I'm the same. I play the LI route I like the most and usually that's it.As a dev, everything you do is wrong for some people.
Like the "forced relationship", the slow burn, not being a harem game or the silly pets/zoo.
I'm telling my story.
Sorry if most people don't like it.
And sorry for the real fans for getting you into trouble which lady you go after.
Being a team with x0 members, with x00k funds, I could plan that way better. Hell, thinking about Vals role before chapter 2 would have been a good idea. She was never planned like this.
Val grew on me, story and relationship wise.
I will never break the story and add her to a harem, because that wouldn't fit with Alex and Isa.
So for the Alex haters (ok, the not Alex path players, sorry), she's there until Isa will be available as a LI.
Doesn't make it easier, as the players will have to make a decision.
That's life
I understand you, and adding here as a single LI wasn't the easiest decision.
Back when I'd played AVNs I always sticked to the route/girls I'd choosen, no matter how "interesting" another route might be.
She's there, she has her path, and even without playing that part, she'll be adding to the story.
All of those things are part of you telling your story, not pandering to the popular opinion. Of course you could have handled things in a different way, and there were a few things you did change after player feedback (such as the first sex scene with Val). I'd say you are not doing things wrong, just your way. That may not always be the financially smart option, but then it would probably be a very different story. Not the one the majority of your supporters enjoy.
That happens, as anyone who has ever written a story will probably know. It's something you can't predict. Character's demand more attention, new ideas pop up in your brain, an original idea doesn't really work, focus shifts on the plot - the trick is not getting too sidetracked by all the possible changes you could make. Write some of them down for possible future use, and use what makes sense now.
And if you had added Val to the harem, I would honestly have been disappointed. Not because I don't like her, but because it would have made absolutely no sense for this story.
It doesn't matter what you do or how you do it, someone will whine and complain and bitch about it. Do your thing. If 99% of people are saying the same thing then it might be time to listen, but otherwise to hell with them.As a dev, everything you do is wrong for some people.

At the end of the day it's your story. All you can do is hope the way you tell it resonates with people. I don't mind harems if they can written in such a way that they contribute to the story. Alternatively, I don't like when a game pretty much tells the same story no matter which LI you pick. So hopefully, single/throuple route games are diverse enough to entertain no matter who you choose to be with.As a dev, everything you do is wrong for some people.

All the best to you too Joshy. Merry Christmas and I hope you get lots of handholding and headpats.

Isa is a slow burn, she and the MC will get closer the next update.
Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks guys
Financially I'm doing better than others. Isa was meant as a hobby and I got back my investments and was able to invest more.

I never mind a slow burn, if there is a good pay off. Definitely will play the update when it comes and perhaps try an alternate path as well.
Have an awesome Christmas BTT. Thank you for your advice this year, you are the best.
And it shows. That's what made me fall in love with your game.
