So I'm starting this game for the first time, having just heard of it. (Though I did play Melody so I'm not sure why I didn't find out about it then.) Only in chapter 1 week 2 and have just a single Task completed on the way to 1 star. Enjoying it so far, do wish it was a harem though.
One criticism of the story, when the MC speaks with Ashley alone the first time, she also brushes off his attempts to find out about what happened between her and his father, like he did. The MC is like, "well thats personal between you two, I don't want to intrude" or whatever, and that is fine for dealing with his father. But Ashley made the choice to go no contact with MC and his father, for both herself and her daughter. I wish the MC was given the choice to press her on what was so bad between the two of THEM that she had to sever the relationship between her daughter and the MC.
I think I see hints of some background plot that involves some secret of the town, something about Ashley & MC's Dad's relationship, and maybe even why the hotel was women only. I dunno, its all loose threads now and I'm just seeing possibilities. But I do hope that when all that background is revealed, there is some justification as to why she forcibly estranged the two kids, and that the MC gets some choices on how to react and doesn't automatically forgive and forget.
Why am I posting what is now a moot point on a completed game thread? I just get annoyed when AVNs claim relationship choices but the dev still favors some LIs and doesn't give the MC agency in interactions with them. Not saying thats happening here (yet) but was really unsatisfied with that convo with Ashley.
