Can someone remind me what the MC's master gift problem is? He mentions it a few times in the latest update, forgot what's it about.
Well I think from MC's perspective the problem is IIRC King Sev told him he has like a year to live or something.
From a narrative design standpoint, the problem is the devs introduced a cool concept (gaining magical powers by fucking magical girls) but then he's fucked several magical girls since and gained nothing. So it feels like maybe they decided to drop the entire mechanic, which is a damn shame.
Agreed! Not enough people give this game credit where it's due. Not only is Chestnut's art absolutely gorgeous, not only is there a lovely soundtrack and a great script with unique wonderful ladies to romance... it's also genuinely funny. It reminds me of a slightly less crass Leisure Suit Larry, if anyone else here is old enough to have played that one. Larry, like our MC, is kind of a hapless doofus who's endlessly horny for chicks way out of his league and winds up kind of bumbling his way into their panties rather than being the stereotypical strong muscular action hero that gets the girl.
WAL's MC is a lot more wholesome than Larry though, and I like how it's neither his brains nor his looks, nor even his colossal wang, but his good and kind heart that wins him love. Really a feelgood story through and through. There are tons of porn games and VN's where the themes revolve around humiliation, misogyny, hurt/torture, harems/bondage, and cruel and dominant MC's. It's refreshing to find a game that's as relentlessly horny as WAL but is still really about finding true love, and the MC never lets his hardon dictate terms to his heart (though it certainly overpowers his brain regularly, lol).
