VN Ren'Py Abandoned Nothing Is Forever [v0.7.3] [MrSilverLust]

[Turret]

Since my favourite girls are Lea, Jen and Olivia, this update was not bad, even if the Olivia path is extremly slowburn. But she is mega-cute when you finally kiss her.. Olivia´s paths can become really great, but for this there has to be substantial new stuff in the coming chapters.
Lea is another cutie and marriage material like Jen and Olivia. Her paths this update are setting up further developments.. But the bathroom fun in 7.1 was a hot scene, no matter if you are on Lea´s vanilla, her exhibitionism or her sharing path.
Jen is also a really nice girl, no matter if you are on her dom, sub or "medium" path.

I know Emma is a fan favourite, but for me the only way I can see a relationship with her is the normal boy/girlfriend situation(which seems to be possible but is nearly as slowburn as Olivia). I find neither her dom nor her sub path interesting. And the mental background of both characters on those paths not the best.

Kim occupies a special place for me in this game. It is a gutsy move making a possible LI who is "glad to be bad"! So I play her paths due to them being interesting in a certain way, but Kim is only relationship material for those characters being as much an a... as she is.

The other girls I see as friends and their paths do not interest me at all.

I've been playing this for more than an hour... when does something actually happen?

SO MUCH inane dialog:
How are you? okay. why did you come back here? a job. I really liked arguing with you. Me too you were the only one who could keep up. Yes you too. You are a feminist. Yes. You let your girlfriend boss you around. My friend thinks he's a playboy... UGH! I had to make a pot of coffee to start the second hour so I wouldn't fall asleep.

Is there a skip button you Five Star people used to get to something interesting? I used the Ctrl key to try to fast forward, but even that didn't really work. I had to tap the spacebar in between Ctrl presses. So lost.

I read the all the One * star reviews and they seem to be right on the mark. I think giving 3 Stars would be overly generous.

Chapter 1 is just introduction (aside the ending).
In chapter 2, MC starts making a move on several characters.
Chapter 3 starts most routes.
Chapter 4 is vacation and also the start for some character routes.
Chapter 5 and 6 have the highest content.

The game takes it time, its not an immediate fuckfest you may be used on other porn games. But it is far from chaste or limited on porn.

Same, I just finished the update on all 3 of my preferred girls, and I get the feeling that those giving a lukewarm reaction are primarily Deb and Emma fans.

While it wasn't a huge update (that'll be when 7 finishes or 8), it nicely progressed things with both Jen and Lea, further talks about future events I can't wait to see!

Does anyone know the song played during blowjob scene with Jen?

Edited: I actually found it easily at main menu.

Very much this! IMHO MrSilverLust now has the problem several other devs have with some fanatical fans of certain playstyles, who have very set views how the best path has to be.
It is quite telling that most of the critic boils down to "MC is not doormaty enough", "MC is too much of a doormat", "MC is too much a dom hear me roar type" and "MC is not enough dom hear me roar type". And it is a fact that most negative critic for this update comes from the fans of exactly just two LIs.

Well, I know the game isn't a harem, so the chances of me becoming interested are pretty low. In any case, could all maledom, femdom, netorare, swinging, BDSM, cheating, humiliation, spanking, group sex and multiple penetration be avoided?

Everything is avoidable

thanks for the reply.

A bit of a downer that olivia ends her relationship with her bf. I really wanted to cuck that dude.

Now the game has a much less conflict between the mc and his friend.

I hope that we get to cuck him with his new GF instead. That would be much appreciated, because it could lead to a rivalry between her and olivia.

Please mr silverlust, make it happen.

Great story. The part where the grandpa came by and supported his little girl for the chess tournament made me tear up. Not even sure why. Guess it's just proof the story is written really well?

Aight Imma butt in because people bitching about updates of VN games with multiple LIs really ticked me off. A VN with multiple love interests and reactive dialogue that takes all relationships into account with also 2 different paths on each LI is a gigantic task, Idek how folks got the idea that every update would be as quick as the earlier updates or that they would be bountiful in content for every girl every update. Every update the dialogue and relationship flags get more convoluted because more and more events happen. As more events happen, more flags should be created and checked for dialogue consistency. As time goes on it is to be expected for updates to reaaaally slow down. It will get to the point where some LIs will end up sidelined every update or so in favor of other plot relevant or more popular girls. It doesn't mean the route will be completely abandoned, it only means that you just have to wait longer.
To Patrons, it sucks if you subscribed out of your major interest on a unpopular LI (like, let's say Kim or Deb), but it's also not something unexpected. I'm not saying you should shill regardless if you get progress on your niche, actually, it'd make more sense to unsubscribe if you feel like you're not going to get what you want and just wait until progress has been made on your preferred girl to support again, or until the VN gets finished. No reason to be a jerk to the creator for writing the story as he sees fit.

