You can't rename CJ as it'd ruin several of the best moments in the game.
You've currently got impregnation, and you see the belly, pregnancy sex is pretty likely atsome point later in the game.

Theres also the fact that it syncs up perfectly with the song "Still Life" that was used in the soundtrack. The forethought and foreshadowing is very well done.
Take it as a book, the few options at the beginning are just so you can skip (miss would be more accurate, but let's say skip) some scenes, but romances will happen no matter what you choose, and at some point the options about whether you want to romance someone or not will disappear entirely.
Think of this as a book, take the choices with the symbol on it so you see all the content and just keep reading. The characters grow throughout the story, so you may like her later (or not, that's up to you).
A little tip for you and any new players who might read this, the story starts off really silly and that puts some people off, but by the point of the current version the story gets so deep that it makes your head hurt, everything ends up having a reason. So if you like deep (and sometimes very confusing) lore and worldbuilding, keep going.
This one is a visual novel with sex, not a sex visual novel.
Yeah, quite a few people are meh to downright unlikable at the beginning of the story. Most if not all will grow on you. Leah being my worst to first girl fits this mold to a T.

I managed to catch up, and yeah, kind of pointless to even like/dislike anyone in most of the early arcs.
That being said, my top characters haven't really changed from the start: Mizue, the fox, Kieran and Sarah. Which I guess makes it only two top characters.
My most disliked are Victoria and Leah (not that I hate them, mind you). Although I do have to grant that Leah at least is willing to actually kill people (which I think this game severely lacks - although I suppose that's one of the points). I also have had a lot of problems with the fatalistic turns throughout, but that also becomes pointless when the entire story is about fatalism - won't be a problem in a replay I guess.
Overall, yep, thanks to everyone that just told me to keep playing. Even though there are quite a few lows to me, the numbers of highs was amazing. Well done indeed.

To be able to read the story so far in one go and remembering everything without replaying...
I just rudimentarely remember what happened in the second last update and the story became quit foggy for me.
I really hope we get a recap feature some day.

What do you count/what is seen, as a volume?Wdym? the games already got recaps at the end of each Volume.
What i'd like would be something aking to the gallery, just, as recaps.

I can recap kind of:
In all seriousness though, I think the story is kind of simple if you take out the revelation arcs.
Also, the third recap is totally based on the Lessons in Love intro to the point where I kept wondering if people unfamiliar with it would even understand it (I personally enjoyed more the hardboiled one).

I think you may have missed the joke.
Theres literal recaps in the game, but they're entirely comedic and dont catch you up on the story at all. One of them is a noir crime investigation, for example.

Yeah that "Making fun of Lil" part i remember and it was funny. Espacially if you know that Oot and Lil once had some cross promotion thing going on.I can recap kind of:

I also remember the rough corners of Oot's story but some details are missing and i need clarification.
Like, i can't really remember all of Ashley's relatives, what their story was "exactly".
I kinda confuse them even with the new girls that Hayato (what was his name?) introduced recently.
Another example (though a bit more entangled) is how Cro and Sarah had this talk in their dreamworld and Cro was like:
"CJ made us(?), im his left your his right hand..." whatever, but Cro never mentioned that Sarah was a part of her.
It got very confusing.
So, "Recap Feature".

To my defense, it wasn't that obvious that it was meant as a joke.
Had this discussion some time ago already and someone mentioned the "ingame recaps".
Totally forgot back then that they exist, but are more comedy then anything else: "she was ahegao'd to death".
But again, im talking about an option in the menu, for recaps.

I'm surprised you understood so much in a single playthrough. People usually come here asking for explanations after certain arcs, especially Teresa's and the last one, since many had a hard time understanding Cro's situation. It is usually necessary to replay the arcs to understand most things, since most of the information needed to understand the beginning of the arc is provided at the end of it (or in another arc).

Coming from the LiL thread, Oot is pretty straightforward. Although I do have lots of questions obviously, I think I get the general gist of things.
Playing it all in two/three days certainly helped memory wise too. LiL would have taken at least a month and a half.
Oh, how is the release schedule btw? I could probably search for it, but in some cases it changes so much I'd rather have an up to date answer.
