No, not avoid entirely, you can just break up with her when it becomes relevant I think. You can't have Ian "seeing" both of them, but he's free to do things with them until then.
Sometimes it's feels like this:I was really hoping there would be an option to pursue something with cherry
Indeed. Might need to go to google maps to find the nearest possible cliff at this point. This is some bullshit.
It's a shame there is only one on-ramp for Cherry. It seems like you could easily put one into the exhibition night. Or maybe the night at fortress. But I believe it's only that first night at Shine that opens any further content with her. Which doesn't match the practices of the rest of the game.
If you're a new player, it isn't a harem game, but you can juggle quite a few people at the same time. If that's for you, explore who you think you may be able to fool around with, without others finding out. After 2-3 playthroughs, start messing with the walkthrough.
There are a couple of spots where I feel like an "on ramp" could have come about or might still in the future.
I'm also curious if there will be a late game re-onramp for Mike, if Lena caught feelings and was jealous. It's one of the more interesting sub paths, to see how twisted Lena's motivations can get.
I imagine trinity may potentially fork back into the three monogamous relationships between Lena-Ian-Holly, if one of them cheats on the others and could potentially get kicked out of the trio lol.
Knowing Eva, it will happen. Holly will somehow hook up with Stan, for no rhyme or reasoning, causing Lena to murder both in their apartment, forcing Louise and Lena to go on the run, leaving Ian to his lonesome with Ivy...
As it is, Lena can be potentially on thin ice after her thing with Seymour. It'd be kind of funny if what was originally Ian/Lena ended up as Ian/Holly, after Holly got included and then Lena turned out untrustworthy, cheating with Seymour on them both and having them bond over it.
Holly trinity requires love variables between Lena and Ian correct? Love variables that would cause Ian to break up with Cindy and Alison for example. I'm kinda curious how much of Cindy you can get with Ian, before then turning it into trinity and potentially end up with just Holly in the future if Lena cheats like in your example.As it is, Lena can be potentially on thin ice after her thing with Seymour.

Going by my playthrough, at the very least Ian and Cindy can bang in the alley. For this matter you can probably prolong it for a couple more sex scenes until Lena/Cindy split point, although now am not sure if this doesn't pop up as trinity blocker, if Ian was doing more with Cindy than just the "one time mistake we both regretted" that he gets away with otherwise.I'm kinda curious how much of Cindy you can get with Ian, before then turning it into trinity and potentially end up with just Holly in the future if Lena cheats like in your example.
That'd be the only way to go to the birthday party instead of the bookfair and still get the Holly romance, if it were achievable
I made a playthrough where Ian fucked every girl at least once and it's possible to fuck Cindy without getting in love with her while still dating (but not couple) Lena who is in love with Ian but also with Holly. You get to the beach trip and instead of breaking up with Lena because she wants a more commited relationship, chad Ian gets the trinity. So IIRC, you are on chapter 13 with chad Ian having fucked Cherry (but not any more I think), Alison in thereesome with Jeremy and after Cherry's exposition, Emma (even during the beach trip before Lena arrives), Minerva (rough dominating path), Louise in a threesome with Lena and do the sexting with her after and also flirting with Ivy and I even tried late telling Cindy that I was getting in love with her just to see what happens.Going by my playthrough, at the very least Ian and Cindy can bang in the alley.

But yeah, you can in fact get both Cindy and Holly in some capacity this way.
Hmm, isn't that a bug with the Ch.12 resolution at the beach, though? I think there was like a couple instances where the game would just advance to wrong branch because it was next label that it wouldn't normally reach in legit manner. But can't remember if this was one of such cases.
