In his VN player does not have any major influence on the plot. He can change little things like in the case of a game of chase with Abby but nothing major and girls (aside from Beth) are not skippable.
To be clear I am Ok with this, I love this actually, but I can understand why other players that are used to other VNs where they can have a bigger impact on the plot are not happy with this game, but if they don't like it I am kinda confused why they still playing in Single Agioan then. When I don't like VN I just stop playing and that's it.
It also depends on what you are being asked.
If you are asked what you think and automatically assume that your answer will decide the taste of some other character, that is borderline stupid, in my opinion, as it renders those characters mindless zombies.
If you put an arm in the hand of a player and point the gun to the head of some character and then ask the player whether to shoot or apologize and fall in love, they choose to shoot and then you make it so that they dont shoot and love the character regardless, I can understand the player being annoyed about it. Why give me a choice that is trivial?
The difference was that in the first part it was the player that assumed they would have a control over it, while in the second it was very crafted to hint the player they are making that decision.
Still don't see how your daughter asking you whether you are ok she is bi not implying she will choose to like dicks or pussy only according to daddy's decision as something "the developer trick us", though
