Oh yesss! Mala. What a totally hot body. I read it somewhere that her inspiration had been Jessie Chan. Hmmmm. I won't say what I wanted to say! However, I didn't like her affection profiles except the entry and first star images. They're the ones I always seem to click on and perv at when I'm reviewing my harem. I love the name 'Mala' too. I would love to see if she could emerge from her tortured need for BDSM like some form of cleansing discipline, so my motivation is the opposite of yours - I'm a romantic at heart. She'd be well down the track though for 5 stars. It is more probable that she'd come out in an entirely new form in a revival of the Dark Fantasies event so some of us might then get a chance to win her twice. She might even become the reward for completing the daily missions in the event which means she would have to be different. We had Maika last time and she didn't fit the theme all that well, I thought. Speaking of perversion. What about Gork? The perversion here would be among those who found her even remotely attractive.

Fairy's my pick too. Apart from her stats, what a cheeky little cutie she is already! Imagine her affection scenes. We might also discover her name and remember she's the only girl to date who actually blurted out that she thought she's in love with our hero. She's a more realistic early upgrade than Lupa for the simple reason that she's a world quest reward girl that every player would get once they advance far enough through the Magic Forest. Also, she's the next such girl after Samane and, being hardcore with reasonable battle stats already, she would balance things out quite nicely because hardcore players have been hard done by with the upgrades to date. Ankyo is hardcore, but her battle and defense stats aren't worth much, so we can forget about her. I haven't managed to win Lupa yet, but I could imagine some VERY hot 4 and 5 star affection scenes with her. Imagine being able to tickle her lovely titties to attention and play with that bushy wolf tail. Oh well, dreams are free. It seems Lupa's a hot favourite among a number of players and HH might be thinking about responding to our pleadings. But then again... She might be a money maker for HH from all the players buying kobans to try to win her in Epic Pachinko so there would be little incentive to bring her into event girl status - unless HH feel generous... Guys? Kinkoid? Ummm...

Merely another two scenes further on and I'm being stung for another 116,900. This time for a picnic basket - again to feed Eugenie's face. It's almost as if the artists and developers are having a bit of sadistic fun at our expense and would probably be laughing out loud that they got a reaction of the kind expressed in this post.

That's absolutely the opposite of what I said! As I put it, I implied that the artist who created Metal Noemy seems to be different from the artist who created Princess Noemy up to 3 stars and that the artist who created her 4 and 5 star images appears to be the same artist who created Metal Noemy. Further hints of different artists being used for one haremette is that of Bunny. The artist who created her for her first 3 affection stars is clearly different from the artist who originally created her next two affection stars, along with her later affection scenes (she was subsequently brought back closer to her form up to her third star in her 4 and 5 star profile images). The same applies to Juliette. There is little resemblance in her character and form between her original and later profile images and affection scenes. The upgraded images of Justine show the same characteristics of change suggesting a different artist. It is clear to me anyway that there are a number of artists who have been working on the same haremette, suggesting there is a team of artists - as one would expect. The challenge for them all is to be able to work consistently to faithfully maintain the character of each girl when she is upgraded. This is extremely important in my view. I look forward to seeing what Samane looks like now. In her original form she had a very distinctive appearance capturing the spiritual, other-worldly form of a shinigami.

Good thing in a way. She would skew the bias toward charm that much further.

Just to update on the Juy Sea to help make my earlier point... Only two scenes further on from the last demand for cash and I'm being stung for 116,900 for the cost of Eugenie's chicken meal in order to advance further. These costs were the second of many in order to advance through this world. Compared with other worlds, this is a grossly expensive one to advance through. I know I keep going on about it, but seriously, in fairness to players, it ought to be corrected. The appropriately named 'A Glutton's Tears' is the worst by far and fortunately it is second quest in.

I suspect you might be right. Samane is my beta girl behind Agate in my most advanced game with Secretary Rabbi as omega, but these latter two are very close in terms of attack power. I'm cringing already wondering how the heck I'll upgrade Samane to even 4 stars, despite the revamping of the upgrade calculations announced.

