What does throw me a bit is that the player kind of can lock yourself out of content "inadvertently" if you focus on say just Charlotte. Keeping your options open seems to be the best move as Charlotte is too damaged to put out and the MC shouldn't suffer for it or get blue-balled, despite being a standup guy. That said, the reason it is a little jarring for me is, simply because the game almost has a harem element to it. In the latest update, the MC can choose to pursue a relationship with Kaylah even though he was wooing Charlotte, this choice kinda does come out of left field for me, but also kinda is stupid if the H-content becomes exclusively locked to Charlotte which is simply not there and I highly doubt there will be anything remotely kinky to any sex with Charlotte due to her baggage e.g. massage? This is also not the first time the player gets prompted if they want to pursue relationship with Kaylah.
Personally I would have liked to see the MC get more action and develop more relationships or options with H-scenes for various characters, without strings, at least until he decides to settle, holding out for Charlotte is all about the romance, love, all that BS and not much else. While the story is brilliantly told and the SSSLLLOOOWWW burn is slow, its good, but it is coming to a point where I kinda say, get on with it and start getting traction with more relationships.
I also think the issue or an issue is that Charlotte is always in the MCs radius and thats due to his role, hers and the overall plot. However, the player always gets drawn to Charlotte almost like they should hold out for her, which is understandable, but its frustrating that the story doesn't unfold that great and focus on other LIs also, its ONLY Charlotte that needs protecting 99% of the time, which causes that there is a lot more content where the MC is just around her and not the other LIs...I understand tying this story up is hard to do perfectly, its just apparent for me and tad frustrating. Still brilliant VN, visually, intellectually, emotionally, sexy even if its not overly kinky (which it could be, but not with Charlotte, she is too up tight)
Something that could be useful is if there was a kind of walkthrough in the game, that prompts the player for character exclusive choices, so you know which choices to make to get the best experience with a particular LI. Kind of like the walkthrough for intertwined, hell of a complex thing and hats off to devs for keeping your head straight with that design. Anyway, just a thought!
