Ep 4 was released in January of this year so you will have played up to ep 3. This year we've had eps 4 and 5, and ep 6 is weeks away from release.
What the hell are you trying to do, HB?! This is 2020! It doesn't need any help jynxing things! At least knock on wood after an optimistic assertion like that!
MC isn't a cheater. MC is her fuckbuddy and they are not in a relationship yet. And it doesn’t make sense to create a character in a VN game, develop her as a character, have her as a romantic option and then take her from the game.
As far the MC cheating, it's a tricky question because cheating is often a case of different people having different unspoken ground rules. As Jill says, it can make one a bit uncomfortable even before the details get spicy.
For the most part, I think the MC is in the clear by the end of Episode 5. He can fool around with plenty of girls (assuming he chooses to, obviously), but most of them are clearly just flings. Maya & Josy are more than that, but they explicitly agree to no strings attached [
![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
]. I do, however, see two things that could raise legitimate questions.
First, while his relationship with Jill is still in the early stages, it's pretty clear she's interested in developing it further. I don't think she would accuse the MC of cheating if she found out he was also sleeping with everyone else on campus, but I do think she would be hurt by it. So while it's not cheating, it is something similar. Also, were this ever to come up, I strongly suspect Jill would insist the MC to change his ways if he wants to continue developing a relationship with her. Continuing to fool around beyond that really would be cheating.
Second, while the MC is single, Sage continues to insist she is in a relationship with Chad... and the MC knows it. If he agrees to be her fuck buddy, that IS definitely cheating for her and arguably for the MC as well. I doubt any of us are going to lose sleep over the harm done to Chad, but that doesn't make what the MC is doing
okay. It just makes it easier to ride out the consequences if we get caught.
