Promising second update, this game continues to feel like it has a ton of potential. I like the slow progression with the family, even if it means having to wait for content with them it's better than the alternative where everyone is down to fuck instantly. Your writing in general is also really solid, minor typos not withstanding but that's not a big deal at all. The whole game is a step above of a lot of the twine games people have been making recently.
Hey, thanks a lot for the feedback. If you find any typo, please report it in my

I will say that limiting necessary progression like Kindle to weekends only could make things awkward if you aren't careful, especially when you can fail a date with low stats. If you end up progress gated by weekend stuff it might mean playing through a whole week with nothing to do. Maybe consider adding Kindle dates to Friday right after school. Also wasting time when you go for a stat gain and fail feels pretty bad, maybe consider 2 points on a success 1 point on a failure, or no failure state if the activity only rewards one point.
The Kindle is your primarily way of getting corruption at the very start. After it will be used merely as a bonus of Corruption + Potential Stat Gain. As of right now, it requires you to do only 2 of them successfully (you start with 6, gain 7 on intro to kindle and then you only need 2 more to activate your own quest). Once you start corrupting those around you, it will be easier to gain corruption via interacting with the people around you. As such, I feel that it's fine for now. Maybe I will eventually allow it on other days too, once there are more random events.
As for stat up, it actually work better than you described. It works like this:
Fitness - 1/3 No Success (+0), 1/3 Success (+1), 1/3 Huge Success(+2). As such, in average, you should be getting 1 point per interaction. You only need 5 points to cap it as of now, so it should only take 5 interactions in average. If you feel that you want to min max it, you can always just save scum it.
Charm/Intelligence- 1/4 No Success (+0), 1/4 Success (+1), 1/4 Huge Success(+2), 1/4 Special Event (+1 Love; +1). In this case, before you have the first cap, you only have 50% chance of getting a successful roll, but you should still be getting around 0.75 points per interaction. I feel this is reasonable, because you really don't have anything else to do in these time slots, so it will only take you around 2 weeks, even if you are unlucky. You will also gain 1 free Charm and 1 free Intelligence during the Kindle intro. So you only need 4 points total, or around 5.5 interactions. Once you reach 10, the Special Event will now allow you to gain stat also, increasing your average stat gain to 1, just like Fitness. This can also be save scummed, if you are in a rush.
All in all, I feel that it's very reasonable, but I'm always open to feedback!
Finally, I'm a bit disappointed in the choice of Riley Reid to recast Rachel, but that's honestly just a personal preference, the rest of your casting choices are great so far. Keep up the good work, I'll definitely be keeping an eye on this as it develops.
Unfortunately, Angels Small wasn't a good choice, because she lacked a lot of high quality pictures and videos to use. I went with Riley Reid, because she has a lot of "cute" moments and she herself looks cute.
