VN Ren'Py Our Red String [Ch.14.1.4 Beta] [Eva Kiss]

[IlikebeingaDIK]

There's absolutely no way a girl like Cindy would ever let a guy like Ian hit . Did evakiss choose Ian as the main guy herself or was it a poll decision?

I mean... He shares Lena's spot as a main character. He is quite literally the main guy.

As for Cindy, she wants a model/influencer 'lifestyle' and got bored from her boyfriend for lack of initiative and ambition.

What exactly makes you think she wouldn't let Ian, who's portrayed as fairly good looking, fairly witty, fairly smart, ambitious and athletic guy, hit?

They also happen to be high school friends and have shared history and proximity.

What is wrong with Ian? He is a very flexible as main character and tbt his story side is better than Lena's.

They didn't go to highschool together. Wade met Cindy at college and that's when they started dating. Ian and the group met Cindy through Wade as he would always bring her along for their hangouts.

I stand corrected.

Still, there's proximity since he's not a total stranger

Cindy fine as fuck and I wonder what's gonna happen if your fucking all the girls, like catfight inc? Or a harem route? Or is Eva gonna force the player to choose. And can't wait to see how the mansion party plays out.

Doubtful, since Cindy's romance already conflicts with other routes that just end if you want to keep going with her. On the casual route I don't think she cares enough about Ian to get catty for his sake, since on that route she'll be getting with Axel as well. So either Ian is only with her or they aren't invested emotionally in each other.
That said you are able to have some flings on the romance, Minerva, Cherry and slut Holly for example. I would assume that these will be resolved eventually rather than lead to physical confrontations.

There are already breakups if Ian goes for multiple girls, so usually the player is forced to choose, if not even losing automatically for the consequences of their actions. Harem is too unrealistic for this grounded game. Catfight may be possible, but even then they just turn towards Ian and blame him and either leave in disgust or demand that he sorts it out, since he stringed them along.

While we wait for the full update to drop... Can anyone recommend similar games like ORS, GGGB and Fashion Business?
With a female protagonist and corruption. Basically more hoemaxing games, or similar. Thank you.

It's against the rules to ask for the recommendations in the game thread, better to ask here:

I don't like him as the protagonist tho, he feels like a side character but dunno maybe I'm being biased because I'm a girl. Still even someone like Wade feels more like a main character design than Ian

So the MC needs to be unshaven and have a pot belly?

Be honest with yourself, it's because Ian isn't tall enough to be protagonist.

She could've had a massive body count for all we know, and I guess Holly's slut path should be criticized because she did become a slut way too easily I guess. Its not bad per se, but yeah we can say without any doubt that it could've gone better.

The slut Holly path is not quite as far out as you seem to think. It becomes pretty clear over the run of the game that Holly wants to have a chance with Ian whatever it takes. Depending on how we play Ian Holly makes the either partly wrong or right assumption that Ian prefers slutty girls.
It becomes pretty obvious by dialog if Ian and wild Holly get it on during the getaway and at the end of Ian´s ch.13, that Holly went this way to finally get her chance with Ian. If Ian and wild Holly now get into a relationship I doubt she´ll continue on the slut path like this. Getting Ian was her goal, she made it and so her slut days would be over, unless Ian really likes his girls full slutty.

Rolling the romance paths in with each other seems inevitable, if for no other reason than ease of development.

That said, Holly/Ian could have divergent paths for a while where the old route, the Ian/Holly romance from the bookfair, could perhaps be allowed to "catch up" if Ian and her were to get some options to explore sexual encounters with other people for example. So I could perhaps see Eva veering a version of her old route off into a sluttier direction, if chosen by the player, which will then intersect with the Slut Holly romance, if the player sticks with it, at some point. So Ian could have a more wholesome romance with Holly or a more slutty one in the same vein as Ian/Alison sharing or Ian/Emma open relationship.

That is a pretty convincing theory, given we have the option on the fully romantic Ian/Holly path to keep going on or encourage Holly to get out of her shell more. It could certainly be a path branching off with one being encouraged Holly "just" becoming more bold and self-assured (see the getaway where encouraged Holly wears the sexier bikini) and another converging with the slutty Holly romance.

I know Lena won't tolerate Ian and Cherry's romance and it will lead to a breakup. What about the rest of Cindy and Emma?

You managed to confuse me further which is an impressive feat

How is the pothead with a potbelly who's allergic to change a better main character 'design'?

Like i said, he's taller.

Slightly more seriously, it's not the first poster who makes that complaint, and that seems to align mostly with Ian's kind of "non-threatening average guy" image/energy which, to be fair, isn't that common as far as romance protagonists go.
