Well, this is really nice. It kinda reminds me of what really happened when I was a university student (more than 20 years ago - YIKES!!
).
Sometimes a little bit of realistic events and dialogues are more than welcome.
I guess these devs who are developing these WannabeBaDIK clones never set a foot in a university building in their whole life: thanks God this game is different.
Well done, guys!

Context!? What context? You referred to NOTHING in your post except some unnamed games by 'many Devs'. Which games? Were they by the same developer? I tried searching for 'many Devs' and 'another game', but couldn't seem to find the ones you were referring to.
I think them having that sequel game already made kinda ruined this whole experience for most people. It's hard to play a game like this when you already know who 2 of the LI's end up with and yeah they said that the old game has no meaning but its just jarring to go from one to the other and you can't really expect people to forget about it.

I think that the dev should stick to the prequel and build the story considering what happened and focusing on the ones who might "matter" for the MC, just like this latest update, which had a really great character development.

here's what that developer said:
- not really NTR. It has Netori, and it has a few optional NTR scenes, that are avoidable and warned ingame
- the girls you decide to not romance can have their own story progression and romance
And what this developer said:
1. The MC's active relationship(s) will NOT be affected by any other male characters. (i.e. If you're in a relationship, your partner will not be interested in other guys.) But the characters you're not in relationship with may have other romantic interests. As they too have a life, no matter how fictional it may be.
2. If you END a relationship with a character, some of them may get together with someone else. (But the breakup will not be anything strong or hate-driven, it will be a soft, mutually consented, friendly parting.)
I admit that those statements are similar.
However, this developer followed up with this one:
3. Regarding the (usual) concerns about multiple male characters
As we have mentioned before in this thread, our aim as creators is to give our players a 'feel good' experience with TBDoOL.
So, you will NOT be forced into doing or seeing anything you don't like.
The male characters are here to be the MC's friends and classmates, not threats to his love life.
According to this you, the player, are not forced to 'SEE' anything you don't like. I again point out that this appeared right above your post.
As with any game where there are choices as to the fetish content we see, there will be development time devoted to things we don't care about. The choice for us becomes whether that undesirable content is enough to make downloading and playing a game not worth the time and effort. It's a dilemma I struggle with all the time. A lot of the time it depends on the quality of the game. I can put up with a lot that I don't watch if the writing is good enough. But there are many others that I have rejected because the effort is not worth my time.

It seems to me that such sex scenes between ex-LIs and other males might actually happen and be viewable in this game. However, if we have a choice not to see them, does it really matter? Personally, if I've ceased relationships with some girl on my terms, I don't really care what she does or with whom from then on, as long as it's not in front of me. That's in real life, not just in porn games. In this game, it will obviously be on 'our terms' since we will be making the choices.

I have to say, the renders look good, especially Nina(?) the redhead. However, I don't think this one's for me. I didn't like being pushed into anything with blondie. I chose to refuse her and yet still had to work with her and go on that pseudo date. So I am going to give this a pass, but wish the Dev good luck.
I'm also more partial to harem or throuple type games, while I do like a few single LI ones, they are more rare to me. So again, good luck.

Text-heavy alert. Just in case.
Generally speaking, this issue has been made quite clear both by the developers and by people's comments. And that is to be welcomed.
Still, for me it is impossible not to have "problems" with this. As I've said before, I have no problem with girls I choose not to romance having their romantic and sex lives. As long as, as you said, that I am not forced to see it. Even if all the characters are super nice and I like them, I'm only interested in watching the MC and his girl fuck (either the one he chooses or the ones he's flirting with) I want it to be noticeable who the protagonist is. As much as I like the other characters, I'm most interested in the life of the MC. Not the lives of the others. And here come my concerns.
Which brings me to the following situation. Being a dating sim game, I think ideally we should be allowed to be able to "flirt" with all the girls and not be forced to choose a girl very early in the game. Again, selfishly put, I want all the girls who are love interests to be available to the protagonist for a good amount of time. I wouldn't feel like if one or more of the girls says she has feelings for another guy (or girl) while I'm trying to pick her up and romance her. I'll give a quick example: Become a Rockstar. Until the last update, you could romance all the girls. Something like that is what I like. Of course not having a secret relationship with all of them. Being able to have them all available to the MC for a good amount of time so you can decide who will be the official girlfriend. I don't want to be forced to choose too soon. It would kill that part of dating sim.
Lastly, I say again that I am only interested in watching the MC fuck. I say that again because, knowing that the girls we don't choose can have their romantic and sex life, I hope that the screen time of the characters other than the MC will be exploited so we can or can't watch them fuck. I'm interested in their story, not in seeing them fuck if it's not with the MC. Nor that the situation of "Oh, I heard some strange moaning behind this door. I wonder what's in there?" is overexploited. Sure, we'll have the choice to watch or not. But the mere fact that we are presented with that situation is a tremendous killer boner for me.
I really appreciate having more and more dating sim romance. They are my favorite genres. I always say the same thing, but I hope no one takes my opinion in the wrong way. I know I only focus on "negative" things but for the most part, I love these games and am thrilled with them.

