A case of Stockholm Syndrome, I see. I'd prefer the phrase "slowly taming his captor". I guess I'll check it out later
Oh wait you're the author of OIHS, nevermind then

So, your complaint is that the main character isn't a dominant top? I can respect that.
Although Orange does technically have the right to write his VNs however he wants, and since they're passion projects, he's not really required to write it the way readers want.
I will say though, there are a few Visual Novels in which the MC is a top. But dominant? Yeah, that's in like 10 VNs max (out of 60 or so), and most of them are because they're route based romance VNs, so of course there are submissive dateable characters. All that to say I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you for characters to be dom tops in VNs. But that's just my opinion
It is quite strange that you have already discerned the entire plot when the story hasn't even told us anything remotely sexual about either character. While it is highly likely the prince will be submissive, who's to say the big guy doesn't like having his ponytail grabbed while having his cheeks clapped? At the end of the day it is the story that the dev wants to tell! Nothing wrong with constructive criticism but simply venting crap like I won't read it bcuz you're not making the character a top isn't remotely constructive!
One of the best VNs I've read is Remember the Flowers and admittedly I was apprehensive about reading it the second it announced the MC was asexual but I gave it a shot and they did not disappoint. I didn't attack the dev for not making the character I wanted. I took it as the story the dev wanted to tell.
Often times these stories are influenced by the patrons anyway. Many devs have polls which allow their supporters to influence things in the story. You're scrutinizing a project you've contributed $0 towards like they charged you for it, Karen! Being dominant might get you what you want in bed(doubtful 😑) but at the end of the day it is probably 80% boss bottom bitches paying the $5 or $10 subs.
You needn't respond to this by the way. I have no patreon account that requires your coin and your opinion means far less than that to me. This post, as yours was, is just meaningless thoughts spoken to express my distaste of your idea that this world or any other would cater to such a person as you. I'll even assist your cause and make your lil ego feel a whole 4 inches tall by giving this comment it's first dislike 😋. Aren't I the sweetest?
Out of respect for Orange I shall try and post a less "vitriolic" response. Please stop posting "I will abandon it like I did OIHS" as your comments in this chat. Many creators read comments here and become disheartened by what is read. I hate seeing projects fall into perpetual hiatus due to a few bad remarks.
My phone is cluttered with untold stories that end due to the creators seeking therapy over a handful of discontented assholes. Orange is one of the more reliable devs and consistently puts out content monthly. I don't want OIHS and TSP to join the untold ranks bcuz everyone feels the need to attack them. These are offered freely and don't deserve an "I hate your work" from every person who disagrees with the devs choices.
I'd hate for my jargon to affect the VN negatively, but I am half vitriolic on my father's side and I still like the hate so keep it comin bitches😋! At least it means you pendejos are reading it all!🤣
Actually I didn't assume anything, it was just a question. I don't demand my prefered content trying to force him. Every dev knows that his/her product won't be liked by all the players. I'm not a hater of his work. That is not for me doesn't mean that I don't respect it. I just want to know if, for me, worths it to follow this project. Luckly a lot of players will enjoy this game; maybe I will or maybe I wont.
While I'm sorry that you feel that way, I do not regret the things stated. I enjoy criticism that serves to help grow but comments like theirs just feel like bullying to change the narrative. I don't see threatening to quit or expressing discontentment of OIHS as a way of building TSP up but rather fast tracking it to VN purgatory.
As someone who also strongly prefers to play as a dom top in VNs that allow you to choose your own position I can empathize with your claim. I do feel that a very large portion of these bara / furry VNs focus heavily on the player being bottom and / or submissive, and it has been frustrating trying to find something that fits my taste.
That being said, however, as the dev has pointed out, this game and his previous project are two very different games. So maybe give it a bit of time before jumping into the conclusion that there are definitely not going to be anything you like?
