I had a dramatic turn around for my favs from Chapter 3. (The most I've ever had in any AVN update ever I think).
My likes are based on how I feel as a romantic interest for me, rather than how I feel about them as a character. For example, I really don't like Emily romantically, but I love her as a character for the story.
Personally, I didn't particularly like Sarah from early. No real reason, just didn't gel as a romantic option for me.
At the start of chapter 3 I had: Hailey, Lisa, Emily, Ella.
Emily showed some manipulation that I really didn't like. (Great writing btw), so she went way down my list. And I don't think she can come back romantically for me.
I saw a side of Lisa that had me a bit concerned. When she put her business hat on, it's like she changed into a different person. I'll have to see where she builds from here.
Hailey was lovely and still really high on my list, but her association with Emily (and no way out of that), just dropped her down to #2.
I was really disappointed that Ella kept something like that from me. She had opportunity, and maybe she planned to share, but at the moment, I'm a little sad about it.
Madelyn is the most visually appealing to me, and as we got to know her a little bit, I really fell in love with her, I mean me, I know MC isn't there (yet??). So she jumped into my #1 spot. I know she may not get a happy ending with MC, but for now, I really, really like her.I even choked up a little bit, when her and MC were chatting and hugging on their walk.
Lily kind of got the #3 by default, but her one line, about being there to make sure MC didn't get hurt and protect his interests, really spoke to me and made me care for her. Of course, she could be bullshitting like half the people in it,but I'll give her the benefit for now.
I have no doubt, my 3 will change all over again after chapter 4.![]()
After Chapter 3, Sarah maintained her #1 spot for me. Through her experience with Maddy, she has the perfect (for me) measure of connection to the MC's family, unlike Madelyn who has too much of it, and the other girls who have too little. She's definitely not my favourite look-wise in a game where Hailey exists, and for me it's actually the story where she wins.I like Sarah, she's probably my favourite of the girls to look at, but in terms of the story. I don't think there's much there with a nurse struggling with mortality and her job. I think the better story is going to be with Lily...
As for Lily, I think she's the opposite extreme of Madelyn. While romancing the readhead would give me an impression of MC's unhealthy inability to let go, giving Lily, who the MC was supposed to date before he hooked up with Ella, a second chance could look like admitting that the whole story with Ella was a mistake. I'm not a fan of Ella, so for me it's not such an outlandish idea, but for someone in MC's shoes, it's just horrid.
