As perhaps the actual best girl just ahead of Erynn....you're forgiven, completely understandable

I kind of get a feeling the next 2-3 updates is going to be break up season, if we made it this far without any break ups if not playing solo paths.

Nyx will lay out booby traps everywhere and force us to go even further outside the circles of each group of girls. Even the Riverside ladies will not be safe eventually. If you're on a solo path, you'll be drowned in drama.
The Layla Lexi break up was the most surprising for me. We should refrain from posting that "You are a piece of shit mc render" so that other gamers can experience that.

I've still yet to experience that one my self didn't even know it was a thing till I saw the screenshot awhile back, same with Lexi one if you dont help Erynn, tho that one I just found about last month
Still makes 0 sense, but let's see how it plays out lol.
The problem with this one in particular is that it feels like a self setup booby trap, if things reach their logical conclusion, the Alexis-Layla situation felt like the logical and inevitable result of your actions, but in this instance the MC is creating his own problems, that's a bit forced.
For Nikki/Cara we can promise them that we will break up with the girl we are dating, but we don't get the option of actually doing it, that kinda sucks.
Seems like it, and finally to be honest... the story has been promising that these girls are gonna catch you in the act but thus far scenes where you get caught have been the exception rather than the norm, it's fairly easy to keep them apart.
This is the logical action, and it would absolutely solve the problem, but it's not "fancy" enough for a game where the hero must save the Damsel...
I do hope it gets resolved quickly, because while it isn't solved Nyx won't allow us to take the "next step" with Erynn... It stalls the whole thing.
And because we can't take the next step, we can't get into girl vs girl shenaningans either.
The fact that Nyx has to service many fanbases works a against a plot like that too, because there's no urgency, despite the fact that the girl is in danger... since we first met her it was clear that Erynn had something weird going on, but only now we are taking steps to solve it.

More than a bit i would say...also let's the MC look like an utter moron if there will be drama because of that.
As i said in my post, if the game offers you better choices and you fuck up, i'm fine with it...
But in this situation he programs 2 dates for the same time one after another... and we have no choice to call Erynn and say "something came up" or tell Val "oh no my mom wants me go grocery shopping friday morning, can't we do it at another time?".
It's dumb even for him...

yeah seems the choice is literally dont play one of their paths which is a non choice and it's going to be a forced breakup probably like the Erynn , Alexis but worst since you have no choice in the matter.
That's harsh specially because we don't have anything steady with either girl... Val is just flirting and a bit of kissing, Erynn more than that but there's no commitment either.
The Alexis-Layla offers the "this is your opportunity to pull the plug with one of them".
Same thing for the Erynn-Alexis, it gives you an option of avoiding conflict and keeping them both "alive".

true that even tho it's still a non official commitment after the update I kind of see Erynn and MC kind of in a unofficial commitment of sorts now at least if you are on her path without Lexi. Just because of the way they were acting and interacting with one another kind of feels more like one to me now. While even in episode 11 I wanted to scream at them to have that conversation cause things still didn't really clear between them. However now things feel more clear to me even if it's in an unofficial capacity depending on your path.

I'm honestly fed up with rescuing damsels in distress, i'd prefer if they lace up their boots and kick some balls in.
Yeah, i do not believe in any quick resolve, and the latest update report doesn't sound like the drama is nearing an ending anytime soon.
I mean, it's been over 3 years, it's been nice that we actually begin to start working on a solution...
That being said, i'm not impressed with what they did this ep. Neither with attacking Ethan and stealing his phone (as satisfactory as it is beating him up) it's just assault (again) and theft.
The plan of playing 007 for the poor was so bad, that even a moron like Ethan is figuring it out already...and Ethan sure didn't look good as the villain either this time arround, rather more pathtetic than ever (yes i'm sure it's because tattoos
).To be honest, that whole blackmail drama begins to remind me more and more of the moronic student loan debt DPC uses.
Every time that crap comes up you can see the iq of the characters decreasing below room temperature...it's necessary, because if they would use their head for once, or even just common sense, the drama would have been over in the first week years ago...
I hope Nyx will solve this drama soon, before it goes full retard just to keep it artificial alive, like DPC does.

