Having to choose is definitely the worst part of this game. That being said, it's not so terrible I don't enjoy the game. I am a little extra sorry that you get locked out of some girls earlier than others, so I can't have a single save line up to having to make the choice, save there, then play each route.
That being said, the game is a ton of fun, and most of the girls are amazing. For my first playthrough I'm going with the Josy/Maya path because as amazing as all the girls are, none of them can compete with two also awesome girls. I know some people are miffed about the way Josy and Maya weren't entirely open with the MC, and because of that, this route isn't their number one, and that's cool for them - but I understood why they acted the way they did, and never really felt they'd been dishonest about their feelings for the MC, and there wasn't any cheating or anything, so I could move past it.
Maybe when the game is done I'll be interested in playing the other paths, but it feels like for many of them I'd almost have to start over at the very beginning, and that's daunting.
