In the relationship of Lena and Ian with their bosses, you have to choose either self-esteem, or a good attitude of the bosses towards them:

1) Minerva. Her attitude to Ian can be good only if he agrees with her in everything. If, he does not agree, then her attitude towards him worsens. Interestingly, this will affect whether he can continue to work for her (if the attitude becomes completely bad).

2) Robert. (he is not the boss, but relatively senior in position). His attitude to Lena can be good only in exchange for her consent to do what he wants. If she does not agree and rejects him, then his attitude will be bad.

3) Ed. If Lena stops him in his desires, then his attitude towards her will worsen

4) Ward. He said he wants to work with her. I think that if Lena agrees to work with him, then there will be nothing good. Most likely, here, too, have to choose either self-esteem, or his good attitude towards her. I think that Lena felt it. Maybe that's why Lena did not like his eyes.
Moreover, Ward and Axel are somehow connected.

Ward and Axel are somehow connected. They were together in a restaurant. Maybe they are relatives. At first I thought Ward was his father. But they have different surnames. Maybe he is his uncle?

Ah ! Yes ! Holly is my number 1 girl but when it comes to her being a freak, I agree with John Doe Jr. it will depend on our actions and I even think that her corruption will indirectly come from Ivy. Why Ivy ? Because she's the one who's influencing Lena into being naughtier and I think Lena will be the one leading Holly down that path... maybe Holly will end up writing romance/sex novels ?
Yeah, indirectly it'll be because of Ivy. Ivy's influence on Lena will then trickle down to Holly. If you corrupt Holly I'm also interested in how that'll change her writing. Maybe she'll end up writing scripts for pornos and revolutionize porn movies. No more will porn have bad plot and acting!

Imagine if Ivy actually introduces Jeremy to Lena and either they go for threesome or he goes for her behind Ian's back, which I see him having no problem doing it since he could do it with Alison.

Best man wins mindset

How do you get a threesome with Alison?

That date of Ian and Lena at the music store was heartwarming.
I'm definitely shipping them (on my romantic route).

But following just a single route in an EvaKiss game? Of course not!
This is how the scene played out in my imagination (on my lewd route)...

I wish the game would give me the option to only play as one of the characters and skip the scenes of the other one.
Kind of feels weird jumping back and forth between 2 different characters, especially because they also interact with each other.
It's a bit like you're trying to date yourself... while also trying to decide if you should cheat on yourself...
Like I said, feels a bit weird and immersion breaking for me.

otherwise really good game though

This is why personally, I'm not doing the Lena/Ian route. It's weird doing a romance path of 2 characters that you control. It is like I'm dating myself lol.

I think that's the crux.

Some people refuse to distinguish between themselves and the MC - which is completely fine (some VNs even encourage this view by letting you name the MC after yourself).

On the other hand this perception seems to be the main reason why certain genres like NTR get so much flak - it's mainly because some people take things (too) personally.

In my opinion Our Red String isn't supposed to be played from a first person view - we aren't those characters, we just control them (to a certain extent) and witness the unfolding story.

That's not how i view it. You play a game to win, if it's a video game, chess, basketball or wathever. A PC/MC is your brick that you move around and maneuver to achive your goal/win. A VN is usually a text based game, where you control your "brick" in an effort to win or reach your desired conclusion. Any type of game that gives you the choices or control a character actions is clearly designed to be viewed from the MC's prespective. I feel what you is describing is a more like a kinetic novel, which is a pointless media in my opinion, since books or movies will do the job better. As I have a hard time dealing with "walls of text" on no player agency in games.

You are right. This is exactly the case. To properly enjoy the game, you need to compartmentalize. I'm going to go full-on Assassin's Creed here. It's okay to immerse yourself in the experience and empathize with both main characters, and also try to bleed a bit of yourself into their personality as well (or let their personality traits bleed into yours). In AC, while you can play as different ancestors in the past, your main protagonist is Desmond who uses the machine to relive their memories and it's important to remember that. The same goes for ORS. I can see how it can be annoying or disorienting, jumping from one character to another, but you also have to remember that you're neither of them. You just take control of them. Another analogy would be Sims, but with a better narrative. In Sims you can play as any of the characters but they do have their own personalities and goals and you're neither of them and all of them at the same time. You are the Director of the story. Or a God who wants to experience the life of these humans. Or a cat who can telepathically influence both of the protagonists. Whatever excuse works for you.
