Misaki Route, Character, and Main Story Survey Results (Patreon)
Content
Here are the results of the Misaki route, character, and main story survey.
Question 1: How would you rate Misaki's corruption route?
Final Rating: 4.17/5 stars
Question 2: What would you say Misaki's route is lacking most?
The most common answers for this question were: more focus on the aspect of her cheating on Romanos, more focus on her character/backstory, and the refinement of later routes.
These are things I'll be focusing on improving/emphasizing in the reworked content, so it shouldn't be lacking in these aspects when V0.4.0 part 1 is released.
Question 3: What aspect of Misaki's route do you think is best?
The most common answers for this question were: The conflict she has with her feelings about Romanos, and her full corruption scene.
Like I mentioned with the previous question, I'll be giving more focus on her conflict over choosing the MC over Romanos, and refining her route for a better buld up and execution of her full corruption scene, which should hopefully further enhance these two aspects of her route.
Question 4: If there was one thing you could see changed or added in Misaki's route, what would it be?
The most common answer for this question was more interactions between Misaki, Yukako, and Rina. I do plan on adding more interactions between these characters in the reworked content, and I am nearing the point in development where I can start working on those interactions.
Question 5: How would you rate Misaki's pre-corruption character writing?
Final Rating: 3.83/5 stars
Question 6: What would you say Misaki's pre corruption character is lacking?
There weren't a lot of consistent/repeated answers for this question. Though, from the feedback given, it seems most people want more depth on her character, and more time to see her thoughts on her situation instead of rushing through her corruption route. I'll keep this in mind as I continue to rework her route.
Question 7: What would you say is pre corruption Misaki's best character aspect?
Like with the above question, there wasn't any one aspect of her character that people generally pointed to, with what people like most of her character being pretty varied, or unspecific compared to each other.
Question 8: If there would be one thing you could change or add about Misaki's pre corruption character, what would it be?
The most common answers for this were for more interactions between her and the other characters, and more focus on her feelings about her situation with Romanos.
Question 9: How would you rate Misaki's full corruption scene?
Final Rating: 4.53/5 stars
Question 10: How would you rate post corruption Misaki's character writing?
Final Rating: 4.22/5 stars
Question 11: What would you say Misaki's post corruption character is lacking?
The most common answers to this question were for Misaki to be more dominant, and have more of an ego about her role as the Succubus Queen of Corruption and being the MC's first slave when interacting with people who aren't the MC, and for her to have slightly more of a romantic attitude about/towards the MC than she currently does. I think these ideas would fit well with her fully corrupted character, and I'll keep that in mind when I rework her content.
Question 12: What would you say is post corruption Misaki's best character aspect?
The two answers that the vast majority of people answered with were her Devotion to the MC, and her proactiveness in her role as the MC's slave and Succubus Queen of Corruption.
Question 13: If there was one thing you could change or add about Misaki's post corruption character, what would it be?
The answers to this is more or less a repeat of the answers to question 11, so I won't repeat that here.
Question 14: How would you rate Misaki's post corruption Repeatable content?
Final Rating: 3.18/5 Stars
Question 15: How would you rate the main story content outside of Misaki's corruption route? NOTE: this question only applies to everything from the start of the game, to right before starting Yukako and Rina's route.
Final rating: 3.98/5 Stars
Question 16: What aspect of the main story outside of Misaki's corruption route would you say is most lacking? NOTE: this question only applies to everything from the start of the game, to right before starting Yukako and Rina's route.
The most common answers for this were interactions with the characters, more setup for future events, characters, and locations, and reworking the combat sections to be less tedious. All of these things are things I'm currently working on in the rework, so they should hopefully be better when V0.4.0 part 1 releases.
Question 17: What changes or additions would you like to see to the main story outside of Misaki's corrupiton route?
NOTE: this question only applies to everything from the start of the game, to right before starting Yukako and Rina's route.
The most common answer for this question was for more refinement/depth on how the MC establishes himself as the new Dark Lord when rebuilding The Dark Lord's forces. I'll keep this in mind when I get to that content in the rework.
This concludes the results of the survey. Many things here were very useful to know, and will be good for a clear direction certain aspects of the rework needs when it comes to the character and story writing. At some point in the near future, I'll release a similar survey on Yukako and Rina's characters, routes, and related story content.
