So, let me get this strait... The MC travels to another world possibly all of it in his imagination. Brings his religion to the people of this world, and sees nothing wrong when the people start murdering all those who will not convert. Then upon having the slightest bit of intimate contact with his only friend goes into a fit of religion induced guilt and outs said friend to the people who were murdering others for being different. How vile!
I enjoyed the smoke room! I would expect lots of nsfw scenes from a story where the main character is a literal whore... Perhaps consider that maybe a story about a male prostitute just isn't a story that's meant for you?
But not to get side tracked, unless the main characters are ace then having no sex scenes, to me just makes it feel more like awkward friend zone story rather than a romance.
Not trying to be insulting this is an honest question. Are you ace? I'm asking because you don't seem to know what nsfw adds to a story that is labeled as romance.
To answer your question what it brings to me is the consummation of the relationship for the characters involved.
Oh man I remember reading this so long ago, I had to start again from the beginning, and I really enjoyed the new stuff! Now my watch for the next update begins!
I also swooned for Rhyss, but couldn't get past his official title 'Director of internal affairs' nope, that's the kind of title for someone who is called in to make problems vanish. x3
I do understand that you must do what is best for you, and I hold no grudge nor make any demands for change on your part... I just needed to express my dislike for the content filter.
Ouch the content filter is going to make this feel less like a romance and more like an awkward friend zone slice of life story, well... to me anyway... Still I'd like to thank the author for entertaining me even if I'm grieving over potentially never getting the scene with Marrowyn I've been waiting years for. :(
I love this VN! I’m really looking forward to reading #8!
So here are some things I need to talk about, but first I want to state this is not meant to be critical towards the author, I think they’ve done amazing work in that they made me feel things for the characters they’ve brought to life. I do not see the things I’m pointing out as errors in the story, but to the contrary they make the story feel more real to me, the flaws I will point out are in fact flaws real people and organizations do actually have.
Spoilers below!
OK to start off I think Lucian is way too hard on himself, and nearly all of the criticism he gets from others seems totally unfair and often counterproductive, further more what’s worse is that he instantly agrees with much of it. I think a lot of people can really feel for him in this aspect.
Next is the incompetent leaders Catherine, James, and Astor. Why would I call them incompetent?
Well as a group, upon encountering something out of the ordinary instead of conducting a weeks or months long covert investigation to determine what potential connections and contacts a subject might have they blunder forth by abducting, drugging, torturing, and threatening our dear Lucian. After subjecting him to harsh interrogation, and coming up empty handed they still view themselves as justified and righteous in their outrageous actions and giving Lucian unreasonable commands that no sane person would obey. I’d have tried to run too Lucian! Then they physically assault him again when he does what anyone would do in the face of what he experienced, and force him to endure another interrogation as well as witness the interrogation of his ex and after this is all said and done they expect to just conscript him and have him play nice with their organization. Their incompetence is further amplified when they discover Lucian’s unique ability to accelerate the development of powers in other individuals and instead of protecting and appropriately deploying such a valuable asset as a recruitment officer they set him on a path to become a front line solider where he could be killed or captured while simultaneously ignoring the justified protests of our super cute fox boy!
Although post apocalyptic I think they did a good job of portraying that the world has to an extent been rebuilt... They even have teleports and stuffs.
When it comes to the AI thing I just don't know where or if a line should be drawn. Ultimately it is a tool, and like any tool it can be misused. How ever if we shun the use of AI all together should we also shun tools like spell check?
All I see coming from railing against AI is the wrongful persecution of authors and artists who don't even use it by internet trolls who will rile up the masses with false accusations.
That being said you shouldn't feel inferior to the AI writing tool, and don't fear imperfections in your work for they will show your humanity. You don't want characters that speak with perfect grammar all the time in every situation, it makes them feel less real.
I'll throw no stones at those who choose to use AI, but I will encourage everyone to make every effort to embrace their own creativity errors and all.
A lot of stables went out of business when the automobile was invented, does that mean there aren't any stables now in the modern era?
It might mean little for a stranger to say this, but I've enjoyed what you've written so far of Light My Way and look forward to reading more.
Remember that your works will be valued by others simply because you took the time to tell us a story. When you write something, and share it on the internet a piece of your creativity is preserved there forever.
