That's true I think the fault is in the fact these games take a long time to develop so can't really show alot of that 2 months. So while alot did happen in those 2 months I always felt like I wanted to see more to feel the connection between them especially Cara. Tho it could also be just me as well. I honestly never felt anything between them other than something that was casual something like good friends or friends with benefits at the most would have.
That's a great point about Erynn. I think she’s a well-crafted character vulnerable because of what she’s been through and scared of losing her friendship with the protagonist. The relationship with her is a slow process, but it’s rewarding, even if it causes issues with others. To me, if we follow logic and "destiny," ending up in a relationship with her feels like closing a circle that’s been there since childhood.Nikki and Cara, although it happens in one long scene, there's a month or 2 that goes in that flashback... 2 months sharing a house, seeing each other everyday, helping them...
Cara in particular kissed the MC at her birthday party, before he moved in, so something was there from the start.
Nikki, things in common, working out together, saving her from getting ran over, helping with her ex... and it clicked.
Layla is fine, she's the young and innocent archetype getting the hots for a boy... and despite that fact that she's flirty right away, it took her a long time to commit, nothing wrong with that.
Agreed on Erynn, she's obviously predisposed to like the guy due previous relationship, that brings positives and negatives.
Positive that she's always gonna pay attention to him and give him time, and wants him close to her by default.
Negative that she's a little(very slow actually) slow moving because she's scared it might hurt the friendship.
That, plus her history of abuse, makes her both an easy target... and slow to commit.
The way things play out make sense.
Alexis is a bit harder for me to buy too, he stole a kiss from you 5 years ago, he looked way too young for her back then, and after that you never saw him again...
She's not some innocent virgin like Layla and Cara, so it's a much harder sell that she's immediately obsessed with the guy.
Valeria is the "realistic" hot girl, she has a bunch of dudes going after her so isn't dropping head over heels for anybody.
She knows the power that she has and plays with her cards close to her (awesome)chest and keeps her options open.
I'm more and more convinced that Alexis was added after the start of the Novel, due to her popularity, and wasn't planned from the scratch to be in the LI rooster.
I actually don't mind hurting someone's feelings if I'm upfront about it from the start
Let me confirm it later on, but I mean having played an Elena path with Layla Friendzoned from the beginning, similar as the one to get on Valerias path.
If you want a solo Elena path, you definitely have to break Layla's heart. The choice between them comes when Layla offers her virginity and MC declines which wrecks her.
my brother I tried it a million times you cant get on Elena path without being in a relationship with Layla
Because it was a flashback, we had 2 months abbreviated into 30-40 minutes, but still the girls don't meet him and jump into bed right away, it might feel that way for us because we bang them in the same scene they are introduced, but in universe there's passage of time.
Yes, at the same time that there's a reason why she gets attached easily, there's reason why she's slow to commit.
That's factual and well documented, Alexis wasn't supposed to be a long term character, she was going to be a quick fuck and disappear.
Sad, but true.
and even done there are certain things you have to do to get on a Elena path
I ran through it again a few weeks back and only remember them wrestling in the pool.
nah man, sadly impossible. I wish though, that scene was rough with Layla
Of everything I've tried, she ends up in tears. If you have a step-by-step guide, I could give it a try, but it seems impossible.
She knows the power that she has and plays with her cards close to her (awesome
