Gotta admit that the MC and I are not even remotely on the same page anymore. At this point i'd rather see the cult bring back the other nephilim and play as that guy.
If you have multiple people talking about joining the baddies as a way to escape your Lis - something might have gone wrong in the writing.

Just did a speed run with the WT on - made dark path choices except 2 (helping Eliza in the forest and giving Bori his ring back) also chose intimidation over persuasion in every case and earned zero trust points with anyone except Eliza, Pearl got one point in a choice where you had to earn either 1 or 2, Bori got a few, and Maia and Lucid each got a few (Lucid is my 2nd favorite girl in this so far - but she's a god so probably not a Li). So everyone else is at either 0 or a negative number for trust points and I should be locked onto Eliza's romance path but locked out of the romance paths with Sylph, Luna, Amelia, and Pearl. So far none of that changes anything with the story - even people whose romance paths you are locked out of still talk about you like you're their future husband.

It would be interesting to see what happens if you took the Eliza friendship path but I don't think anyone did.

I actually plan to do that with some of my other favorites where I keep Eliza as a friend but romance only Amelia , Luna and Alice maybe Peral will see pending on updates. All as solo paths But won't do that for a long time

I don't honestly think it would change much. As far as I can tell there are no branching paths in this at all yet. The only thing that changes is whether or not you see a particular lewd scene.

I can't imagine this having the actual complexity to change the story all that much by turning on and off routes. Harem route looks pretty much canon and Buu just got lucky with writing for Eliza so she became the breakout star of it.

ah I mostly thinking of trying it when the game is completed or almost there or something unless something major happens in between.

Yeah she did. Not sure what the difference was. In the intro to this game you'd think that Eliza and Alice would be the big two but I've only talked to one person who doesn't like Eliza and only a handful who like Alice at all (even like her as a friend). I've talked to more people who are on an Eliza solo route than people who consider Alice a Li. So one S tier Li and one C or D tier li, but both characters were created by the same writer at roughly the same time. It'd be fascinating to know that process and why one soared and the other derailed.

At some point I'd like to do a survey of users and then a sort of interview with developers of various games to see what it is that sets the top Lis apart, because most games seem to have a few favorites and then it falls off pretty sharply. So are the best Lis based on someone the dev knows personally or ... what exactly is the difference because most of the time I don't think its intentional. (exceptions being things like Between Two Words - where if you don't like Hannah you won't like the game.)

Not trying to get too off topic, just find it interesting because I don't think Devs intentionally create Lis who are going to be disliked or mediocre and most of the time they don't seem to know who the favorite or favorites are going to be. I've even seen a few kinda blow up because players don't like a particular Li - so I'm wondering if there is something in the process that creates an S tier li or if it's just random.

It depends on the dev. Some write with a preferred LI or two in mind and add other LIs for flavor. Other devs will try and write a balanced story for each LI. Each dev has there own 'thing' going on when it comes to LIs.

I have over 10 paths with Eliza friendship only, you miss the lewd scenes, but the story is basically the same.

yeah mostly gonna do them way far in the future not anytime soon. Like for endings or if something major happens like if Eliza can die cause I think Buu said some can die eventually in the story

It's only because I set them up a while ago one day when I was filling in time. They don't take much time each update to skip through them.

Oh no, you're gonna start some people salivating at the fact LIs might die. :ROFLMAO:
