The unrealistic part is not Wade dating Cindy(hes supposed the handsome in game,even Ivy says it) the unrealistic part is leaving him for a 1,75 writer who cries about her ex,talk about low standards for your cheating:whistle:

Wade doesn't have Cindy for long, doesn't he? He loses her in every playthrough, even if Ian tells him to keep his shit together.
Cindy helds on to him on good faith, gives him chances and isn't breaking up because of one single misstep. Even people in abusive relationships that have it significantly worse than Cindy can hold on on their partners. Breaking up and getting a new partner is stressfull and not guaranted (look at Alison), because she is indecisive and wants stability and security. She is only breaking up with Wade as she becomes more and more convinced her new career and friend Axel live up to her standards and seem a safe risk. While I wouldn't say Axel on his own managed to let her breakp up with Wade, he merely sped up the inevitable.

And with Perry, he just relaxes, plays videogames and competes in tournament that are his passion. Even a depressed person barely functioning can be happy in their stressfree comfort zone, even more so if they use it to vent from the stressfull everyday life.

Yeah, they don't stick around in any playthrough. If Wade and Cindy have a good relationship flag, then Wade breaks up with her; otherwise, it's Cindy who initiates it.

Wade also had a job until some months (year?) ago, so it's not like he's spent all his time since high school doing nothing. It's only after he lost it that things apparently dissolved, both in his relationship and otherwise. He's probably taken better care of his appearance/fitness too, otherwise Ian wouldn't be so surprised seeing his current form at the beach.
Click to expand...
Absolutely, and if he can find his direction again, I think Wade can bounce back. He just isn't there right now. I assume the breakup will act as a catalyst for him though.

Yes, if Lena has some sexual history with Jeremy he's an option in CH.13. if Ian is on cuck path he'll reluctantly accept this as possibility, otherwise he'll shoot it down.
Python: 
                "Jeremy" if lena_jeremy_dating or v8_jeremy_flirt or v7_bbc == "lena":
                    l "How about Jeremy? I think he'd be up for it..."
//...

                        i "No way. Not with that guy... I don't like the way you two dealt with things, keeping me in the dark."
                        l "Yeah, I know... I'm sorry about that."
                        if ian_lena > 0:

                        i "I'm not comfortable with the situation... Besides, I'm not in good terms with Jeremt right now, so no. You'll have to think of someone else."

                                l "I'm glad you think that way."

That's a bummer that Ian has to be a cuck for Lena / Ian / Jeremy threesome. I would think that if Ian and Jeremy have a good relationship and have already had their threesome with Allison that Ian would be ok with Jeremy joining him and Lena.

It's a flag for Ian and Lena who's been friends with benefits for most of the game but end up agreeing to start a full relationship in Ch.12.

And how can I achieve that? I know Lena has to fuck Jeremy in an earlier chapter so that she and Ian can't get into a relationship in chapter 9. But how can I make them become a couple in chapter 12 after that?

Have Ian and Lena continue to hook up. If Ian is pursuing Cindy, avoid fucking her outside the club where you'll get caught in the act by Ivy. Continue to make choices that increase Ian/Lena relationship points. At some point before going to the beach house, Lena should have an option to say "I want to be with Ian" if their relationship is high enough. At the beachhouse, Ian should have an option to commit to Lena. Then they'll have a romantic night on the beach together and finally be a full-on couple.

Unfortunately, Ian is kinda hardcoded to get pissed off at Jeremy who has been hooking up with Lena and reveals that to Ian. So, their relationship is given to be in a poor place at that point, even if they're otherwise friends.

* Ian needs to tell Jeremy he has feelings for Lena in Ch.7 (ian_lena_love flag is set true)
* Ian has to choose to stop thinking about Gillian (gillian_stop flag is set true)
* Lena needs to have feelings for Ian: cuddle up after sex in Ch.7 and pick "I love you!" option during sex in Ch.11 (lena_ian_love flag is > 0.5)
* Lena has to move on from Axel (either don't have sex with Axel in Ch.9 or don't check his texts, don't masturbate thinking about him and choose "Snap out of it" in Ch.10) and pick "I want to be with Ian" option in Ch.12
* Lena can't get together with Axel in Chapter 12 (lena_axel_fuck flag is set false)

If all these conditions are met then during the talk at the beach in Ch.12 both Lena and Ian will automatically agree to become a couple.

The whole "Gillian left me, I can't get over it" storyline would hit a lot harder if she left him for one of his friends, and both of them were present in the story. You could make Gillian appear in every chapter almost like a spectre haunting Ian, and the male friend could be present in the story as a rival (instead of Robert, lol), maybe culminating by being the final opponent in the MMA tournament, or the book competition, or both.

I've thought about it a bit today, and the neatest solution would be to just have Axel be the guy Gillian cheated with, and Gillian take the role of Cherry as the girl Axel cheated with. It would also make for a more original and spicy way for Ian and Lena to meet and start talking to each other.

Then have Gillian hang around because she's part of their friend group. Again, she could just replace Cherry.

Still, whatever the best story solution would be, the general point is that Gillian is massively underutilized in the game. Hot character model and a breakup that supposedly totally wrecked our MC, early tease with Ian looking at her photos and having dreams about her, and then... nothing for like 10 chapters straight. Lena is constantly bumping into Axel, bothered and tempted by him. Gillian should have been constantly opening Ian's wounds the same way.

Is there any real content for Gillian other than when they bump into each other? I never followed her back, or kept her photos around, that I can recall.

There is some content, only in cuck dreams for Ian though

Axel is single. Supposedly fucking Cindy or other ones doesn't make him be in a couple

I mean Mike has got to be the dude Gillian cheated with / is now dating right? If he's not i feel like that's a bit of a miss, story wise, from Eva.

Hey, guys... just sharing a tought.

It seems to me that something got broke in the storytelling when Lena went to Rome. Right now I don't have the same interest to keep playing.

All in way or the highway to Lena is not so fun.

Hey guys! Does Ian's "Chad" level affect how he acts outside of our choices? I feel like he acts like a jerk sometimes and i have no influence on that lol.

Not really a miss since it's only relevant if Lena's dating him. Otherwise he could be any other random guy.