I know this is not what you guys may mean, but I have a suggestion for a completely new event girl, if Finalmecia could be involved in holding her to ransom. I'm referring to that gorgeous summoner with the maroon hair and lime green dress. Only trouble with having an event girl positioned so far in the game is that it's unfair to those less advanced who would never get a chance to get her. However, she would be in Epic Pachinko, presumably, so available for anyone with enough kobans to try for her.

I take your point about Abraël. However, to upgrade her is way beyond my reach, unless I get no new girls from now on. I assume you're referring to Samane. She was my alpha girl for this game until (with endless sacrifice and discipline) I managed to upgrade Agate to five stars. I seldom battle other dudes these days, but Red Battler even in normal form gave me little defense against attack compared with Agate. She disappeared off my team fairly fast, to be replaced by Agate (alpha), Samane (beta) and Clarisse (omega), although I've interchanged them from time to time. I can't wait to see Samane's upgrade (Thursday for me). I just hope I can afford to upgrade her. Noemy is languishing as I got her rather down the list, due to snaring some event girls before I got to her. If Samane can knock Agate off her perch, this would be a sight to see! I just might have to make the kind of sacrifice I had to make to fully upgrade Agate! In my hardcore game, I managed to fully upgrade Cupid Chan and she's impressive on my team, not up there with Bunny, but pretty good, even compared with Pelagie or Bonny. She was competing with Shao for a place (even with two stars) until I finally upgraded her.

No, sorry I didn't notice. I'll have to find out about this. Didn't know about a koban sell page.

Yes, that's a good point. In all her forms she's very specialised in know-how, just like Abrael is shit in anything but charm. I think that applies to all the haremettes that high very high values for certain specialties. Right now, in one game, I'm part way through the second quest in The Juy Sea and I've come to a brick wall. Oh what to do... Do I upgrade my girls or spend my hard-earned cash in advancing through the quests? I've encountered the first of the big expense items - 142,550 for a damn butt dildo for the spoilt and gluttonous Eugenie. This is the first of many of such expenses we have to pay if we want to advance even slightly through this world! The developers mucked up here and it's not fair, in my view. It is certainly not fair on know-how people. As for Metal Noemy, I can sure see your point. I love Gothic which is why Kalissa does things for me. Do you think the same artist who created Metal Noemy is the same one who did affection stars 4 and 5 for Princess Noemy? There is something about the eyes, eh. They have changed from being slightly startled and innocent to sultry and rather alluring.

Yes, that's a spoiler if ever I saw one. Going back to Metal Noemy, it seems like the artist who created her is the same one who created the two affection updates for Princess Noemy.

My regret was not getting Summer Red Battler in my most advanced game as I learned that her know-how battle stats are outstanding - AND she's hot. For me, Red battler is one who grew on me (Hari is another). I just didn't try hard enough for her. I didn't get any of the girls for the Summer Life event except Mountain Sophie. I'm still trying hard for Lupa, though and I've had a lot of luck in Epic Pachinko to date so I won't give up. She's just too gorgeous for words!

Oh, lucky you! This has been my worst ever event. I have all three girls, but only over a number of accounts. In one game I had nothing at all, including normal battle team girls, except Lola. I had a total of 6 legendary gift items drop, which is pretty good considering how valuable they are. With one day to go, I had to concentrate on getting cash to do upgrades, so I battled Finalmecia, even though I have all her girls now. Managed to have two legendary knickers drop though and these were very handy indeed to upgrade Noemy. I believe that there was definitely a change in probability of drops for this event because compared with Winter Chill, it was a total contrast. I adjusted the Winter Chill for the same length of time when Hari and her mother dropped. However, having said that (and noting my earlier comments that drops for me have been very patchy) I guess this wasn't my time because others have reported great success. I haven't been buying a recharge of combativity though (saving my kobans for Epic Pachinko instead) and I wonder if this has been the secret of the successes reported - more turns and the greater the likelihood of getting a girl over a short 7 day stint, even though the probability remains the same for each turn at battle.