I'm probably in the miniority here I don't have an issue with the Erynn , Ethan blackmail drama storyline. At least on the surface I don't. While yes they made bad decisions, it comes across something that can be passed as realistic to me. As well it's one of the things that causes Erynn to have some trauma issues which in turn does make me like her a bit and feel bad for her.
What I dont like about it is the pacing of it. Because it does feel like it's forgotten about at times / with little to no progress until now. I mean even if Nyx didnt want them to involve the parents and keep them making bad decisions that fine they are young and it can make for more of an entertaining storyline.
But when Alexis finds out about it which only happens if you are on her path as far a I can recall. Since she is already involved at that point which was awhile back I want to say 3-4 updates probably ago just a guess. Why couldn't they have also made some initial plans as a team and start to slowly follow through with them slowly in updates that came after. Instead the only planning that was done was with John and then it's quietly feels like it was forgotten about and we go back to living our day to day life each update while not making any progress on it till recently.
At least that's what I remember I could of forgotten something, im slowly replaying the game right now and havent gotten to any of those parts of the game yet.

Just my hunch, not founded on anything.... both the Erynn-Ethan blackmail backstory and the Maya student debt stuff both feel like stories that were more developed but the dev realized they couldn't tell them fully without triggering some ntr folks - so we got this weird version where they seem like they're missing pieces and don't really make sense. In the grand scheme of things, I think it worked out fine as is, they found other areas to focus on in the story, and those are kinda just legacy pieces left over....I'm honestly fed up with rescuing damsels in distress, i'd prefer if they lace up their boots and kick some balls in.

It's more than flirting but it's not steady yet i would say... She can certainly feel some type of (disappointed)way if she learns that we are playing the field, but i don't think she can make demands just yet.
The words just haven't been said, neither the "L word" nor the "let's make it official".
Either way my issue is that both paths were just "flirting stage"(Valeria is still here honestly) last we spoke to either girl.
And the invites happens automatically with no "I can't" option, that's why the problems feel forced.
Heck if you bedded Layla last update there's an option to say no to Erynn, but there's no option to deny the date to Valeria or cancel on Erynn.
There's many issues, the big problem is what Raziel_8 pointed out, just go to the police, get him on tape... The MC could've filmed Ethan being rough with Erynn in this episode for example(and it wouldn't interfere with the plan).
She made the initial bad decision of going to prom with him, that's alright...
She also started scorting instead of doing something when he innitially became her agent, ok... she was scared.
The fact that she held the secret from people she trusts for years apparently(she's been modeling for 3 years), and just kept doing what Ethan wanted with the faint hope that he would eventually go away... getting dumber by the second.
At least now "something" is going on...
I "like" the trauma, it makes me sympathize with her too, but getting rid her tormenter doesn't actually solve the trauma, that's just step one...
The most important thing is getting through to her that she doesn't need to be afraid to love, to trust others and be happy.
The fact that we can't solve this is slowing the progress of the more interesting part which is getting her to open up(it's happening simultaneously but still)...
A lot like Raziel, these attempts to push "real life" issues, often feel tacked on in relationship games because we can't solve them like we would in real life... because it's not dramatic and spetacular enough for the knight in shinning armor to hire a detective and contact journalists(in case you don't wanna go straight to the police) and let them do the work...
The lack of urgency does suck, the game structure with multiple LIs isn't built for this, Nyx needs to split her time throwing a bone to every fanbase so something that puts a friend in harms way ends up taking a back seat... everybody is living their lives like there's nothing going on, Erynn is still going on her modeling gigs(often without backup), Melissa is just going about her business despite the fact that her daughter is in danger... Emily is also happy to let her son go against a crime ring and just sits on the sidelines.
I hope we can be done quickly(but i fear we won't) because this is not what interests me in this style of game, this thing is keeping us from the interesting bits(and not just sex).
And as far as police thrillers go this would rank ridiculously low (i rather watch something on Prime or Netflix).
But as we said before at least now there's something going on...

Very good points more thought out than mine that is for sure. I just always felt I was one of the few that doesn't out right hate this story line ( still dont) but still had mix feeling about it.( still do) But this post does bring out the flaws in it, especially since she isnt the only LI.
This part of your post " The most important thing is getting through to her that she doesn't need to be afraid to love, to trust others and be happy." Reminds me of the other game in my signature, which does that very well. Which is a bummer to think about cause her path would be alot better for sure if we actually tried to get through to her but instead the MC goes day to day never trying to get through to her despite knowing something is wrong even before she told us everything.
