I don't get the chance to not become a couple with Lena in Chap 9 as Ian. I only get the " I want a relationship with you" with the ring icon option everytime.
IIRC you might need to have Ian be in loving relationship with Alison, so the option to be a couple with Lena is disabled. (do make sure to pick heart options for Ian/Lena and Lena/Ian where available, though) Then around Ch.11-12 give Alison cold shoulder and ignore her texts for the "love" to end, and allow Ian to get in relationship with Lena in Ch.12.

I pick the love options with Alison every chance I get but I don't get the " Embrace her " with the love icon option during their trip in chap 9.

Hmm yeah, checking the script that option is blocked if ian_lena_love flag is set. OK, i guess at this point it is quite official, the "get together late" route for Lena/Ian isn't really possible to pull off even if you jump through a lot of hoops, with too many mutually exclusive restrictions in the earlier part of the game that prevent the final conditions from being possible to fulfil.

Probably best to wait until next Chapter to see if maybe EK has already realized/fixed that on their end, and if it persists then notifying them about it might be in order.

The simplest fix would be to allow the player to select manually a casual relationship with Lena even if they're eligible for romantic one, instead of attaching conditions to it like "isn't in love with anyone".

In chapter 9 if you don't get into a relationship with Lena, you'll have another chance in chapter 12. For it to work, Ian cannot be dating Cindy or Alison and Lena must choose that she wants to be in a relationship with Ian. Also, for you to not get the crisis event, Lena must not sleep with anyone at the club in chapter 11. If you messed up and got the crisis event anyways, don't panic. Simply choose the broken heart option for Ian, he will still be in love in Lena but will act super jealous (using this method Ian can still be dating Cindy and Alison and it would still work). Lena must then also choose that she wants to be with Ian. BTW i you don't know what the crisis event is, it's when Jeremy tells Ian that Lena was sleeping around at the club.
During the 1st playthrough I failed all things to make Ian and Lena a couple. Fucked all budies, fucked Axel 3 times. No option in chapter 12 "I want be with him". Nevertheless, I just replayed chaper 12. I used 2 will points to reject Axel before the train and 1 will point to reject Ian's exgirlfriend in his dream. Success )). Ian and Lena are a couple. She isn't happy about Cindy, but still all things are ok. She rejected all other guys after that with no option. However 1 will pont is used to reject Seymoure.
