Nikki was supposed to die but got rewritten. Lexi was never suupposed to have been in the VN past the first episode either...but got rewritten.

The problem is that a lot of it was just jokes with users in the Discord, which these users understood, but were then spread completely without context on Reddit or here, e.g. the statement that Nikki should die. All these stories have taken on a life of their own. You can see it here in the thread. 80% of the facts being spread here about Nyx's plans are hokum. Originated from rumors and misrepresented statements. Plus the constant belief that Nyx “does everything to create drama” and “she loves to mess with the players”.
There is drama in the game that is the main plot (Erynn/Alexis, Erynn blackmail situation, Layla/Lucas, MC/Andres, etc. pp.) but you can play the game completely without drama between the girls. The only exception is Layla/Elena, but this is due to the special relationship between these two. It's always up to the players to decide whether to go girl hunting and make their decisions based on RP or just NOT let MC flirt. It is easily possible to have Erynn, Alexis, Layla,... just send all the girls to the friend zone without having to play MC like an asshole. In the case of Valeria, it's even the easiest, since you have to constantly make the “right” choices if you want to play her path. Hard to do without a walkthrough.
Also the statement “Nyx messes with players”. There are constant hints and information in the game for all relevant storylines. Sometimes these are just a simple reaction of a character to a statement. Now, if you only play the game superficially and keep clicking accordingly, the “revelations” come as quite a surprise to some players. This then leads to statements that this was then “constructed to create drama”. Which again ignores the fact that all the clues and information were already integrated into the game a few updates ago. Many players also only play one or two paths, which denies them a lot of content that can also provide information. Also, some players only play from update to update and have obviously forgotten or confused many things in the plot. You can easily recognize such players by the fact that they can't get the names of the characters right. This proves how little they have studied the game. Be that as it may. Not a single “reveal” in the game was an unexpected surprise. You sometimes wondered how you could have missed the clues, though. But still, many players act as if Nyx is basing the story on the theories and suspicions that players are expressing somewhere on the internet, only to change the story completely. Sorry, but that's just nonsense if you look at the entire development history of the game and the game itself.

LSC82 Has also mentioned that once Ethan checks out John's client background story being fake, Ethan and the goons might beat up John (with Iris as collateral damage), or I think, possibly, Iris finds John beaten up and tries to avenge John.
I have a hard time imagining this game without Lexi now.

Exactly, when i first heard about someone dying in the game this lady died on the subsequent update, pretty sure she was the one dev was talking about.

It wouldn't surprise me if when we come back from the trip the garage has been attacked.
They were already googling him in their last scene...
John could have different types of trouble in his future, either with Ethan or with the Melissa+Emily duo.
On the other topic Nyx has a "shoot from the hip" style of development, she suddenly brings in a new character and now has to include a bunch of scenes to make this character part of the story, and she goes from there... this happened>leads to that... There's perhaps a (fairly flexible) outline of where each of these characters are heading.
It's such a out of nowhere "NEW PLAN" style that it didn't even occur to her that bringing in the ex-gf she would be running into MINOR problems.
That's how we end up with all these characters, tripping over one another(some still waiting for the necessary event to initiate the romance), in different locations/groups, all needing their time in the sun...

I'm not really sure why this has the male domination tag to be honest. If you're looking for that, it's not here. Well I don't think so anyway.

I think the male domination tag died with the same storyline change that killed the corruption tag too.

To get all the scenes/points with Val do you have to be on the Layla path at first? I vaguely remember the last time I played it was biker bro who came to help instead of val and didn't remember seeing the scene with Val talking to her mom about "he already has a girlfriend i think".

Nah if anything being with Layla will block the Val path, especially on the field trip. You have a few more interactions if you are dating Lexi when you talk to Val, you will also be at the same beach with Erynn, Lexi and Iris when Val turns up with Darryl, Tori etc. You can kiss Val a few times but ultimately she will want you to break up with Lexi before things go any further.
I generally prefer to play a loyal MC so have mostly dedicated saves for each girl, but I have tested out the manwhore paths.
Also if your points are high enough with Val she will come to your rescue instead of John (biker bro)

Guess I missed some points somewhere last time I played. I'll have to use URM and UCD to tell which variables go with what choice. just to be sure.
