I'm going to have to replay it too now lol.
I think you guys should try to play it an other time because I think you missed out on a number of crucial story elements that were covered several times already during the prologue. In addition, know that my concern is to remain as realistic as possible from a psychological point of view. If you did not find this realistic, it may be that an element of the scenario escaped you or may be due to an element of the future scenario which has not yet been communicated to you (what represents the MC in the eyes of this girl, what are her ideological and spiritual beliefs, her relationship to sexuality and love, etc.).
Moreover, concerning the different paths, know that the dark path will be quite present during the game and is already begins during this prologue (path submission). However, it will take some adaptation time for the MC to be able to extend his psychological influence (submission vs. independence) without any permanent damage (anxiety vs. happiness). If the MC is too rough from the start, the growing anxiety can lead to dramatic consequences. This is why psychological violence must be favored over physical violence (except in cases of sexual punishment).
Anyway, thank you for playing the game and sorry for those whose experience was not perfect, but please know that we are listening to you and we take your feedback seriously. So don't hesitate to come back again when you have understood more precisely the details of the scenario.
Good game !
