Thanks for your clarification. Can't state enough that we are new to F95, so are learning all of the tags and their implications - so thank you truly for helping us understand what they mean to the users.
On the last point, we plan for the LIs to be exclusive to the MC. The theme of our AVN is a sexual romance, if that helps to clarify what the story will be like. There is free roam, in which there will be opportunities in which to advance or add flavour to the main story, which can include both main and side characters (who are not active LIs/ending paths), but are ways to explore fun situations and kinks or just enjoy bonus content - if you wish to interact with them - but you don't have to. Hope that helps
Thanks again,
Lady Ape
