Not giving me the option to burn the kingdom down and using the stone to summon monsters is definitely an L moment.
Despite playing the whole thing I gotta admit, NTR is definitely not my fetish, hidden sex is 10/10 but I get too heated when the female lead starts making excuses lol, need a Regicide ending too who cares if I don't have an engraving, I'm 90% sure a lot of people in this country want a revolution anyway.
Robert was a neat MC though aside from all that though seeing him kinda do the detective work and come to the conclusion of what happened was pretty somber, killed any sexual excitement I had.
That being said, even though I got emotionally invested like a dumbass, the game story itself was pretty disappointing the more I think about it but oh well. NTR stories are hardly well written since most characters getting cucked wouldn't have it happen if anyone in it used their head for 5 minutes.
I completely agree with you. Aside from the fact that Arieno falling for guys like Raymond and Carlo contradicts her initial characterization—since she despises their type—it’s also clear that if Robert had been more proactive and checked in on Arieno, things would have played out differently.
Arieno hasn’t forgotten Raymond and is actively trying to hide the fact that she received the engraving. In my opinion, if things had been handled properly, Raymond should never have been able to lay a finger on her.
Even though Arieno is sexually sensitive, she never slept with Robert. And while Raymond has experience, she knows he’s just a sleazebag who only goes after women in relationships. If he noticed that Arieno was getting too attached, he should have backed off. Maybe that’s why she later turns to Carlo—who, without it being made completely clear, becomes the one she has a child with. She ends up staying with him as a concubine, seemingly just to spite Robert, and under Carlo’s orders, she humiliates Robert. At this point, it’s completely out of character and no longer the Arieno we knew at the beginning of the story.
What really frustrates me is that, in these types of games, the scumbags always seem to have the best lives and the happiest endings. Meanwhile, the so-called "happy ending" for the MC isn’t even worth considering because it’s absolute garbage.
If Arieno was really in heat, why not just go to Robert instead? After all, with enough time together in bed, he could have become good at it—after all, practice makes perfect. Who knows, she might have even enjoyed being the one to take his virginity.
But since this is an NTR game, the NTR scenario feels forced. I would have preferred a
non-NTR game that still included around 70% NTR elements—that would have been a much better approach in my opinion.
It’s a shame the game ended up being so rushed because Arieno is honestly a really beautiful character.
