All right I have to get a few things off my chest while I'm here in chapter 10. I honestly like a lot of slow burn games but I'm going to have to say that Riley and Vanessa are just way too slow for my liking. Frankly speaking it's so slow that despite the MC's flirting attempts, I've pretty much lost all interest in both of them as characters. I haven't played ch 10 completely or 11 but it's honestly gotten to a point where I feel like even if they were lying down in front of me spreadeagle, I wouldn't give a shit anymore.

Would be nice if we could have a bit of revenge somehow. E.g. completely cut Riley off from our lives, and seeing clear regret in her. Would give some long-awaited satisfaction.
But the biggest problem is that after 3 years and over 10 chapters, the expectations from future romantic/lewd scenes with Vanessa and Riley have become huge if they are to justify the waiting time. Such scenes couldn't measure up even for normal characters, let alone ones so reserved and guarded.
All writers make mistakes, and the game has some good content nonetheless.
I completely agree with your post, and yes the game is mostly very enjoyable.
This is one of my fav games, I have just done the whole playthrough again.
I like the idea of the joking around, it has made me chuckle a lot.
Can't wait for an update. Keep it going.
Thanks

With regard to all of the Vanessa/Riley slow-burn hate, I'd like to express a contrasting point of view...
Early on in my play-through of the game, I felt like the MC had no chance with Vanessa, so I'm pleased that she is beginning to warm up to him, and I feel like the progress of that relationship is right on track, considering where she started, and her personality and issues.
When I play the game, I mentally insert myself into the role of the MC (as I suspect many others do), so yeah, my MC is a bit frustrated by Riley's current "friend-zone" tendencies, but I personally consider that good, entertaining, nuanced storytelling (if I was just looking for a quick wank, I'd go to PornHub instead). I think Riley is hot AF, so my MC is playing the long game, and holding out hope that Riley will have an epiphany, realize what a good thing she has right in front of her, get over whatever hangups she has (often not so easy IRL), and throw herself at him hard (making up for lost time...). I see her as the final boss; defeating Bowzer/King Koopa, figuratively speaking.
Keep up the great work, Venus!

it doesn't seem to make a difference what you pick when comes to that for any of the women. think of it like a vanity item in a mmorpg.

There will be choices that are clearly marked with 'Pursue' or 'Don't Pursue' but they are different from those you are asking about. So pick whatever feels right: you might want to constantly troll her for example, do it without fear!
Trying to look for a bright side in that apparent lack of consequences, I like to think that she'll like me no matter what, and this acceptance makes her more endearing (applies to all girls ofc).

Like others have said, it doesnt matter, but joker probably works better for the flow of conversations since their whole relationship revolves around her being too serious and him not being serious enough

I know this game is tagged as a Harem, But can u actually hookup with all the women without any current reprecussions? Reason I'm asking is because after u are already pursuing harlow and you get option to pursue erika a small mc monologue comes up about him already with harlow, like it could potentially hurt mc being with both. Make me wonder if harem tag was a mistake?

Harem tag means there is at least one set of four people (usually MC and three others) living together with everybody happy with the arrangement in the end. It doesn't necessarily mean everybody is available for it, nor that there won't be complaints and complications along the way. (Just as a general reminder of how tags work.)

Plus, with the harem tag definition changing soon
It will make a harem even easier to get
Because the mc only has to be with two girls for it to be a harem

It's just the texture, not a piercing.Has Jordan a piercing on her lower lip ?
It appears in the threesome with Marisa (facial/cumshot scene).
Or maybe is it a graphic glitch ?

On some level I get the frustration with an epic slowburn, because if that LI is the one you are the most interested in, having the first real sexual content with her in the final 10-20% of the game means she will most likely barely have any scenes compared to most of the other girls. It is sometimes less about the wait, and more about the low number of scenes we are likely to get by the end of the game. Now that might not be the case, because at times devs finish the slowburn by adding a lot of content with that specific LI. Still, hard to know before we reach that stage. This is still one of my favorite games though and I look forward to every update.
Assuming you're asking for an update, nope. Per the last developer update, it is pretty early going towards episode 12. You're looking at weeks, not days but he's chugging along and it sounds like this update should be a good one.
