The final canon end for chapter 12, if you replay that back you'll notice that to catch Hunter; were Sterling's actions bolder ? None of the women believed him till Lucia tagged along with Drew. To think Sterling would learn to maneuver all these plots that Hunter has set up since these are expected of Hunter, yet Sterling fails to do so even till the 2nd last update that tells us something about him, that he will never learn. It just shows that even when he had Hunter cornered he couldn't think through the Hunter may have a trick up his sleeve after bring through so much deception with the drugging and everything. It is his stupidity, not sure why you're defending it and not calling it as it is.

It's called drama. Darkest-before-the-dawn stuff, it's supposed to upset you a little. The protagonist is supposed to struggle, it's classic storytelling to set up the payoff at the end.

This game actually has a decently constructed plot, which might seem alien to you because so many adult games have stories that are absolute garbage that could've been written by 13-year-olds. Watching another alpha-chad in an easy-mode power fantasy would've been super boring, and I'm glad we didn't get that.

Just remember: you have the privilege of knowing everything that's happening in the story, but Sterling does not, because he's only a character within the story. Try to imagine his perspective, without the advantage of your meta knowledge.

... or, how about this: write some specific "

" type scenarios for this game, so we can have fun discussing whether they would've worked. (Why didn't they just ride the eagles all the way to Mordor?)

Sterling has been struggling from the start, the growth spurt he had is his muscles and his dick size, his behavior and traits remained the same. When you call it a drama and say it's classic storytelling to set up the payoff at the end. We're near the end once the final version of game releases, it'll be interesting to see the payoff which you mention, because 12 chapters have been completed. It's not drama anymore when Sterling, which you refer to as the protagonist doesn't learn from his mistakes.

I have played games for both Non NTR and NTR genre and I'm not asking for another alpha-chad; just for him to learn from his mistakes and have the people who he loves to rely on him and who shows maturity as he is faced with similar situations like these before and to make sure that they're not repeated. These repetitive scenarios are boring; not actual character growth, which is absent.

So there will be no more last chance polls right?

There will still be more to come, up until the game releases. Usually he stops doing bonus stuff on the last month or two so he can focus on wrapping up a release.

It won? Damn it! Well, fuck this shit. I'm done with this game after this chapter. Well, maybe an epilogue, but then I'm finished with it.

Can't tell if you're joking. That's saying you're done with the game when it's done releasing lol.

makes me want to see sterling and drew team up. maybe a bad end where they team up to corrupt the girls together and make hunter watch or a what if where they work together to corrupt all the women in other households that hunter already corrupted and turn them all against hunter (finally taking down hunter's empire and leaving him with no income)

If you hadn't put the word "corrupt" in there, these would both be good ends in my book.
