Well, I downloaded this game for the first time a few days ago and played through the whole first chapter plus this release of the 2nd chapter. And I'm conflicted. On the one side this game has a great story, on the other side in many cases it feels like the dev added drama just for the sake of drama and to turn this game and the MC darker and darker just because.
In the first chapter the MC acts like a clueless moron in many situations despite having so many people behind his back willing to help. And we also know, that he's not exactly the moron, as he acts. As for chapter 2, there is not enough content to judge him for now, the time skips suggest that he either turned into a second version of The Chimera or it could also be Isabella shutting his emotions off again.
The "suicide" scene was just a cruel cliffhanger. We do know, that she's still alive, how elso could she have given birth to a child, but that doesn't help for the resolve of the "suicide" scene. I think, that maybe Tiffany saved Iris. Tiff had shown her ability to save people before, Isabella twice and MC once. In my opinion it's the most likely outcome, but it could also be someone or something else, that saved Iris.
I hope MC didn't turn into a second version of The Chimera and the story will finally take a turn and MC can finally start to end all these problems to start having families with all his LIs.
If the problems keep pilling up on MC, there is no logical way the dev can resolve everything, imo, at least not in a satisfying way. And I will have to skip the rest of the story. As I mentioned the overall premise is to my liking, but I don't like drama just for the sake of drama and in my opinion, some situations have arisen exactly because of this.
In the end of the day these are just my thoughts. The dev does his thing and I wish him much success with it.
