Hmmm, ratings/rankings. Difficult. Of the as of now confirmed or probable LIs/friends with benefits
1) Becca
2) Lil
3) Meiko
4) Abby
5) Madison
6) Beth
1 and 2 was the only close decision. Lil was the more rewarding storyline, having to overcome her initial hostility. And if it had lingered just a little bit more, she might have jumped to 1. Yes, the sudden explosion was great as well. Becca is just interesting as the scheming - no, not wingwoman, you're the wingman to her family fuckfest plans. Regardless of the obviously arising questions of player agency that is interesting. Also, by her looks she is, especially pre lost bet haircut, ahead of the others.
Unlike many others I think Meiko's new haircut suits her. She's an interesting take on the innocent/shy trope, being socially awkward but not entirely clueless. There's also the question of whether she's in it for MC for himself or just as the lesser of a number of evils.
Abby is the more classic innocent/shy approach "huh, I don't know anything", at least in the beginning. How much of her later behavior is down to this age-inappropriate "innocence" and how much is applying what Becca rubbed off on her in terms of scheming over the years is an interesting question, so she is definitely better than average compared to other similar characters from other games. However, she is still a bit over the top and I don't find this behavior that endearing, also despite being a Disciple of the Ginger myself, somehow her looks don't do it for me and she is overly shilled by the internal monologues - unlike her sisters who MC sometimes thinks of critically she can do no wrong which I sometimes find grating.
Madison is a blank slate. Looks are good, face is a bit strange, introduction a bit sudden, not much to say right now.
The whole Beth/Vanessa storyline hasn't really connected with me and also doesn't gel that much with the main story. I get that bi characters are a bit hard but since she is more an outsider to MC's world than the others also magic dick phenomenon sets in which is always kind of a minus.
