
