Many erotic games, use this type of corruption / progression for their plots and it is very pronounced if the main character is female;
It's like a tree of skills of an RPG game, where the exp is sex and the skills are the fetish, from the softer to the most pushed.However, many of these games dont have a story that continues in other game.
yeah it is what I was thinking. People just see a female lead and associate these other things with it.

In response to the topic and to add on to graav, this is a condition I have scene in other J-Hrpgs, SakiQue comes to mind especially. I tend to like this direction in hentai with playable female characters. Maybe it's because it is highly unrealistic that it becomes entertaining for a while. Of course I also tend to have a chaste play through if the game rewards that behavior in the ending. It wouldn't really work well in games with multiple installments because there would be no room for the character to grow. But I could see Maiko carry a "slut" reputation from game to game, especially amongst generic npcs.
it's just bit too unrealistic even for umch imo. The story won't always take place in a school setting. Maiko popping pussy to defeat everyone just makes everything about any semblance of a story into a joke.

Personally I think the idea is gross and I don't know where it comes from. :/
if saw a chick irl walking down the street naked totally drenched in cum. I'd keep my distance yes. heh.

Last time I saw it was when I played Akabur and Swegabe's games. But before, I faced it almost in every hentai JRPG.Of course, it's absolutely unrealistic. I think, even every real elite harlot would like to look respectable - and being covered in cum doesn't look respectable at all. Showing in public with such appearance is more like a method of a total humiliation. It may be good seeing this in some adult stuff, but it would look much weird and disgusting in the real world.
I can even say that games, which using this and other similar features, - they may be very good, but they can't be taken seriously.
Yeah I guess I just haven't played many HJRPGs. The story at times will get pretty serious and yeah that totally breaks anything that is not built around it.

I might be able to answer this. (Maybe?)
I always liked to take options that might be considered the bad choice in most games. Playing evil characters in rpgs and stuff like that.
With Maiko tho, that translates more to rule breaking.
So instead of being a good person and working for money, I'd rather have have sex to get it. It's more efficient and it's sexy to see a good girl doing bad stuff.
The slut thing I think is just an expansion of that idea of getting Maiko to do bad stuff.
It's kinda similar to the 'risk' associated with the pregnancy mechanic, people don't actually want to fail from doing normal game stuff riskily, but they like that the option is there.
As for story logic you could have this stuff in and just say it isn't cannon. I know bioware did that with kotor 1 and 2, where it's cannon that the hero is a good guy but you can still play an evil bastard that kills half your team and rules the galaxy.
consider in kotor 1 and 2 the characters you play as and the settings are very different. so much so that it doesn't matter that you did in 1. Also the endings are designed to have multiple endings. in my story there is only 1 outcome. So in the process of getting there Maiko can't go too far into left field.

This setting is more predominant in jrpgs with a corruption system as thevoiceis stated, in most instances it usually affect the trigger of certain events or may unravel a different path in story.While personally i kinda like the scenario in certain games i dont think it fits this game mainly because:
A) UMCC dont have a corruption system
B) While id like the possibility of more revealing even sluttier costumes there is a complete lore and world building in this game making scenarios like walking around naked/covered in cum would most likely break immersion
Still it could be as unticop said before: non-canon options or stretching a bit maybe unlock it as sandbox after the main story is complete?
however people tend to focus on that stuff so much. I have learned this from adding it to umcc. There are other way to give Maiko an excuse to be sluttier the fit better into the game without a corruption system or going that far off into the weeds. If I had something the focuses on making some slutty thoguh I'd rater have it in a different games. There are some ideas I have that I can get to later.
