Yes it is happening. There are some things that need fixing, with Suzi's path being one of them. I haven't decided exactly how much I am going to "fix" yet and will make a Patreon post about it soon when I've decided.



I can't say too much without spoiling things. We will visit the MC's apartment in v0.17 as part of the main storyline, but it will be a deeper scene if you are on a particular love interest's path.

thanks and yeah figured you couldn't say much figured id ask anyways haha but your answer basically answered all I wanted to know about the spoiler question anyways haha

Weird to see Charlotte in her talk with Valentini, feeling bad that her method of raising Emma made her too sheltered and naive and innocent, yet she raised Suzi as well and she's literally polar opposite.

Suzi and Emma are complete opposites in personality, which shaped how they each responded to Charlotte’s attempts to protect them. While Suzi’s independent nature led her to rebel against the sheltering, Emma’s more trusting and dependent personality made her welcome the care and protection.

So even though they experienced the same parenting style, their different reactions shaped them into very different individuals.

I try to avoid reading f95 for a week following a release, for obvious reasons. So if I've missed any genuine questions, I'm sorry. But if you post them and tag me, I'll do my best to answer.

Looking back a couple of pages, there are a few things I can hopefully clarify:

Suzi is an alpha personality and knows her value. I don’t believe her character would tolerate dating someone she sees as creepy or beneath her. She tests men, and if they don't add anything meaningful to what she already has, she's quick to reject them - physically if needed, as we saw in the bar.

Chase is there for narrative reasons to create a love triangle. He’s intended to be Suzi’s mirror - a high-achieving, confident character who forms a "power couple" dynamic with her. This is in contrast to the MC, who seems mismatched with Suzi in nearly every way. Chase is not there to introduce any sexual kinks, and none of the love interests will be shown having sex with anyone other than the MC.

Regarding the MC telling Charlotte about the sex tape proposition - it will not be forgotten. He's currently unsure how it will affect her, so he's waiting for now. But he will tell her in v0.17, and it will be part of a big scene for them.

Ah, thank you for clarifying, I might try out the update if the issues are fixed, thanks again.

My assumption was that Suzi was older so had a much better idea of what their father was like with all the drama leading up to the divorce, which informed her negative attitude toward men who she sees are after just her mom for sex or exploitation. She doubles down with MC in particular as he started assuming the somewhat paternal role of male protector of the household. Taking her room over makes her feel pushed out of the situation even more, so naturally she's going to be hostile and unforgiving in her perception of what she thinks he's up to.
