I'm curious, how do all of your pcs look like in game?? Can we see all of your pcs in game vs how you draw them?
It was fun drawing them all together :D
I'd like to take this opportunity to tell more about my PCs and my gaming experience. There's a lot of text below.
First PC — Iris.
It's 2023, and I stumbled across some gorgeous artwork featuring Eden. I was curious about who he was and where he came from, and that's how I learned about DoL. I read all about Eden on DoLWiki, but that wasn't enough for me. I wanted to meet him in the game myself and experience all the events I'd read about. I downloaded the game and created a PC named Iris, planning to just hang out with Eden and that's it; the rest of the game's content didn't interest me (yeah, so how did that all end? I have six PCs and I still play DoL).
So, I created Iris. I decided to explore the city first, starting with the beach. When I got there, my classmates approached me, but I didn't run away from them, because what could possibly go wrong? ...these jerks threw Iris into the sea. And she got stuck there. Since Iris had zero exhibitionism, she couldn't go to the beach in wet clothes, and all I could do was swim back and forth, wondering what to do. But then Iris got attacked by eels. The whole thing pissed me off so much that I just closed the game and decided to never play it again lol.
A few days later, I finally returned to the game. I recreated Iris and this time, I headed straight to the forest. After a few encounters with wasps and wolves, I finally met Eden! At first, everything was great: Iris developed Stockholm syndrome, made Eden her LI, and was enjoying life with him. Until I started noticing something. Iris wanted to cook for Eden, but she couldn't because she had a low housekeeping skill. I wanted to seduce Eden while shooting a gun, and I succeeded, but Iris pushed Eden away at the last moment because she had a low promiscuity skill. And I realized that due to my low skills, I was missing out on content. So, I decided to restart the game and spend a year in the town before heading to Eden. During the year, I planned to improve my skills and maybe get more clothes.
And it was a lot of fun. I enjoyed exploring the world, collecting antiques, participating in events, leveling up my skills, and simply interacting with NPCs. I had a great time and really enjoyed the game. Honestly, I didn't even expect to like it so much.
A year later, Iris was sold to Eden (I'd already seen Eden kidnap her, so now I was curious to experience being sold to Eden) and became his pet-wife. This time, I was able to show off my advanced housekeeping skills, promiscuity, and indecent outfits. I enjoyed the content with Eden and was very pleased.
While I was hanging out in the town, Sydney caught my eye. I first met him when I came to help out at an adult shop lol. At first, Sydney seemed like a joke character to me: a guy who lives in such a lewd city, has a vulgar uninhibited father who wants to open a sex shop, and at the same time, Sidney is a religious man and horribly avoids anything depraved. So, I didn't take him seriously and didn't think much of him. But I continued to run into him periodically: he helped me at the library, we participated in the store opening, he saved Iris during her prayer for big bubas, we rehearsed a lot and performed together on stage, and he also had some secret history with Kylar, which really intrigued me. I gradually got to know Sydney better and better, and I began to like him. It was a slow burn (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)
When the new temple content was added - the ability to become a monk/nun, I decided to give it a try. Back then, I wasn't as interested in the temple as I am now, and Iris was just there to max out her housekeeping skills (there were no housekeeping classes back then). So, Iris passed the test and became a nun, but Sidney, despite failing, was still so genuinely happy for her. All his kindness to others, his care for Iris, even though they weren't close (looking at best friend Robin, who didn't help Iris in history class), and now his joy for her success ToT That was the last straw. I realized I liked Sidney and wanted to romance him, but I didn't want to use Iris to do it. Iris belonged to Eden, so I needed another PC.
Second PC - Lola.
I came up with the idea for Sydney's PC: a pure and faithful angel girl. Thanks to the Wiki, I already knew what I needed for an angelic TF, and I was worried it might take a while to get it, so I decided to unlock the "Daily Purity Boost," but it requires an angelic TF and a ton of VrelCoins. So, before creating Sydney's PC, I created a PC that would help me create her. I created Lola. She's bigenital because I've long been interested in trying out such a character, and thanks to that, I could get a virgin pregnancy, which gives a lot of VrelCoins. Basically, I explored pregnancy content with Lola, so she has a lot of children. She's the big mom of Doltown.
