VN Ren'Py Law School [Ep.2] [MisterMaya]

[Dessolos]

So the three LIs with mysteries, it seems pretty straightforward to me.

Miranda: is Miss E. She lost her voice to an illness recently, and that's why she had to do a career change. She even reacted when Danielle mentioned having rock stars around.

Taylor: her parents died last year. That's why she had to drop out that year, and that's why her parents 'went back to Europe,' to be buried. She's sad and doesn't want to talk about it.

Sana: she's almost certainly the kid of a crime family and Viktor is her bodyguard. I would be happily surprised if that was somehow avoided, but seems very straightforward.


Hard to pick a current favourite LI, which is a good sign (though managing all the branches can be a pain). Lana was an early lead, but didn't really like her character redesign for chapter 2 (or some of the other redesigns), and since then she's treading water in easy lay territory. Rose has that best friend connection, which is a trope that often pays dividends. Mirabella is my current fav of the classmates, just too damn cute and her hair when it's not coiffed is amazing. Elsa has the lead for staff, though Danielle is stepping on her red-head territory, but haven't seen enough of her. Taylor seems like one of the best matches for the MC, values wise. Chemistry seems to be there as well. Samara is hot, but I don't know if she's an LI (same with Fang). Olive dances on that line of adorable and annoying, and I'm not sure which she'll radiate, line by line. But I can see the appeal.

No one else seemed like a good long term option, but they all seem great for a few flings.

It's a game with promise.

I hope Danielle gets better but honestly she is my most disliked character and she is a LI over Lana sadly

There should definitely be more than one clerk on staff. Might be something suspended disbelief is supposed to handle. Then again, this is a weird amalgamation of law school and college. They are vastly different experiences. Selena might be a terrible librarian as well. Maybe she spends all day thinking about Caroline.

Honestly, it would make a lot more sense as some sort of 'pre-law summer school/camp' thing that takes place after high school and before college. The attitudes and behaviors of the cast would make more sense, it would still get them away from home and be able to be an intensive, lawyer-focused setting, and it would avoid the weird cognitive dissonance of them treating law school like their first day of college.

As for Rose, I find her a clingy cockblocker, who is permitted to not treat the MC particularly well because she makes cute faces and they have a history. I think MM needed to do a better job of showing the positives of their relationship before she started getting in the way of everything. But I know everyone has their own feelings about her.

(I also find Lana super dull, so I'm fine with her not being a LI.)

I always did the summer camp thing in between years at high school (math camp, literature camp, etc). The gap between junior and senior year, I remember being mad that they scheduled Governor's School and Boys State too close together to do both easily. While it would be too young to do for VN sake, the attitudes and atmosphere here is very close to what I experienced at Governor's School. So I agree with the summer camp premise.

As for Rose, the MC has that long term relationship but the player doesn't, and it's hard to convey that quickly, especially if it's someone with Rose's personality, who will rapidly either endear or alienate someone.
