See, that's a great story line, but it's not Sophia's story line and that is where I want this story to focus.

If L&P decides this part of Sophia's world, occurring outside of her perception and beyond her knowledge, needs to be explored then they should create a spin off and call it The Lusty Horny Late-Teenage Boy Pursues His Mother and His Sister and His Aunt and All Their Friends And Associates.

Overview:
Dylan, a [man of legal age in your jurisdiction] recently moved to beautiful, sunny San Alejo, where he starts developing strong sexual urges towards just about every female that is a blood relation, and even a few who aren't. With so many hot women around and so many men (and women!) pursuing them, Dylan struggles to compete for their attention and affection.

Will Dylan have to be devious or charming in his efforts to beat out everyone pursuing his mother's jewels? Will Dylan even be able to pull his uptight and conservative mother away from her marriage vows? Will Dylan be able to rescue his mother from the blackmail plot being carried out under the flimsiest of pretenses by the ultra-rich school-aged gang leader with a sweet ride and fantastic hair, who is pushing her towards deviancy and debauchery? Can Dylan convince his sometimes bitchy but incredibly hot bisexual-experimentalist sister to come along for the ride? So many women, so many possibilities!

Some decisions maybe have to be made unwillingly.
And in the end he has to ask himself… how far can he go.

Sorry @Atton563 and any other Dylan enthusiasts, but fuck that.

--
And, as I've said before, Sophia learning about Dylan's sneaking so on at the yoga event after the fact (whether directly from Dylan or overhearing him and Patricia, which yeah, is kinda hot) is still inline with Dylan's POV being unnecessary to getting the information to us.
Okay I get that it sounds like I'm advocating for more Dylan POV events and what not but that hypothetical scenario was more of a way for Sophia to find out about Dylan's intrest without a ton of build up. It comes completely out of left field for her if she just passes his room half way through the conversation like she did with him and Sam. Maybe she takes the lead in teasing him like she did when she opened her robe in the kitchen and maybe she gets carried away with it leading to a kiss, a good way to advance the Dylan/Sophia story without making him the lead in my opinion, perhaps I should have been clearer that this scenario isn't a Dylan POV.

No need, you were pretty straight forward, I should clarify - I think I was conflating your post with another and maybe the reply was more appropriate to the other one. Sometimes I get on a roll and lose all sense... Which sounds sort of like an erotic VN developer we're all familiar with...

You should read L&P's statement in the right context...
When he said "their conclusion is wrong", by "conclusion" he reffed to some player's opinion on Dylan after the "twist", not to their opinion on Dylan as a 2nd MC...
Maybe, but folks weren't wrong about the Dylan twist or its removal because L&P changed it. L&P was apparently wrong, and then edited the story after the fact, which undercuts the entire argument that everything that gets into a release is "needed" to tell the story. Clearly the characters and story arcs are fungible.

Well he added, and then decided against the "Coach Sophia" arc too.

I never said he is right and they are wrong. No one is wrong here, because it is a matter of opinion.
I did say you were wrong (ofc, everyone would be wrong in that situation) in your interpretation of the text KillJoys offered without the right context (not blaming him, ofc, you can easily get lost in the details here...)

Can't really blame you for going off really especially when you look at how many stories Dylan has and compare that to others It's no doubt frustrating to a lot of people.

Sophia/Dylan

Ellie/Dylan

Amber/Dylan

Marie/Dylan? (not sure if it's official or just spectulation)

Emma/Dylan (not fond of this one really)

Patricia teasing him is just something she would do and I can't see it going anywhere but the way things are going you can be forgiven for assuming the worst. It is a little much but most of them seem to be either or stories at least, so I don't see a sub plot of Dylan turning into every porn game MC ever on the horizon.

Just to piss you off how about a Dylan steals Aiden's girlfriend event to avenge his mothers blackmail? :KEK:
