Great start I just hope the project doesn't become overly ambitious with all the characters and paths its introducing.
It depends on how many paths were started, as there are a LOT of combinations. How many LI saves do you have? What job did you select for her? Does Emily break up Charlotte and Liam, let them date, or pick one of them for herself? That alone is 3 variations. How does she handle Isabelle and Connor? There's a few variations here. Then how does Emily handle Vicky and Jules? That's another 3 variation there. Then, what job does she take? the Club, Nightclub, Sugarbabe, and/or Modeling? If at the club, how does she handle Gus and the patrons? If at the nightclub, how does she handle Mike and the patrons?
It's not just a matter of a quick replay of all possible combinations of things Emily can do... as Vicky's interactions with Emily differ depending on if she models, works at the club, or is using Sugarbabe, for example.
Can you imagine what that'll be like on Day 14 or 21? What the number of combinations and variations will require on an update of a half-day that forces a full restart?
As an aside, with Ren'Py, unless older content is being visually or narratively reworked, there should be almost no reason to force complete restarts. Why is that?
- One can define new variables on the fly, at any point in the game and code. From the first few lines of the script.rpy file, to the Day300.rpy file of a 300 day game. It's all good!
- If you decide you don't like the naming convention of your variables? That's easy to do with a quick Google search for Python (create new variable using the value of the old variable then delete old variable). Can be lumped in as part of the below bullet point.
- If you need to go back and retroactively change/fix backend things like variables, Ren'Py already thought of that with a reserved label called 'after_load'. The description for it is: "If it exists, this label is called when a game is loaded. It can be use to fix data when the game is updated." As long as it's not a narrative rework, it can probably fit here. It's a fantastic feature of RenPy that is not used enough.
- Details for the label can be found here:
You must be registered to see the links. I threw together a hypothetical scenario in a different game thread here for it.

Not a serious error, but in Emily/Vicky sex scene the narration refers to Vicky like half the time with "his/him" pronouns instead of "her". As Vicky didn't indicate she's going to transition, it's a bit of "uhh, what" coming from left field. 
Also, when spying on Charlotte/Liam scene, there's a file error:
edit: one more bug, during Day 5:
The value "liam" only indicates that MC asked Liam for help, but didn't (yet) follow through with an actual study session. Once she does, the relevant variable is set to

Also, when spying on Charlotte/Liam scene, there's a file error:

Python:
if helpstudy =="liam":
e "What Liam explained to me is starting to pay off."
$ update_study(3)liam+. That latter variant isn't checked and the game treats it like Emily studied entirely on her own, which costs her 1 study point: she gets +2 instead of +3 to her study score.edit2:
Python:
if exam > 1:
e "I passed mine too, actually. I was so relieved."
ch "That’s fantastic, Emily! I’m so proud of you."
else:
e "I didn’t do so well... I failed."exam > 0 because value of 1 indicates passed exam. I think this was already reported earlier in the thread.

Why does this have the Netorare tag when it's a Female Protagonist? Is her boyfriend/husband cheating?

Love your game. Love all the corrupting paths Emily can travel. Would love it if you could find a way to incorporate "incest" into the game. Other devs who are on Patreon seem to find ways to skirt their stupid rules and have the "I" in their games.
Emily can have sex with Vicky (on Friday, in the morning) if their relationship is high enough. From the content in the game so far it also seems like a triangle with Vicky and Connor (or Vicky and Jules) are possible down the road.
Check out the job at the club at first opportunity, accept the job, ask for an advance, name the biggest amount, accept his offer.
Unsure, but a number of romanceable characters has sex with other people early in the game so i guess that would fall under NTR for some people, since it's "someone i like and want to romance is having sex and/or feelings for someone else".

<< someone i like and want to romance is having sex and/or feelings for someone else.>>
No! This does not NTR, it has to be a serious relationship, boyfriend or husband, girlfriend or wife.You can argue, but this definition can be very loose and different from how you view it -- e.g. there are Japanese games with "NTR" right in the title which have plot like "MC has a crush on another student in his class and she's getting fucked by other dudes". And i'd wager Japanese have better idea what they can call NTR than random foreigners.<< someone i like and want to romance is having sex and/or feelings for someone else.>>

theres a less well-known term for that kind of ntr called bss( mc likes fmc, but she either doesnt know or doesnt care so fucks with someone else). then there's wss (roles reversed) i think the term is still catching on cuz only some comics use them
back then the ntr term was used for more specific stuff too, it only became a loose definition relatively lately because of how many people use it for other related situations iirc. not arguing with you, just giving more context and stuff
Had to check for a parody tag lol, this art style really puts me in mind of a lot of 90's cartoons. Great stuff.

It's promising. Might support the dev in the future if they keep at it.
Ran into a bug. during the Vicky scene after the exam it says I passed, but later with Charlotte it says I failed

I don't know how to explain this error, especially as it's written in hard copy in the text... my bad. It's in 6 days, on Friday
I change that!
Thank you
