Should ian_lena_pure get set to True in the Ian/Lena/Holly throuple path if Ian and Lena have not cheated on each other at all up to that point? Or does the fact that remains False on that path indicate that Ian has doubts?

ian_lena_pure is a flag for Ian/Lena being a fully faithful and dedicated couple, without Holly's participation. If you have the trinity active, then it sort-of implies the "pure" aspect because it cannot be formed without these conditions.

By not setting the flag on trinity route the dev can discern between these routes easier in the script.

But in the last Ian/Lena scene in this version, Lena still says that Ian is distant like some secret thing is bothering him.

This scene shouldn't trigger on trinity route, it's a bug. It's supposed to be scene for Ian/Lena as a couple, and there it covers all couple variants, but doesn't take into account the trinity aspect, because it doesn't "expect" that branch in there.

I see! Thank you for clearing that up for me.

Do i need to avoid Jeremy to make Lena and Ian in a relationship?

Yes. If Lena has had sex with Jeremy, she'll tell Ian she's not ready for a committed relationship.

Although, depending on other things that happen, I think it's still possible for them to get into a relationship later.

Yes. Lena and Ian can be FWB while Lena is having sex with Jeremy, and Lena/Ian can ultimately develop to the point where they decide to get together. But it should be noted that in this scenario Lena automatically decides she'll no longer have sex with Jeremy and they end up switching to friendship.

A dating sim (with or without porn) with a female protagonist and wholesome male romances is a very niche market. Most of the audience of these games is male and is not interested in that kind of content (playing a woman romancing handsome men). They want kinks and "corruption" with lots of sex if they're playing a female. Lesbian content interests some of them though, as romancing wholesome women is still pleasant even though the protagonist doesn't have a dick (and futa genre exists).

So that's why Lena's male LI are not handsome men outside Ian who is also a protagonist. And Ian's part is more conventional male MC's story with character improvement and wholesome female LI.

Yes that's double standard but it is what it is, men and women are different and have different interests.

As a gay man, I was partially interested in this game due to playing as Lena, and yeah... aside from Ian, she doesn't have that many physically attractive options. I think Axel and Jeremy are the only two others who arguably look better than Ian, but personality-wise, they're terrible. More or less

When I'm playing Ian's section, I'm interested in pairing him with Cherry, Lena, and Holly. But for Lena, I feel like Ian is my only choice for her, assuming I don't turn Ian into a douche. Because she deserves better

Why would the mod be insecure though? Probably deleted on account of off topic.

That was exactly what they said. "Off topic" which was funny, bc I thought it was pretty relevant to the topics.

There's no point. The thread is full of it, some users can't mention the dev, patrons, players nor they can comment about the dislikes of the game/characters.

I know they don't like political comments. Even ones as vague as possible. Many of my comments have been deleted for that. They didn't give me any reason but that is my guess. Most of my comments were just light-hearted jokes but I guess they didn't like it or have a poor sense of humor . I won't be surprised if this comment gets deleted by tomorrow :/

I actually like Mike as well. I mean, he's toxic, and their relationship is a red flag, but that aside, he's actually the one who treated Lena fairly.

What I like about this thread rather than the Patreon thread is there is open conversation that includes criticism of the work. I like EKs work, but I also value differing ideas and critique. Over there, any commentary that is negative about the content meets A LOT of rejection. Not by the mods but the users.
