Does Elsa not know all of MC and she still demolishes his self esteem?
Yeah, she does.
Does Alice not know his standing and his troubles?
Yeah, she does.

Out of all the babes who know him, she is the one who wanted to know him,
spend time with him in his home, accepted his hugs and made him feel appreciated.
They should have stooped to low hanging fruit of hanging out, I know,
but this game is what it is ...
Yeah, but Lucy is only interested in the MC because she thinks that he is a bigshot and not just some random dude.
And even the MC knows this.

It just seems like you're looking at this game from a weird perspective. Sorry to say, but it seems like you're even more fragile irl than the MC is supposed to be, because of the way you're twisting the story in your head. Is Elsa's banter really so bad, considering her influence on the MC has actually been good for him? And it's not like the MC doesn't get the opportunity to banter back at her.
There's even a scene, where Elsa protects the MC from getting pranked with a permanent marker by another colleague. So your supposed devil incarnate doesn't even stoop as low as the MC's other colleagues.

Who wrote this script a Incel or a Feminist that wants you to hate the MC as much as possible?
That remains to be seen. Right now there isn't much to redeem the incel vibes, especially if you pursue Lucy. But it seems like people are hoping that this is supposed to be the major conflict of the story.

Being in the MC's psycho-emotional space is not a fun experience.
His social skills, never well developed, have degraded so bad he can't even play nice with the few friends he has in the office. Elsa is frank and brutal with him, but it's not like subtlety would have worked anyway. It would have just been lost on him.

Elsa is the typpical femme fatalle for MC: whatever she says goes, however she backstabbs MC, it never gets him into his better mind - brad pit woulda swept the floor with her,
alas .. we are living in the fragile ego of the office pet for any woman in the office.

Women that actually care, not the backstabbing work stealer insidious corporate spy
Elsa is, or the clueless heiress too out there to actually feel good in her skin, but like the
gorgeous babe who ASKS HIM OUT AT WORK 4 THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS GOOD IN
THIS twisted GAME WORLD - but dev had to make her invisible.

The neighbor, so sweet and welcoming, dev had to make her addicted to gold digging.

Babes in all our lives have life altering flaws that keep us from symbiosis.
We take the good and mittigate their bad with retort and assertiveness,
not goof balling into madness - the course Elsa and Alice keep plotting for MC.

Alice doesn't know MC enough to plot anything beyond doing her homework.
Elsa has kept the MC from doing really stupid shit. He is only in the game because of her advice.
The MC just happens to have a double helping of tunnel vision, obsessed as he is with Alice.
And it is obsession. Even he knows that. He just doesn't know if the alternative is better than the self-destructive path he's chosen.

Eh my two hopes for the next update(whenever that happens) are: Option for begone thot dialogue with the blonde(didnt even bother to remember her name) and more dialogues with Elsa....this one was much shorter then expected but the content was good overall.

She's not even a LI at this point in the game and it's not clear, if she ever will be (the story would probably be better off if she wasn't, but the porn content would suffer a big loss). I think seduction and infatuation are important attributes for the femme fatale archetype.

Who knows? Given all the effort she's invested in putting him on track and keeping him there she might just decide he's wasted on Alice and better off with her.

This was my first time playing this VN.

The story is really good so far. There are some interesting plots developing with the LI's. You can't really tell if the LI's are just using the MC or if they actually like him. Since the code indicates your decisions accumulate love and lust points - I'm guessing that whether the LI's fall in love with the MC or they just use him, will depend on how many love points you accumulate for each girl (and higher Alpha points and lower loser points, and lower EdwardSC points - which seem to be submission/submissive).

I think they've already telegraphed it; he's the princess and she's the knight that will save him. That said, the final goal will probably have them as equals/friends (and whatever plans Elsa has for the company) not necessarily as a romantic coupling.

BUT this is an erotic novel. MC has to get laid. The final goal is: MC conquers the pussy.
There is no way Our Beloved and Favourite Heroine will friendzone him.
