To me if i really see it from MC perspective the Alexis path is written more engaging. Of course she lies not to know MC but my personal approach is also that this is no big deal. And i didnt recognized her as manipulative anyway. The story of Erynn Fans about that Erynn claims MC for herself for so long and was desperatley waiting for him... and using this to mob and blackmail Alexis i cant really get out of the game.I'll be honest all i got from Alexis was, she could be a singer and loves the MC.
After we learn of what she did, it's hashed out in one conversation were we can't pose any arguments, after that it's either GTFO or fully committed relationship(should've slowed things down here imo), there are still problems on the Erynn side but as far as the MC is concerned problems are over and you are commited(or cheating, which is also getting written out).
From a more personal perspective, she was introduced as a fuck buddy and i found this deal "acceptable", next thing you know she's way ahead of me completely in love and also she's being manipulative and lying to me and her best friend, and we don't get an opportunity to call her out on it, again, it's either GTFO or i forgive everything let's be together...
Nikki/Cara, i like her introduction, it's rather fast from our eyes(there is some implied passage of time) but there's enough time to see which "flavor" you're gonna go for... she's in a tough spot because of constant dissapearing for 3 episodes and then popping back up(which unless she moves to her father's house this problem is gonna keep happening), the failed wedding trip could've been an opportunity to expand the relationship but it got wrecked with Andres problems...
Now she stepped back in apparently to fight for her love (somehow she doesn't even care if you are seeing someone, on one hand "what a trooper!!!" on another "really?" All is fair in love and war i guess).
But that was poorly thought out honestly, if she really wanted to throw her hat in the ring she should've moved in with her dad( she should know her dad lives here, right?) and then call us to announce she lives here now and she wants to meet/a relationship, the sudden appearances just feel like adding some sex to what, depending on your choices, might've slowed to a crawl.
Layla is the constant progressing "cutesy" romance, she is rather shallow(in terms of depth, not calling her a bimbo) and seems to mostly revolve around loving this guy like her sister and her drama relies on others, the main one with her sister is over now (rather unceremouniously), i don't know what's planned on this front, Valeria/Gabi/Elena(i would like some Adriana troubles but i can't see it happening lol) could all come in conflict, maybe Cara too(again requires that she moves in).
in the romantic scenes where we learn that Alexis cared for MC as a child and MC was also her first kiss ...this was really very engaging.
