Trying to set relationship variables with no real context is a pain in the ass. If you are not going to give clear context and a backstory that defines the relationships or hints at what they should be - then your dialog and interactions are not really going to make sense. I had to set Hannah as a mentor and the MC as friend since setting that variable also sets the relationship variable to other characters.

To clear it out for you guys. You should name the relationship like most VNs do. Here, I give you an example:

Hannah is the Landlady (m)
Scarlett is the Neighbor (ant)
Elizabeth is the Neighbor's daughter (cuz)

When asked about the relationship with Hannah:

Go with Fam / ily.

Will the MC be able to stand up and be a man, buff up some and get a haircut
Yes. As said before, the MC being how he is now is something that will change through the player's choice. Either keeping him how he is or change that and make him grow through tough situations is all up to you. If an MC is strong from the start, then there is no growth in character.

You wanted in for ntr, not the avoidable part
True, but maybe I can understand your doubt a little. If the game is going to focus on the "avoidable part," it means that the NTR is only 1 or 2 filler scenes, so those who are fans of that aren't going to waste their time on it (or they'll start whining for more content). On the other hand, if the game focuses on the NTR, competing for the girl, or it's a 50/50 split, those of us who don't like that content will end up ignoring it.

In the end, it's just a matter of deciding whether to give it a chance or just bury it once and for all.:unsure:

These people don't care about character growth. Every new thread has to deal with this. If they can't self insert as gigachad and bang all the stacys in a world where every other male is 5'4 with a micropenis, a flood of tears will ensue. It'll be over soon enough.

I think the real issue here is her botched bbl. The morph sliders could use some tweaking. Unless you truly like the way it looks. Then keep it and do your thing I guess.
