Goddamn it, you too? Y'all are nasty, this is a nice and wholesome VN
I agree that Hailey isn't a good fit for the MC at all and doubt that they would work out long term but I still like her character quite a bit. If Emily wasn't unavoidable baggage I would enjoy that route.
Lisa seems like a good match for the MC and she's nice enough. Plus I really like Nicole and Carolyn but...she's the Devil woman's daughter. So yeah...can't let my MC join that family.
How about Madelyn? I wouldn't trust her with a paper bag and the fact she's related to Ella is an automatic no for me but she's not too bad.
A different LI would be great. Might make me reconsider my current route but I doubt that will ever happen. Taking a couple years to get his affairs in order and then clocking out on his own terms to join his family is still my goal for the MC.
