I dont mind the facepalm always some trolls around that are affride to discus a game or who can only see it their own way
I can see how making her cold is usefull if you dont want to be with her as the player, problem is when you do want to be with her and just miss a few points and you get hit in the face with the friend zone talk making MC the abused guy who had a relationship for years with someone that dident want him and making her a royal bitch you cant trust.......it made me want to shoot her ass and never see her again.
So i would never find the inconsistency or find out if she loved MC (which i still think is a mistake in dialog after your hit with the friend zone talk she shouldent make a 180 and be deeply in love) since i wouldent talk to her at the beach front and find out about it, so it wasent much fun when i never went after any of the other LIs, kinda made it pointless to play on which was a shitty feeling when you like the story, but with 0 LIs it just wouldent be much fun, dident really care for the other LIs.
Still think she should be in love with MC no matter the points or just be a friend of hes in chapter one and let the player deside who to go after then there would be 0 drama, or people can break up with her once they find out the truth, but i proberly just feel that way since she was my favort.
But atleast there is a love route so i am still happy and love that game and looking forward to see where it will go.
