Great game, lewd aside I really like the actual gameplay aspects. I haven't delved much into the guides and all, but I think I have some fundamental grasp of how the things work. I do have however, like 10 "failed" runs so far, but I find myself learning more and more as I progress and learning the ins and outs of the game has been a blast so far.
I just wanted to check out some things however. For reference, I've been trying out a normal difficulty custom character with the following stats:

So what would you advise as the most sensible course of action? Here's what I normally start out with:
1. Get a slave at the market that's usually beautiful, with a high intelligence but take care that I don't cash out more than 200 for her. (I start out with 1500 for reference, in the slums.)
2. Get her a full beauty treatment at the saloon, including my slaver. Get fashionable attire for slaver, a stunner and a bastard sword. For slave, I get a sundress, headband, maid outfit, slippers, lace and rubber gloves and I swap them out depending on what I need the slave for during the training. Naturally, I also brand the slave afterwards and do a health checkup.
3. I start out with explaining the situation and encouraging her, usually works to get her mood high enough to allow for tutoring. If she's disobedient, I either spank or just let her sleep on the floor for with reduced rations for like 2-3 days if her health doesn't suffer much because of it.
4. By this point, I also usually build up obedience to a high enough level to do some active sex here and there to relieve lust of my slaver and get some disposition boost from the slave herself.
5. Naturally, along the way, I strive to tutor her in elocution and secretary, have her clean around to build up habit (?) and obedience, do some gymnastics when endurance and calories allow to maintain her health. I aim as quickly as possible to build her up into a D+ assistant so I can peddle her on and rent a better apartment.
And this is basically where I'm at this point. My last run reached up to this point but my money kept going down the sink, I got a highly prideful and stubborn mature slave that I only barely managed to break by using the cells instead of beatings and such, but I feel it's bound to turn into another subpar start.
I'd be most appreciative on any advices you might have for me to improve upon my start, since I'm highly aware that I'm likely missing out on many things, albeit in part on purpose because exploration of the mechanics and possibilities is also quite entertaining for me.
