Okay, so perhaps the problem is to do with how the game is presented on F95?
Because... It IS a fact that Melissa is highly advertised on here. It is ALSO a fact that she represents a Patreon subscriber tier, which on its own implies that she would be very important in the game. Plus, as
Malicre said, she has a pretty prominent role in the early chapters of the story which implies she would remain important.
As to how I know Melissa isn't a LI, I'll be real I guess I don't? I'm simply going by the discussion that preceded my comment which seemed to suggest that she was basically being written off as an LI? Plus, from a story perspective it would be insane if she was given that at this point the main LI's are all people Melissa is very close with?
If you are struggling and don't like it, don't play it. I don't understand.
I mean... Yes? Obviously? That's my plan?
Or do you mean that "nobody should ever say anything bad about this thing I like because I like it? If you don't like it, just shut up and go away."?
It's perfectly reasonable to try something and then explain why you dislike it. I mean, c'mon my guy?
Your example is also wrong. Shows me that you don't understand the game or skip dialogue.
Maybe I'm missing some context. Like I said, I actually played the game back in v0.5 or something and so hadn't touched it since like 2020. So I'd forgotten a lot of the story aspects.
Just based on what happens in chapter 0.6 though, it felt kind of outrageous. Like the mum was getting a pass for what felt like pretty shitty behaviour, while the "dad" was being blamed a lot for it.
Like you say, maybe I'm forgetting something important there though.
