- Ryen Saotome is the name of Renryuu Ascension's protagonist so unless Renryuu Ascension tells your personal story, which I seriously doubt, you are not Ryen Saotome and I will never call you this name. I don't know if you were the first to call yourself Ryen Saotome then you gave your name to the protagonist of your story or if you first created Ryen Saotome then you took his name for yourself but in any case, since you gave this name to someone else, you can no more use it for yourself, you have to choose a name for yourself and this time keep it for yourself. I won't call you someone else's name and I already know someone whose name is Ryen Saotome so I know you are not Ryen Saotome. So until you choose a new name for yourself, I'll keep calling you Naughty.

- After having experienced your last update and the big disappointment of Sandra's first time scene writing, I reached the conclusion that you already are no more able to achieve your initial project anyway as you really seem to not be aware that you are wasting it so no matter how much more you plan to do and how much longer you will take, you already failed Renryuu Ascension anyway. You have taken too long to achieve it, so long that you have lost your original inspiration and obviously don't know anymore where to go.  Now each update feels as if you continue Renryuu Ascension out of routine, I can't feel any more passion in your work, you seem to be tired of it and continue on auto-pilot.

- Your answer makes me seriously wonder if you even care to play your own game? As the creator, you are supposed to be the first player to experience your game, your first beta-tester is supposed to be yourself, and yet, you act as if you have no clue how playing your own game feels. If you think that a developer is not a player then you have it all wrong and that would actually explain a lot of your failures. Why did you start creating video games? Why did you dream of being a professional video games developer? Do you even remember your initial motives? Was it not because you loved to play video games and they inspired you so much that you wanted to share your own games with the other players? Did you not start as a player before wanting to be a developer? Why did you want to make Renryuu Ascension? Was it not because you wanted to play it? Did you not want to create your game in order to play it yourself before sharing it? Wasn't Renryuu Ascension the game that you dreamed to play? Then why do you keep talking as if a developer is not a player?!? Why do you keep repeating "I am the developer so I have no clue how it feels to be a player of my game"?!? You don't need any feedback from anyone else than yourself in order to know if your work is good or not. You only need to remember that you are a player before being a developer, that you started developing game because you wanted to play them and so do what you wanted to do, which is enjoy amazing games that you made yourself! This might actually be one other reason which lead you to such a disaster. You wanted to please everyone. Especially your patrons since they fund your work. You wanted to reward people who give you money so you paid special attention to what they liked in order to give them just that. So it was eventually your patrons who directed your project and you eventually became their employee, they paid you and you worked for them, this is why I told you that you can no more be an indie developer when you are funded by someone else. Being independent implies being independent in every aspect, including financially. In any case, you don't need to create something which pleases everyone, you only need to create something that you like, then once you share with everyone, people who understand your tastes and like the same will support you while people who don't share your tastes will not become fans of your work but this is not what matters because what truly matters is that you don't feel alone in the world, that you success to reach others who share your interests and make them want to support you. Earlier, I told you that you cannot use Ryen Saotome's name for yourself, and not only do you not deserve to use his name, but you also are unworthy to continue his story because you are only ruining him. Indeed, you created Ryen Saotome as a romantic pervert because it was what you were. You gave your personality to the central character of your world because he was what you dreamed to be and how you dreamed to inspire people. You started telling the story of a romantic pervert because you were just that, you were very interested in female bodies but at the same time you also were very interested in their heart, and this is why you created Ryen as the embodiment of what you dreamed to be and inspire people. However, you have changed along the way, maybe you have been disappointed with women or you have been influenced by someone or something else, I don't know your personal life so I don't know the cause of your change of heart, but I know that your way of looking at women has changed because you have changed Ryen's way of looking at women and I'm going to demonstrate it with accurate examples in your last update:

1) Sex is not just about "putting it in" and the original Ryen knew it. Indeed, the original Ryen enjoyed to prepare his lovers with foreplay. He used to hug, kiss, touch, grope, massage, fondle, caress, lick, finger, and he always paid attention to check if the woman was wet enough to welcome him before thrusting himself in, it was not his style to unceremoniously "put it in" right away without caring if the woman was ready or not. It has been a while since Ryen has prepared a lover before fucking her. Now he only knows how to put it in, he has lost all of his lover's skills and caring.

2) "Fuck me! Fuck meeeeeee! Fuuuuuuuuuuuck meeeeeeeeee!" Every female in your world has lost self-respect. Indeed, now every female in your world seems to only live to be fucked by Ryen no matter how. This is indeed the tasteless impression that your game made me feel for a while now. No matter how unceremoniously Ryen now treats women, they all are happy to be fucked by him and enjoy being treated as nothing more than cumdumps. The whole world has turned into nothing more than a brothel by now. Renryuu Ascension now feels like a game made for people who just want to jerk off in front of perverted CGs.

3) Writing too much to say nothing. Yeah, yeah, we got it, every vagina is wonderful, no need to repeat it every single time, that gets seriously annoying to always read the same repetitive things again and again. Too much repetitive description in your scenes, no more please! If you don't have anything special to mention about a vagina then just don't mention it! Repeating the same descriptions in every scene just shows how uninspired you have grown.

