broiler_x I hope that your decisions are made mostly by yourself. What people are talking here are just opinions. Your game popularity is made mostly from your own opinion. (many people that like as it is don't make too much talk)
I prefer the original, the only one that I even remotely like is C ... but I agree it makes him look a lot younger. Maybe the original with a clean neckline?
I'm kinda like you about girl on girl but it depends on the situation. If it's design where you feel you're a third wheel then it's bad but if it's done where they do stuff and actively keeping mc involved as well is good.
It's hard to explain but I like harem relationships when all the girls like everyone and it's not 4 on 1 but 5 on 5 and equal where no one's a third wheel. Best example is bare witness 4 route, no one's a third wheel and just everyone loves eachother. Some games do the oppisite and the girls are more into each other than the main character.
