As long as it damages the MC, too, I don't mind, and yeah, that would be the perfect platform for such consequences to happen.

Honestly, if on Val's path, not scared one bit she'd commit.Nathan is the most likeable he should be there to beat the shit out of Zack but not sure if I want val to meet him
Someone like Nikki, on the other hand, not sure... (for example, given the last update scene at the beach)

I trust Nikki, not sure how much you can trust a girl that openly talks to her mom about making out with a guy on second thought that might be a good thing

Then i take it back!!
Val is NO Longer my favorite character!!
jk
AFAIK, the "self-insert" thing was an assumption that people made because of Nyx's avatar name and profile pic on these boards (before it got deleted). I don't think Nyx has ever confirmed or denied that it was a self insert, but I'm not sure about it. Nyx has a history of bullshitting people and letting them run with their assumptions. I don't even think that she (or he) has ever even confirmed his or her gender but people just got used to saying "she" because of the profile pic and feminine sounding "NyxValeria" as the profile name.
Immediately after the NyxValeria account was deleted after some drama, the distinctly less feminine sounding "Crios" account was created that only posts on this board, writes in a similar manner as the NyxValeria user, and has oddly specific insider info. So every assumes it is just Nyx's lurker account whatever they say. Point is, you have to be careful when running with forum lore about Nyx. It's generally better to assume most of it is bullshit unless proven otherwise.
I'm pretty sure that she confirmed several times on her discord that the character of Valeria was created after her.
As for her gender, I think it's rude to discuss that topic at all, it's completely irrelevant - what matters is the quality of the novel itself. But when that topic has already been raised, the way the novel is written and its characters are enough for me not to doubt the gender of the author.

This character is a bit temperamental and easy to angersorry a little off topic. just stuff from another game I don't know why I thought it appropriate to post here

Nyx repeatedly made the fact that she is a woman known when she hung around here, she was interviewed in a official capacity and aswered as a woman.
If someone new to the thread would refer to the dev as a "he" she would correct them.
Also no other Dev cares so much about changing hairstyles of it's characters, woman status 100% confirmed lol.
I don't use discord so i can't help you there and she essentially left(officially) right after Valeria's first appearance, so not much official info here.
She did change her avatar to Val upon the characters introduction... and the name.
Val (the character) is kinda dull to me(i'm hearing the angry boos from the fanbase already), thus far.
She's "cool chick" often wearing a beanie and quirky shirts and just integrates super easily, not enough for me to get invested.
Depending on your actions Erynn submitting might've already happened.
And there's still hope for fireworks when you play both Erynn and Alexis routes.
That's the kind of drama i liked best, it's been a bit forgotten lately.
The Alexis vs Layla closed already and without much fanfare.
Erynn vs Alexis is still a possibility.
Anyone vs Nikki/Cara.
Iris can throw a monkey wrench into things.

That is true. A very valid point. That and I do agree that all the male characters - even the more protagonist-aligned ones - are written in a way that they have all dicked over a female character at some point. So I'm sensing a certain undertone of low expectations. I think the only male character that isn't either absentee, unfaithful, abusive, or who hasn't left a woman while she was preggers is probably Coach Mike. But then again, he did get divorced for a reason.

The coach's daughters didn't even know where he worked, they also didn't contact their father about going to the city he lives in... score another "fantastic" family relationship for the dads of Intertwined lol.
There's a path he brags about getting Erynn... was that a lie? Who knows...
In that path he doesn't beat the MC up or shows the sex tape, he's just enjoying himself and decides to rub it in... didn't feel like a lie to me, but maybe he is just that much of an evil bastard.
Maybe Nyx should include a scene where you witness from afar Erynn and Ethan hanging out as "proof".
The other thing about him is wether he fucked Alexis, i'm leaning towards this one being a lie because he had the perfect opportunity to rub this in when his goons were holding the MC but he said nothing of the sort.
Wasted opportunity, i think this one would really test the relationship... but it would also cause anger in the streets lol.

Intertwined Mirror Scenes, Repetition and Variation Techniques
Like elements of poetry, music and film, in this AVN, it appears that Nyx likes to repeat scenes, actions, locations and characters with obvious or subtle variations. These variations can be redundant at their worst, but at their best, allows the player to make narrative connections, compare and contrast, and emphasize character and relationship development.
For example, for the Layla and/or Elena paths, there are two important beach scenes.
The first beach scene is key in advancing the MC's relationship with Layla and hints at Elena's interest in him.
The second beach scene, Layla is not present, but casts a shadow over the MC and Elena in their conversation. This scene can advance the MC's relationship with Elena further. We also learn more about Elena as a person, about her family, and the economic gap between Layla's life and Elena's life.
The actions that repeat in variations from both scenes are:
1A) The MC tossing around Layla and Elena in the water.
This action can advance the MC's relationship with Layla and Elena.
1B) The MC tossing around Elena's brothers in the water.
This action can advance the MC's relationship further with Elena. Elena watches the MC play with her brothers with amusement, but it also shows Elena the responsible and unselfish side of the MC. Elena's attraction for him grows even further.
This also repeats with action and visual variations, Elena - with similar emotions - watching the MC play with her brothers for the first time, in their backyard.
2A.1) The double kiss of Layla and Elena on the MC before parting ways. Layla kisses the MC goodbye
but is suprised when Elena does the same.
2A.2) This double kiss is repeated at the track meet before the MC's race, with a more emboldened Elena showing more obvious affection for the MC.
2A.3) During the truth or dare game, the double kiss is developed further with Elena asks Layla's permission and the MC to
participate in the three-way kiss dare. During the three-way kiss you can choose to focus on either lady or not.
2B) Elena's solo double kiss on the MC before parting ways. After the second kiss, she says, "That's one's for me." Was the first kiss for Layla or for the MC taking care of Elena's brothers? There's no Layla for the first kiss this time. Elena has the MC all to her lips.
Other scenes that reference the first Layla-Elena beach scene are more examples of the game's visual, narrative and character patterns.

Re-use of assets for different scenes, to me, is just smart production, and like you said, it isn't redundant at all, before your post, I honestly didn't notice any of those assets, because I was focused on the scenes overall, on those girls, on the interactions.
That said I really will have to try Gabi path, just to see the Layla interruption...
