I am thankful for this game not being Harem because I can enjoy (and suffer) trying to pick a girl, which as of now lies between Koko, Raiko, Valentina and Levy (if she's actually a LI). Every single other character (not just girls, everyone!) can absolutely fuck off.
I was about to write about how Falazio is a poorly written character but I usually try to give opinion on writing after playing on different days so I'm able to pick up stuff I missed in my first read and also reduce bias.
BUT, two things I CAN say about him right now is:
1- He has way too much screentime, I'm hoping he's not an antagonist and gets more screentime otherwise I'll destroy my CTRL key playing this in the future;
2- He strikes as someone that is trying too hard to not be taken seriously, and no one in this city being able to see through it to me is bullshit. In his first dialogue my immediate reaction of him was "he's playing a character", and after several hours playing multiple routes I still have this opinion.
Back to the game, even though MC can distance romantically from LIs, he can't distance yourself from his friends. I don't trust neither Avis, Simon and especially Falazio but I'm stuck with them. My distrust to them is so high at this point that I made a whole new main Koko file just so I could go back and tell her to keep lying to them about her identity.
Main plot is likely centered on Koko and yeah she's nice and adorable and RICH, but I can't ignore my doubt if she'll be worth the troubles MC will likely get because of her.
While I was playing I decided to put my chips on Raiko to be my favorite, because while she has issues, none of them are particularly toxic or can put his life at risk. But the main reason was because I thought Valentina wasn't going to have more focus due to not being in MC's inner circle, then I came back here to this thread just to see Valentina being the dev's fucking profile picture and my head just exploded because...
Valentina is bae, I grew to like her so much that I want to see her happy more than I want her to have H-scenes.
And finally Avis/Serena plot became irrelevant to me, I can't picture MC building a healthy relationship with either of them.
That's all for now, I'll play again in a couple days and see if any of my opinions change...
