Is it just me or is the MC incredibly cringy? The comments on Lustagram are just something else and for some reason he likes to call girls he's never met before ''baby'', ''sweetie'' etc..
Why is it that you still haven't found a competent editor for your Engrish yet? Every new update is barely comprehensible.
In general I think it's OK. It definitely doesn't sound like a native English speaker, but usually it's all right. There are clearly some things that sound quite a bit off, like "It's the same as judging people by skin color or sexual identity. All those claims, as well as the claimers, should sit and spin right away!" Both claims and claimers wouldn't really be used here, but at least it's understandable. However, I have never heard any idiom remotely similar to "sit and spin right away". I'm assuming this is meant to be something like "piss right off", but it's definitely strange. I'm not volunteering, but they do need someone to help them out.

The problem for me isn't the fluency of the author, which while not particularly good, isn't game-breaking. My real problem is that the dialogue seems to be written by someone who hasn't spoken to an actual human being even once in their life.

I would probably agree with some of that being rougher to read, but I'm fairly confident some of the turns of phrase or uses of words like "baby" or "sweetie" are likely influenced by the original language and what's actually common in the region they're from. For instance (as is well known), in the American South a lot of women will call somebody "hun" or "honey" without ever having met them before. It's a Southern cultural anomaly to American English, but maybe some dialects and regions in other languages have something similar.

In my experience with various languages and their etymologies, it's not that uncommon to find a pattern of speech gets duplicated in multiple locations that aren't close to one another at all, even across different languages. So some oddities in speaking like this probably come from real-world speech somewhere, presumably in another language as well.

You know that since the MC saved Ashley's life she would probably do what he wanted - like not become a stripper
She's one of those bitches who thinks world revolves around them and they get the reality check only when things goes south. I know that Don was extremely controlling towards her but the way she is behaving now Don was doing it for her own good. I mean, she got freedom and the first thing she decided to do is to become a stripper.

I interpret that as rebellion. She wants to become a stripper because it's the farthest thing Don would want from her. I could always be wrong, but to me it feels more like she'll eventually learn she doesn't like it after all. But for now, I think she's convinced herself she enjoys it because it gives her the satisfaction of sticking it to Don. Sometimes people who act out do end up embracing whatever they've decided to do during their rebellion, but often they learn to regret it and ultimately move on to something they'd rather do.

Whether that will be the outcome for her isn't clear, but right now I'd guess it's almost wholly an act of defiance and nothing more. And she doesn't even need to tell Olivia and Don what she's doing. Just the act itself gives her the satisfaction.

Don't misunderstand my feeling about her doing it, though. I'm just saying what I think is going on in her mind. I'm not happy that she's chosen that.

I can understand that reason but it was MC who saved her and brought her to his academy. She should have listened to him atleast. MC can still go and ask his professors to erase her memory and send her ass back to don.

I don't understand what happened to the writing in 2nd season. 1st season was quite good.

MC is also a photographer and molly wanted to have a nude photoshoot. She could have asked MC to do her photoshoot and it would have been a long awaited start of her romance route but writer had to screw it up by letting someone else take her photos. :FacePalm:

Did they by any chance change the writer for season 2?

This term is used in Brazil, maybe in other countries too, try to imagine a dildo or anything that alludes to a penis, when the person uses this term "sit and spin right away" it's a less explicit way of telling another to "go fu*k yourself" something like "fu*k you".
Weird I thought that Americans used this expression, I've seen it used in series and movies, but it must have been in subtitles, so it caused me this perception.

Well, I've not been to all parts of America (probably most regions though). I don't believe I've ever heard that idiom before. But you've confirmed that I understood the meaning, so thanks.

We do have the insult where we flip someone off and tell them to sit on it. It basically means the same thing, to go fuck yourself.

That's only used by the older generation though. Remember the MC is supposed to be 18, and judging by his explanation to for example Lily on why he called her something like sweetie when they've interacted a maximum of three times I don't think this to be the case.

I just found out this is a new reference, from Eminem's "The King and I" lyrics. Since it was released this year and I've not listened to anything by Eminem for a long time now, I had no idea. So it's a rap lyric, which if I'm honest seems even more odd coming from the MC. :unsure:

Ashley is a bratty teenager who no longer has to listen to her controlling father. It make sense story wise why she wouldn’t want to listen to MC. She wants to make her own decisions instead of listening to people telling her what to do with her life.

Besides, it’s not like she’s gonna get gangbanged by a bunch of dwarves in the VIP room. She only wants to work the pole and she has no interest working in the VIP room. Best thing you could hope for is some future event which makes her regret her decision and you finally convince her to stop stripping.

Everybody can obviously still feel about her whatever they will, but I think a lot of folks here have been either too quick to make assumptions or highly reductive of Ashley's motives in doing what she does. Given that her own father molested her throughout her teenage years, even more than before I am unsurprised by her choice to be a stripper. It's not uncommon for victims of sexual abuse of various types and degrees to end up later embracing a lifestyle that is or at least that leans heavily in that direction.

I'm hopeful that things will change for her and she'll be able to pull out of it eventually (especially if she's eventually able to be accepted at Cordale), but for now she's struggling to deal with things in her own way. It's not good for her, and it's not the answer to things, but it's what's in her head right now. She may actually feel that way too, but I think her saying things like "being a waitress is boring" was just an excuse she used to explain why she would begin stripping in the first place.