Even though she was created as a auxiliary PC, I really liked her and she's very dear to me. Also, I used to be indifferent to cow girls, but when I decided to get all TFs, and Lola was a cow on Remy's farm... I liked it. Being a cow on a farm... There's something about that. Iris was also on Remy's farm, but she quickly ran away before she could get the cow TF, while Lola spent a lot of time there. Of course, she didn't get Remy's Stockholm Syndrome because it doesn't exist in the game, but I did lol. In short, thanks to Lola, a new kink has been unlocked.
Third PC - Cornelia.
*A hundred-page essay about how much I love Sidney and how much fun it was spending time with him*
Fourth PC - Strawberry.
Cornelia was very pure and demure. I liked that, but I wanted some contrast. Something refreshing, hot, and spicy! So I created a new PC, Strawberry. Strawberry is my first and only male character, and with him I planned to explore things like crossdressing, ear slime, male pregnancy, parasitic pregnancy, and the demon TF. I can't say I liked the ear slime, but I really did like everything else. In the end, I enjoyed this PC even more than I expected.
Fifth PC - Noel.
I wanted to explore the fallen angel TF and corrupt Sydney, but I didn't want to use Cornelia for that, so I created Noel. Besides the above, I decided to try something else with her... Something I'd never tried before in DoL... I... I romanced Whitney. Ugh, I decided to give it a chance, maybe I'd like it? But I didn't. Even with his high love, that jerk did nothing but torment Noel. I heard about Whitney being able to come to the orphanage and talk to Bailey, about us being able to go to Whitney's house, and about Whitney taking PC to the hairdresser, but I got none of it. I swear, Whitney senses my insincere love, and that's why he just keeps tormenting Noel instead of doing anything good lol.
Sixth PC - Chelsea.
One time, I was playing with Strawberry's design, changing her hair color, horns, and wings. I liked one of the resulting designs, so I decided to base a new PC on it. Yeah, I just loved that design lol. Then I added flower tattoos, and they didn't turn out quite how I imagined, so I edited them. And when I looked at the finished PC, its design reminded me of my favorite mug (lmao, I know, it's really weird). That mug was cream colored on the outside and pink colored on the inside, with floral wreaths on the sides and the inscription "Potpourri Press Chelsea Wreath" on the bottom, so I decided to name this PC Chelsea.
Chelsea's only goal in the game was to avoid paying Bailey and not being sold by him. It was a challenge she still hasn't lost! Chelsea has been in the game for several years now, and so far, Bailey hasn't gotten anything but bruises from her.
I didn't take Chelsea as seriously as my other PCs, but over time, she became very powerful and convenient for exploring new content. Now she's a valuable character, not just a PC for a little challenge and aesthetics.
Initially, I planned to keep her a lone wolf and not romance anyone, but when I was exploring new content as usual and met Gwylan, I realized it was fate; they were meant to be together UwU
---
I've built new PCs six times and started playing DoL six times, and each time I've enjoyed the game and gained a new experience. This is the first time in my life that something has kept me engaged for so long and given me so much positive emotion and inspiration for my own creativity. I love DoL <3
A genderbent version of Sydney and Cornelia - Sydney and Cornelius. I'd like to make Cornelius tall, but since Cornelia is very short, he'll be short too. Even though Cornelius is taller than Cornelia, he's still short ToT
Cornelius used to have short hair, but when he joined the temple, he started growing it out. There's a certain trend in the temple for long hair; even men grow it long. He doesn't know the reasons, and simply imitates the others (he doesn't want to ask, lest others think he doesn't know enough about their religion (he doesn't know enough about their religion)). Cornelius actually dislikes his long hair because it takes time to maintain, but he keeps it anyway because he wants to be like the other temple members. And yes, if the other temple members jump off a cliff, he'll jump too lol
There's a little bonus under the cut.
The game says Whitney "perhaps permanently broken". Too bad that's not true. Just imagine this traumatized Whitney, who's developed a fear of crowds and fruits. Like, Whitney, being his usual tough and rebellious bully self, starts a fight with PC, a crowd gathers around, and Whitney freezes, experiencing flashbacks of the pillory. And then he throws a tantrum, which attracts even more people, which makes his condition even worse.
