A key reason why the group scenes seem dull, for some of us, at least, is because they lack chemistry and eroticism. For instance, there were missed chances to develop the MC's relationship with Jessica and Emily as a three-way, given both girls' science-oriented personalities, their intellect, and the fact that they obviously have something going with the MC. This last update especially could have explored that, given how the Bancroft situation was managed. I would've loved more progression between the MC, Emily and Tasha, too, given Emily and Tasha's surface-level dislike for each other and subsequent rivalry. These are just two examples, of course, as everyone has their favourites.
