Actually, he is there to take care of his uncle, or do you really think the other would be able to keep him away from the bar, and yes, it is problematic that he couldn't go back, but she should have broke things of if unsatisfied with a long distance relationship.
Well I think he dodged a poisoned chalice by his own fault.
Those kind of planning and overly controlling girls you are better off without anyway.
I did say she should have broken it off .. I know words are hard sometimes but repeating myself in this thread is starting to get tiresome.
Well I would have had way less trouble with it if it would have felt like They and not like a classic only She.
I understand your points, and sorry, I didn't see the other replies before, or you were engaged in this discussion before, i actually just started to be active in here.
He went down there for 2 weeks, and when it passed, she ghosted him instantly. Another 2 week have passed since that, as it was told in the latest update. Unless they were the end of their semester, she couldn't have graduated and do anything grand with her life. The convo with the uncle also suggested that the MC could still go back and finish school in time.
Mc be like, " Hey Fi, can you check the schedule to see if I can squeeze in 245 seconds to drop a duce or am I gonna have to go with waiting until tonight's alloted bowel movement time? We know I can't just shit my pants because there's no clean up time penciled in "Well I think he dodged a poisoned chalice by his own fault.
. And the girl instead just saying we are done it's not working out I'm too young and ambitious to deal with this shit, she made a highly immature move and decided to ghost and ignore the mc instead of just come clean. 
I don't see the MC as at fault though, just because you don't know the family member well doesn't mean you don't help out. She should have understood that, even though he wasn't close to his uncle, this is important to him. Instead of communicating with the MC when the 2 weeks were up she chose to ghost him and then, we all assume, cheat on him/move on with her life. This wasn't a short relationship, they've known each other/been dating for years and this is how she chooses to handle it.Kinda late to the party but what's the point to argue when both parties are at fault. The mc for being an idiot leaving for a family member he doesn't even know that much for an indefinite time without any planning or real answers except maybe and I don't know but you just wait for me
That relationship was doomed from the start if it ended on such a trivial matter and isn't that the whole point of it to set up a great introduction to the tone of the game and motivation for the mc to start a new relationship as well as creating background history. Especially since the ex will turn up at some point in the game, it's too good of a drama moment to pass it up. And there's a possibility that she didn't even cheat on the mc and stayed faithful but pissed off, which again a good setup for more juicy drama.
I just hope that the writing doesn't try to justify the whole Fiona situation with the "it was one big misunderstanding" card. That would either require a very unique solution to do it, or a massive ass pull, and I also feel it's kinda too late at this point to get a reasonable explanation. What I hope for though, is that when a confrontation comes up, it will give us the option to go nuclear, unlike the MCs usual demeanor, like when he talks with thicc girl.
I'm in 100% agreement with you on that! I want to see the MC actually show passion and anger. I want him to finally stop repressing all of the emotions we know he is dealing with right now. He barely knows anyone in town and he is, to an extent, emotionally and physically alone dealing with the long term illness of a family member while trying to work full time at a bar. Yet he is so even keeled and doesn't really show how he feels about the entire situation, being abandoned by his long term girlfriend, etc.
They both behave immature and selfish regarding their relationship. A relationship is all about mutual understanding, benefit, and sharing hardships and there's not much of that on both sides. Just leaving, and then delivering a lot of ambiguous answers and excuses is not an option for some people and the girl wasn't asked about that in the first place mc decided for himself. There was no need to stay running the bar that there are a lot of people who could've run it as well as look after the uncle that he could've just visited on weekends and specific dates for the doctor appointments. He made his choice and it was not the relationship with his GF. And the girl should've been much more vocal about this whole deal instead she chose to reluctantly roll along with it and then go m.i.a. so I guess she made a choice as well.
From what I understood, the distance between the university and where the MC lives now isn't a few kilometers, but possibly states, and that's not a distance that you bypass by simply weekend visits unless you're loaded and using plane. Probably that's the reason why he simply hadn't went back for the weekends to be with Fiona.
Agreed, the MC should have met most of her significant family members at this point. The relationship has been going on for a couple years, they were serious enough that they moved into an apartment together, etc.
There are always compromises that you can make or negotiate, there was none in this story. And yeah the writing so far is much better than the typical cliche trope, but that was the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the photo that it was some kinda set up for the future.
If they are only away from each other for a two hour car ride, that doesn't reflects poorly on them, it would reflect on the writing, because the whole tension and "cassus belli" could be solved easily as hell. From what I saw so far, I simply won't believe that the writing would be that bad.
Can't really make a compromise if you're half a country away or at least have a great distance, and the country is big as continents, unless you're loaded as hell, which doesn't seem to be the case. Don't want to repeat myself about the possible implications, if it is a setup for that, it's better be good.
Why should I, I'm not the writer I'm just here along for a ride just as you. But it seemed fitting for some kind of setup from a writing perspective. Also when people are pissed off and there are strong emotions involved ignoring someone for over a month isn't that long of a stretch. But this is just one of my thoughts don't take it seriously.
Its just a discussion.