4) Ryen's motives to have sex have radically changed. Originally, Ryen enjoyed sex because he was fond of women and sex was his way to express this fondness. Indeed, he enjoyed to give love and attention to women because he was fond of women. He always wanted to please the woman to the best of his abilities. Now, he is awfully selfish. He doesn't care any more, he doesn't actually give attention nor love to women anymore, he only cares about his own selfish instincts and pleasure and doesn't give a shit to women's hearts anymore. When Ryen had sex with Lady Akira in the brothel, Akira told him that "It's been a long time since I felt so cherished by a man. I could feel it in every kiss and touch, that you truly care about me and my pleasure, not just your own. A rare sight nowadays. Now I can finally understand why you seem to be so successful with women.". Would she still say that as Ryen treats women now? Does Ryen still cherish women like he used to? Does he still truly care about women? Or is he now nothing but a selfish womanizer? Which reminds me of point 2, the only reason why Ryen is still so successful with women is because the creator of this story is a wicked mind who wants every woman to be nymphomaniac empty dolls with no self-respect nor dignity, he doesn't deserve his success anymore.

5) Ryen now aspires to be a blacksmith. Indeed, now all that Ryen seems to be interested in is to hammer pussies like a blacksmith who shapes his tools. Originally Ryen was a gentleman. No more. Ryen has really become a poor excuse of a man.

6) Ryen now treats women like sex toys. I know I already told it but this change of character is so important that I keep pointing it.

7) "Take my cum, you cumdump, take all of it!" is how Ryen thinks nowadays. This has not always been like that. Indeed, originally, Ryen came inside a woman because he wanted to give her a child. Now all that his dumb mind is able to think anymore is that he wants to fill bodies with his semen and this is no more motivated by his will to have children, now cumming inside women has become a marking process. Indeed, this is demonstrated with the wicked satisfaction that Ryen feels every time he enjoys seeing a female with his semen pouring of her like a rancher who enjoys seeing his mark on his cattle. Now when I play Renryuu Ascension, I feel like playing Pokemon. "Catch them all and make them all yours!" Actually, this is exactly what you have done with the monster girls. Attack monster girls, give them a beating, catch them in soul lanterns, then release them in farms and keep them in captivity like a zoo. And of course, they love being prisoners because, just like everybody in this world, their mind has been created by a wicked mind who wants to make all women empty dolls.

8) "I am your master, obey me, bitch!" Ryen is now an evil tyrant. Originally, Ryen was very considerate and respectful with women, he even didn't want to use his position as a king to bend them to his will. Well, that too has radically changed as now Ryen orders women around. "Do this." "Do that." "Do what I tell you!" All respect and consideration has left away, women are no more equals, they all are slaves to their male master. In short, Ryen Ascension started as a story about respectful and considerate relationships between a man and women and it has turned into a story about male domination over females, I rarely witnessed such a 180° turn around in a story . But again, usually people who want to tell a story don't take the chance to do it too slowly and forget what they wanted to tell.

9) "I feel blown away by your love" Ah! What a joke! Where do you feel any love in the way he is treating you? HE FUCKING DIDN'T EVEN KISS YOU! All that he wanted was to thrust his dick all the way inside you and unload his balls using you as his sextoy, there was not a trace of love in his way of treating you, you only say that because your dialogue is written by a sorry man who wants you to love being treated like a sextoy, this is the pathetic truth of your existence.

10) Women don't have a word to say on the topic of their pregnancy anymore. Indeed, the original sex scenes were accompanied with dialogues between Ryen and the woman about if they wanted to become a family or not and only if they confirmed they shared the same dream, they would completely offer them to each other, the woman would offer her womb and Ryen would offer his semen. No more. There is no more dialogue about the possibility of becoming a family. No one cares anymore. Now Ryen impregnates everyone without talking about it beforehand, there is no more meaningful dialogue between Ryen and women during sex, no more confirmation that they share the same dream of becoming a family, no one cares about consequences anymore, everyone has turned careless and irresponsible, you don't care anymore about what women want, you now only care about Ryen's selfish instincts.

11) "You speed up your thrusting again, hammering into Sandra's tight pussy without mercy for your inexperienced and tired lover." What is funny in this line of text is that you take care of specifically mentioning that Sandra is tired and we have no mercy for her, as if you really wanted to make us feel like jerks.

