yupJust something dramatic and dark that is not just only sex but a interesting story.
Honestly, I get it to an extent. I get bored just playing humans a lot of the time. Even if it's just a coat of paint sometimes you like seeing something different.Human or humanoid male and female monster, monstergirl, etc.
The request is always the otherway round. I have to be a monster versus their human. I love interesting biologies and extra raccial romance. Its super rare to find someone willing to try. I can understand the desire for attractive and familiar aesthetics though.
So people play this game like an MMO or something. But this is actually a curse which sends people to this game world. While their life in that game world is cool, dying in the game means dying in real life, and eventually they want to return to their world but have to do a complex series of events to be able to return. People then meet each other in person as they get to know the people who were these game characters. Would be funny if the lead female character and love interest of the hero is actually a guy playing a female character LOL.
There is still a lot to hash out, as in what happens to the bodies when people go in the game (is it a ready player one or .hack kinda thing, and how can they survive for such long periods, but it would be worked out.That actually sounds very fun.
