It's not Netorare because that typically involves cheating. It's not netori either because he's into it. John Boy isn't a cuck.
Is voyeur more accurate?
Yeah, I think it depends on what is considered to be ‘cheating’ or being ‘unfaithful’. Arguably you can’t be either if it’s consensual. That said I think the ‘internet‘ would say he’s a cuck.
Well if it follows that format lots of people will be leaving the game for while because i see it pretty boring. And just to fill in i can bet you the mystery of the mother will be solved in maybe 4 episodes and every single plot will be boring without the which girl to choose drama. I hope the game dosent become large but i wont be surpirsed if after the end of season 4 the game will be extended considering is on Steam
We’ve had a party free roam in 4 out of the past 5 episodes, so I wouldn’t be particularly surprised if we get another in episode 10. Each relationship has it’s own continuing drama.
Sage has the HoTs fucking her dad, the MC fucking her mum, and Quinn dealing drugs. Bella has Jill and her husband.
Jill has Bella and her sister (and MCs mums connection to her) as well Bianca.
Maya and Josy have their own relationship drama, Maya’s student loan situation and Josy’s relationship with Tommy.
Bella obviously has her husband as well as situation with Jill. Not to mention that Burke clearly wants to fuck her, wouldn’t be surprised if he tries to blackmail her over her relationship with MC.
What was the tease that the next episode will take place at Christmas? Are you referring to the Christmas animation at Bella's house at the beginning of the episode? Imo, that could mean a lot of things. Initially, it seemed to me like that was just something DPC threw in as a "hey, this episode is coming out around Christmas, so here's a little gift for y'all", although that wouldn't really explain the ominous theme of it, but it being a tease for next episode doesn't really explain it being at the beginning of this episode either. I could chalk up the eerie theme to DPC trying to mix the Christmas season release with the Halloween season theme of the episode.
It could also be like you said, but it's actually a well-known joke (at least in America) that the Christmas season is celebrated immediately after Halloween and Thanksgiving gets pretty much ignored except for on the day itself, so I personally think that's more likely than DPC skipping the entire rest of the semester and going into winter break. Although judging by this last episode skipping everything between episode 8 and Halloween, I guess its not that unbelievable.
I think (and I could be wrong on this) that the Christmas animation was supposed to play at the end of the episode, like the Halloween mansion one at the end of 8. It played in the wrong place in the 9.0 version but if you play 9.1 I think It now plays at the end. It could be a tease for the end of season, but that would be a little odd itself.
I think as a European telling a story set in the US it would be very strange not to do a thanksgiving event. In most media out of the states, thanksgiving is given similar significance to Christmas, if not greater due to the non denominational nature of it. After a quick Google thanksgiving is the most popular holiday in the US.

Even if you ignore that Thanksgiving is certainly A top 4 (Christmas, Halloween, Independence Day and Thanksgiving).
Not that much time was skipped between Episode 8 and 9. Maybe a week at most. Midterms were finished, which would be mid to late October, results aren’t published yet and classes for the new term haven’t started either.
I agree jumping 6 to 8 weeks, to Christmas would be a big time leap, so I guess we’ll see what happens.
DPC confirmed that the big minigame of season 2 was to fix the mansion and the minigame of season 3 will be to plan the parties, the minigame will continue in the next 3 episodes until the end of the season. I just hope that the parties and minigames take up less than 40% of the episodes and that the events move forward.
The minigame tends to only take up as much time as you want to put into it. I like to min max these things so spend to long on it. I think we’ll continue to have at least one party free roam an episode as has been the case in 4 out 5 of the last episodes. It might be we get two parties in one episode, similar to how we got two or three (?) mansion cleaning mini games in some episodes. I guess it could be some parties have more than one planning phase.
Without chit-chat, when will the next episode be released?

July to October based on similar episode size to 8 or 9, with production rates inline with 9. If he upgrades his rigs or makes a smaller episode June is possible.
