That sounds like Nicki's pov but why didn't Guy ask? Why didn't she? What's Guy pov of the entire thing?
It's never explicitly said (I think..) but Guy losing all his money on a crypto rug-pull basically fucked him up for the next several years, financially and emotionally. He took a big, bold swing and was immediately punished for it. After that, the idea of trying to leave his crappy job, or ask out his cute coworker, would evoke a similar fear of failure. So, it felt safer to just enjoy what he had - stable employment that kept a roof over his head, and a pseudo-relationship that provided him some emotional intimacy.
well the topic was sort of touched upon briefly with Nicki, and I'd totally be into it. Would be a nice conclusion to their story.
the fact that she never went to guy for help when he would of been the easy solution because she valued their friendship and didn't want to take advantage of him and choose to suffer for those 3 - 6 months she ghosted. Shows this also the fact she only asked for a place to stay for a few days at the most and felt guilty about how good Guy has been treating her ( light path). Hell she didn't even want to ask for the money in chapter 1 to begin with. Which is why it takes her so long to open up to the idea of a serious relationship as she doesn't think she deservers such happiness or love because of her guilt, just shows how great a character she is and wrote.
Yeah, Nicki is Li Hall of Fame material for sure. That's part of what makes the light path in this so easy, the others are nice and pretty but no one really comes close (for me anyway). And most of the others wouldn't be around if it weren't for the money.
Nicki for me is the best written path so far and my favorite story wise unsure if her or Risa is my favorite when it comes to the actual character. Followed by Ashe for me. While what you say about the money is true even to a small degree take Ashe and Risa for example even tho they aren't about the money. Risa just thinks Guy can help because of his money and Ashe probably would of never met guy if it wasn't for the money haha.
Unfortunate you and others feel that way, because I'd say the writing is the main selling point by a long shot. True, I found this game while searching for dark genres and I might not have discovered it otherwise, and I'm sure that's the case for a number of others. But I feel like a lot of people are projecting their own preferences and experiences with this game onto the larger audience, which might not be representative. But either way, the game's writing is what truly stands out in the end. Even other popular games that are recommended because of their writing, I don't find nearly as compelling as this one. That's quite a feat.
Nice
The amount of people saying she was a gold-digging weasel I don't understand lol the game's writing itself clearly points more in the other direction.
not really a harem game, you can fuck around if you want in the middle route where you don't commit to anyone, but that ain't a harem. There is so far one romance route with Nicki, if you cheat on her you can fuck that up... options are here for that but I'm not into that. Ashe could be a second romance route, but nothing committed so far. Then there is the dark route, that again ain't a harem.
Dev said corruption route will have full harem, and the romance routes will have throuples and poly(more then 2), I never said full harem, but mini harem.
When I first started playing this game people were bitching about Nicki all the time but lately I have noticed lots more people like her which is good.Unfortunate you and others feel that way, because I'd say the writing is the main selling point by a long shot.

Guy seemed quite meek and shy at the start of the game, and let's be real, there are way more guys that can identify with that than with a confident lady's man, and that makes a great MC. I wouldn't be surprised if the game leans even harder in that direction for the chp 1 remake; we might see Nicki showing interest in the MC that might seem obvious to the player, but MC might either avoid it or just simply be oblivious to it, because he has such a low opinion of himself. The story shift is that the money has only made it much easier to be his confident true self, which is why the moral choices work so well because it's open-ended on what his 'true self' was that he was shying away from. Just my take on the story.
I did notice I was very harsh towards Nicki, when all she really did was stick with a shitty b.f.
I really liked Nicki from go. For me she never really had any competition.
