I didn't like that either. I get that it's the demon possession thing or whatever, but I dislike that the game is forcing me to be a bully towards someone who's already bullied. That's a major turn-off for me, at least.
It is entirely possible that there is no framework for choices and branching paths in game at the moment because the developer is working on building the core framework of the game and thus only focusing on one path.
Hell, if it turns out to be just a visual novel with very few choices, I'm fine with that as well since I'm enjoying the game so far.
MC is slowly working up towards becoming the dominant male after starting off as the weak self pitying male.
At some point, I imagine, he'll take over from Darnell as the alpha male student of the school. Although there seem to be hints that there might be a possible alternate path where the MC becomes friends with Darnell. That could be interesting as well.
I also like that the game is deliberately setting up some female characters to be taken down (like the blond girl, the MILF at the start who almost runs him over, etc.) by the MC. Wouldn't mind forcing them to do whatever the MC wants.
It's still very early in development. There's still plenty of time for the developer to put in choices and branching paths if that is what he intends. Help sissy boy or use sissy boy? Help sissy boy's mother or use her? Become Darnell's friend or replace Darnell as alpha male? Etc.
Lots of potential still.