Or in housekeeping class, Whitney has a panic attack at the sight of fruit.
Or! Or other students from school who saw Whitney on the pillory start bullying him and spreading videos and photos of his suffering. Or maybe they started blackmailing Whitney, and to keep his reputation from falling even further, the bully began doing unimaginably dirty and humiliating things at the behest of his tormentors?
Such potential!
Oh, I got carried away ( ._. ' )
I recently decided to try other games similar to DoL, and played "Course of Temptation" and "Lilith's Throne".
CoT is very similar to DoL, but that game failed to hook me as much. I was disappointed by the small number of well-written characters, and I couldn't find anyone who interested me. I also didn't like the routine... too much routine. And the tedious skill leveling.
LT is nothing like DoL. The game is a series of quests and a complete lack of routine, which I really liked. Although I didn't find anyone I wanted to romance in that game either, I had a lot of fun playing it, thanks to the storyline and interesting mechanics.
Below, I've written in more detail about my impressions of these games, so there will be minor spoilers.
Course of Temptation.
So, we're a student who's just entered a university renowned for its excellent education and depraved atmosphere. And that's the whole plot (I don't know, maybe there's a hidden, implicit plot here that I haven't noticed?).
Basically, my plan was this: I'd find a character I liked, romance them, and we'd do all sorts of dirty things together, all while exploring the world and leveling up my skills. But I still couldn't find anyone for me. Yes, there are a lot of characters, maybe a hundred or more, but at the same time, almost all of them are just empty extras. They have no defined personalities, no backstories, and no events beyond the standard, recurring ones. Of the more well-developed characters, I can only name our best friend, our roommate, our roommate's boyfriend, our admirer, and our harasser. Of all of them, I only liked the best friend and the admirer, but best friend wants an open relationship, which is a definite no-no for me. And for the admirer, according to the wiki, I'd have to be submissive during roleplay game, and since my compliance level is zero and I don't want to change that, the admirer isn't an option for me either. Yes, it was fun to play games with him, but I didn't like him enough to start being submissive for his sake.
I'm also a little intrigued by the harasser. He's not as simple as he seems at first glance, and I'd be interested in getting to know him better, but... he's such a jerk. I don't want to mess with him.
Roommate and her boyfriend... I hate these two. They constantly violate my personal boundaries, and it really pisses me off that I can't do anything about it. Why do I always have to put up with their antics? Why can't I report my roommate and throw her out of my room or move to another room myself? This is so annoying!
Actually, we could move, but... That's another point of my indignation: excessive lewdness. This game has excessive lewdness. Yeah, it sounds weird, considering the game we're talking about and that lewdness is its point, but! The lewdness here is too blatant and unnatural. For example, the scene on the bus. The guy just started sharpening his sword in front of everyone and it's like, what? Is that considered normal here? I once had a conversation with an NPC that went something like this: "I'm in a bad mood and need a distraction. Can you give me a blowjob?" - Seriously? No, seriously? We're not dating and my character isn't a whore, so why are you asking that? Or a roommate who, without any embarrassment, is having sex with her boyfriend in front of us, and we don’t even try to actually stop it (because they’re keeping us from sleeping) or complain about them. And about moving in. We can move into a fraternity or sorority dorm (depending on our character's gender), but to do so, we need to complete a huge list of tasks, 90 percent of which are: sleep with this person, sleep with that person, do something naked, etc. Why is this task list so openly available? Why hasn't the university administration learned about this list of tasks yet? It would make more sense if there was an official list of difficult, but not lewd, tasks, but also a secret list of lewd tasks that would give more points for completion. The same could be done with all the other lewdness; if they were more hidden and not shoved in the player's face, the game would seem more realistic and interesting, in my opinion.
