When the MC reveals themselves to suck, even if they appeared to be not suck at first. | |||||||||||||||||||||

I appreciate hscenes as a part of the characters' relationship development but just random hscenes (like in NTY) can get tiring very fast. In the past (early 2000s) most BL tended to use hscenes for shock value with ridiculous plot devices, but now a days the ratio of BL games with deep, psychological content is increasing which I consider to be a step in the right direction. | |||||||||
