I don't think there's a reason frankly, I played the game and it's generally a good game, so any reason to cancel a character can't be supported

At the very least you should spoiler links to other VNs since it is against site rules to link at all. Jus' Sayin'... Friendly advice.

I thought it was only against site rules to link to outside sources and it was ok to link inside the site itself?

There are multiple characters in this game that don't get screen time unless you are pursuing them

Are there? I don't play anyone's friend route, so maybe someone can chime in. The last chapter was basically Mason's first major content, so it had to happen. Before this point, you basically encounter him, what, twice? On the street? In very, very short scenes. I don't think any of this game's characters just totally lose screen time or anything just because you friend zone them, they just lose the sexual/relationship stuff. They still play a part in most of the major general plot beats, just in more subdued ways. For example, the scene with Gabby in the bookstore after she discovers you didn't inform her of her father's situation; it's present in all routes, just played differently. And afaik, that's basically the way this game will play out in all routes; each chapter will focus on certain characters, and these certain characters may have various dramas playing out that the MC will be involved in. Last chapter was Mason's and Pepper's turn, and obviously a little Gabby drama played out too to setup the upcoming daddy jail bail content :p So, expect more Mason peppered whenever the story's focus shifts again.

Btw, I get your overall point ofc, I'm not trying to push against that, everyone has their preferences and yadda yadda don't wanna beat a dead horse. But this specific point I'm not sure is correct, just thought I'd clear it up.

EDIT: accidentally quoted joshy... hm, my bad lol

I could be mistaken but I recall there being very little interaction with Pepper and Viola unless you select specific paths. There could be others as well but those are the two that jump to mind when I was thinking about characters who can be easily avoided. It's possible they'll be getting more content similar to other characters but I sort of viewed the game as having a few primary characters that got a lot of attention (Ashe, Gabby, Nikki, etc) and some minor characters.

Given this, I don't feel it's wrong to state my opinion that I prefer to not spend time with Mason.

No, it isn't. You have all the right not to like a character and wish they weren't there in the game in the first place or having the option not to see them again. What i say is that given the way this games are made, optionally cut out characters is quite the extravaganza for the developer. Take into consideration that the way biggest chunk of developement time is the sheer time in which the dev PC(s) is there rendering the images after the dev 'put in pose' the models. If everytime a cut character is in a scene another scene without the character has to be written, you double the rendering time for that scene. If the scene contains two or three or more characters that can be cut, the situation gets exponential.

So, my point is, it would be absolutely lecit to be pissed off if a game forces MC in a love story with certain characters. And it happens. And i honesly have hated it in some title. Expecially when it becomes the 'princess' effect. But wanting a character out of the game because you don't like it for any reason is unreasonable, because it's not just a matter of scripting the character out of the scenes. It's a very large amount of work, larger then the work you need to plain release an update.

So, you don't like Mason, fast click through the interations. I, for instance, don't like Ashe (nothing against her, just not my type and i kinda find her obnoxious) so i'll probably fast click through most of the next update. Unfortunately this is how VNs are.

I don't like her either, so, I'll probably skip next release as I'm on her friend path.