Next. The routine I wrote about earlier. Oh... Well, let's start with the fact that we have to pay money weekly again, but not for the debt, but for tuition. To pay less, you need to study well, and to study well, you need to do your homework. Stress has accumulated from studying so hard, so go relax. And eat, you're hungry. Oh, you don't have any money? Go to work. Tired of working? Go to bed and don't forget to go to the toilet and wash up. Did you sleep? Now go to study. And eat. And be relaxed, otherwise you won't be able to study. And so on, every day. It's very tiring. And if we also start leveling up our skills during this time... Everything will become even more tedious and monotonous. But more on skills later.
I find weekly money payments unnecessary. In DoL, paying off debt was the player's primary goal, forcing us to explore the world and uncover the story. But in this game, which focuses on raunchy university adventures, weekly payments are a hindrance, distracting us from the game's core purpose. Besides, we already need money for food, clothing, and other necessities, so we'd be looking for ways to earn it anyway.
Eating, washing, and toileting. I also consider these unnecessary and tedious elements of the game that simply waste time. I can only justify trips to the toilet, as they might be of interest to water sports enthusiasts. I would make eating an optional element, needed only for relaxation. The same goes for showering—for relaxation and for washing up if we get dirty.
Skills. Leveling up skills is tedious and difficult because we can only get a certain number of points per day. For example, if we want to spend the whole day at the gym and max out our Physics, it won't work. We'll get 9 or so points and that's it. So it's best to level up a few skills each day—and that's just another routine.
I'd like to mention the skill checks separately. They're too chaotic. For example, I defeated the Lich King in an RPG, even though I had a warning that it was impossible with my intellectual level. And yet, I can't pet a cat, even though I had a high charisma level. How does this all work? Why should I even bother leveling up my skills if everything is random? The same thing happens with studying and exams. I once got a C- on an exam, even though I always listened to the teacher in class and did my homework. I assumed this grade was random, and thanks to the safescam, I found out I was right. I can get any grade from an A+ to a C-, and it doesn't matter whether I do my homework or listen to the teachers. Why does it work like this? What's the point of studying then?
And the last thing I want to mention is relationships with NPCs. NPCs can easily start to dislike you, and if that happens, it will be very, very difficult to lower their dislike.
Before classes, I usually talked to NPCs; some of them would give me friendship points, while others would start to dislike me. So, characters who already had friendship points, thanks to randomness, would start to lose them and start to dislike me. But characters who already had dislike points don't get friendship points. Ever. Why? It's unfair. To lower their dislike, I had to pick them out individually and chat with them, compliment them, and give them gifts.
Considering all of the above, when do I get to explore the world and hang out with characters? My PC was always tired, studying, working, and leveling up. I lived in the game for several months and faced winter. And my PC is still a virgin who only had one platonic date with a friend. This game just isn't for me, because I don't want to just sleep with everyone; I need someone special, but I didn't find anyone here, so I couldn't enjoy it. If there was some interesting LI here, I would have tolerated the whole routine, but for now, unfortunately, my poor, tired PC remains alone. Unless one day they add new interesting for me characters. For now, I'm abandoning this game. I'll keep an eye on updates from time to time; maybe I'll come back.
If you've played CoT, please let me know in the comments who you romanced and what you liked about that character (or characters). I'd love to read. Cuz maybe I missed a potential LI.
Lilith's Throne.
We got "Isekai'd to another world" filled with depravity, demons, mythical creatures, and furries! Now we're looking for a way to return home. It sounded like an anime title lol.
My plan here was the same: find a character I liked, romance them, and do all sorts of naughty things. But even though I didn't find anyone, I really enjoyed the game. The story, the quests, exploring the world, leveling up, looting defeated NPCs — it was all so captivating! And most importantly, there was no routine! Yes, we can sleep, eat, and wash, but that's only to restore health and aura. And finally, there's no school or university! Playing LT was such a pleasure.
The game has a plethora of well-written NPCs. Aside from the street NPCs who attack us, all the others have their own personalities and quirks, bringing them and the game world to life.
I completed the main quest to the point where it stopped (since the game isn't finished yet) and also completed several side quests. I'm eagerly awaiting updates.
If large, VERY LARGE texts don't scare you, I recommend this game.
I wish that after PC is discharged from the asylm, with a high level of interest, Harper would hire them as an assistant or a nurse to help do all sorts of dirty, unethical things uwu
That would be Strawberry's dream job.
