I am enjoying how the MC/Bella relationship is evolving.

Bella and the MC agree to a relationship with no commitment to each other - no strings attached. (...) however, that there Are already strings attached...
I think in this relationship the MC and Bella mutually healing each other, both by conscious and unconscious level. Ther are several conversation between them, but their dynamics and meanings change significantly over time. This so-called no strings attached relationship is obviously strings attached, even if they don't even admit it to themselves at the moment.

I have no skin in this game - I don't mind either versions of her. My only comment is that - all things being equal - the render quality is significantly better now.
I don't think anyone is arguing that. I think the point of contention is where she looks more normal/attractive.

Personally I think the old/original model of Mila was actually attractive. The new one looks like she could have a seat at this table:

With all the hoo-ha about Mila in recent days, this post is to show people Mila from various versions of the game, so they can judge the arguments either way for themselves.

I think the relationship between Nika and Bella will crack in a short time. The first igniter of this may be Nika's lack of hardening, but I think the main reason will be jealousy. There is a growing closeness between Nika and Zara, and of course, depending on the options, Zara has already started to fall in love with Nika. We know how competitive she is, conflict with Bella seems inevitable. In addition, both Bella and Nika already have an ultimatum. Bella warned not to lose my trust. Nika, on the other hand, made it clear at the book meeting that if Bella creates a childish drama, we're done.

If I know Ocean, he's already got a relationship drama ready. :D

I guess that's obvious indeed if you're playing a manwhore route in game without harem :BootyTime:

Manwhore route? Mai boi can't even get his pp hard. What are you talking about?
I also don't think Bella is that possessive. We will see.
Does it really matter at this moment? I'm talking about pursuing multiple girls in one playthrough, which will surely backfire in future, unless it's some compatible with each other route that we saw in that "possible LIs and routes" list. But even in that case I think we'll get enough drama.

I'm with you so far, but I personally don't think they're the top favorites.
- Vanessa, the MC can hold her own (indication: the scene in her bedroom where he counters her) She speaks to the MC on a completely different level
- Victoria, she has a heart of gold and speaks to him in a romantic way
- and don't forget Nami, she's ready to give it her all. She loves him more than anything
- and finally the great unknown: WHAT IF -> SUMMER???

and considering that, half the school (female students) is after him :cool:

It looks like Ocean will block the MC successfully pursuing too many simultaneous LIs - based on his past musings on the subject and what's already happening in the game re: Vic/Mila, Bella/Mila, and Bella/Vic.

I'm concerned there's too many main girls in this game. I don't think Vic even showed up in this update, or Maja, and some girls that showed up only had small parts like Mila. I feel like at some point we will get chapters excluding girls as the relationships get more in depth, so if you have a favorite you might not get new content with them for 2 years because of the dev cycle.

I like how in BAD all the main girls/paths have quite a bit of content in each update. Just seems to me like there's just too many for him to keep up with every update as well as progressing the story. Hope I end up wrong though.

Mila/Nami :(
Just look at Nami's face at the end of CH5, while you're kissing Mila in forehead. Depends on whether you kissed Nami at the end of 4x5 or not.

This update was underwhelming. Kind of short and not much happened. Hopefully the upcoming update of Where it all began will be better.

If I remember correctly, in a playthrough where I was only going after Bella and invited Mila out as friends, she forcefully kissed my MC if he chose to take a walk with her at Vic's. And if I remember correctly, this only happens if you chose Bella , friendzoned Mila but went out on a walk with her, might need somebody else to confirm this.

Did you reject Bella, Nami and Nia?

All 3 had content and rejecting one or more would definitely shorten the release's playing time.

Regardless of choices, though, we still get the book club meeting - which was great, IMO, as well as the infestation and the Zara/Mila time that followed.

What were you expecting that you did not get?

Cheers!! :coffee:
