So, we've still got a few girls to have their time to shine. Removing everyone seen so far, we have these left:
Next chapter we'll see:
Victoria
Maja
After that, these fine ladies still need some screen time. These we know roughly what's coming:
Nia (Saturday visit, most likely with the cheeto)
Marla (visit Amber with her)
Ayua (future sparring scene)
Sasha (Yoga class)
And these we don't:
Sonya
Nadia
What's everyone looking forward to? Personally looking forward to seeing what Ocean does with Nia. She's quite a feisty one but I reckon once you get past her first impressions she'll probably be quite sweet.

Obiviously want to see Sasha (let's hope chapter 6 is for her) Also excited for some Mila and Maja content.
The latest chapter also got me curious about Zara but that's going to take a while
And I want to know how does it go with Bella but again that's going to be sometime in the future.

Personally I'm interested only in Maja, Mila and Sasha right now. I'm not sure about Vic, she's just TOO sweet for me, not my type (maybe next update will change my opinion about her). I'd prefer girl that can scare the shit out of me with only one glare or crack my neck if I'll say something wrong (shout-out to dear Bella)

For me? The real Victoria, no that fake smiley Victoria from the firsts chapters and Sasha's background, I want to know more about her, Oceans said that she is his favourite, but right now is only a pretty face and that's all, not enough in a game full of pretty girls. Is she enigmatic? Yeah, but we don't know a shit about half of the girls, everyone is enigmatic.

I'll probably do a playthrough for each of the main LI's. Storywise though, i can see Sasha, Bella and Sonya having great character development in the coming chapters.

Not the biggest fan of Victoria and her being that cheery smiley always happy character is the main reason. She's in a wheelchair recently because she simply just wasn't paying attention to traffic and for most people that would be a depression trigger right there. I swear if Ocean gives us some "I'm just such a positive person in general tee hee" justification she's gonna sink even lower on my LI ranking. I need a freaking miserable tear-jerking "hiding my pain" story or I'm gonna riot.
I think it's crystal clear that she's gonna start walking again at some point but before then she needs a proper character arc.

She does smile a lot and has that positive attitude, but i think that's just a coping mechanism.
Still it's pretty weird she is that happy about everything that happened to her

Is a coping mechanism, 100% sure. She may have been a happy and optimistic girl before, but after the accident and with the real posibility of been in a wheelchair the rest of her life? No fucking way. In the future maybe, just after the run over no, she needs time to process the situation, and I'm talking about months and a lot of psychological help. And Maja too, the accident doesn't destroyed one life, destroyed three: Maja's independence, Victoria's legs and future and of course, Marla, because accident or not she's the culprit.

Definitely. And there's no hint of that yet. I actively tried to avoid interactions with her because the whole cheery persona seems so fake at this moment. I hope the next update will manage to make her more relatable.
I'm curious to find out the reason for Maja even existing. I wonder what her role is in this story. I mean in my opinion she's one of the hottest LIs in the game but I can't figure out her purpose yet, other than "another hot blonde for the list".
Also, the thing about feeling guilty about a traffic accident. Totally true. Sounds pathetic but on my very first drive after getting my license I ran over a squirrel on the street. I wasn't aware that you could feel bones breaking and cartilage crunching through a whole car before that. That was like 15 years ago and I still feel guilty about it.
I know people like that IRL. They are in total denial, all cheery in a bad situation, until time has run out, and they must face the ugly reality, at which point they completely fall apart.
Exactly like Vici in the game, when it was time for her to start the actual rehab work. Only IRL it can be even more dramatic.

Someone has to move Victoria around if you don't want her to get Hulk hands

I might look too much into it but there could be a serious mental disorder behind that.
I've seen it first hand; some traumatic event etc. happens but you refuse to deal with it and keep going like nothing happened.
Obviously Victoria can't go on exactly like nothing happened, (I mean she is in a damn wheelchair) but she might not be dealing with that fact mentally.
Again, I might just be looking too deep into it.

Absolutely OK with you... but I need to see/know what happen next and not rework each episode 3 times before getting the next one

I don't know Oceans writing style well enough yet to judge if he would do something like that. But it would certainly be interesting if he actually had the balls to. Would also invalidate any doubt I have about her character. We'll find out in the next update I guess.I might look too much into it but there could be a serious mental disorder behind that.

Quoting this just because I love the "hulk hands" part. That would be a perfect point in time to start learning to resculpt models.
Yea, just about the only point of critique I can muster on this game. This damn wait and him being so distracted that he needs multiple side gigs at all times.
It would be an interesting story arc, if Ayua during the sparring session would mention something like this: "Well, having now seen you more up close, I have to say you and Nami have some real resemblance to my siblings xx and xy. Actually my cousins, but since we all live at the same place, we grew up together like siblings.
When I mentioned having met you and how similar you look to xx and xy, my parents and Aunt Leia said, they would like to see for themselves some day. Want to come over next weekend or so? Maybe Bella might come as well?" Or something of that kind (English is not my mothertongue, so it can be more elegant than this off the cuff arc entrance)
It could be the start of a story yrc like the MC and Nami´s family got into the crossfire not because they had anything to do with it, but the kids had some resemblance to the kids of Willi and Leia.

Victoria's role is to be the exact opposite of the mc.
He spends his whole life brooding and being depressed, yet he has everything. A loving family, decent money, a sport career.
Victoria compared to him has nothing, only Maja, but she goes around smiling and being cheerful.
Imo Victoria will play an important part in mc's recovery, but I fear the catalyst may be when she'll inevitably break down and it'll be up to the mc to restore her.

Huh? both his parents died when he was a kid, and he would've been orphaned if not for Nojiko taking him in. She's the sole provider for the family and money is pretty tight: even before the therapy they weren't exactly well off. He has to get a sports scholarship thing just to pay the bills.
Even if you leave aside the Summer thing, he didn't exactly have a normal childhood because of his... let's say emotional disability.
Still, I guess I can see that.
