This Romantic World Page 189
Added 2021-04-22 17:18:58 +0000 UTCI'm aware that most of my readers aren't here just for the smut, and that world building is an important part of the TRW package. But I still wonder if I'm pushing my luck with an update that's fifty percent inanimate objects with only zoomed out shots of fully clothed women. Did this little interlude work for you? Or was two pages too long a break to take in the middle of a sex scene? I'm always looking to improve how I pace my story, so feel free to share any thoughts you have on the matter.

Great! :)

2021-04-29 22:02:51 +0000 UTCThe Sign makes me think of an '80's Sex Romp like there were so many of back then. Awesome! I see nothing wrong with having an interlude now and then. Also, I love Liz in the background, supporting her Principal!

2021-04-25 09:06:41 +0000 UTCOMG, that third panel is so good! I think the racoon really takes the cake. XD

2021-04-23 14:43:14 +0000 UTCWill do! :D

2021-04-23 14:42:32 +0000 UTCAwesome!
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:42:24 +0000 UTCElianna would probably focus on the sign AFTER she solved the fundamental perversion issue. In the meantime I imagine her muttering to herself that "lewd high school" is the name this place deserves. XD
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:42:15 +0000 UTCIt is indeed! XD
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:40:49 +0000 UTC:D
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:40:39 +0000 UTCUnderstandable!
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:40:34 +0000 UTCCool! I wanted to make him as subtle as I could. Originally his "hiss" was a lot bigger and had a dialog bubble, but I toned it down so he stood out less.
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:40:24 +0000 UTCTime will tell! ;D
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:39:41 +0000 UTCMuch appreciated! I'll do my best to keep it up.
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:39:19 +0000 UTCI guess I could see that. It never occurs to me personally, since everything takes so much time to draw, I don't include anything I don't think is important. But in the future I'll try to think more about how it looks to everyone else.
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:38:48 +0000 UTCGlad you think so! :)

2021-04-23 14:37:25 +0000 UTCGood to hear! :)

Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:37:04 +0000 UTCThose would be two very tall ladies going at it there! XD
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:36:51 +0000 UTCThat is a big bonus to porn comics for sure, exposition is less dry when nudity is involved. XD
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:36:16 +0000 UTCThanks!
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:35:41 +0000 UTCThanks! That's one of the upsides to weekly updates, I have plenty of time to read the room and course correct if need be. :)
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:35:34 +0000 UTCI figured it would be one of the football players, Zane or maybe Jeff, he's more of an asshole. XD
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:34:59 +0000 UTCXD
Reinbach
2021-04-23 14:33:51 +0000 UTCCome fore the porn, stay for the plot. As much as I do love the sex, I LOVE the character driven plot and jokes. It helps us see these characters as more than drawigs and want to know them more and see them do more. So don't feel bad if you take too long between sex scenes. We can wait for sex and we love seeing these character fumble through life :D
Lukas West
2021-04-23 07:55:29 +0000 UTCLore is important ! Take the time you want to develop it, we're here for that too :)

2021-04-23 06:04:58 +0000 UTC"The sign is a symbol-- nay, an EMBLEM -- of a deeper systemic problem at 'Castle-lewd High'!!" or something

2021-04-23 01:34:16 +0000 UTCNo matter how pornographic a series is there has to be downtime between sex scenes. Especially if it's a long running saga like Switch and TRW. Taking a few pages to show things other than sex and perversion isn't just a good idea, it's downright necessary for the pacing of literally any story. Regardless of what other people might say you have to show these characters doing things other than having sex. Otherwise they're not going to feel like characters and the world will feel shallow and unreal because it's entirely one note. There's certainly a balance to walk with how many pages you devote to non pornographic scenes but I hardly think you've crossed the line into too many. In fact I think you could easily add another couple pages in these interludes without missing anything. 99 times out of 100 your writing is on point and the comedy rarely if ever fails to make me laugh. So seeing that side of things more often would not be an unwelcome change.

2021-04-23 01:32:48 +0000 UTCJane doesn't have a dong so that prank wouldn't make much sense coming from her. I could see Zane doing it though.

2021-04-22 23:34:31 +0000 UTCGive me all the L O R E you've got!
Dick Don't call me Dick The Cock Johnson The Cock Johnson
2021-04-22 22:45:07 +0000 UTCI totally love this page. The laugh of the sign and the raccoon are 10/10. Liz is the greatest
Emmett
2021-04-22 21:38:32 +0000 UTCNow I'm curious as to why Elianna's first efforts weren't to replace the sign... Or whether they were, and the sign just always gets back to this state within a week or so.
Dorian Alton
2021-04-22 21:18:54 +0000 UTCWait... is that the same raccoon that savaged Derek in that Q&A from a while back?
Squid Hills

Licorice Lain
2021-04-22 20:01:07 +0000 UTCGood catch! That is indeed her signature middle finger. :)
Reinbach
2021-04-22 19:49:11 +0000 UTCI love the raccoon, though I wish this interlude didn’t have to interrupt THIS sex scene, to be honest.
ScuzzBucket
2021-04-22 19:20:57 +0000 UTCCasey spray-painted that middle finger didn't she?
Ranger Bumblefuck
2021-04-22 19:16:30 +0000 UTCI didn't even realize the raccoon the first time i was reading the page.
Darnell Henriquez
2021-04-22 18:55:02 +0000 UTCNot a slightest problem, so far i hungrily swallow every page. As time goes on, the ones which are not comletely sex scene-y maybe even more. And 10 points for the sign, none shall even think about repairing or replacing it.

