What do you mean "If I bothered to read it?". So she didn't say that that it would make her look bad if her friends seen her hanging out with MC, that she needs to keep her image intact because she's a cheerleader? She said something else? And then MC didn't say that it didn't bother him and that he forgives her? What did he say then? I don't really see any other angle to this.
How can anyone excuse her behavior is really beyond me. Also the MC is acting like a pussy and a creep even if he toned it down a bit this episode. I expect that he's gonna change at some point but right now, it is what it is.
And stop with the "You're not forced to play it" stuff, if I didn't want to play it I wouldn't.
You didnt bother to read and UNDERSTAND it. that is what I am getting at. Honestly, do you even bother to see the bigger picture? I can spell it out for you: the cool and rich kids cant let go of their high school personas, so everyone that is not with them and their views is against them. Now imagine you are captain of the cheerleaders and majoring in closely to sports tied fields. what would the cool and rich kids do to someone that is in their eyes not "worth" to be cheerleader-captain or involved in their "prestigious" sports? Bullying would be the smallest problem I guess. Honestly it is that obvious but yeah, ignore all that and call her a two faced bitch for not wanting to endure hate, bullying, abuse and scorn the rest of her uni-years.
Same for the MC, you talk about him as if he accepts it without problem and it really doesn't bother him. "It doesnt bother me, I guess" <--- We will see down the line if it really doesnt bother him or not. He even asks her if she can not do her own thing instead of hanging out with these idiots. where her explanation about the situation starts to why she can't do anything against that, at the moment. If it didnt bother him he would not ask such a question. Seems logical, at least to me.
In my opinion the MC is not a pussy but pretty understanding. And honestly with how he looks he himself should be more than aware that he would be put in the "looser"category by these idiot-people. Especially with his already low self-esteem as we know. And if he was a pussy and push-over he would not have tried to stand up for Summer, even though he got beaten down. Which, oh wonder why, seems not to affect him that much, even though he got hit pretty hard in the face. Sure he did not hit back, but why should he? If that can be called a pussy-MC, oh well, I wonder what would be not a pussy-MC in your eyes. Care to elaborate?
For me the entire thing could as well be taken out of any other high-school/college/university drama, so yeah I dont see a problem where none is.
No I will not, its a legit comment. I dropped several games myself, just because the MC did not agree with me, the quality and story of the game be damned then. I just did not bother to post in these game-threads, since I know the Dev's will not change their characters just so they will be more to my liking. Best example would be BaDiK. Did not like the MC, even after a few updates, so I dropped the game, end of story for me.
