The reason Sams' route feels weird is because it is. LP tries to use the same general formula for all the characters. They want Sophia -> They either seduce/force/manipulate her to do stuff -> She either goes along with it, or cuts it off.
That doesn't make sense for Sam's route, since it's meant to be more romantic.
Would make more sense if...
- Sophia, wanting attention and not getting any from her husband, starts to notice Sam being sweet and paying attention to her. To make it more plausible and fit the backstory, Sam has always been that way. For example, in Dylan's room he should've said "You shouldn't talk about your mom like that, she is a beautiful woman!". Sophia could think that is admirable and it puts a divide between Sam (romantic) and Dylan (horndog) motivations with Sophia.
- Instead of Sam being the modern day Casanova, he is trying but still screws up sometimes. Sophia would think its cute that he is trying to make her feel special, even if he embarrassed himself sometimes.
- Sophia, having an inner conflict, wants to be around Sam more. He reminds her of Liam back when they started dating or something like that and wants that feeling back. However, she doesn't want to cheat.
- Eventually, Sam and Sophia would end up in a sexual situation (like the hot tub) but instead of being the Casanova, Sam and Sophia make a move but each feel bad about it. Sophia because she doesn't want to cheat. Sam because he doesn't want to ruin her relationship & potentially his friendship with Dylan.
- From there, they try to resist but gradually give in. They know it's wrong, but it doesn't matter anymore. They want to be together, in secret..for now.
In some ways, Sam's current route is pretty similar to a lot of male MC games. Where the MC is basically the most special, awesome mega dicked stud in town and all the women melt when he looks their way. Sophia isn't as dull as many of the LI's in those games, but her thoughts about how amazing Sam is at everything is pretty similar.
