Seeing Sasha and Bella (+MC) together in a triangle would be quite the spectacle. Sasha brings calm and orderliness, while Bella adds a fiery, no-nonsense attitude to the mix 
- Thread starter 7767

Imo Sasha's appeal at the moment is exactly that she is somewhat mysterios (and beautiful of course).I think preferences are overrated considering there is not enough screen time for options other than Bella and Nami. Zara and Nia became far more interesting than they were once they got screen time. Sasha's effect is partially because she's so serious and strict, while also being quite gentle and caring when she forgets to be strict and distant.
People love distant LI's it's the unrequited lust thing, drives people to overcome the distance.
Personally I like her personality the most of the main LI's so far, but once we start seeing development, I'll fall for whoever's on screen telling an emotional story
She stern and classy, has high expectations on herself and the people around her but she seems to care too, obviously about Robin but about Nika apparently too always watching him from a distance.
The bookclub made it evident that Sasha knows more about Nika and Nami than was shown so far, same to Robin.
Sasha seems to be involved in a lot of things, is obviously intelligent and able to communicate very precise and on point which is probably a petrova-family-sign.
Due to her mother (and maybe herself uhuh) she is connected to the Zane's which makes her (for some) even more interresting.
She is opinionated, strong-willed and doesnt shy away from a discussion with Nika or anyone else. And her not throwing herself at Nika right away makes her interresting too imo.

nope you aren't to me she is overrated simply because I feel alot of people like her more for her looks at this point. As I cannot include her on any LI list right now because to me she is all looks and nothing else till we get some development. With that being said the little we have seen I do like. She is mysterious and seems like she might genuinely be nicer and a better person than any LI right now even more than sweet Victoria.

Your description fit on Sonya perfectly. So I guess, that you wanted to write, that you "actually like Sonya" and farm likes from Sashians at same time.I actually like Sasha.
She is Very shy and is being brought up under very strict rules but her willingness to come to the first gaming session was a great way for her to show that she wants more from the life others are planning for her.
I don't see Ocean as trolling us with that comment - more teasing us.
We'll get more Sasha content in S2 and, like Zara after the events in S1, post handcuffing the MC in the girl's locker room, I think she will become a more meaningful LI for the MC.
Cheers!!
Clever.

There are much worse dudes who still haven't put on ignore trolls and haters and even respond to them, resulting in others receiving false notifications. This is probably the only thing about this thread that causes a butthurt to me.
But yes, seriously, I think that many of them like this game, but they are just enraged that the dev is making the game in the way he thinks is right and does not pay any attention to their invaluable and very important ideas. Some people expected something from the game that the dev never promised to give them, but they still feel betrayed and hurt and continue to complain about it in the thread. I don't understand the point of repeating this day after day, but if they get their relief from it, well, I respect others kinks.
Of course, there are also genuine trolls who simply enjoy stirring up shit, provoking and insulting others. But there is nothing unusual here; they are in the thread of any popular game.
It's only imho, but I'm sure there are also alternative accounts from competing devs in this thread. It seemed ridiculous to me and I naively thought that dev should support and help each other. But over time, I was surprised to discover that there is also quite strong competition among them (at least between some of them) and some guys are simply jealous of others. Even here, at the Zone, on the first page of a game you can sometimes find a comment from the site stuff that its developer is cheating to increase their game’s rating. It's hilarious, but it is what it is.
Well, and don’t forget about extremely nervous or even unstable dudes who stick to any popular community and project their delirium onto others.
Just do yourself a favor and ignore anyone who annoys you or tries to ruin your fun. There are thousands of users online on the site every day, and if you ignore a few hundred of disturbing persons, you will not lose anything, but your experience here will be much more pleasant.

because he is a fool who knows nothing and most of what he writes is complete shit whose purpose is nothing more than to cause an argument in the whole thread
he wants you to answer him and he wants you to argue. he enjoys it

If your words turn out to be true, then this will be very good news. The main thing is that the plot begins to develop, and does not stand still.

well he better have a plot. this Adult Visual Novel doesn't have any adult scenes in it and the lewd scenes were all removed so this game is just a mediocre AVN might as well play doki doki literature club.

You know there are other things to enjoy from a AVN than lewds and story. The characters so far are really well done and it's my main reason for playing this game. Could careless if we never get lewds or if the story ends up being good or bad as long as the characters don't suffer. Sure some need more love but what is there I think is good.
Edit : I get it tho if you are mostly interested in the story as some care for story more than others. i'm just saying character / relationship building is also a big important part of any AVN
wow now i understand how some people eat shit and call it chocolate cake. my guy all the things you find interesting in those characters has to pay off in a STORY or else you are just spinning your wheels on pretty renders that does nothing without a good structure to convey a good story. in the end the characters will be wasted and suffer without a plot and story.

I began my description with shy but, perhaps aloof is the better word here. (She could be an introvert and she appears to be aloof/shy due to this aspect of her character). She is also clearly embarrassed about men/their intentions and, it seems that she has some reason to want to keep men at arm's length.
She's been sheltered, perhaps because of a failed attempt to kidnap/harm her (we don't know if Sasha's wound was incurred in the same kind of event that resulted in Bella's sister to be in a coma or for Summer to have disappeared).
I do need to correct my original post - she was not at the tabletop event, but rather the book club gathering.
She has her Aunt as a bodyguard at the book club gathering and, for all we know, there is/are undercover bodyguards attending ZPR, in place to help keep her safe.
We don't know how long she has been protected in this fashion but her exposure to the world seems to be controlled and influenced by her family, which helps create a bit of a hands-off vibe from her (setting aside the bodyguard aspect).
She shows empathy to the MC when she finds him starting to have a panic attack on the balcony overlooking the book club gathering and in my playthrough, she helps him with a drug (which also tells me that she carries said drug for panic attacks, likely her own - nightmares from her own physical attack perhaps??).
She is careful about what she reveals about herself and yet she risked this reveal to do a good thing for the MC.
I think Ocean will show us a bit more of Sasha's story in the coming day(s) - we are sparring with Ayua on the following day - what I take for S2 CH 1. Sasha and Ayua are also sparring partners so perhaps this sparring event will have a bit of an audience.
Beyond that, Ocean does a great job revealing layers of life's experiences that provide us a better framework for 'why' some of the LI's are the way they are now (think about what Bella shared about how Zara was treated by her mom or how Bella was bullied in middle school by Melanie Ceril and her clique).
I believe that these reveals are critical for the MC to better understand the women he is spending time with and those who are/may become LIs.
Cheers!!

eh I don't agree really entirely it depends on the kind of AVN we are talking about. Sure story is important to some AVN's and some it isn't. You can have good character building / relationship building without much story at all. I find many slice of life AVN's can pull this off. So far in this AVN I have found the character building with a character like Bella great with little to no story so far , as it feels like this game's story is gonna be a slow burn story. Sure there are story elements that does help her character building but then you have characters like Nami and Zara where they arent really involved in the plot yet but have decent character building. So I cant really say story is essential to character building but it does help when done right. That's all I was trying to say character building can be more important than the story depending on what you enjoy in your games

Death To The Team BellaBella is a rank higher than Sasha, so Ocean must retract his opinion or we riot ...
damn all it takes for you to like a character is sappy backstory then. so far all those characters background mean nothing because the MC is the driver of the story and how he reacts to them and imo he is a weak protagonist in a plotless AVN.

Well I play disconnected from MC's in basically every AVN so it's far easier for me to get attached to characters I think. As I only want to get to know them, backstory , personality and all
of course lots of romantic hand holding and head pets
