Unless the UK has different rules when it comes to their exchange student program I'm pretty sure you still need to be enrolled at a school there in order to avail said program. So Orion, Chang, and Annie still have to go back to finish their studies there before they can go wherever they wish afterwards (like Penny's college in Orion's case).

But if that were to happen while Orion is still sorting his feelings then it'll be a fucking shitshow and might end up breaking the group. No, Orion needs to be at the very least sure about how he feels before he makes the commitment. It might not happen in a reflection event, but it needs to happen prior to the confrontation so that Orion can give them his honest and heartfelt thoughts on the matter (which will likely be what sways the girls to form the harem).

I don't know the UK system in detail. that student exchange program could be like an internship in a company, set at the end of the school year and lasts until graduation. going back would be just to get the paper diploma. MC arrives during the school year in the US, it didn't seem like the beginning of a new school year.

it's all magic, so by definition, nothing is "weird"

those comments from Caribdis sure that trolling us hard. and he is right. what about Chang?! will MC's fate seal the outcome with Micaela too ? :p

I enjoy drama in AVNs. so a shitshow would be welcomed :) especially for manwhore MC being forced to deal with the consequences of their choices when he is not ready at all. You can resolve it later, because it is also something that MC could need to sort out his feelings. You don't know the real value of something until you no longer have it, that kind of reasoning.

I would also be interested by stories that would have some drama that bumps the MC out of a LI's path, back to the friendzone, for it to have opportunities to jump back on the path. In all the VNs I played through, it's always choices that ejects you from the path, but nothing to come back afterwards. if there is a "come back" story, the drama happened before the beginning of the game

What is the worst thing a killer robot can do to you?

Ask you uncomfortable and awkward questions at gunpoint?

Threaten to terminate you with extreme prejudice?

Nope, the worst thing a killer robot can do is sing "Daisy Bell" before it does any of that.

The problem with this is that Cari isn't exactly known for writing heavy drama in his work (hell, his last work basically didn't had THAT much drama, and stuck through its comedy-adventure fest story for the most part). And by heavy I mean the kind of shit that leads to ongoing conflicts or drama that spans throughout the update or multiple updates like the ones in other AVNs like, say, Leap of Faith or Summer's Gone or STWA: Unbroken. Nor do his patrons back on his Discord want to see it go that route, as they view Eternum as more of an adult mystery adventure story with dashes of comedy, horror, and drama (with the lewds as a sort of "bonus"). And knowing Cari he'll likely not overextend the heaviness of his work and will only use drama when the plot requires it, and not the other way around like in some AVNs where the drama IS the plot.

Are there any guides out there on how to create renders this good?

Highly unlikely, Caribdis is using a heavily modded version of Honey Select 2 and is quite proficient with it. One can always try to learn the difficult and impactful stuff like lighting and scenery but I would not hold my hopes up high to get to this level ever.
Like, there are games that I personally think may look better but none in HS2. This right here is about as peak as it gets.

light drama works in eternum. like Dalia resenting MC for seeing her naked, or for revealing the password to her private server, or MC raping her after she repeatedly said no, or Penny feeling betrayed if MC convinces her to flash her tits to Valentino.
that level of drama can work when confronting MC for his feelings, and MC not being ready to answer. bumping him to the friendzone until he sorts his feelings out. we already have a light version of that if MC gives some hope to Annie at the start of the game but backs out and stay friends instead.
