I liked the model for Nicki in the first chapter. But the the new model in Chapter 2, yeah not my cup of beer. Especially after trying all 3 routes (nice guy, control through money and pure asshole). It doesn't fit on the nice guy route at all. Yeah I admit, tattoos and pircings aren't very appealing to me, but I don't mind it as long as it doesn't get to extrem. But I think, especially on the nice guy route, it's WAY overboard. I agree with some of the other comments here, that it would be nice, to revert at least the tattoos, even if it just optional for the people who don't like them. And I hope we get a good explanation out of her, why she killed all ways for the MC to contact her and where she has been in the past three months. I got really bad vibes from her showing up looking this fucked up.
Regarding Ashe, I agree with the MC on the asshole route, she comes around like a dumb bimbo. Her model and background story is all fine, but the overuse of the word "like" is way to annoying. I liked the variety of choices with her and the scenes behind the choices. Also tried three possible outcomes with her.
I liked Gabby in this update the most. Because after the initial impression she made, she's just a young girl, that tries to be mature and wants to be treated like one. And I could in the end understand, why she was so rude in the beginning. I had a similiar experience with a girl I knew a few years back, so a can really symphatize with Gabby.
Madison is also interesting and I respect women, who are willing to do everything for their family. But I can't understand why someone would put money/work before the family. If it's really true, what Gabby said regarding Madison puts the shop first, I would definitly not support the shop, if she doesn't change her attitude. But that we will see.
Like with Nicki and Ashe, I also tried different outcomes with the choices and liked it that they have a impact not only on the current or following scene but further along.
At least for now, I will keep an eye on the game, especially regarding Nicki, because she will be some kind of red line of the story, even without sexual encounters, I'm slightly concerned and will decide maybe after the next one or two chapters/updates, if I will keep playing or dropping the game. It all depends on if we get the chances to change Nicki back or not.
Still want to make sure, that this is just my expression and my thoughts about what I would like to see. I will still respect the devs decissions regarding his/her game. And I still wish good luck with it.
