In playing Season 1, I consciously decided to NOT invite Misty (Spider-Girl) back to the Ninja Village. For all of Season 1, the Stats display had one empty portrait space: the final one on the second page. When I loaded into Season 2, 1a, I found that same empty portrait space was filled with Misty's picture and she appeared in the shower (what happened to the bathing pool?) with Tamara's older sister, Hailey, in company. While the MC could have stuck around and interacted with Hailey and Misty, I opted out of the interaction on the grounds that Mysty shouldn't have been there.
Why are we given choices if the Dev refuses to honor those choices? In my playthrough, the MC decided against inviting Misty to the Village, why am I being forced to have her in the Village now? How did Misty get to the village? Who invited her? Is she a Ninja? Why can't the MC get some alone time with Hailey? What about Yumi? Whatever happened to that cute little Nixie who hasn't been seen since the MC "gave her energy" about 3/8's of the way through the first season? Nixie owes the MC, big time, not that it's reflected in her stats. She should be "owned" by the MC as a pet dog is owned by it's Master. Instead, we get people turning up in the village with no reason or justification and someone who should be at the MC's beck and call is nowhere to be seen.
Season 2, 1a, finds the Ninja Village in a wary state due to the fears of it being soon attacked. After all, the MC is dropped in belt-rank for having left the village with Keres Annie and Yumi due to the threat of an attack on the Village which the MC ignored. Yet, upon the wayward trio's return to the village, everything stops to hold a previously unannounced tournament! So, the danger to the Village is sufficient to warrant penalizing people who leave the village, but not such a danger that they can expend their energy taking part ina meaningless tournament. Had an attack occurred during the night following the tournament, who had the energy to defend the Village? In addition, the day following the Tournament, we see the MC and Tamara accepting new jobs for the Ninja Village. How can the Village accept new missions if no one can leave the Village due to the threat of an attack? I think the Dev needs to acquire an editor to maintain consistent story-lines and clean up the language usage/grammar within the dialogues.
