I hate to say it, but looks like the dev might have over did it with making Rachel so hated by so many.

If you refer to the last couple of pages, those are in reaction to someone starting the discussion with trying to absolve Rachel from every wrong doing. Of course the answers to that will focus on pointing out her bad aspects. Doesn't mean everyone hates her, it's just that if someone takes a very one-sided stance people will usually react with the opposite. Don't take that as a an actual picture of how people like or dislike her.

Aside from that I'd argue it's a good thing if people dislike Rachel right now. She was clearly written to be annoying and to be disliked, so people having the reaction they are supposed to means the writing achieved what it wanted. Also it means the redemption arc and payoffwill be greater once it happens (although of course the more disliked the character is the better the writing has to be in order to turn the audience around. But considering everything we got so far I'd say we don't have to worry about that being pulled off successfully)

I like to believe the Dev has something special in mind for her. The 3 main girls already green lit anything the MC wants to do to her. I think it will happen in the next update.

The character Rachel with all she does only shows that she is a naive, stupid, stubborn girl... you can synthesize more concepts from your perspective but if you call her evil or Cruel, that is the evil way of thinking towards a small, weak, lonely girl, who despite being shunned and hated, is still willing to try to investigate and collect evidence for a case that she believes is and will harm many other girls!
She was just trying to do everything she could to stop what she thought was a bad thing and tried to investigate herself, gather evidence to find out the truth! In the end, she accepted her punishment and willingly bowed her head to receive it!
A big, talented guy whose ego was seriously hurt because he was falsely accused by a small, lonely girl, a smart, experienced guy but unable to defend himself, unable to understand and lack compassion to the point of hating a tiny, lonely girl like that? Is he also not aware enough to understand that eccentric, lonely people like Rachel are more susceptible to psychological trauma leading to negative actions than many normal people? Or is MC simply a mentally ill person, weak and vulnerable to the point of losing control?

Does anyone here know that besides the proactive and lustful girls, there are many girls out there with different personalities that can bring about colorful love affairs? Rachel is one of those girls and one of those diverse shades, a different girl and more difficult to conquer, a girl who makes men have to be stronger and smarter instead of everything being easy like a guy with a cream cake that makes female flies automatically come to lick and suck, so boring.
But this MC instead of many ways to conquer her, just got angry, destroyed her like destroying a hostile man! Men don't need to destroy women and also have many interesting ways to conquer or even retaliate, punish girls! This MC doesn't even have any feelings for Rachel's pretty appearance, this is strange for a porn game, especially with the Harem tag and role-playing narrative... instead of conquering, we have to hate and destroy a pretty girl???

I wish Cosy Cafe didn't narrate in gameplay by using the word "you" when referring to the MC or giving players options to interact in the game, it would be more suitable for this way of narration and player can choice what to do with Rachel!

I hope you dont get falsely acused by a girl my sweet summer child i lost a friend that way

Just ignore the obvious troll, people. That brainless...thing hasn't said a single worthwhile word about anything since it joined the thread. That thing's constant wilful ignorance and blatant disregard for reality clearly shows no-one here stands to gain anything at all from trying to speak to it.

So just choose the only sane option available and ignore it. Trust me, you will absolutely not be missing out on anything even remotely "worthwhile."

Yeah I'm not a massive fan of her either, but then again I didn't particularly care for Misaki before the last update and now I'm quite interested. Cosy is definitely capable of turning public opinion around.

I think the hardest part will be not folding to public pressure and rushing Rachel's 'redemption.' It would probably make more narrative sense to have her be a bitch for a while longer, but that will inevitably lead to people complaing for the next couple of updates.

I love it. I make a post about how it's been crazy reading the last few pages and it gets deleted by a mod saying Reason: No more of this.
Because I'm the problem and not the guy that is either trolling or delusional about Rachael. Very nice.

Hello.

I keep getting notifications with no update, and I scrolled twice to see that some people are complaining about some of the characters?
Meh! Talking about a game, positively or negatively, is good though.

I just wanted to say that I love this game, it has that nice balance of dom MC without being mean - abusive, cute girls, balanced amount of H scenes, good dialogue, progression, and the list goes on.

Thank you, Dev, I very much enjoy this game!
