I am not sure is it already 5 pages but we do this discussion about Nicki every 5 pages. The problem is not she is having a boyfriend, problem there for her that she is trying to use MC for that boyfriend by using MC's emotions towards her.
When and where? I kinda missed that part apparently.
Actually for me not coming back the next day. Even Seducing MC would be forgivable in that case. It would be like my boyfriend force me to seduce people for money, so I need to break up with him. This one checks out. Then she went AWOL until she needed MC again, this parts bugs me more than any other part. She did not even need to say "Yeah, let's date!" all she had to do, communicate with MC and give him heads-up and tell him about her whereabouts. Btw, I am talking about nice path not dark path.
I think he did expected that. He literally said give him a kiss or something. If he was not total idiot, he sure knew where that was leading.
IIRC he told her to kiss MC on the cheek or something like that and maybe get a bit touchy with him (this is on the "nice" blackmail path where you call Brent while fingering Nicki). My impression was that he thought Nicki could flirt with the MC a bit and get the money easily. I don't think he expected things to go that far.
So we are going with he is total idiot. Nicki dressed to Seduce MC and Brent knew about MC's feelings. He also knew MC had the upper hand. He also should have noticed Nicki was not happy about the whole thing. She did not fully convinced to ask for that money. According to Nicki things were dry for a few months for them and it was therapy level dry. If he cannot put these together, yeah he may not be expecting.
Brent stole the money from her and blew it all on another loan before she got a chance to do any of this though remember? I can understand her being too ashamed to face MC after that. Even though her trying to get it all paid off herself was incredibly stupid.
I also can understand being ashamed but a simple message would be enough. "I broke up with Brent, I need some time to think. I'll let you know. etc." Or after everything happened with photoshoot stuff etc. just contact. I am pretty sure you know what I am trying to say. If you show up only when you need something, aware of my feelings and play on that feelings then disappear until the next time, I cannot trust you.
Literally when she returned after going AWOL for months.
Because she was too proud and guilty to just show up at MC's front door and ask for help. A complete hubris of her own making. That's why I joked about showing Nikki's face everytime you look up the word 'idiot.'
What she did with Brent and how she handled him was nothing short of idiotic, I do agree with that.
I am not sure what are you referring, she stumbled into MC's way then had to explain everything exchange to his help, again. What she did to make it up to MC, I do not get that one?
I am not saying she should have run to MC and hug it out everything. Just simple a message would be enough but she just disappeared. It was not her own making though. It was Brent all along, she could have simply broke up with him then nothing would have happened to her. Every second she spent with him, he buried her in shit even more but she still stick with him. I really started to believe MC's arm holding apple theory.
I mean, why woulnd't Brent suspect Nikki taking shelter in MC's house. He's deeply involved in their shenanigans after all.
She wants to repay her debts to MC. The only way she knows at the time is her body, but later on MC eventually gives her work—a chance to redeem herself—after finding out she can be pretty shrewd HR consultant.
I all ways imagine she's doing that to my balls
I'd probably accept the beating afterwards if she do that to me.
Is she tough? First of all, offering body is not a redeeming quality and secondly she did not offer that. Only think she said can I stay here? If you follow dark path, MC asks repayment for it and if you are on nice path, he just accepts it. No repay whatsoever. For job she is doing, MC created the job for her then started pay for it still MC helping and no repayment. Like you said a chance to redeem herself, giving party is still MC. All she did fuck things up, ask MC to fix it, leave without notice then fuck things up more then ask MC to fix it. Wouldn't be surprising if she invites Brent to her new place.

I cannot talk for everyone but I do not hate her. Also hate is such a strong word, I usually try to avoid it if I am not joking about it. I do not find her trustable and I think she has some sort of hidden agenda. Could I be wrong? Most likely because up until now she is the main LI and that type of twist is unlikely in an AVN. What she did up until now is using MC and I am not wrong to expect she would pull something else to hurt MC. I believe asking for anti Nicki patch, hating an AVN character etc. these stuff if not part of a joke, is simply too much.
I think people who dislike Nicki just don't get her character. Hopefully Neon can make her intentions more clear in chp 1 remake (not that I think it's his fault, but more clarity is always helpful). She's in a relationship with someone who manipulates her constantly, some women are just more vulnerable to that sort of stuff... I personally know a few women who fit into that unfortunate box... it's simply inherent in their personality. It's similar to how someone with ADHD or depression or avoidant personality disorder etc. can appear to be "lazy" to someone on the outside who's never had any experience with it, but us who actually have any of those things know it's much more complicated than that. She's pretty reluctant about the whole ordeal, but part of her is also into it because she does have feelings for the MC, she's just used to letting her fears make her decisions for her.
It does feel like that, doesn't it... it feels like a lot of dudes are kind of just projecting their own bad experiences onto the character. I guess it makes sense forming a hyper-sensitivity to that sort of thing if you were really hurt, so I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt. Still.. some of it's pretty ridiculous. I don't want to speak for Neon, but my understanding is that Nicki is just supposed to be vulnerable and complicated all in one package. I'm sure we've all already figured it out, but I think she's going to be one of the "long game" characters, you know, the kind you're slowly creeping forward with romantically; I'd argue moreso than the other girls, being the very first one and all that.
Just out of curiosity, what makes you think that I was addressing you specifically?
