I too fall into the Lucy camp but to be fair it is kind of like picking the valedictorian at summer school. The Lloyd family is maladjusted and Lucy is kind of like the glue that keeps all the broken pieces together. I do think that we will eventually see her bad side. Everybody has one. I think that on the path where MC picks Charlotte instead of her, she might break. Even though she is used to it at this point, it's going to hurt her since it keeps happening over and over. She was very open, honest, and brave in telling the MC that she had feelings for him. Didn't even hide it from the other girls. It is as if she is the only one who isn't ashamed of her own feelings. I did think she was a little annoying about it in the beginning and I don't think that I really fell in love with her until she protected Charli from that guy in the bathroom and got a slap for it. I've come around to thinking that all of the other three girls have one very redeeming virtue (Suzi is brave, Emma is compassionate, Charlie is devoted) but in the Llloyd family, Lucy has all of them. She's the one they all go to whenever there is a problem and she fixes it. That can be very taxing when you have the role in a family (I know this from experience) but she bears it with grace. I think that the thing that attracts the MC to Lucy in the Lucy path is that he can tell right away that she would be a good partner. That she would be ready and willing to have a mature, committed, and stable relationship right off the bat. The other girls really don't offer that prospect. Not to say that the others won't eventually come around to being good partners, but when it comes to Lucy there is much less assembly required.

I definitely see her breaking if you reciprocate her feelings and then switch to Charlotte, but I don't see that happening if you never do. Her "feelings" are purely lust driven since she practically starts humping your leg the second she meets you. She doesn't know anything about the MC and acts as if she's in love pretty quickly. I think she imagines herself to be in the running for a relationship after your meeting at the cafe when she tells you about the previous attacks on Charlotte, and tries again when she gets slapped herself, but you really don't give her much to feel so strongly about the MC by that point. It's almost delusional.

 

[Canto Forte]

She is grasping at straws ... she cannot be a manager, hence why Charl goes to the yacht,
She cannot fend for her star, hence why she gets beaten up alongside Charl.
She cannot stop the blackmail on Suzy. She cannot stop the blackmail on Emma.
The asshole Zak bullies Emma into a date, this game is heartless and vicious.

It's almost delusional

She has found some support as a throbbing MC between her and Charl.
Be the one!
She gets to a man who is not doing what every other man is: hitting her and Charl.

 

[keefer43]

That .. that there is the incel talking .. the simp too much in his own head to think straight.
Guys have to initiate everything, especially in a deeply religious household,
because it is always the man in Judaism and Old Testament who drives the action.

You think you are too much of a snowflake for her, you better believe after running your mouth around,
a real Jerome will snatch her and turn her into a whore in no time
with the lover boy maneuver: promise her the world, bang her into a senseless sex object
and then whore her to your whole neighborhood
-that is what it means that you, the only one who appreciates her innocence,
is letting happen to her.
Talk about what Charli and MC did to Emma by sending her to the established drug rapist asshole.
Remember they let him take her in a secluded corner outta town so he could MOLEST HER AT EASE.
You may be happy you dodged that bullet, but you never did anything about her either.

I agree - the effect or feeling this engenders in the players is classic "Dramatic Irony" - we know what is going to happen but the hero foolishly does not. We sit watching (our pulse racing) as the car hurtles around the blind corner which obscures the puppy/baby deer crossing in front of the racing vehicle: despite all the warnings, which one will die here? - the cute innocent animal or the driver of the car after avoiding impact and over-correcting it hurtles toward the precipice. The poor tragic character Zac must be given the respect he deserves as he hasn't committed any crime yet towards our beloved deer in the headlights. Blah blah blah.

 

[Ulrich von Liechtenstein]

You can only be with one girl
I think you can also bang that other model but I forgot her name (I think it's Kaylah)

And yeah Emma does have a route

Edit - forgot to say before Only the Lloyd girls are main love interests any other girl the mc can bang is just a side character

Speaking of which, if the MC develops a real relationship with Emma how will Charlotte look at all of this? It seems to me there are only two possibilities:
- forbidden love with the MC living with Charlotte while having a hidden relationship with her daughter (time to change the protagonist's appearance to Jeremy Irons);
- the protagonist flees the city (or better yet, the country) with Emma to escape her mother's wrath.

Emma will just use the "I'm an adult *stomps around*" defense until mom inevitably relents.

She let her date with Zak, I don't think she will has any right to say anything.

The case with Zak is weird but understandable he's her peer and first high school crush. And here we have an old man who was hired as a security guard not a sugar daddy.

It was more like a joke but they did not even made a background check on him and when she started to sulk they gave in. I also am curios about it but they will have to let them be I suppose.

 

[jaw1986baby]

It might be some kind of language barrier, but what you describe does sound more like corruption than like love to me.

I would say that if you find such a person, you'd want to take care of her for all eternity, rather than to leave a "sexual imprint".

Alternatively, if you know that this "taking care of her for all eternity" bit is not for you, I'd say that it's better to leave the girl well enough alone for somebody more worthy than you.

Sorry if I sound harsh, but that's how I see it.

Nah man

I was referencing real life so adding the percent chance that you don't stay together forever is just realistic.

In a VN I do not think it will happen, but I was referring the real lady as well as Emma.

Also note, I never did date that real lady. So my description of how the innocent can make things seem wondrous was not about corruption or specifically about sex. Though I would imagine that sex with her (and also Emma in the VN) would be enhanced but that first time wonder. Plus then another GF I had in high school was a virgin so I sort of mixed in the rush of feeling like this girl has only ever been with you and for the rest of her days all men will compared against you, which is a separate element of a virgin that is true even when they are not the pure and innocent type. (That GF was so horny and ready to lose it [V card] she was not at all innocent).

If that helps clarify. In my attempt to keep it short (I failed I know) I blended thoughts too abruptly.





PEACE

Surprised she never figured out how to block a number.

 

[Joshy92]

I called Suzi a mean girl earlier
But I think that does her character a disservice.
She is more than just a stereotype.
I think once we get to know her, we will find out she is a really sweet girl.
Plus, she is beautiful like the rest of the Lloyd women.

Still, I love that we can have the mc call her ugly lol

I agree with you, she's sweet WHEN you get to know you. Problem is to get know here. You could be men of her life if she don't kill you... Before you get to know her...

If darkblue has the balls Suzi would end being MC's sub slave. She's the perfect attitude for a bdsm relationship. But I doubt we will see that in this VN, this has been 50 shades of vanilla so far.

That family has some nice genes.
But I agree, Suzy will be interesting to get to know better. She is fiercely loyal and protective of her family, especially Emma. Perhaps the MC will get some of that too in time. I think I may have noticed a tiny bit of an anger management issue though... Jumping to conclusions too. Acting before thinking. Could be an interesting relationship.

Once she understands that the MC is one of the good guys, she'll come around and start accepting him. They haven't really interacted that much yet after all.

That very thought just struck me as well. Or at least not mind a spanking after Hulking out on someone. I know I wouldn't mind.

Yeah, it doesn't have to be hardcore stuff with candles and whips, just some roleplaying would be great. Suzi bratty personality is perfect for it.

OK, I'm hooked. I have really disliked Suzi from the very start when she was gonna throw MC outta the bedroom like she owns the place. Lucy has to be OK with it though. I'm seldom a one girl man in these stories but, this is the exception. You're idea of adding Suzi as a sub/slave... mmmmmmm... and Lucy might like it too!

something like that
