This "the male character is a happy moron" trope has to end. CJ is more annoying than (I assume) the intended goal of lovable comic relief. It makes the harem aspect completely unbelievable, even if it is fantasy. You play as CJ for the first part of the game, then flip to Jamie? I didn't get any further than that as CJ was too stupid for me to enjoy the game any further.
There is a vast difference between clueless thick head (the typical Japanese anime approach) and a moron.
I wish the author luck, but I'll be moving on.

You got 35 minutes into a 30 hour game (Literally 15 seconds after the title first shows up) and got so asshurt by the lack of power fantasy that you decided to make some big sweeping statement like "This 'the male character is a happy moron' trope has to end." when you're the guy with a private profile unable to take a joke.
I hope you do. Please go back to My Second Family.

Personally, it's one of my favorite things about OoT. CJ becomes a brain-dead harem protagonist as a coping mechanism from his past trauma. As someone who hates the harem genre, that strikes a perfect note. Aside from that, CJ's character and the way it's constructed has a lot of interesting play when contrasted with the various characters and their dilemmas. There's weight when he acts with forbearance, there's the charm of him cutting to the heart of matters in simple and affecting ways, and there's an intelligent contrast with his younger, more sensitive self.
This game does a lot of interesting, thoughtful things with the trope of idiotic harem protagonist in my opinion and it sounds like you didn't get very far into it to see them. Which is fair, not every game can resonate with any given person, but I would probably not go announcing my decision to drop a game as if it's some sort of revelation.
On the contrary it's one of only games where it's somewhat believable and not just random girls throwing themselves at mc at first sight.

That, and the MC's intelligence grows steadily through the chapters. He's actually reasonably bright by the 30s. The reason why hasn't been explained yet, but it's clearly deliberate.
I am inclined to believe that CJ has never been stupid. He just has a different type of emotional intelligence. And he is bearing the burden of multiple individuals while enduring the traumatic experiences from their adventures. So I do not disagree with you, I just believe it is more "acceptance" than "growing intelligence". To be fair, he has guidance in form of several other characters at the same time.

Emotional intelligence is a concept invented by smart people to sell shit to dumb people.
No question that he's very empathetic and really, really good with people. But that's not an IQ thing. His actual brainpower is definitely on the climb. I think it's a function of his shard healing or absorbing bonds or some other supernatural fuckery <waves hands>

I hate to break any illusions you had about your own reading comprehension, but OoT is in unity not Ren'Py.Yep - just removing this Ren’py trash.
Friendly tip you can tell by the giant UNITY label at the top of the page
If anything, I get the feeling that this current art is when CJ's coping mechanism starts to really unravel.
Why did you tell them? It was supposed to be a surprise.I hate to break any illusions you had about your own reading comprehension, but OoT is in unity not Ren'Py.

My thought would be either Ashley or Sarah if we go by personality.
But Vic is also a very good option

There has been a decent bit of back-door roughhousing in the patreon custom requests on discord if you're really hurting for it, but as they said those renders are just not explicitly canon yet.

Jamie, although that may be 50% wishful thinking.
Although It'll be inevitable if the 10k femboy patch goal is ever reached.

Why is that a goal? Did a bunch a bunch of people beg and plead for it? For Christ sakes leave Jamie alone and go find another vn with the femboy tag.

It was a joke initially, but then Anon thought about it and realized it wouldn't be that hard to implement as an optional patch.
And at the 10k USD a month barrier he never thinks he's ever going to hit it.
