After playing pure Alpha and pure Beta and then settling on something in between this has turned out to be a really fun game.
Making MC not be a weirdly possessive asshole but also not a pushover bitch put me on a weird sort of hybrid path I've had a blast on.
Start off mildly passive so he is supportive of his mom dating again (because what kid wouldn't? The only initial red flag for Lucas is he's a black man in an AVN
) but when it turns out Lucas is a fucking cunt he supports his mom as a normal kid would and now the mom is off of Lucas and on alpha model path.
Because he's sorta passive at first he **barely** gets Maude's number (so you miss some early scenes) and also don't get Emma's number at first (miss her initial study date but that's it) and since he's not possessive and is friends with Marcus (again no initial red flags other than hes black) he doesn't set weird boundaries about who can talk to his sister so sister starts dating Marcus.
Then as MC gets more self confidence via his relationship with auntie and Maude and seeing that Marcus is actually kind of a fucking asshole MC starts to grow and dates Karla & Emma and also kind of stops being friends with Marcus (even going so far as to even the score of Marcus sleeping with Sunny by MC having threesome with slutty Blonde).
Great zero to hero route where the NTR actually motivates MC to stop being a bitch rather than succumbing to being a cuck and a lot better tone than the pure alpha route IMO. Right now everyone is with MC but Sunny who is still dating Marcus though it seems like she is starting to express some regret and come back around to the MC as she sees him become more confident.
My only complaints with this route is that it sucks that the only way to divert Sunny away from Marcus is to instead grind yourself into Sunny at the gym. I wish he could just say to her "hey he's an asshole be careful because I love you" the way MC did with the mom after her blow-up with Lucus. Also hate that if you allow Marcus/Sunny to happen MC will jerk off to them at them gym even with high confidence score (though that's the only cuckold type seen - When Marcus sends the video to MC he rightly tells him to fuck off and calls him an asshole).
Sunny does sleep with Marcus on this route so she is somewhat 'tainted' but I hope she can still be rescued (and god I cannot wait until MC fully cucks Marcus by stealing away slutty Blonde)