12) "Damn, she has returned to her room already, I was looking forward to fuck her a few more times in the morning..." Now this is the last straw which made me snap. Is he really not able to think about anything but fucking anymore?!? After having used Sandra so unceremoniously, he still planned to do it more?!? This is the line of text which made my patience blow up and made me think that Renryuu Ascension was no more what it used to be and that you are no more what you used to be. Let me tell you a story: After I discovered Renryuu Ascension and I did everything currently possible to do in the current build, I enjoyed being Ryen so much that I looked for other games which would make me live the adventures of such an admirable man. Renryuu Ascension was my first hentai RPG Maker experience, and after it, I found and experienced many other hentai RPG Maker games, but no one which made me feel so passionate as Renryuu Ascension did. And from the many hentai RPG Maker games that I experienced, one disgusted me so much that I picked a fight with its creators, gave them a link to Renryuu Ascension and suggested them to take example of how is made a worthy hentai RPG Maker game. Then the creators replied that Renryuu Ascension was no better than their game, that Ryen was just as much of a selfish jerk as their protagonist was, that he treated women just as badly as their own protagonist did. Then I kept defending Ryen, I told them that Ryen was a much more worthy man than their disgusting protagonist, that he genuinely cared about women's hearts as much as their bodies, and that you gave the player the freedom to make Ryen as they want him to be, you always gave the choice to be selfish or caring, contrary to them who forced everyone playing their game to be a selfish jerk. They kept pointing examples of Ryen's selfish actions, "he is an imposter, he usurped the throne of a kingdom under a fake identity", "he uses his position as king to order everyone around", "he is a slaver and a rapist", "he raped Kurohime in order to tame her and make her his bitch", "he raped Irlina and Lace", "he triggers wars with other countries", etc etc... and I kept defending him, counterargumenting, "yes, he usurped the throne and uses a fake identity, however he is not a fake king as he cares so much about his people and he takes so good care of them than Trey told him that he always knew that he was an imposter but he played along because if he didn't bring a new king to the castle then ambitious nobles would want to seize the throne and the country would have fallen into civil war because of them fighting each other for domination, and Ryen revealed to be a much worthier king than the original heir was going to be as Ryen genuinely cares about his people unlike the original heir who was selfish, to the point that Trey himself accepted Ryen as a true king", "when Ryen arrived in the castle, he didn't even care about his crown, actually, he doesn't even mention that he is a king when he meets people who are not related to the kingdom management, he has personally helped a lot of people all around the world and most of them are not aware of his position so he definitely doesn't use his position as a king to get privileges", "the player is indeed given the choice to rape and slave women, but only if he wants it, this is always optional, this is never forced on the player, unlike your game where the player is forced to be a selfish jerk, in Renryuu Ascension the player is given the path to be a gentleman", "when he captures Kurohime because she tried to assassinate him, he has several options to deal with her while she is his prisoner, the point is indeed to tame her, however there are more than one path to do it, he can pay attention to her health, her joy and her pleasure, take care of her and make her feel so good and happy than she eventually falls in love with him and wants to stay by his side or he can only pay attention to her obedience and break her will to make her his bitch, it is up to the player to deal with her as he wants", "there is indeed no good path for Lace and Irlina, the only options given currently are rape them and let them rot in a dungeon or don't rape them and let them rot in a dungeon, however I requested to the developer to propose a good path for them and he replied that I was not the first to request this, many players have requested this already and this is a priority on his to do list" (I feel so naive to have believed  and defended you now.), "I never was dragged in any war with other countries, it is quite the opposite, even though Begus is a very religious country and I am a demon, my first meeting with Begus has greatly pleased the general from Begus, the queen of Begus has relied on me, the demon king of a foreign country, to take back the control of Begus from the church's clutches, I have heartfully helped her to rise against the church who has been oppressing her and Begus, I have been so trustworthy to her that she has developed strong feelings towards me, to the point of wanting me to be the one to give her a heir, I uncovered a conspiracy in Amagal and helped the earl to stop the mad king, recognizing the earl as the official new king and becoming his ally (This was before the update when Varea challenged him and became the new queen.), I have developed so good relationships with Dorgania that their king has come to trust me so much that he proposed to sign a non-aggression pact in order to make sure that our countries will never be enemies that I obviously signed as well as a free-trade agreement between our countries, and he likes me so much that he even grants me special favors, like when I wanted to get a vampire out of prison and I went to personally request him his grace for the prisoner and he granted it "just for me" so I would say that our relationships are very friendly", etc etc... Each time that they tried to argue that Ryen was no better man than their own character, I countered, defending Ryen. Until I asked them a question: "How do you explain that when I am the one controlling Ryen, he is a gentleman who takes good care of everyone, a beloved king, and when you are the one controlling him, he is a selfish slaver rapist who triggers wars?". They never answered to that. This is why, after having defended Ryen's dignity as a gentleman, I feel so betrayed now that you have turned him into a selfish prick no better than the disgusting protagonist of their game! I expressed the disgust that being their character made me experience, I claimed how much worthier it was to be Ryen, I fought for the hero that I admired, I countered every each of their attempts to drag Ryen at the same low level of a man as their own protagonist, I demonstrated how much of a better developer you were, I suggested them to take inspiration from you, only for you to finally fail because you don't even remember what you originally wanted to create, you failed as a developer who is no more able to achieve what he started, you made me dream only to destroy your own dream, you have changed too much, you don't even remember what you were when you started, you have lost your inspiration, your passion, your dream, you direction, your purpose, you are now empty and all that you do is just as empty. Ryen is now empty, everyone in your world is now empty, your whole world is now empty, it is not worth praising anymore and I don't even have the heart to keep fighting for it as I have no more hope to save it, I have been too disappointed after putting so much of my spirit, heart and mind into it...
