I wish we had more control over the player character when dealing with Alexandra.
I think that the slavish devotion of the main character to Alexandra gets in the way of other aspects of the game. For example, all the other girls (Alice, Danny, Jamie, etc..) are kind of wasted here because we know that they will always be relegated to a diversion and never turn into an actual relationship.
The love triangle between Alex, Izzy, and the MC is not as interesting as it could've been because it's made extremely clear that Alex is destined to be with the main character and Isabella is the third wheel that can be discarded. There's no suspense if you know the outcome, and very little choice since you aren't allowed to like Izzy more than Alex. Which I surprisingly do, despite the whole incident where she confronts you in your apartment. In fact, I wish there was a third possible answer to the question Isabella asks while dancing, because I would have liked to ask her if she could ever imagine it being just the two of them (meaning no Alex).
I find Alex to be very annoying. Her teasing is intended to be friendly banter, but it doesn't work for me due to the massive power imbalance in the relationship. Alexandra calls all the shots, and everyone else just forced to do what she wants. So when she calls the MC puppy, it comes across as condescending rather than endearing. I don't like how she strings both Izzy and the MC along on the path where the two of them both tell her to stop seeing the other person. Isabella already had a straight up mental breakdown over how Alexandra was treating her at the start of the game, and the MC is just forced to accept the situation because the game won't allow us to leave Alexandra.
I'm just not sold on the whole Alexandra romance, which is a big problem since it's the cornerstone of the game. It's a very one-sided relationship, and the MC has at least a half dozen other amazing women interested in him, so I can't help but think him a fool for sticking with Alex. Especially since she goes out of her way to provoke her father, who has already made numerous threats against the MC.
