Why do people consider the episode ended on a cliffhanger if there's no true suspense? Does anyone actually think the MC has even a tiny chance to die? It's actually likely he'll soon end up even stronger than before after this.
I think it's a missed opportunity to have a girl injured instead. We know at least one VN that killed a LI, so in the back of our minds we would have felt there is a possibility it could happen again, however small. Now that's something that would have shaken and gripped me!

Cliffhangers aren't about suspense in the form of "will the hero get out of this jam?" They're about how. Very few creators would ever kill the main character.
Also no no no no no on hurting the girls to teach the MC a lesson. This is a lazy, overused trope. If a character is hurt or dies this should serve the story, not as motivation for the MC to be better. There's no good story reason for any of them to be hurt, because they're not reckless like Orion. Even if he were careless enough to put them in danger, they're not careless enough to let him.
And it would have no more suspense because we know that Caribdis isn't going to kill any of the girls.

Apparently after the shit storm he got for slaving Lauren out (in a very obviously bad choice by the player no less), I doubt Cari would do anything like that anytime soon, yes.
For me a cliffhanger is just a somewhat surprising situation you don't really know how the story will progress on from and that was exactly what the ending of 0.7 was for me.

Isn't it the same for cliffhangers in most series? Just think about popular fantasy / fighting anime like One Piece, Bleach or Fairy Tail, it happens there like every second episode. And most of the time, you know it won't happen anyway. That is why the discussion within F95 and discord focused on the question HOW MC would survive, not IF he would. Will his body die and he'll only be able to live in Eternum for now? Will Calypso save him? Will he be able to use his eternum powers in the real world? Lots of possibilities and even more to discuss!

Personally, I'd like to have Jerry still dying all the time in Eternum (it's his shtick), but IRL have him come in terms with Dalia not being into him and gunning for another girl (perhaps Kimberly, the girl with glasses in his quiz team waaay back in 0.1). That would make him available as a 10th member of the crew (Chang's 9, remember?) (or 11th if Calypso ends up being able to visit our world and dress in human clothes).
Jerry is full of himself and takes stupid decisions, but he's knowledgeable and Dalia recognizes he's a good guy, deep inside. He wasn't an antagonist like Axel was and have been actually participating in many adventures the group had (of course, mostly trying to impress Dalia).
