Cherry being hung up on Axel weakens her appeal a bit. Hard to feel like Short King Ian can properly fill that void - literally and figuratively. Ian often feels like Lena and Cherry’s “second choice” - the one who
only wins b/c he isn’t toxicity manifest. Starting to feel a tad like that with Cindy as well.
The gals like Holly and Allison are very Ian preferenced in contrast.
Cherry’s content block being both pretty thin in comparison to conflicting routes and not having much interaction with other routes hurts her as well.
There are some pretty interesting potentialities there though. Cucking Lena with a Cherry x Holly X Ian throuple would pretty Wildin’ for anyone who likes to stir up drama, revenge porn, or simply dislikes Lena.