Yes.

Really. Your profile couldn't have updated your harem then. In my harem, in Justine's final affection profile she's now covered in cum and she has a dopey, satisfied expression. Also, the second affection star profile image she's holding our hero's T-shirt (not some undefined garment) up to her chest and her eyes look more dreamy. In the base image, her head looks smaller in proportion to her body and her eyes look, well, even weirder, but not manic or possessive. The first affection star image is similar, but her head is again smaller in proportion to her body and her stance is slightly different. With Bunny, the character of her eyes has returned to the original and her hair is a little looser. I'd post the comparison images of Justine if it weren't a spoiler.

This does, however, mean an inconsistency of style because artists are different, unless particular artists work on the same affection star upgrades that did the originals. As an example, I'm pretty sure that the artist who did Bunny's and Juliette's affection 4 and 5 upgrade drawings and affection scenes was different from the one who did the original because they each look completely different. This is not important if maintaining the consistent character of each girl is considered unimportant, but I believe it is.

No you're not. I explained myself badly, and I thank you for making me aware of my shortcomings in articulate communication. I'll try to do better. While there are men who have no idea how to treat women properly, as I hinted in my bit about women who perplexingly go for rotten men and seem to want to be abused by them, I have personally met women in this category who treat gentle, respectful men with utter contempt and some even misread such respect these men show for them as a weakness they can exploit. Either that, or they are so used to being treated badly and abused that they goad these men in an attempt to have them abuse them in the only way they've come to know - sort of setting up a kind of test towards a self-fulfilling prophecy. Some are confused by the kind of notoriety some men have as male charm and power when they are nothing but psychopathic serial killers (Ted Bundy had gathered quite a harem of female followers, one of whom married him in prison while on trial for murder, and Richard Ramirez had a similarly beguiled feminine following). I simply cannot understand such women. Do they misread psychopathy for charm, libido and masculinity, or do they think they can rescue (then change) such men, like sweet little nurses? I've also come across women at conferences I have attended that gravitate to the powerful, influential men present and they completely ignored guys like me. There is a certain political leader at the moment who has just this kind of following of bimbo women who only know this way to survive and set themselves up in comfortable lifestyles - prostitutes in every way except the professional money transaction (at least whores are honest!). There are also a number of sexually attractive women I've met who use their sexuality to play around with guys' heads and they definitely do it for sport, hoping to lure a guy as far as paying attention to them and discarding them when they get the attention they were seeking in order to lure other guys. Some women in this category I've met genuinely hate men and set out to destroy their minds. At their worst, such women are often known as femme fatales. They might even denigrate the poor guy on the receiving end of their comparisons and games, setting out to utterly destroy his ego manipulating the new guy into joining in on the put-downs. Men who are good self-salesmen often do so with a good measure of unjustified narcissism and women who are drawn to them can become confused by such blatant self-promotion as meaning these men are powerful and have drive and ambition. Fortunately for me, I have been in a position to discover some genuinely beautiful, wise and gentle women who are also witty and funny and understand how to treat men with respect, and they have sure got me going in bed! One became my wife. Having said all that, I'm in the peculiar position of being both a feminist and misogynist at the same time. While I will go into bat for women who have been badly treated by men and unfairly treated by a hypocritical, patriarchal society and who in no way deserved such abuse and disrespect, I regard with utter contempt those women who have used their femininity and sex appeal in psychopathic ways, sucking guys in and spitting them out when their value has diminished for one second, or they no longer serve the purpose these women want of them. I hope this is a good, if lengthy, explanation of my beliefs. It would probably pay for me to end the discussion on my part now because I don't want to clutter the forum with a topic that must be of little interest to most members.

