Nice story, good amount of drama, stunning characters..... only the whole maledom and submission genre doesn't exactly tickle my fancy but oh well, it is what it is xD

I have a question though, will the MC quit being so stubborn regarding the Founding Families? I mean, instead of just refusing being part of them, why don't you start becoming a "master", and not just with the girls?

as Cosy already stated the first ingame time skip is approaching.
i am curious about how the state off LI's will be at that point, will Rachel start being integrated as a LI? same with Elizabeth?!
also will we get the requested and acknowledged to come Annebelle content?

Akira whilst also being a Main LI i doubt we'll see a lot on that front until we've hit the 3rd time skip and enter chp.4 "culinary college" unless a Cooking match won by the MC dramaticly changes that.
Note: Only 1 spoiler, and it is indicated below (but stated here by the dev, so only a spoiler if you haven't seen that post). Everything else has been hinted to, or said outright in V11 of the game.

My bet? Wrapping things up before the first time skip will have the following:
* Rachel will get the open job at the cafe as a waitress. Either that, or something will happen so that she will start to hang around the group more. The time skip will maybe smoothe out some rough edges of her prickliness, or not. MC will punish her accordingly.
* We won't see Hannah, or Catherine made official girlfriends. There will be progress on their story by understanding more about them, and the time skip will allow them to become more friendly with the other girls and like being at the cafe. It doesn't make sense to rush them into the harem yet, unless there is a major revelation at the next FF meeting. However, both girls have their own issues to sort out, which preclude them from being in the harem yet (Catherine's reluctance, Hannah's betrothal to Brian). It's going to just happen as time happens.
* Sarah will be made a girl friend. I doubt she will have sex with the MC. She is too shy, and MC wont rush her. So she might give the MC head, or something like that. She is also FF, so purity and marriage are also things to think about in her story.
* Akatsuki, Lucy, and Vicky will fall into their patterns, and we may learn more about their backgrounds, etc. Outside of that, really not much as they are part of the Harem already.
* Akari (I assume you meant that when you said Akira) - I bet something will happen. She is a tease, so I bet she would show up at the cafe or something and tease the MC. I doubt a cookoff will happen, and I doubt anything major will happen. Like you said, more for later acts.
* Elizabeth - She might have some plan, or something to deal with the FF, but I doubt she will come up with anything, or have much content, outside of maybe the next FF meeting.
* Alison - She will advise the MC, and they might have a date or something (like they did the previous Sunday). Doubt much progresses with her, outside of strategy and maybe learning more about her. She is a slow and steady kind of gal, and I bet it will be a time before she jeopardizes her headmistress job, for the MC. She will probably be more of a Act II or Act III character
* Misaki - She knows who the MC is, and MC pushes her gently, and she gets more confident. Doubtful anything major happens before the skip. I mean she has to think about her career. She is probably more of a Act 2 or 3 character.
* Annabelle - we may see her again, but doubt anything major happens unless it is at a FF event.
* #13 LI (Charlotte) - (we haven't met, and doubt we will met her before the skip).

That covers the 13 main LI. Outside of that, we have a FF meeting, so there will be some Russell plot to change/sabotage things. I bet Jack calls Harriet (he asked for her number from Hannah), and start to try to fix things between Gilbert and Alison. There is the Goth event in the cafe the next weekend so I am sure there is another flyers escapade. There will be another school project meeting.

I doubt there will be a major cliffhanger at the time skip. This is a "Cosy" story after all, and most things will either be put on hold, gently marinate, or be wrapped up during the 2 month time skip. Based on what Cosy has said, there will be a detailed "this is what happened during the time skip" sort of montage. It is 2 months. Doubt any major milestones will be hit during that timeframe. There are logical breaks in the story, so that seems to be where things will be "put on hold". V12 covers Thursday and Friday. V13 will cover Saturday and Sunday, V14 will cover Monday and Tuesday (FF day). V15/16 will probably cover everything to get us to wrap everything up for the time skip.

I don't go to the discord any more *cough* but I seem to recall a comment from Cosy that indicated that she wouldn't be back for quite a while (act 2 perhaps, but probably later). I could be wrong, but I think that's what he said.

* Alison - She will advise the MC, and they might have a date or something (like they did the previous Sunday). Doubt much progresses with her, outside of strategy and maybe learning more about her.

I see her, and Misaki, as both being 'on hold' (or at least, secretive) to a large degree until after MC graduates (act 3)...Pretty hard to explain away the headmistress & a teacher 'dating' a student, even if he is the head of a FF. That's not to say nothing will happen (especially with Misaki), but it'll be on the quiet, and largely a slow burn.

I think Alison's next big story arc will be the reconciliation with her father, and I'd also say the Hannah engagement storyline largely hinges on this (resolving one will require resolving the other...a bit of a chicken/egg situation), and when you put them together...It suggests delay might be the more prudent option. Maybe a start will be made ( Gilbert & Alison speak ), and the description of the timejump says they talk some more during that time.

Of course, the counter to that is that I doubt the MC is going to spend the next 2 months or so meekly voting with Hamilton, which suggests that SOMETHING has to change at or before the next council meeting...He needs to go independent...I just can't see a full Alison reconciliation/Hannah engagement break, Hamilton/Russell fallout as they both get spurned by Fletcher/Gilbert respectively, and the inevitable (immediate start after the engagement break, but still needing time to resolve) follow up of Hannah allowing herself to believe in the MC/Harem. I'm just not sure where a pin can be stuck in the middle of all that so it can be put on hold for 2 months. More likely, and much simpler, would be that enough proof of Hamilton's involvement with Sarah's stalker comes out and forces him to make the break....although that makes him an enemy of both Hamilton and Russell.

