Excellent game, I loved it, the manipulations that Alex and Jeff do are very good, I found her rejection of modeling different, normally the characters become models and such.
I just think the pornography route could exist, that is, her leaving Alex and Jeff and Michael to work at the other one.

It's a planned Tag, look in the genre spoiler section, it shows you all planned tags, So yes Lesbian is planned for this novel

Welp, that shattered my hopes for a lesbian path
After all these comments about Roy and the heroine's lack of choice, I no longer want to download this update. Another game is ruined, it's a pity...

I did not encounter any forced content in my playthrough. I did however play the FMC as rejecting all old/disgusting/unattractive men throughout, so I may have ended up on a different path. It is possible that if FMC accepted a corrupt choice before that then the content could be forced, but I have not played that route.

This was great, I enjoyed the Episode 5 update (non-corrupt path). No forced content on my playthrough.
Minor bug: I noticed that the music played after FMC is accepted for the front desk was very loud and not responsive to the volume control.
It would be great if the FMC could have some LI options that are attractive and plausible for her.
Considering the large number of negative reviews regarding Roy, I’d like to clarify something. I didn’t name the game Shattered Hopes for no reason — Roy isn't the end of the road, only the beginning, which will lead to further plot development.
I intentionally didn't give the player a choice to be in a relationship with Roy or not — it's all part of the story that will lead to important events and choices later on. She will face many trials ahead, even on the City Route. As for her falling for Roy too quickly… well, you can't command the heart.

Yeah, sure... the heart. Because meeting someone for the very first time and only for a few minutes makes you instantly fall in love with them when you know absolutely nothing about that person. The only thing she knows about Roy; is his name is Roy. All they talked about was her duties at the hotel. But sure... the heart wants what the heart wants, even if it is a complete nobody that she knows absolutely nothing about.
I mean, you gave us choices to command everything else that dealt with the heart, but sure, whatever. Well, at least we know there won't be any pure lesbian path now, since you're going to force Roy on the player without a choice. Roy is completely unappealing, so yeah. That ruins the game for me.
Hate when a LI is forced on you for "plot reasons". Because it is never a good reason. Especially when it is a LI that is completely unappealing and not interesting at all. Not every character will appeal to every player, thus why we like choices on that stuff. But forcing it on them when they don't like that character? Yeah, it just ruins the whole game.
So yeah, not for me. That just makes me lose interest entirely. But you seem to have an audience who doesn't care either way, so good on that at least for you. Either way, thanks still.
The Roy plot made no sense, I feel like you're rushing to set up some kind of a storyline there that maybe needs more time in the oven, the way it is building up currently is unnatural. Micheal would have been a far more realistic target for MCs crush, and maybe you could make Roy the one to fall for the MC at first sight, thus setting up some ground for future conflict.
There were also no choices in this update, which is not ideal, but it's only one update, so it's fine I guess.

That's how I met my wife, actually — fell for her the moment I saw her, and it didn't matter that I didn't know a thing about her. I don't think women work much differently in that regard.
As for choices, no matter how hard I try to offer as many options as possible, there will always be people who don’t like any of the dozen characters, and the game would just turn into a pickup simulator where you simply pick whoever you like and develop a relationship with them. What would happen to the story then? Nothing — all the effort would go into catering to every taste with different characters. This game is first and foremost about the story.
You will have a choice in the Whore Route — to stay alone or to enter a “relationship.” In the City Route, it’s much more diverse: you can not only pursue a love line but also cheating, and there’s even a lesbian route planned (yes, it’s in the works). How can she become a lesbian after falling for Roy? You’ll find out later. Roy isn't even her last romantic interest — her love story hasn't even properly begun yet.
No matter how much I try to make the game more varied, you’ll still end up attached to certain characters depending on your choices — and there’s nothing that can be done about that.

Don't expect from f95 "experts" to know anything about relationships, most of them never hold a girl hand, but they are first to judge and give you a life advice
Stick to your original vision, don't let a few crybabies manipulate you

Except when people ask about a lesbian route, they're looking for an actual lesbian route. What you're doing is not a lesbian route. If you have to be forced into male relationships before a lesbian route can even begin, then it's not a lesbian route at all. It ruins the lesbian route completely if they have to be forced to be with men first.
And that's one of the problems with the Roy thing. You're going to force him on the player, thus negating the whole lesbian route. You talk about it being diverse, and we can pursue a love line or cheating, and all that other stuff. And then you go and force a "romantic interest" on the player, destroying all those options. A "romantic interest" that some players have no interest in and find unappealing. Just for "plot reasons".
But it's your game, not trying to tell you to change it. Just giving some feedback and my opinion on it is all.
That actually makes sense. I don't have experience with lesbian storylines — looks like I really made a mistake for those wanting a lesbian route. My sincere apologies. Lack of experience, I guess.
Its an easy fix if you intend to have a lesbian route, just don't force Roy onto the player, Jody who Layla is working with could have been a crush/LI since they will be spending so much time working together, and jody has already told Leyla that she is a lesbian, That would have been the ideal pace to set the lesbian route. you mention cheating as part of "the city route" will that be forced or by choice, Like someone else mentioned it's your Novel to do as you please, most of us will just give you feedback, its down to you if you take it as an insult to your intended story or if you find it helpful to help you moving forward.
