In most school setting games MC's best friend,sidekick(male) is creep,boring,douche,etc. and if best friend is a girl,she is in love with him,jealous and less fuckable of all LIs...It's hard to be MC,lol.

And its really annoying. The few times a male friend is a normal, decent guy, he's often gay. Just so he isn't a "threat" to the MC.
I'd love for these games to show more of all kinds of friendships. The female best friend doesn't have to be secretly in love with him, hell make her super hot and like girls only (and be prepared for a few uhm, comments). Let potential LIs still be friends with the MC if he's chasing someone else, and don't let them fade into the background.
Ok, I think I've vented enough for now

oh boy, do I cringe hard at so many of them. But there are exceptions for both versions.

Val may still be possible despite taking a -4 hit (Layla also takes -4 and Elena -10 but relationship chances with them are over anyways).
No effect on Alexis or other girls.

You're wrong about that.
If MC goes meet Alexis on Sunday right after training camp, she gets mad at him and wants him to fix it with Layla, she leaves MC alone and goes home. - 4 Alexis Points, you lose the whole "Alexis Monroe, do you want to be my girlfriend?" thing and Iris watching Alexis and MC having sex later. Not too critical, but still.
If MC goes meet Alexis on Monday the next day after school, she says she forgives him as Layla did the same and just wants to forget about that. - 4 Alexis Points, and that's about it. You get all the content later.
I remebmer that like it was yesterday.

As I play each route focusing on only one girl, I missed a lot of the dramas you all are mentioning, and I already thought the game was too dramatic just from the MC's actions. Maybe I'll even play as a jerk MC just to see all this drama.

 

[ImSenjou]

sure except F95 "occasionally" forgets to notify user about new thread updates and then needs to check watched to see if missed any.

A bit off-topic, but I need to know, do you guys also have problems with alerts, like only sometimes being notified of reactions and quotes?

I opened a ticket about this months ago, but still no response, now I basically only know if I received reactions when I see the number of reactions received, and I see it at https://f95zone.to/account/reactions, but quotes are worse, I usually have to revisit the thread to check if I received quotes.

I receive alerts about reactions and quotes, but only part of them, like a fifth of them I would say, in my ticket I added more information and images, I won't post them here so as not to stray too far from the topic, I just want to know if others also have this problem.

Yesterday I played Layla's path again, and I noticed a lot of renders/dialogues/variables that weren't there in my previous save, Nyx always makes changes to the game's "past", always, this is a criticism I've made before.

After noticing these changes I considered redoing all my saves, I recommend you do the same.

These are not serious changes, but there are changes.

saves were borked a couple updates back so it's reasonable to assume there were changes in variables as well

I didn't know that. That's why my saves sometimes don't work and show errors.

clicking watched helps on quotes and with a bit luck if you got quoted it's on current page.

Man, the relationship with Val really leaves a bad taste.

Yesterday I was trying a solo path for Iris, which unfortunately doesn't exist, I got to the end of the update single, but with Val still interested, even though I hadn't done anything with her, and since the save was basically useless, I decided to use it for Val, but it was really bad.

Before kissing Val, she was really interested in the MC, always looking at him and flirting with him, but that ended after they finally kissed, everything for her is a maybe, she tries to put a barrier between them, makes it clear that it's not something serious, and the worst part is how the MC acts, my MC went from someone who wasn't interested in Val to someone obsessed with her, and he picks her up every time they're together, even though she says she doesn't like it, and she comments on it.

And the fact that she doesn't like being picked up isn't used well in my opinion, because she gets picked up all the time, and not just by the MC, and that gives MORE points with her.

What made me try this save with Val, even though I had given up on her before, was seeing how she looked at him, and flirted with him, even though my MC didn't show any interest in her, as I mentioned before, trying a solo path with Iris I reached the end of the update single, and with that I was able to observe how all the girls acted with the MC when he was single.

It's not really a problem with Val, but how Nyx used her and this change between before and after they kissed.

I'll say it again...once more for the blind people...

She is an enigma...

Solo Iris indeed doesn't seem to exist, to get her non-flashback scenes you need to go the beach, which happens only with Alexis or ASP.
The beach also allow you to build points with her, the points you get there makes her invite you for a future bike ride(when you are calling to find John for the Erynn case)... but on a non-Alexis run she just passes the phone to her dad with minimum fuzz.
Maybe Nyx should look into it, give an alternate way to get this bike ride together at least...

Val has been mysterious since the start, i'm waiting to see if Nyx will give her a backstory... maybe she's just constantly moving and doesn't like to get attached to anyone...
Maybe an ex-boyfriend gave her some lingering commitment issues...
Maybe she sees her mom's flings and wants to be different...
Who knows right now?
And then there's the fact that she seems to have plenty of other dudes trying their luck.

I do find it interesting that she kinda planted her feet and demanded that you break up with Alexis when you have both routes active... it would be weird if after this demand she keeps playing hard to get... i hope we can bring that up next time we see her.

On the other topic, at times i do feel a disconnection between the MCs reactions and what i'm thinking, he can start acting obssessive and attached very easily, this is specially jarring when you are doing your "playboy save".

No, shut up, you don't love any of them, you just want to fuck them all!!!!

I hope Nyx actually kills her character off, would be funny to see people rage about it
