She can be w/e the dev wants to make her, though? A number of people in this sub immediately and totally disregarded her character & plot as soon as they found out she was an addict that brought MC's story into a drug den. My opinion: most of them are projecting their own imagination really, really hard and it isn't necessarily relevant, like at all, to Risa's or MC's story. So far, anyways. I can't foresee Neon's plans or anything. But I don't think he'd purposefully write a (now) main LI with a planned romance route as someone that people will hate. And if she does have a dramatic moment that leaves the player frustrated, it will be resolved. Just like how Gabby broke it off with MC but is about to return to his orbit after her update comes back around. It's just a little story drama that makes perfect sense for the characters; makes each of them feel very unique and honestly gives the various routes, from romance to dark, a lot more depth than other games.
Anyways, that's the only point I'm trying to make; not trying to push your opinion, but people should at least give her character & story a good, solid chance before deciding. This is only the 2nd update that involves her, after all..
Also, no worries, I was responding to someone else about the game doomsaying. I'm starting to run out of fly swatters for them

Think I will just have to accept their lame opinions and move on.
