So it seems the dust has settles a bit after the last update. As
AB Software is still in the house I would also give my 2 cents about it.
Luna is still among my top ten hottest MCs on this site. So this one is actually so important to me that I feel I have to make a comment about the last update because I did not see it being brought up:
I think the way the story in this update was told is not good.
We start with a pretty good scene, then LORE, then the scene continues.
Then the story continues until we get to the club. The 2 Futas start to get on to Luna, then LORE some dude with guns in a car with some weird Mambojambo while I sit there with my dick out being totally ready for the action. My brain simply was not able to comprehend in that moment what was going on, because it was in a totally different mindset.
I have read from a few people that they just skipped through the worldbuilding or that they don´t like it or whatever. I personnaly think that this is caused by the how these scenes are structured. I perfectly understand that you as dev have seen this scene hundreds of times and there is nothing hot for you. But think about how the story unfolds for us viewers.
Do you know the big shootout scene in Heat (with De Niro and Pacino)? It is one of my favorite scenes in any movies. But put it in a porn movie right after she blew him and before he is going to put it in her and you can be sure this scene would be nothing than an unwelcoming distraction to me and I would skip as fast as possible.
You did not use this kind of retarding element in the 1st update. I don´t think it works in porn at all and I also don´t know any other VN that uses it. It feels more to be punished with lore and story while progression should be a positive part of a novel.
My personal problem with this way of storytelling is that at this point I honestly had lost some confidence in your writitng so that during that whole 2nd scene the back of my brain alwas said "what if the next scene will be another unrelated distraction? What if the dude with the guns is shown again?" So I just could not let go and enjoy this fantastic scene as I should have. (And actually there was another distraction with the waitress entering in between which seemed completely unnecessary and drawn out in that moment to me).
I thought about commenting about the massacre as well. But that is completely a "me" problem whith this particular scene while imho the things I mentioned above adress a more broader issue in your writing that affected more people that watched this update.
Maybe I could at least give you a little food for thought as the initial update to me was 100% fantastic. English is not my 1st language so I hope I could get my point across and apologies for too much rambling.
Cheers!
