...Sorry to interrupt the endgame discussion here, but is anyone else having technical issues with ASMR2? That chapter is crashing my web browsers (both Chrome and Dolphin, on an Androids reader) when I try to open it. Weird, I don't know what image format could crash a browser but it's the first I've seen that prob on Dynasty before.

Probably image/file size. The regular chapter pages are all 1115x1600p (except for cover and extra pages), whereas ASMR 2's pages are 7276x10205p, i.e. massive.
PiranhaPlant provides a small and a full sized version of both ASMRs on their blog, but whereas 2 is the full size, 1 is the smaller version, not sure why the discrepancy exists.
Nice to know my browser isn't the only one struggling though.

i need to buy the audio tracks for these two bonuses lol

I intend to do so myself (though I'll have to figure out how to bypass the geo-block on DLsite where I live first), but in the meantime:
The user KaraRabbit was so kind as to share an archive of the first ASMR set. https://mega.nz/file/07Jm0aTJ#JqHr9ulNyIBIFMeExTMmZvjfRPnNTco8GT8IztI2Wak

Could anyone explain to be why Asumi became "shiny"? I know she went to the Net Cafe to have fun alone, but how does masturbation make one glow?

General posture of being relaxed and in “afterglow”.

Yeah I think it's a fairly common trope in anime & manga at least, it's a way of showing sexual satisfaction via the afterglow type of visual that you mention.

Edit: Also other words associated with the state would be refreshed / revived / rejuvenated, so fourth lol

While it hasn't been a super consistent piece of visual imagery, there have been a few instances in earlier chapters. The original text uses つやつや (tsuyatsuya), which can apparently be translated as "glossy; bright; slick". Taking the latter meaning then it could also imply that there's a sheen of sweat (or moisturiser) adding a literal glow to the figurative glow from the afterglow.

I'm curious how Nanao's gonna react when she meets Asumi the next time. They haven't seen each other for at least six days after all (seven if we assume that Nanao wanted to call Asumi before she got on the bus, because they hadn't seen each other in person that day). By now she probably has some major withdrawal symptomes. Additionally, Asumi's reasoning behind not dating Nanao, is now essentially invalid because she no longer "has to" hook up with other people to find Mai, so I'm curious how Nanao will react to these news, especially considering that Mai is not just another hooker, but a potential rival (and we've seen how possessive Nanao was after a mere brothel visit). And I wouldn't be surprised, if Nanao holds Asumi by her promise/suggestion to let her come over.

So, all in all there's much to be excited (and concerned) about, can't wait.

FYI: This artwork was created as a cover art for an Ao3 fanfic (Repeater by euphowolf) using a modern setting, where Hilda works as a call girl and Edelgard is a ceo with some "canon compliant" issues regarding opening up to/trusting other people due to being abused as a child.
Iirc, this story should be enjoyable even without knowing anything about the game it is based on.
I admittably never finished reading it because there were a few hiatuses by the author and I forgot to keep checking for updates, but it has been finished for a while now, so I intend to "reread" it.

[Mai might assume that Senpai is Asumi's gf] Then [Mai] gets all sad and becomes completely unable to perform in bed, ultimately leading to Asumi aggressively topping her [...]

I wouldn't be surprised if that happened regardless of any misunderstandings. Sure, her character profile (Volume 2 Extra, page 11) says she's a TOP-leaning switch, but according to Jun she is said to go "meek" when she's with younger women, i.e. people reminding her of Asumi (chapter 5, page 10-11). And since meek can also mean something like "patient", I chose to look at the JP text. The original says "よわよわ" which seems to mean something like "frail" or "weak".

Also I think people are being a bit unfair towards her. Reaching out to a customer could get her in trouble with the company (customer privacy violation), even if they were friends (10) years ago. Though the fact they were friends could have additional negative side-effects for the business, as the customer might stop showing up due to being "scared off", or becoming a FWB of the employee. Escort work appears to be Mai's main source of income, judging from her ability to just go to Tokyo on a whim, unlike Serina who has a day job. (Speaking of who, I hope she gets a happy ending too.)
Personally, I assume Mai's inaction (even disregarding work) to be less about wanting that "magical reunion" after being randomly booked by Asumi and more just due to being afraid of said reunion. Revealing that you have become a sex-worker, to someone who looked up to you as a child, probably doesn't feel great (especially considering how prostitution isn't technically legal in Japan], even if that person makes use of such services. Also no, Mai doesn't know that Asumi is looking for her, if anything she seems to believe that Asumi would back out, if she realised her partner to be Mai (chapter 6, pages 5 and 30).

Also, this is somewhat besides the point, but I forgot how much Sayaka tries to get something to happen between herself and Mai. I remembered the pocky-joke in Extra 1, but I didn't remember her dressing up to look younger (so she can help Mai with her "meekness") in chapter 6 and proposing to do a threesome with her in chapter 8.

I'm probably not the first person to ask, but why isn't the bonus-chapter showing what Midori and Manaka were up to, while Touko responds to Sayaka's confession (as well as the Nakatani-sensei and Pigeon afterword), featured on here?
Is it because there is no translation for it by 4s?
[I only found out about that one because I finally bought all 8 volumes and I might've still missed it because the translation I purchased is so horrendous that I considered not to read them all.]

I've noticed that both times Asumi has had a threesome, it has been directly or indirectly set up by Ouka

I think saying that Ouka has set up Asumi's first threesome is a bit of a stretch. It was Asumi who brought up the topic of promotions and the one Ouka recommended was a time extension in exchange for a review. The offer for the threesome appears later on, as Asumi peruses the website. So the only way Senpai influenced this was by recommending that Asumi should have an eye out for offers that might interest her.

is it perhaps foreshadowing that Senpai only does threesomes?

Also probably not. For one she seemed totally fine with her one-on-one sessions with Miho in chapter 4 (The one where we are introduced to Ena) and the unnamed (?) girl in chapter 23 who arrives with Toki. And in the Volume 3 Extras she is booked out for one-on-one sessions with her regular.

Now to your point, Ouka seems totally fine with the possibility of having a foursome in chapter 4 as long as Asumi didn't mind, which she did. And whilst we have seen a large focus on S&M in Ouka's interests ( which we don't see in the extra so perhaps a newer passion), some of the videos she lends to Asumi in chapter 2 seem to include threesomes as well.

In case anyone wonders why the incest tag is gone, I requested for it to be removed. Reason below:
I didn't remember those two being sisters, so since I assumed there would be more things I had forgotten I read through a wiki page. While it explained Medusa to be the former co-ruler of Angel Land, there were no mentionings of any familial ties between her and Palutena. This trend continued troughout all but two of the seven wikis I checked (including some japanese ones). The only wikis which featured Palutena and Medusa as sisters/family members were an "Immortals Fenyx Rising"-crossover wiki and another one which included Pokemon amongst other things. (The latter is cited under "People also ask: 'Is Medusa Palutena's sister?'")
Kid Icarus lore may be a bit 'loosey goosey' but I think displaying correct information still matters. (Not that I blame anyone for,mistakenly, believing them to be sisters as the top answer on Google is straight-up lying)