Cheers! Very philosophical. Yes some people moan an awful lot when things don't happen as they want in this game. Childish is the right description (but I shouldn't point the finger too hard I guess!). I'm thinking of creating my own game that broadens the scope for relationship-building - how females actually see things. It will be interesting to see how Lenaëlle is finally deflowered. She's a virgin. Just about every virgin I've known and talked to is very frightened when confronted by an erect cock that is aimed at her - understandably since this is a world of the scary unknown for them and it's a fairly insistent gesture, often coercive. Things change for girls when they are truly loved and (if you like) finally seduced, but it is from the point of view of their love for the guy and his for her - something built on trust, mutual respect and genuine affection for each other. It is a very big deal for most girls to commit to a sexual relationship. They often do it against their own better judgement because of peer pressure and pressure from boys and to belong in the group - the 'everyone does it' myth. These are the most powerful teenage yearnings. Babies can happen and it is usually the girl who carries the entire burden. Biologically she has to carry the physical burden alone and girls are instinctively attuned to this and how she can care for a baby that comes along. No wonder she wants to be sure before sex. Sure there are the sluts out there, absolute nymphos who crave cock, but they are rare (some even drip from their fannies in public - I've seen it! - and even from their nipples, so what is depicted in this game is sometimes true). But just listen to what I just called them... sluts - the double-standard misogyny of them all. And sadly, an awful lot of women and girls are attracted to absolute rotters of guys, those they know will treat them badly, get them up the duff and then just disappear once they find out. On the other hand, promiscuous guys are called studs, jocks and legends, not the admiring terms we reserve for their female counterparts. The trouble is games like this can normalise poor treatment and disrespect for women and this is why it's R18 I guess, but I'll bet a few peer-influenced teens with little world experience play this game. It's easy to lie about your age, and who's going to check? I don't know about kink, but mutually agreed kink is very sexy and erotic to an observer (even participant) like me. Maybe in the context of who mostly plays this game, how I have described healthy, loving relationships could be seen as very kinky indeed, certainly abnormal. Now, having said all this I love this game and I've become engrossed in it, but I'm aware it IS a game and the real world is not generally like it, at least from the point of view of sexual health and psychological wellbeing from a female perspective. But if we don't start to believe it's real and normal, we can really enjoy the fun of it and the excitement (for me anyway) of when random drops of girls occur. I have also genuinely laughed out loud at some of the humour in the stories and others in this household have wondered what the hell I'm on about!

Whew, what an ask! There are so many and it's hard to choose. However, if I was pushed to make a decision I would go for Fairy. She is such a character and cheeky, as well as being cute and pretty. She has the potential for being developed further in affection scene stories. Hari is another potential 5 star girl, in my view. She really came into her own in Winter Chill. I suspect she is meant to be quite young and thus has a lot of potential for character development.

That is a HUGE amount of work, even for speed sketchers! This game has encouraged me to have a look at my artwork done over the years: general character scenes of people, fashion design, female modelling, soft porn to slightly hardcore. It is often highly detailed and almost photographic in quality, but is from my head, not copied. I originally did them as a study of anatomy (bone, muscle structure, muscle movement, facial character and body language), but, when I found out I was quite good, my work sort of migrated to the porn side of things, the closet pervert that I must be (lol). They were started in pencil so I could correct mistakes, then finished in ballpoint pen(!). It took me over two hours each finished drawing, but I assume the HH artists would work MUCH faster, but the character of HH art is not traditional manga, apart from some individual girls, like Sailor Celsius. It is much more realistic and varied with many girls in adult proportions (like Commander Cattleman and Maika). The facial expressions, individual character and personality and body language are portrayed outstandingly in my opinion and the girls (and some guys) almost come to life. Great skill! All the same, it must take them quite a while to finish a collection for events, new girls and their associated affection scenes. Are there plans to do all the exclusive Pachinko girls too?

Yess! That did the trick. It's a very small wastebasket image partially camouflaged by the image artwork! I'd overlooked it until you pointed it out. I hope too many people had't seen it. Thanks so much.

OK ta! I'll try that

Nope, sorry. Didn't work, but I managed to remove another image I posted by mistake before posting it. I just right-clicked on the thumbnail below and selected delete, but it didn't work this time. Nor did using the delete button.

Yes quite. That member was being very cheeky!
