If L&P can make the story line so that Dylan is the manipulator and Sophia is acting according to his ideas, then that is not a weakness but a strength. Also, without Dylan, the story lines of Sam and Aiden make little sense. Sam is a counterpart to Dylan, that's his job. In my view, Sam is too perfect to be an interesting story line, alone. The entanglements are missing. If the two were being watched by Dylan through the window, for example, or were actually caught by surprise in their actions , then his story line would gain weight. So far, however, the whole thing is rather simple and has little depth. Sam is just lucky to be the first guy besides Liam to have had some significant action with Sophia. That's all there really is. Ellie story line is more interesting. She has not only Sophia, but also Julia in her main story and connections to many other characters (like Christine and Dylan). Much more has happened, and the potential is far greater. I guess, Ultimately, it will be the story lines with Dylan and Ellie that are the strongest.I agree with you. definitely, This Dylan's cuck route makes the Dylan character poor and weak in the game. Especially, Especially, those who like to play only Sofia/Dylan romantic storyline in the game will surely lose their interest. I have played every route of this game except blackmail route. i think, sam storyline, ellie and some lesbian storylines is the best storylines in entire game. These storylines are also very exciting and hot events with good story. But I didn't feel like there was any story in the Sophia/Dylan storyline. Dylan couple event is good but not better than sam and others events. The Sophia/Dylan storyline is a generic and simple sex education storyline. And I didn't see any good story in the Sophia/Dylan storyline.
Lets see if this event will change my calculation.
