believe what you want to believe. Express yourself.In any case, you can fantasize whatever you want. Who am I to tell you how to take this story? If for you, MC is a nice, good-natured guy, then so be it.

Thanks for being respectful of how I see things sorry if I came off a bit aggressive on how I disagreed just felt like I wanted to share how I saw things. But it's what I love about AVN's we both can interpret something completely different in these games and neither one of us is wrong.In any case, you can fantasize whatever you want.

Oh bro! Compared to the people with whom I am used to communicating on a daily basis, I didn’t even notice your “aggression,” if there was any. So don't worry about it.

Dessolos is one of the coolest mofos here. Even when he thinks he's being an asshole or aggressive, he's not. He's just good people.
Pathetic? That's something every guy can identify with lol. I'd call it completely normal.
Personally, I'm not completely convinced the 1st chapter fully reflects Neon's goals for the character. Unless he changed them mid development, which is possible. 2nd chapter forward is honestly like night and day compared to chp 1. Unless that itself is intentional, I'm not sure. But the MC from what I've seen can be as normal and as nice as you want to make him, for the most part.
In the 1st chapter, I don't at all recall him being "cowardly, pathetic, and toxic". Those are far too strong words, I think, and kinda mean and unfair towards our Guy
(unless ofc we're discussing the blackmail/grape routes, obviously). I'd say he's lacking in confidence, unsure of himself and his future, and perhaps deficient in experience and perspective. Money appears to have shored up those issues for him, or at least improved them greatly anyways. Not trying to gang up on your opinion btw.

Not every guy at all. But yes, this is common. For insecure teenagers, but not for adult men.
Is this image (from the op) in the game...i dont think I came across it on any of the paths..

People need to remember that if the MC came off like that, it's because they made the choices for him to act that way.Pathetic? That's something every guy can identify with lol. I'd call it completely normal.

cant really answer but From what I heard just the prologue and maybe Chapter 1 idk from what I gathered it isnt a major rework.
Grown men can't be insecure around women? That's a rather dismissive and pretty funny thing to say in a forum that's focused on virtual porn with non-existent women.
In the latest chapter at the end of the date when Ashe is in bed, watch the orc stuff or w/e. It'll arrive on your screen along with some other great stuff
Although, maybe it only appears if your MC is on the blackmail and/or grape route?

Of course they can. But I’m not talking about just grown men, but about mature men. And not just about insecurity, but about the friend zone. And yes, there are different forms of extremes, but I'm talking about the most common things.

Only Chapter 1.
Ch1 art was commisioned and not done by Neon, you can easily tell it's quite different. Nicki's model is also different from the one in the following chapters. Ch1 was planned to be a stand-alone game, but has since evolved in a full and much bigger game.
Neon also complained a lot about having coded Ch1 wrong and many player choices weren't saved properly and that's biting him in the ass now.
He also plans of expanding the intro to show more important details and adding more paths for Nicki in Ch1 (like lending her the money without having sex with her) and different consequences in the following chapters depending on how you handled her.

I'm wondering if the remake of chapter 1 will change the MC's one sided love for Nicki. I'm thinking just showing that they're best friends and that he feels that her boyfriend doesn't treat her well is a good point to start their relationship for the story and it could also tie into him giving her the money without anything in return.

It's been talked about the dev making it to where we can get on her friend path in the rework, but not sure if that will happen. I can only hope.

Yes, Neon said the new intro will show better their friendship before MC becomes a millionaire.

I just cant wait for the rework so I can give her money with no strings attached since I wish I could of gave her the money without having sex with her as it makes her seem like a prostitute and that isnt something a real friend would do. Even if they do have a sexual desire for their friend.

willing to try this wholesome path to navigate how branching into love path is going foward. Also
if Nicki is going to Idolize Mc futher into Friends path, I loved how she feels inadequate of MC love after her mistakes, and would like to explore a submission esque Nicki without dark themes, just good misguided affection, Opening a cuckqueen scenario.
A man can dream right.