I'm sure Cosy knows what he's doing, and we'll just have to wait to see how it pans out, but clearly there are a couple of big plot/timing decisions coming up soon.

Wait hold on, Annabelle is considered main LI now? She's in the side character list isn't she? Was there something I missed here? I thought there were only 11 LI's?

Don't mind me if I'm completely wrong here and I've just been ignorant lol.

I'm not saying that Annabelle being promoted to main LI is a bad thing, because it isn't, but I was fairly sure she was just a side character.

Also who's Charlotte lol?

We haven't been introduced to Charlotte yet, unless I missed something. And as for Annabelle, I'm not sure if she has actually been bumped up or not, but she is probably the one most likely to be moved to main LI as she's a bit of a fan favorite.

He's gone from 12 main LIs to 10 main LIs and 3 'associate' LIs (Annabelle, Elizabeth, and, I think, Charlotte). Basically they're still significant, but will get less screen/plot time.

Looking forward to Rachel's inclusion in the harem! Knowing Cosy, Rachel's character will definitely be redeemed just like Catherine's.


On a side note, I can already imagine the MC going ham on Rachel's ass :KEK:

View attachment 4569396
Same dude. It would be absolute shite if she remained the same. I'm sure a redemtion arc is the works for Rachel and I cannot wait to see that one 180. Given the events of the club room with Lucy and when she tried to cut off the mc, she's probably an unconscious mega sub

There are 10 main love interests. There are 3 side love interests. The 3 side love interests will play significant parts of the story, and be in the MCs orbit, but will not be collared, wife, living with the MC material. This is according to Cosy, and via public posts here and Discord. If you want to see the list, click the spoiler below:

* 10 Main LI: Akari Akatsuki, Lucy, Vicky, Sarah, Catherine, Hannah, Misaki, Alison, and Rachel
* 3 Side LI: Elizabeth, Annabelle, Charlotte (a childhood friend we haven't met yet)

I don't recall that comment, but wouldn't surprise me. She is going to factor in the end of things, and is not a "main" LI, however she will be playing a big part in the story later on. Not sure when, only Cosy knows.

I agree, I doubt the MC pushes Misaki and Alison to full girlfriend status until near the end of school year.

I don't think the MC is meekly following things. He is doing things according to Alison's plan. He might get more comfortable with how things work around the Christmas break, and understand the politics, etc. As for Hannah/Alisons arcs, well we might see some movement there, but I doubt any resolution until near the end of the school year. The engagement is supposed to be "quiet" until after they graduate and turn 18 (which they are). We shall see how things work out. There is many years of dev time in the game and story. We shall see how it all plays out.

She is a child hood friend/former girlfriend of the MC. She will show up sometime, and throw a monkey wrench into things. When we see her, not sure, but she has not been introduced as of yet. She will be considered an associate LI.

My recollection of the Elizabeth comment was more my reaction of of disappointment, because I like the character and was disappointed that she wouldn't be around for a considerable time...Sorry I don't remember more.

Meek was probably the wrong word. I just don't see Alison's plan working for 2 months+. The idea is for the MC to gain power/influence, and while that might work initially with going along with Hamilton, it's already been mentioned that Hamilton is gaining power behind the scenes due to his perceived control over Fletcher, so I don't think MC or Alison would be happy for that to continue for that long (especially given the Sarah/stalker arc). I'd also think the MC will have a chat with Mr Gilbert, and while a formal alliance wont be established (yet), an 'in principle' understanding will be found which will allow the MC to pursue a more independent path (acting as the balance of power between the 2 factions) without compromising the goal of gaining power (and thus, Hannah).

Personal hope is that Gilbert does the 'honourable' thing and repays the favor MC's grandfather did by acting as a mentor to the MC, just like grandfather did to him....but of course there is nothing to indicate that this will happen...At least, not yet.

I think (hope?) that both the Hannah/Alison arcs and the Rachel arc are handled so that the ground work will be laid before the break (Alison talking to her father, Rachel becoming part of the group) and then the break will have comments about how those became more regular/comfortable things, leaving things open after the timejump for more development.

I don't know how the MC is going to go forward with the FF stuff. I don't know if Cosy is going to throw a major curve at the next FF event. But there is lots more story to come, and having to have all the threads wrapped up before the time skip, really doesn't matter, as the next version is just going to have Christmas, and another set of weeks to have fun. More story can be had, etc. Unless Elizabeth shows up with a miraculous strategy, I doubt the status quo wont be broken before the time skip.

Gilbert might take on a mentor type role, but already MC has Alison, his daughter. He might stop by for a chat, but doubt it will be a weekly drinks and cigars with him type thing. As for Alison/Hanna's stories, I mean, I doubt much will happen. Baby steps, and maybe having a conversation, but not much more. As for Rachel, I bet she will take Lucy's vacated position as a waitress, and that starts her arc. Girls might not be happy, but who else will take it?

my theory on how the balance of power will shake out: Right now we know the "leaders" of the two factions are the Hamiltons and the Russells, so I think MC (or maybe someone else like Catherine) will somehow figure out a way to get the Bennetts on his side, and when Gilbert learns that the MC is a good guy and that siding with him would probably be a good move then he will join with the Fletcher-Bennett crew. making it a 3-1-1 split on the council.

There are a lot of details to iron out, like helping the Bennett's with their money problems, and having Allison reconcile with her father. But that's how I think it will go
