Maybe I'm missing something, but the dramatic tone of the story is perceived from the first release, starting with the father of the MC who dies, it is true that other games with lighter tones often start with a dead family member, but we do not see the scene , we are told to justify the fact that a lonely man finds himself living with three sex bombs of different ages, while here we see that death, we feel it, how can it not be dramatic? And even the train ride has dramatic clues, two guys arguing heavily, a girl with ambiguous facial expressions, our childhood friend in tears as she talks to us on the phone. End of chapter the young valery covered in blood.
I don't think the author has changed course, I think that has always been the way, but if he changed now it would really be a change of course and it would kill the plot, what would be a drama.
From the first chapter it is clear that we are dealing with problematic girls, almost a homage to the film "Girl, Interrupted".
I like the story of valery a lot, it has nothing hard to believe, if you see it in a script context, we have a girl on the run from a mafia organization, there are dozens of films like that, in one a casino singer pretends to be a nun.
There may be some perplexities, such as the fact that the MC goes around asking if they have seen a suspicious guy in the area, but it does not seem to me a huge mistake, however we must remember that the MC is a very young person who does not has ever faced similar situations. I found it more wrong that the MC could propose Vicky as a bodyguard, which was a no-sense moment. But it's true that if we do that Jenny won't listen to us and turns to Adam. So it was just about making the right choice, which is not proposing vicky.
