For example: You could notice that at the time Vanessa was not supposed to have a heterochromia but green eyes as William Zane's new concept was not yet decided

Naah.
If you look closely, Vanessa already has heterochromia.

Spoiler: Eyes

And I have to agree with Lady Fortuna

I also don't get the hate Summer receives. (Besides being a little pushy and wanting to fight the MC (excuse for body contact?)

And while she is a little rebellious, I don't think she did anything bad yet.
Future flashbacks will shine a bit more light on the entire matter. (There was some foreshadowing in Ch4.5)

But I do get why some people want Summer to stay away.


Let's see what happens

Very small heterochromia unlike today, for sure

looks like boobs are not the only thing that's getting bigger with the rework

Same thing with Zoey from BaDik but after EP 9 she gained a lot of fans

Now the question is when Summer came back

The answer would be

 

[BeingADikDik]

If harem, then bring Summer back and add her to the orgy pile.
If not harem, then Summer represents a threat to main LI. No bueno. Summer must die to protect (insert best girl).

 

[Jumbi]

Yeah. I suppose I must be in the minority as to what I think, but I particularly find the intense contrast between the color of her eyes unattractive, rather the opposite. Add that to her cunning and the result is that I find her to be the less desirable of the girls.

For harem wait "BTW" in like 2030-2040

Ewww no! I actually started hating her even more in the new ep because she is shoved upon us. I wanted that tumor out of my MC's life for good but she keeps growing back. the only reason she isn't my most hated character in that game is because the goblin exists.

Ocean's post really does disappoint me though. I get the feeling that the only thing I didn't want to happen in Summer's Not Really Gone I Guess is inevitable

 

[BobTheDuck]

I can see your point but ultimately I entirely and respectfully disagree. Maybe I'm being a little harsh but she put me off from the very start with how she speaks and treats others. Not only with how she speaks to MC but to Elsa and Nami too. I'm not saying the MC is any better but the very first scene of the game has them pitting animals against each other. Whatever symbolism lies behind that scene it's still off putting imo. She is rude, rash and prone to violence when she is entirely in the wrong. If my child ever acts like that, I failed as a parent. There is nothing "sweet" about Summer, in my perspective. But to each their own.

EDIT: Nami hates her because she literally dumped her for the MC. She says so herself. She stopped spending time with Nami to hang out with the MC which drove Nami even farther apart from MC as well. There is no indication she ever tried an olive branch. She instead calls Nami stupid for being upset at her dumping her best friend. Also they are around 13 years old. Not 5. Not 8. They are teens.

Keep in mind the intro sequence is Nika's dream/flashback, which has warped reality rules that fit his mental state of trauma, rather than being a bit of exact history. THe flowers and the creepy nature of the spiders are a clue that not everything is normal.

Everything in that dream reflects Nika's understanding of what happened, rather than being facts; it is what he witnessed and how he perceived the dynamic between Summer and Nami. And in effect he's talking to the part of himself that tries to understand what happened to Summer that day, not Summer herself, as you can tell at the end of the scene. The other flashbacks seem far more ordinary/approriate to the age they were.

My theory is that Ocean potentially might want to tell the events of Summer's side of the story as a separate novel. Maybe Summer will have a cameo returning here, maybe she will indeed appear. Currently her presence is stronger and she has more effect via absence and shadowing. I think those things really depend on Ocean's vision for the metanarrative of the series, rather than a cheap jump scare for the LI's.

I'm sure I wasn't the 1st who doesn't care for Summer although I don't hate her as of yet, any implied dislike is only in effect if/when she returns. I just feel, as I've stated, I didn't get enough info / personal history from her *early* enough, as in if she was meant to be as important or moreso than all the current LI's I needed to feel more attached to her Before the plethora of hotties that MC is now surrounded by on the daily, she's got nothing to emotionally compete with against the others except mc's refusal to try and move on.

I DO however feel she is an important plot device to maintain an almost constant source of intrigue but I also agree with those who've said she serves better being absent ...but that's only my opinion bc I don't want mc to disregard any of his currently developing relations to get re absorbed into her.

 

[Kokodeska]

so where is the next release??? is there a cuddle between mc and bella and i love long make out session dev please include it in next update.

 

[Deleted member 5744918]

I would love for Summer to make an appearance after the MC is dating his LI choice.
Now before someone says "Waah no forcing her on me!!", she could be more of just a plot stooge.
Maybe she turned out in a way that MC wouldn't like or she has a boyfriend now.
I just want it for the sheer drama. Plus I like her feisty nature.
I'm sure if she looked hot enough and was feisty, folks would be like "OMG Summer best girl!"
But yeah, imagine Bella and Summer meeting...or the Nami and Summer re-union.
It opens up a real powder keg

You're in the minority still hating Zoey for 'reasons', then.

Also, that's kind of a 'control freak' attitude you got there, that's his story, deal with it.

I know I can't wait to see what's next, and whatever happened to Summer, next session with Amber, at the cabin, will definitely shed light on all that.

 

[Sasanid]

How did you guys read Nami name? Everytime I read her name I alway thought of Nami from One Piece. Is it read as Nae-mi , Nar-mee or else?

It's normal that her name is inspired by One Piece as well as Nojiko, Nami's older sister, and Nika for the default name of the MC
