    This is my primary critique of female protagonist h-games that lock all their h-content behind failure states like losing combat. It puts the hentai at odds with the gameplay.

      i will never understand stuff that is just porn but worse, like all the anime with “fanservice”.
      Shit or jack off get off the pot, either make non-horny anime or go all in and make something people can enjoy both before and after post-nut clarity.

      Honestly, the ludonarrative parallels to the experience of a sub are impeccable. The label of “failure” is a reward in-and-of itself and tying it to the actual game experience of failure fills the same role as pain or bondage in BDSM. Yet, like a comic artist needing to learn how to draw well in order to be able to draw “messily” well, a sub has to learn how to navigate their sexual life with skill so they can learn to “fail” in new and more hot ways. The player enjoys their liberty and “competence” all the more knowing that at any point the game designer can yank the chain and make them eat dirt.