All right, you've got your point. This is nice and interesting and very educational and all*, but... why don't you stop it, move on to something else and leave us alone?

Devs have stated that you'll get to know and spend time with every LI before choosing a path, and that you'll be able to switch girlfriends throughout the college years. They've also said multiple times that while other LIs will move on with their lives and possibly date other men, the player will not be forced to watch any of their sexual encounters, and that the girlfriend will never display affection for other male NPCs while you're in a relationship with her.
At the end of the day it's all about what you as a player are willing to risk for the sake of a good time. If you think you absolutely cannot stand even the idea of other LIs having a love life independent of you IN THIS NON HAREM GAME, then this isn't the game for you, and that's totally fine. Just move on to the next thread, and don't pollute this one with your blind hatred towards the NTR tag that doesn't even exist here.
But if you are able to withstand their development off-screen, I would 100% recommend you keep your watch on this game - it's clear the devs are passionate about it, and the story so far is simply incredible. It's definitely worth stepping outside your comfort zone for.

Hi! Absolutely love these. Could I trouble you with a request for a sig using this render below? If needed, a bit more focused on Vanessa - she looks breathtaking here.

They are in this together those 2, being room mates and going at it.
The brunette asks him in their room to talk him out of his mind,
while the red head just wants to clarify some nonsence about someone else.
WTF?
Why would MC be near such cruel ass bitches that keep disrespecting him,
why would he still try to teach those ill mannered ruffiians the ways of the world?
Mindboggling.

Remember, in the scene you showcased, the brunette bluntly tells MC he is out of red heads league.

This is all prodding and too shallow to make any adjustment.
MC is nowhere in the end for the two gurls who seem to be together
with some other 2 boys.
Those 2 gurls end up in that sequel with the 2 other boys in your group of so called friends.
MC is some kind of outcast in this 0.2 version of the game, sometime because gurls just play him,
like the gurl alone with him at night who tells him no intimacy, on top of being sent there by those
2 other gurls who are not gonna end up with MC come the end of college.
Then there is the brunette, who is not in their group of friends, she has a heart 2 heart with MC,
but still no intimacy, like nothing real but talk and smiles and puns.
When I say intimacy, I mean like having any modicum of common goals, common interests, common
anything. Still, those gurls just make a fool of MC who is some sort of lost puppy,
being stringed along by any gurl who wants to taunt/use him as a punching bag
for trying all sorts of innuendoes with no intimacy.
MC is right now harmless, he has no agency, gurls just get to walk all over him and
he just takes it.
Why would MC go to a gurl at night and just take her bullshit?
Why would MC go to gurl dorm at night and take all her bullshit?
Why would MC just take some other gurl bullshit, right out of the blue,
like he is the one to blame, when he is just lost with no agency.
The puching MC in the water stuff was hurtful,
they even push one of the gurls in, but MC is just the idiot in the water,
while the machos who pushed both of them end up in relationships with the 2 gurls.
I thought we would come to have some more close interactions with the gurl,
but both those gurls only seem to care MC is not mad at them, they still do not include him in their
group, but play pranks on him, pranks the 4 of them are in on, but not the MC.
So this is just some outcast end of the barrel moment of truth 4 MC:
Everybody is a comedian around him, planning his next embarassment.

...they're teenagers in college. They just met. Furthermore, devs gave a big ass disclaimer that choices in 0.2 would feel a bit off but would make sense for character development down the line.
Chill out and have some faith, my guy.
