Nyx's writing would indicate Alexis is cannon, only way to get the whole story is choosing her and if you don't, she literally just disappears. She's mc's first kiss, most of the emotional beats go through her, etc...

As for objectionally superior, the only thing that Alexis is superior to rinn with is instant gratification. Sex all over the place, but beneath the surface, there is no complexity whatsoever.
I have the impression that Alexis wasn't supposed to be a LI at the beginning of development, but her storyline ended up changing at the request of the backers. However, my memory is always faulty, and I might be confusing her with someone else. Can anyone confirm this?

Yeah, I admit that one of the reasons I was drawn to Alexis was Carli...

The fact that Alexis was originally just going to be a "Mile High Hookup" but then turned into more is awesome. I love the interaction between the MC and Alexis, the banter is some of Nyx's best writing.

I like Erynn and I like Alexis. Yes I know that you can't have them both, but I have saves for each and I enjoy them both. Not everything has to be a competition.
There are some parts of Alexis's path that I miss when I'm not playing her path such as the Adrianna wig scene which is embarrassingly hilarious. And the beach double date with Alexis, Iris and Erynn has some great moments which you miss otherwise.

You're unaware Alexis was never intended to be anything more than a quick mile-high bit of fun. She was never supposed to be in the VN past the first chapter :WeSmart:

You'll be even more shocked to know that Nikki was never meant to continue in the VN and be a long term LI either.....

The alexis secret path gets you the beach scene as well. which is fun if you are pursuing valeria as well.

I despise Alexis, and that's a good thing... it makes it easy for me to cheat and flirt with other women on her saves lol.
Despite the fact that i don't like her... i think her presence enhances the game, playing bad boyfriend to her is very entertaining :ROFLMAO:

She might not have been initially canon, but everything from her involvement in his childhood to her storyline connections to her current storyline indicates she's canon now. Though that explains why her story is bang or stranger.

As for Nikki/Cara, yea I see that one. They are so away from the main story that they feel forced

Alexis Model was what drew me into this game, So I'm happy that there is so much content with her.

which is exact reason that I have a hard time sticking to one path anytime I want to replay this game i'm like I love Erynn but damn I miss X scenes with Alexis. Which is why i'll probably either choose to replay both paths on separate saves most of the time I do replay the game haha . Would do 1 but it seems the game has got to the point after the photoshoot where you cant get every scene now if on both paths at least for Erynn

Absolutely sweet, carefree/drama free, sugar coated playthroughs and endings are the worst you get get and expect from such a game and from the whole genre, imo.
This is one of the worst takes in my VN "lifetime" I've read so far. Such AVNs and/or "LI paths" are awesome if only for a change of pace after loads over loads of over-the-top, overdramatic drama in whatever form. AVNs are ultimately just another (more lews) form of escapism. Thus, you not liking drama-free AVNs/stories, while obviously a totally fine opinion, doesn't make it the "worst you can get". You are simply not the target or indirect target audience for it.

I did find a playthrough that made me laugh. Ignoring Alexis and Erynn getting pissed after seeing nothing on MC's phone and her kicking him out for no reason, because the story needs him to get kicked out so he can have that heart to heart with his mom o_O

In this part, isn't it because Ethan called her out of the blue and was going to stop by her place?
