That makes sense and is a good choice, much better to release something this good then delay it (and all future releases!??!, I didn't realize you had so much and I am looking forward to seeing them, I know editing will take a while but I'm excited for when/if they are finished)
And if there are multiple videos players could also do a denial after the videos without the more in depth reward rounds. Treating the endings almost just like edge rounds. I like it, again very talented with a good eye for what makes a great CH!
1. I think the introduction of masturbation scenes came a bit too early. This video could have benefited from longer tease at the start. 2. The dildo sucking scenes are a bit out of place. I mean, people who appreciate softcore don't probably require that.
In any case, do what you want to do. These are just my thoughts.

Kind of demotivates me to continue with my new video
Nooooo
That was what I am afraid of
We are not rivals here and not winning the prizes!
Skills are good to have, but taste is more important.
Choices of models, scenes, music are unique for every creator
So I want to say to all creators, who are not so skilled - don't be shy to release your production!
If u polish the gem too much, u can erase it!

I'm kind of surprised you could make sense of my rambling explanation but yeah that's how I envision them.

I agree with Fashion Technique.
Everyone has their taste and the more options available, the better! Also, with any skills, you can only get better by doing. Just make sure you're having fun doing it and it will have already been worth it.
I hope this was intended as a half-jokey compliment rather than a legit full feeling you had.

This is excellent. Technical quality is great. Source material and scenes are exactly to my taste. Strong contender for video of the year.

Final score:
I need to have a re-watch of this very soon, however I do have similar feedback to gynephilos (in his spoiler comments so I'll not repeat what's already been said)
Model choice was great, soundtrack was top notch... I feel like I'll happily bow out and you can take my place as synthwave extraordinaire
Honestly you're editing style is a breath of fresh air, inspires me to do much better. Keep up the good work and don't be afraid to challenge yourself to create more... I'd love to see what you do next

It was more of a joke
Anyway, this has motivated me a bit to continue with my edit. First version of music mix is almost done and the graphics style is solidifying.
Glad to hear it

On the first point I agree, and have plans to address it when I polish and prepare my next softcore video for release. The second point..I'm going to try to think of a compromise because I really like that stuff, but I also agree that it's out of place.
