I'm sorry but i need to ask, I still haven't finished chapter 1, but is there a reason for Erik to be the way he is? I feel like it's a bit much. I don't know if it has been asked before, and I'm guessing he'll change a bit moving forward but still. I know there's like 90% of games here where the MC/Male Figure is way too overconfident, but I still feel like he's being a bit too annoying, in the way he's reacting to the whole situation. I know this might probably be an unpopular opinion...
He's simply shy. Also I tried to make it semi-realistic, because he wasn't just a brother but basically like a caretaker/father figure for his sister too and she's basically sacred for him. No one would just accept that kind of relationship from the get go (unless you are super fucked in the head like me lol, but I prefer a slow burn story so that's what I made). And don't worry, there's character development so he opens up later.

I didn't want my VN to have the usual male chad thundercock who fucks everything that moves from the start. I think what I crafted instead with Lyna being the centerpiece of the story is much more exciting, erotic and perverted...

Right, totally understand that. I like that there's at least a girl who takes the initiative, there's a lot of games who lack that. Guess I'm also "super fucked in the head" like you said (Not much people would jump to that opportunity I guess). I'm totally up for character development, but as a shy person irl I feel like he's too much of a denier? I guess? Since it's clear that he feels and thinks the same way as her but then acts like that. My opinion comes from me putting myself in the position of the male lead/female lead and having the chance to make my own choices in other VN's. But I understand what you mean, I'll keep following the story then, thanks for the reply.

While I think it'd be great for the aunt to join in the debauchery, I can understand why Ruykiru might be reluctant. I'm sure most of us have played games on here with lots of love interests and it usually leads to most relationships being shallow and undeveloped.

With a fixed protagonist like most avns, adding the aunt wouldn't be a big deal. The love interests generally don't ever meaningfully interact with each other, everything revolves around the main character. It'd just be one more relationship to establish then develop. Quick diagram I drew up to illustrate my point using Erik as the protag as an example. Each line representing a relationship.

Now look what happens if we add the aunt into the mix with this stories multiple protagonist structure.

It actually doubles the number of relationships if the aunt was added and treated as a main character like the current ones.

Theorycrafting Sinful Summer lmao, never thought I'd see that. Makes sense though, 3 new more lines in the 2nd case. I'm going for deeper relationships here yes, not the shallow one directional ones like the 1st case. That first example in AVNs usually still ends up with random threesomes somehow, with the mindless harem I dislike where the girls are only with each other because an MC, not because the relationship between them. (That's why I elaborate and pay attention to why Lyna develops sexual desires towards women too).

Congrats Dev, i´ll enjoy a good history focus in just 3 characters and not the classic harem. I discovered sometimes in that kind of histories i just skip some characters parts and it doesnt look realistic, everybody fucks with everybody, no jelousy, no realism. More work and effort, and less time to focus in the good parts.
