Plus even others comment on how great they are together and how happy they make each other.

I was looking through my screenshots and these are just an example of how their relationship went from a strange hookup in a plane toilet (ewww) to a full-blown extremely rewarding relationship.

Let's see how this thumbnail business works.

Lexi's path is probably one of the 'easiest" for me to enjoy for what it is, a relationship between 2 adults.

Do complications exist? Absolutely, also very dramatic ones, but if I have to remember my best times... they all lead back to interactions very similar to Lexi's path.
Agreed. One of the main reasons I love Lexi path is because it feels like a real relationship between two real people, two adults, rather than the usual teenage drama you see in VNs.

This kind of relationship is also the endgame for other paths, some will just take longer and with more detours. Or won't survive the journey.

Believe it or not, but that was pure coincidence. :LOL: Was my first playthrough and I just randomly decided on Alex cause it's mostly a nice nationality-neutral name. I'm not an American, so names from my country would be weird, so I just look for something that's used in West and that has a similar name here. Anyway, can't argue with the result. ;-)

When I first got in to AVNs, I thought Jade would be a safe name. That didn't last long. Nowadays I almost always pray there's some kind of canon name.

I'm too afraid to ask what proved you wrong. xD :ROFLMAO:

I've tried stupid names for fun before, but reading Ghurkal the Mole-eater refered to some guy in a romance VN quickly gets old. xD

If I'm going to self-insert, it's Nikki all day for me. She checks just about every box I look for in a partner.

Assuming the Erynn situation went down the same, I wouldn't put myself in a situation to be hurt like that again (even if it was a misunderstanding). I wouldn't date Alexis because that's too close to Erynn. Layla is alright physically, I just don't like her naivety so I'd probably try to be friends. I'd 100% be friends with Elena because of the banter. Val I'm unsure of because I think MC got extremely lucky in being able to break her shell, and I don't know if I'd put in that much effort or be able to reproduce what he did. Cara does absolutely nothing for me. Can't imagine a scenario where I'm hooking up with my teacher so Gabi is out. Iris wouldn't happen cause there's no way in hell I'm taking a pic of someone topless in public like that. I wouldn't be into Tori, she's too bitchy. I don't know enough about Mira yet to make a call.
Man if I would self insert this would be a very hard one for me to pick. If Erynn didn't have the Ethan problems id probably pick her as i really like her playful nature and alot of things about her however I don't have enough backbone in me to deal with Ethan.

Lexi I would like but I feel like she is a much stronger independent person than me when she needs to be and I would hold her back. As I think should would want to do things or have fun in ways im not comfortable with. Then there is Nikki while she and Lexi would have the same problems for me the difference is I think Nikki would actually be good for me and be able to get me try new things at my pace and be very understanding without pushing me to much. While I think Lexi would probably be just as understanding but I think she might get me to do to much to quickly.

Cara I like how sweet and kind she is , she feels like she be perfect for a first girlfriend or a high school relationship. She seems perfect on paper for me but the problem is I think we share to much of the same problems both are really shy and introverted , and that can cause some issues when some serious problems arise unless one of us gets over it.

Layla and Elena both just feel like good friends to have but I just can't see myself getting involved with either of them in a serious relationship beyond fuck buddies. Elena I can see a relationship with her being just as good with her as with Nikki but I think I would be to intimated to make a move on her. As I wouldn't want to ruin a friendship between her or Layla.

Valeria just to much of an athlete for me to keep up but I would love to be in a relationship with her and would be my pick if I could get her to let down her walls. While I see Nikki being someone that is good for me I see Valeria being a little of the same but someone I rather spend time with if I have to pick. Not just cause she is hot but she is just someone that feels like she is equally fun and playful and know how to have a good time now matter what we are doing playing video games , going for a walk or just watching tv.

But at the end of the day id probably go with Nikki unless I can get through Valeria.

Hmm interesting post.

Erynn, would probably be the romantic a bit idealized love choice for me.
Nikki, if it wasn't for the step-sibling situation, I'd probably pick her

But ultimately I'd still pick Lexi, because... I like to have fun when in a relationship, fun includes sex, but also going to gigs and in general laughing our asses off.

The others... too young (both in age and behaviour) for self insert me.

Yeah I wanted to go with Lexi but the more I thought about just not 100% sure if we would be good for the long haul because of my introverted personality. While others I can see them being good for me and maybe getting past that in certain situations more

That was a short update for how long it took to be released.
what path did you play. Didn't feel short to me. Only Layla and Elena were short. Alexis , Nikki and Cara I thought were medium in length, Valeria and Erynn super long. With playing this on and off took me 3 days to get through all my saves.

Yeah I have to admit I'm personally not one for long term relationships (marriages and so on) anymore, that probably plays a part in it.

One of the playthroughs I did, I broke up with Lexi (can't exactly remember why anymore, maybe cause of Layla? who knows) and her pain was so masterfully written and rendered that it actually hurt me too.

It wasn't the stereotypic female hystrionics you can see in movies, but genuine wounded heart that loved, but got stomped on and spat in the face and hopes and dreams crushed. It made me feel like such an ugly bastard that I hated myself for doing it.

I had to take a break for a week from the game to continue after that. Since then if I take any other path I make sure to not even do the plane scene so I don't give her hopes.

Yup this game is solos paths only for me minus the fuck boi path. Lexi is not a girl you dump/cheat on.

I still need to see the one from this update im not ready to see it yet. I need to wait till I get past thinking about this game alot I think haha. This game feels special to me where after an update most of the time it makes feel a bit emotional it's over haha. But the Layla one is the one ive never seen yet as I rarely play that path. I want to guess it is cause the only other break up I can recall involve Erynn not helping her or her walking in on her and the MC fucking haha. I don't recall those being that bad
