First of all, I must say that I am happy to be born and live in Germany. The whole shit with the study money is not so blatant in Germany. We have a good social system in itself.
According to my understanding, and I know I'm repeating myself, the game is about growing up. MC has the choice whether he wants to do that as DIK or as CHICK.
The DIK will be the one full of fun, lots of girls and probably illegal. You will still be able to interact with all the Li, but they will probably all drop away over time.
The CHICK path will also bring fun, girls. But the path will be more difficult. That's where the MC will have to make tough decisions. He will not be able to escape the consequence of his decision.
DPC has warned us all in EP 4. However, you can only read it if you go on the Maya/Josy path. When MC holds his speech about the decisions that one should follow his heart, even if it becomes difficult.
Look at the brotherhood of the DIK. Until the moment MC speaks, it is a downward spiral. Everyone was a lone fighter before that.
I will not and will not tell anyone how to play the game. I don't.
But who wants to have a LI at the end, I think to myself, should think well with the decision with the FakeID, because DPC finally sets the course, whether you continue to play with the AFFINITY DIK or CHICK. And you can not change after this decision. That's what it says in the official walkthrough.
