I mean it's a porngame, so stuff is a lot more fasttracked, but calling it stockholm syndrome, when we have multiple story parts where we are helping lin with her issues, going on dates and getting kidnapped, seems a bit over the top. Ashley had an unhealthy obsession, looking for love from anyone, until she found someone that didnt just bully or abuse her. Android literally had an identity crisis and a whole fucking "do robots dream of electric sheep" arc. Felicity and Emma are just being developed with the whole investigation thing and their sketchy father.What romance? The MC is an omnisexual gigolo that pretty much fucks whatever offers its hole. Lin has harcore stockholm syndrome, Ashley has unhealthy obsession that really shouldn't be encouraged but it works out because writing, Android is a sentient onahole, Feli + Emma are strongarmed to go along with the harem since they don't have many other options and Autumn is literally tricked into becoming a slut. Only Kali and Maria have anything that even resembles a healthy romance, though Maria is slutting it up hard so that may not be that healthy either.
Like I enjoy the game (sans the dumb story in the latter half), but lets not pretend that anything would play out differently if the manager was hypnotizing half the cast into fucking him.
I mean being reductionist is funny and all, but there's a lot of character development you're just glossing over.
