I wanted to give this game another try but I just completely got detached in that introduction exposition again. It's so unavoidably shit and if you skip it the game expects you to give a shit about all these characters it took a thesis' length to explain. What a terrible start dude. First time writing?

What a terribly rude way to phrase a critique. First time interacting with humans?

This started out okay. The whole "He died jerking off" has been done to death but it levelled out once MC was in the new world.
But he becomes an abject retard around chapter 7 and even moreso when he meets Lunar. He completely loses situational awareness and has a full on autistic fit.
You had okay writing for a bit just for it to fall apart.
He was contemplative but not overbearing, and nothing felt too heavy. Then he becomes a horny monster that screeches when he sees someone with cat ears? Come on.

Sorry to hear you didn't have a great experience!
It seems like you prefer serious and mature protagonists.
If that's the case, this game might not be for you. It's written in a comedy style with a main character who's pretty perverted and over-the-top.
The reason I wrote a character like this is because I felt like there were already too many serious protagonists out there, so I wanted something funny with interesting situations caused by the MC.
Maybe I'm not keeping up with the trends, but oh well, I'll just write what I like :(



Edit:
Oh, and one more thing: MC always knows when to joke around and when to be serious. If you've read up to Chapter 9, you'll see that when he's being humorous, he can be a horny monster, but when it's time to be serious, he becomes a dignified and powerful marquis.

That's also how I'll continue writing moving forward. The moments that need humor will be funny, and the moments that require seriousness will be treated seriously!

People have different tastes is all I am reading from the comments here, personally this story is great and the humor is on point and while the H scenes for now are not in the high numbers the ones there are done rather well as well. It's not just a simple 10 second scene and then onto the next girl.

A small question for you please, you're the first person to have taken the trouble to hide the text when activating the “Clipboard voicing” function, which is a real pain to display in the top left-hand corner.
I wanted to know if this is complicated to do or not, because I'd like to do it for all the games i play!
In any case, thanks for doing it for your game :D
Thanks in advance for your reply :)

Ah, it's really simple :)

Just copy the "hide_clipboard_voicing_enabled.rpy" file from the "game/scripts" folder and paste it into the "game/" folder of the game you're playing. Then, just launch the game, and it should work.

I'm not entirely sure if it works well with games built on Ren'Py 7.x, but I believe it should work fine with Ren'Py 8.x.

I just remembered that the file I'm using is a modified version I updated to accommodate changes in the latest Ren'Py versions.

I've attached an older version that works well with games using an older Ren'Py engine. If the file from my game/ folder doesn't work, try the following:
- Close the game.
- Delete that file along with the generated .rpyc file (you'll need to delete both hide_clipboard_voicing_enabled.rpy and hide_clipboard_voicing_enabled.rpyc).
- Copy the attached file into the game/ folder and try again.

You should use this new file, as it will work for most games. If it doesn't work, then try the hide_clipboard_voicing_enabled.rpy file from my game.

There is nothing wrong with having a bit of humor in the game. A well placed joke or a humorous situation may be a good way to make people laugh or to ease the mood of too dark motives. After all, life isn't always serious and people do joke around, but sometimes jokes simply don't land.

Turning MC into retarded and perverted weeb, because he saw a bit of furry ears, wasn't funny in my opinion. It was simply embarrassing. Sure, one bad joke wouldn't be too much of a problem, but MC acting like retarded and perverted weeb was dragged on for like 85% of the chapter 9. Certainly it wasn't something I expected to read and see. Especially not when MC was shown as a bit intelligent man, even if somewhat lost and horny.

I think you're taking this way too seriously, bro. You sound like someone playing with the mindset that humor should only appear occasionally, at just the right moments, to give players a break—never too much, because too much would be ridiculous.


Maybe it's just a cultural difference… perhaps. In my country, hardly anyone questions the MC being pervy or goofy. This is a comedy game, and for it to be funny, characters have to do silly things. You can't expect them to just frown, be all serious, and act completely logically. That wouldn't be much of a comedy, would it? :D

Hm... How should I explain this? There's something called "comedy logic". It's just like how adult game logic works.

When you play an adult game, you never ask questions like:
- Why does this female character so easily sleep with the MC?
- Why does she fall in love with him right after meeting him?
- Why is seducing girls so easy—just talk to them three times, and boom, you're in bed?
- Why does she act like it's nothing when the MC is already in a relationship with two other girls?
- How is he able to have a completely peaceful harem in a modern setting?

No one asks these questions, right? Because if someone does, the answer will be: "Dude, why are you taking this so seriously? It's an adult game!"

The same applies to comedy logic. People who are familiar with comedy never question why the MC does something weird or acts like a complete idiot—because that's what makes it comedy. Characters do silly things to create funny situations.

In adult games, there are two types of logic: story logic and adult content logic. Similarly, in comedy, there are two types of logic: story logic and comedy logic. People who are familiar with the comedy genre don't nitpick the logic of comedic moments—they only question things when the absurdity breaks the main story's logic.

comedy should be funny he is just an idiot in that scene
Because you're taking this way too seriously!


You're probably thinking something like this: I'm from country X, and in our culture, this situation is ridiculous, stupid, and laughable. No one in my country would ever act like that! Jumping at a random girl just because she's cute? That's beyond dumb!


Sometimes, if you want to enjoy a comedy scene, you need to turn off your brain a little and stop overanalyzing everything with logic.


Or maybe the cultural gap is just too big—what's comedy to one person might seem dumb to another. If that's the case, well... I guess it is what it is.
