VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.13.3.4] [Eva Kiss]

[Deleted member 3320371]

My general takeaway is that this chapter isn't that focused on advancing the story forward, as there was a lot of that in Chapter 9. Instead, it fills in the details, consequences, and payoff of the major choices you've made up to this point, letting dramatic tensions simmer and foreshadowing events to come. Maybe that's why the chapter is titled "The Path We Follow".

Although some dramatic things do happen (see Axel at the club, etc.)

I think this is exactly what she was trying to do. The original title (which afaik was Doors and Cages or something) gives a similar idea. You’ve made a bunch of decisions and that opens a bunch of opportunities for Ian and Lena’s relationships, but in other ways they’re starting to become caged into certain paths.

I don’t think we’ve really had a chapter where we’re mostly dealing with consequences of our decisions and how it effects other characters (Ivy commentating on Ian and Cindy, Lena’s stalkfap, consequences for Holly based on what you’ve done, Axels different responses if Ian’s revealed his relationship with Lena etc.) I thought it was really cool tbh.

Fantasy / vengeance / villain / anti_hero / treason / crude / sacrifice = 6 points

Where do you find the points in the code? Are you opening a file via UnRen or just looking at the save file in notepad?

If you don't act like a cuck, you don't get cucked. That's on you bro

Even if i dont act like a cuck, whatever I do, I wont get the enjoyment like Axel or Jeremy is getting from girls by playing as Ian. The maledom, kinky, hardcore, netori content Jeremy is getting will never be able to match what Ian is getting. Sure, If you are a lover of romance, Ian is the best of all Male characters. But, if you take hardcore sexual kinks, I think cuck comes first for Ian.

Kek.
Insulting Ian in the ORS thread is like kicking a bee-hive of average Joes.
Everyone rolls out a hyperbole or a straw-man argument to try to knock what you said back down.
It'd be nice if people actually read the comments that are made and responded to them accordingly instead of just spouting random truisms like they are refuting anything.

Simply talking about content break-down. A LOT of the in game content allows for the cuckoldry fantasy. Ian is physically smaller/weaker than the other men as a design intent. He is decidedly middling in a lot of ways as a design intent. He gets funneled into very specific routes and doesn't get much limelight with the gals. Meanwhile Lena can fuck anything that moves while still being with him. He has what, around 40% fewer scenes than Lena and a bunch of the scenes on his route are just him watching Jeremy's conquests?

Sure he can also be played in a way that fulfills the self-insert fantasy of the average Joe overcoming their deficiencies, rising to the occasion, and making the best with the gifts God gave them ect. The game focuses on passion, romance, technique, and stamina as equalizers for him being average in other ways.

His story as a writer is pretty cool.

Doesn't change the content break-down or his design much though. Game is much more suitable for cuck Ian than it is for an empowered Ian.

What u have said is absolutely right. And to those, who are countering that Ian out perform jeremy in MMF in Allison is a "choice". Not the default scene. Jeremy can outperform also. So, over-all, atleast in sexual hardcore kinks, Jeremy is way more getting enjoyment and content like lots of hardcore fucking, being a active bull, known for his dick.. etc.. and axel too.

All Ian is best is either for romance or cuck. No middle ground. Whatever you do, you can't make Ian as a maledom, hardcore, kinky strong fucker like jeremy who is known for his dick and stealing girls from Ian. I still don't know why Ian is maintaining good friendship with jeremy. If its my real life, i should have left that guy long ago.

Only content with Minerva (female Boss?) is a saving grace for Ian.

That is true, but that also ends up with the design logic of EvaKiss and why I've for several times said it wasn't very enjoyable.

In GGGB, you can have so much fun because you don't give a fuck about any of those guys, you don't care if you cuck them. In one playthrougth you'll be the right girl for one of them, in the next girl you'll be the worst girl in that guy's life. Since you are playing as the Female Protagonist, you don't feel bad for the Average Joe that goes to Somalia.

In this game, EvaKiss decided "you are going to play a Male Character" just to make it so the content with him is subpar or jealousy inducing, when everyone prefers to be the Bull.

Everyone here that enjoys Jeremy and Axel content views that content self-inserting as Jeremy, Axel or Lena. So they enjoy it. What was the point of having a Male MC at that point?

EvaKiss just decided: "You can either have bad content and feel okay, or you can have good content and feel jealous. Either you completely ignore Ian and skip through all of his content to finally play Lena, or you are gonna have a bad time". That's kinda stupid, to be honest with y'all.

Just realized that by the time the next update rolls around (or maybe even the beta/final revisions that will be out soon) we'll finally get to see an Alison/Lena meetup.

Which is just great imo, gimme some of that sweet drama.

 

[harsha_26]

It took a day. The new chapter has been released for a day and all the crusty weirdos flooded back into this thread to complain about how their Ian jerks it to Jeremy and can't get it up or about how their Lena is a hypocrite slut.

I played Ian is a normal guy and Ian as a cuck guy, My only complaint is, Why cant Ian make Jeremy a cuck (alteast a unwilling cuck unlike Ian) instead by sending him the videos (whether he like it or not)? Why there isn't a route where we can make the jeremy life as hell? It is not fair at all. Please dont say making jeremy a cuck isn't a goal. There is space to create type of content but Eva never cared for that. Because her fanbase is more instrested in Ian's Romance & Lena's corruption than anything else.

Could someone tell me does this game have se sound effects? because looking at this changelog it looks like it might.

Indeed the game does have sound effects, including some moans and other sex noises during at least some lewd scenes.

 

[sztrb]

mc already got cucked by jeremy trying to smal talk the girl. fuck this im out

Perry is everyones one friend who was a cockblock.

Each characters plays his or her part in this story. Jeremy's part is as the horndog male that (some) girls just want to fuck. If you really want to cuck somebody as Ian, cuck Perry by sleeping with Emma (though Perry isn't in a relationship with Emma, he clearly has a major crush on her) and you can certainly cuck the hell out of Wade with Cindy. If Ian getting cuckolded bothers you, when you play as Lena don't take any interest in Jeremy. Seems pretty straightforward. And Ian can be a major chick magnet, too. His dick might not be as massive as Jeremy's, but he scores Allison, Emma, Cindy, etc etc and the don't just think he's awesome in bed, they also fall in love with him. With Jeremy they only want sex, if that. Sorry, I guess I just don't get what the problem is.

This was a nice long update, but I could already see the immense story branching that will be required of every update going forward. At least, the story still seems to be heading in good directions.

Fuck the love. Everyone who playing as Ian are not looking for love. I dont want it. My primary kinks are maledom, hardcore, bull, netori. Guys like Jeremy & Axel are best at it. I want to beat them in the above mentioned kinks, not at love. So, now tell me is it possible by Ian even atleast by future? Absolutely No. Yes, I can cuck perry and wade because those guys are weaker than Ian. Even then, Ian still cant make wade life as hell by sending videos or fucking cindy infront of him. This game is only for those who like Ian either as a romantic soul or a cuck boy. If players want something middle ground, they get it but it wont be enough compare to Jeremy's content. ian's saving grace is only content with minerva.

 

[RoxTheVile]

Is there a way we can make Lena into a proper dominant character? I want her on top no matter the person.

God you people are so fucking weird.
Ian can:
Cuck Wade
Cuck Minerva's husband
Essentially cuck every other character by fucking Lena assuming you don't play her like a whore
Constantly ignore Alison rawdog requests (which she secretly loves)
Outperform Jeremy, again assuming you don't play like a baby bitch

thanks!!!

wade you dumb fuck, you are going to lose cindy if you keep being a sad sack like that loser perry

 

[DS1Q]

Bruh, what people are complaining about Ian can do... Provided you actually play the game and not skip the dialogue.
We are I think halfway through the game, storytelling and character development can and has affected Ian.
Ian provided you play him properly goes from not being that confident in bed to slowly gaining enough confidence to outperform a character that's known for being a horndog and good at sex.
You also pretty much see that Axel is really fucking insecure and acts like a bitch when he sees Ian with Lena.
The entire playthrough depends solely on how you play and Ian can only go up or down depending on the playthrough

 

[dontcarewhateverno]

So far she can top Louise and Stan, with a just developing option to top Ian as one of many other route options with him. Louise and Stan's routes for that are much more straightforward. There may be a route for Robert there as well. No idea as I've never played past the first bar scene with him.
