Wdym, I happily ignore every single debate and only pursue Allison on a romance path. She has 0 issues and everything is perfect.

Don't get me wrong, I think Alison is a good LI too, but she seems quite insecure (as throughout the story she tries to improve her appearance and wants to look "hotter" just to compete with Lena - even on the romance path) and constantly complains about her life, while never really listening to Ian's problems to the same extent.
If Ian doesn't show interest in her early on, she hooks up with Jeremy (even though she doesn't even like him) just to make Ian jealous. This is kind of petty. One could argue that she's also kind of a coward since she's obviously in love with Ian from the very beginning and only really opens about that in the new chapter (13). No doubt she is determined, smart, hot and her love for Ian seems genuine, which is why her romance path is solid, but there's no doubt she has her flaws.

Most girls I noticed in ORS have a lot of real insecurities and problems just like in real life. Some are more prominent than others and yeah Alison does have insecurity issues but overall, seems the most stable out of everything. Lena is the other one but that's mostly controlled by the player.

If you don't want to get "bored" doing the "boring" playthrough. Just tab or ctrl and speedrun.

I've now read multiple times on here that all of Ian's LI are kind of "terrible people" or at very least "unlikeable". Can someone provide any reasoning for why that is the case? I understand that they all are obviously flawed and have weaknesses, but this doesn't make someone instantly "unlikeable".

To keep it brief, none of the girls are decent long term relationship material, since they all are attached to some sort of crisis and conflict that has to be resolved. Which is just the games nature and typical in VNs. You don't want to play a game about a safe, but boring love interest, rather, there won't be nothing to challenge and force you to choose.

Lena is opinionated and if you date her, you have to compete with dozen other people making a move on her. Her crazy ex, a ruthless millionaire who ruins her and your life if you are on the wrong foot with them.
Holly is a spineless people pleaser and mentally a child.
Cindy is a diva who you have to sacrifice too much for her whims.
Alison is passive aggressive, insecure and babytraps and bimbofications herself if you don't commit to her.
Emma is a selfrightous activist commited to the cause.
Minerva ruins your career to get off.
Cherry provides nothing but her trauma and guilt.
Louise is mentally a teen and now she is betraying Lena for a rushed flighty fling.
Bad Jess forces you to play therapist or to take advantage of a inner dead person.
Ivy is a slut.

I kind of agree with respect to Alison, Holly, and Emma more belatedly...

For me, changing yourself in order to get a man is a *massive* red flag.

It's one thing to be in a relationship and allow yourself to be influenced by the person you're with. That's inevitable and healthy but changing yourself in order to have a relationship with a person? And without really knowing them all that well? Awful... shows a real lack of self-confidence and self-respect. Utterly maiden-less behaviour.

On a purely practical level it tends not to work as all you're really doing is kicking the rejection can down the road... six months in, you always wind up getting increasingly annoyed that the person you're dating shows no interest in the person you were before you started performing this weird persona you adopted in order to get a date.

It's like the movie Gone Girl where the chick adopts this contrived 'cool chick' persona and then fakes her death in order to get away from her husband and she's like 'I hated eating pizza and pretending to like sports!' Girl... be yourself and find someone who accepts you for who you are, Jesus. Building your relationship on a lie is not a good thing because you inevitably wind up resenting the shit out of the person who swallowed the lie.

We need a spin-off game in which Robert dates all the old and freakishly-weird female NPCs in this game...

Like he's a complete mess and hitting on Lena's mum because she reminds him of Lena then the elderly billionaire puts him in a cock-cage while his side piece the shrieking fatso from the club bursts into the toilet with a knife.

All people have weak points, its why relationships take work. Most of what you listed are not relationship enders.

So is there a route for only Lena - Holly rn? Or does it have to be with Ian all three?

I like the chemistry they have but so far everything seems to point out at Ian also being involved...

There is, without any involvement from Ian. Though, this path is pretty late game.
