Ok, judging by the pictures, my guess is, you did the mistake and invest very early on in Edicts that increased Order? Because you have almost no Edicts as far as I see. Never do that, you will crush your income that way.
Your biggest problem is not having any items. They make a giant difference in my experience. I always buy the +10 agility item on the first day. Secondly: You really need those side jobs as soon as possible. The waitress job especially provides a good money boost for pretty much no cost (fatigue) except time (as in, the time it takes irl for you to complete the minigame). Getting the edicts for the bar job as well as for rum and vodka (=more money) is one of the first things I do after subjugating level 1.
Secondly, you should at least get one of the specialized attacks (I recomend the agility one). They provide a considerable boost
Also, how long did you spend on level 1? I feel that rushing to level 2 will have a negative effect on the playthrough, as the order becomes unmanagable. Try to grind out a few major edicts before proceding to level 2.
Also, git gud.

Here is a very basic start, that shows all Edicts choices and progress pictures, that should help you in the early game. Now this start is not perfect, since I have found better ways to start but you should get the general idea. Also pick Starting Title: Ambitious Experimenter, it helps you kick off very quick with extra income.
wait so how are you supposed to grind charm without cautious stance
there's no other option to end your turn without doing anything, which is precisely what you need to do to level charm without leveling everything else up at the same time

About 10 days+, I think? I was max level by the end of it. Lost to the Orc once, because I didn't clear the room before fighting him and he got me through attrition. it was depressing going from -7 to -10 to 12 or so Order after a supposed victory.
Understand that this is without any New Game+. I'm in a rut of sorts. I can't strengthen by fighting(I'm capped), but I can't beat certain opponents blocking my way either.

I'm the opposite I prefer the receptionist job over the waitress since it tends to get more hectic with everything you have to keep track and stay on top of.
Is uh, that how you actually level charm? I'm not sure if that's the case. I thought it only goes up with titles (non-slut ones, since those actually reduce charm), warden level, and accessories.
Well you can Level Charm, if someone is masturbating infront of Karryn but it is Grindy as hell to just stand there and wait forever. But you can still do it via Receptions Job then, since Goblins to that there all the time. But yes, Accessories, is the easiest way to Level Up Charm.
Up to now, I grinded charm by fighting the guards outside the bedroom, but doing nothing and letting them fap. Based on a (low quality) guide I was working on, charm is increased in fights when enemies ejaculate on you.
I see, wasn't aware of that. I feel like the potential slut-levels you'd be gaining by doing that through titles would outweigh the benefits though.
It does pretty much prevent you from getting any of the Slut level requirement gifts at the end of level 1, but you don't get *that* many slut levels if you do it right, because the guards don't do anything but fap.
Well but you do increase Guard aggression that way + create wanted Guards, which can lead to massive problems down the line, unless they got nerved in 0.6

Since 0.5 yes, no matter if Fighter Build or Slut Build. They were at least in 0.5, with High GA and Wanted way overtuned in my opinion + the money got nerfed as well, so even that value was gone. And the GA you get from Edicts, you can offset with Edicts, that lower Invasion Chance. So I never have to bother with Guards. But as I said, haven't tried it in 0.6 since you don't need it anyway. So maybe now it is fine to do it again, at least in a Slut Build, since I wouldn't want to deal with it in a fighter run, with constant invasions.

I use cautious stance a lot, i sometimes will start with counter, then taunt ennemy, and next i always enable the counter and insteed of attacking i use cautious stance after the counter when ennemy gonna do big damage or trip attack.
I like it this way, i prefer playing challenging game, even when it's about h game. For me game like that are 10 times better than easy and with no challenge at all where you just chase after h scene...
But Karryn's prison got a difficulty settings anyway so you could always play it in normal or even in easy, and by what i read on the easy boost you will have no problem at all ^^
So to say, i think it's not a bad idea to put cautious stance under edict, you may then lose the first time against gobelin who make you trip, but it will force the player to think how to beat them. Here come the cautious stance in edict =)

I've ditched the cautious stance quite early on. Starting out, I used to always follow the rock-paper-scissors attack patterns and also kept using cautious stance against the charged attacks. That was back when only lvl 1 was available and it worked good enough, but the introduction of lvl 2 made me completely abandon my previous habits.
The benefits of rock-paper-scissors counters do not compensate for an abysmal stat spread they're encouraging, especially when the most dangerous enemies have a definite bias towards certain attack types. Worse, unless you're going first, the enemy can always change their attack type before you'll land a hit.
And cautious stance doesn't do enough to compensate for missing an opportunity to attack or use proper energy skills. The evasion bonus is also % based, so if you had low agility to begin with that increase is practically meaningless.
Since the cautious stance was already only truly beneficial to agility based builds, giving it a cost but increasing the benefits and making it an early-game and lower investment skill than defensive stance might turn it onto something actually worth considering in a regular run.