2021-04-22 18:47:14 +0000 UTCHonestly, for me your writing is the real draw here. Your dialogue has always been god-tier, your characters have always been extremely engaging, and your general story building has really improved since I first became a fan (a little while after Switch was first pirated to e-hent*i). The art has always been great (though it's been a real treat to watch it improve with time) but it's your writing that gives it a life that makes both the erotic and non-erotic portions so engaging and memorable.
HungryOuroboros
2021-04-22 18:25:38 +0000 UTCIt's kinda jarring a lil. Gives an impression it's not important somewhat
Devon Woodrup
2021-04-22 18:24:16 +0000 UTCNot to mention the puma (or giant spotless ocelot, if you believe Redcliff) on the sign as well is just perfect lol
Marty
2021-04-22 18:17:20 +0000 UTCGiven that everything that comes out of both Principal Redcliff and Liz's mouths are absolute gold, I don't mind in the slightest that we've taken this tiny detour. Plus, the image of that ramshackle, broken down, and perfectly on point sign is too funny not to laugh at
Marty
2021-04-22 18:14:26 +0000 UTCI love this page. I love the humor. I love the other principal showing up Max. I love the heated talk while fucking happens off screen. I think it all works.
GregD
2021-04-22 17:58:16 +0000 UTCThese types of pages are awesome. The banter between characters and subtle details you add are fantastic!
Giuseppe
2021-04-22 17:58:07 +0000 UTCNothing wrong here, though I wouldn’t mind if Victoria wanted Liz as a snack while waiting.
MAR
2021-04-22 17:56:24 +0000 UTCI like the pacing. It's a bit like GoT's "sexposition". If you're going to dump a lot of info, do it while there's banging.

2021-04-22 17:55:07 +0000 UTCThat sign Rocks! Fits the school to a T. :D
Bob Fink
2021-04-22 17:50:39 +0000 UTCI definitely appreciate the world building. It's at least one third of why I love this comic so much. 1. Great art/sexy scenes. 2. Witty writing. 3. World building. It's good you check in, though. It shows you care as well. 👍
Nikuthulhu
2021-04-22 17:48:33 +0000 UTCI gotta ask, was the "my doing iz king" Jane's doing? Seems like her kinda prank.
Slaughterbug
2021-04-22 17:46:44 +0000 UTCOh my god the lulz here. Also: NO NOT THE BEAR!!!! We're missing the Holt Dickening! Cut back immediately!!!! God that sign so accurate 😏😂

Reinbach
2021-04-22 17:34:58 +0000 UTCCouldn't resist the urge to spell it right! XD
Reinbach
2021-04-22 17:34:45 +0000 UTCI wish I thought ahead that well lol. The name comes from me Googling a list of sounds with suggestive names to help give me ideas, I think there actually is a Castlewood out there if memory serves. I picked it because "Castle" is (or at least was) the name of a chain of sex shops in Washington state. And the wood part speaks for itself I think. XD
Reinbach
2021-04-22 17:34:19 +0000 UTCWell this scene is still about Nadine and Shiro, but I don't introduce characters here without intending to draw them naked in the future! :)
Reinbach
2021-04-22 17:31:44 +0000 UTCDon't worry. I really care about the story. The sex scenes are very nice, but I'd read it even without them. Your characters are just that endearing
Weber Jo
2021-04-22 17:31:09 +0000 UTCCool! Good to know he's going over ell so far.
Reinbach
2021-04-22 17:30:46 +0000 UTCNice! :)

2021-04-22 17:30:09 +0000 UTCLiterally walked past the opportunity to called it Lood High School
Kudos707
2021-04-22 17:28:19 +0000 UTCI'm actually more interested in the story than the sex scenes. And i have a question : Did you choose the name Castlewood because of this pun ? Because it's pure genius xD
Pyro
2021-04-22 17:24:57 +0000 UTCIt depends on the next page. If the next page is worth the wait then the interlude works. But I do hope we get see some of new characters in action

2021-04-22 17:22:44 +0000 UTCThe Racoon makes it worth it.

2021-04-22 17:21:24 +0000 UTCThe raccoon just adds character.
