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

 

[Rob_31415926]

* 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.

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. 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

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.

* 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).

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.

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?

 

[shitass1001]

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

I was curious about the development of Cosy Cafe these last couple years, so I made this chart to show its history.



You can see how the number of words, images, and videos in the current public release has changed over time. Intervals are marked with the amount of time between releases, plus the average rate of words and images added per day. The bar graph shows how much content each update has added, with the tallest bars being the updates that added the greatest number of words, images, and videos, respectively.

The time elapsed between releases has increased over the last year, but the average rate of words added over time has remained steady. The rate of images added has generally increased over time. The last update added an exceptional number of videos.

It looks like Cosy Cafe will exceed one-quarter of a million words when 0.12 arrives; quite the milestone! Thanks to Cosy Creator for working hard for well over two years to bring us this excellent story.

Daaaaamn... That is some hot compiled data right there! I think I may need to save that for posterity, if you know what I mean.
