For me it was easy to friend zone Celine just like what she did to Liam. Not a fan of the blue hair/alt-girl persona, though I did like her easy going personality. I also didn't like feeling pressured by the dev, breaking the 4th wall into pursuing her path. Just like most forced girlfriends in other VNs, I instantly resisted choosing her. On a side note dev, if your intent is to make a character like Celine the de facto main, obvious LI, either make her more attractive all around or make it a kinetic VN.
Honestly, I would have loved the opportunity to have a chance with Danielle, whether to date her, or as a friend with benefits. Fred was so hate-able, there was nothing dev could do to make him sympathetic to me. Speaking of sympathetic, I got the difficult position Liam was forced into, and nice subtext on the destructive nature of obsession overall, but I had issues with that first story arc. I get the why part, but Liam should have been a better life-long friend and just man-to-man or a bro and tell the MC about his sister Alice.
*She was not attracted to certain guys (in which apparently the MC felt he belonged to)
*She was only ever going to see the MC as a little brother and not a romantic partner
*The MC's unhealthy obsession already led to him missing out on other more available girls who did like the MC
Whether the MC accepted those reasons or not, it would be on the MC and not Liam, but at least Liam would have his conscious clear and told him what he needed to hear. At that point the MC would be able to choose if he could be the bigger person and support Alice at her wedding or even before she eventually met Camilo.
I also refused to believe that after harboring such life long intense feelings for someone, the MC was simply going to get over Alice that fast and be able to interact with both Liam and Alice like nothing. At the very least, it was going to take some time (and maybe some therapy/counseling) to get over the grief before being able to be open for someone else. For me, that's why it was easier to just friend zone Celine, at most maybe have a brief fling with Danielle or Celine with the understanding nothing will ever come of it, they have no future as they are heading in opposite directions.
Alice probably doesn't need to know the MC DOES NOT see her as a big sis or has been in love with her all his life, but if she is gonna press him on why he is acting the way he is, there should be an option to just confess to her, if for no other reason than to get that closure and get it off his chest. See this is why I felt baited playing this, I thought we would at least get a chance to be with Alice, but not only did that not happen, I hated hearing about how she was already pregnant with another man's baby.
The MC may think he belonged to one of the category of men she detests, but I disagree. The MC was every bit the same as Camilo, except not short or ugly. I believe that the MC could have been given the opportunity to show Alice he can treat her as just another person, who loves her unconditionally without putting her on a pedestal. I also think it was a bit heavy handed how the dev wants the player to romance Celine, but then later presents another girl as a romantic option. Kinda sending mixed messages, no? Unless you're gonna allow players the chance at a harem or throuple, why even introduce competition for Celine?
IMO, my dream path would have been a full harem with Alice, Celine, Penny and maybe even Danielle, or at least some kind of throuple options.