Personally, I love NiF, it's fun to read. I can vouch for the maledom, cuckolding, sharing and some vanilla scenes that the scenewriting is hot. The characters are pretty amazing and one of them even feels novel in the Visual Novel experience. The wait right now is grueling, and painfully long which in turn makes what content we get seem like so little compared to the wait (imo probably a sign it should wrap up soon before it gets worse). But it is still a good and engaging story that is worth the wait for how well it's done. MrSilverLust if you're reading this, I wish you luck to finalize the story in a satisfying manner for both your readers/subscribers and to you. So far, it's been a fun ride. Keep up doing good work

THERE IS NO netorare, its false advertising... yet to see any so called netorare content in this game what so ever....

This site has a tag problem that was gonna supposedly be solved as we were supposed to get new tags that would help further differentiate games with more tags we lack but clearly need. Such as the Netorase tag that this game falls into. Netorase is all with consent from all parties involved which is untrue for Netorare so while you would be justified in feeling this way, there's nothing the dev can do about it since f95 still has many netorare variants fall under the same giant umbrella of the Netorare tag. Although I would argue there is netorare happening at one point in the game, it just doesn't happen to you specifically, and it's also not up in your face about it, I still wouldn't tag this VN with Netorare, but a character is indeed being cheated on without their consent or knowing.

There is cuckolding. And NTR is the closest tag that comes to cuckolding.

They don't look bad but is it just me or do these models look dated?

I didn't tag it with NTR myself, some mod added it, presumably due to some reporting. Personally, I wouldn't add it, but I've also just ignore it. The community should decide how to tag the games, not me.

Netorase is all with consent from all parties involved which is untrue for Netorare so while you would be justified in feeling this way, there's nothing the dev can do about it since f95 still has many netorare variants fall under the same giant umbrella of the Netorare tag.

There is cuckolding. And NTR is the closest tag that comes to cuckolding.

I, personally, disagree with this. Looking at the tags, netorase/cuckolding scenes in the game perfectly falls under the swinging tag, not the netorare one.

• Netorare [Designed to cause jealousy by having the romantic interest involved with someone other than the MC.]
• Swinging [A couple allowing one or both partners to have sex with a third party.]

So, there is a tag on F95 right for that content.

Although I would argue there is netorare happening at one point in the game, it just doesn't happen to you specifically, and it's also not up in your face about it, I still wouldn't tag this VN with Netorare, but a character is indeed being cheated on without their consent or knowing.

This further muddies the waters because what people call netorare and swinging in general, doesn't perfectly align with what the definitions are in F95. Here, the tag is just about an LI being with someone else than the MC, which excludes that situation.

For that case, I added the cheating tag, that perfectly fits the bill.

• Cheating [A significant other having sex with someone other than their partner.]

If I presented you these three tags:

• A [Designed to cause jealousy by having the romantic interest involved with someone other than the MC.]
• B [A couple allowing one or both partners to have sex with a third party.]
• C [A significant other having sex with someone other than their partner.]

It'd be a stretch to say any of the scenes with Lea, Kim, Deb, or Jen fall in the tag A.

And, funnily enough, it'd also be impossible to distinguish between B and C, unless you assume the C is behind the partner back, aka cheating. That's not in the definition, though. But it's the name of the tag, so let's assume so.

In that case, the scenes in the game would either be tag B, when the sharing is consensual;
or C, when it's not, but it's the MC cheating on the girl/ fucking a girl in a relationship with other guy (and not the MC being cheated on/being jealous - in that case it'd be, rightfully, tag A).

Perhaps you could make an argument that Deb, Kim and Olivia starting the game with a boyfriend other than the MC could fit in the tag A description. But that would be conceding that, any game that at some point has a girl in a relationship with someone other than the MC should be tagged with NTR. I've seen that argument being made, but I find it unreasonable.


Anyway, it's just a quirk of this particular tagging. And, to be fair, it's not an easy problem to fix, given how much people can get passionate about this topic. It should get better with the new system, though.

That being said, for all the discussions that this site has about NTR, I saw zero diference between having the tag or not, so, who cares? I'll certainly not start a fight about this. Sorry for those that came here and where misled by the tag... something tells me this wasn't the first time it happened.

I respectfully disagree... Emma is the perfect sub. She outwardly manifests an entirely different narrative but finally does everything you wish for. But once again, each to their own

Nah, Emma is a brat, a submissive subgenre (no pun intended) where the brat constantly tries to provoke the dom in order to be punished afterwards. I was into this when I was younger, but since I'm a parent, this is daily struggle. I find Emma exhausting....

 

[Blizzard2255]

Love the game, dev! My favorite update this week.

Olivia's content was quite cute. Can't help but root for her and the MC.

Emma's my favorite girl and I'm glad that the MC finally had a chance to declare his feelings for her, even if it made us lose a lewd scene. Hope for some content with her in the next update and the relationship path with her opens soon.

I wish I could take both the Sensitive and Neutral scenes with Bri in the shower and fuse them together into one scene. It would start Sensitive and finish Neutral.
