Monica has been left out in these past few updates. I want her SOOO badly, and she better be in the next one.

Need Monica to be the main course in the next update! We’ve not seen her for too long! The carnival date was divine af.
Unfortunately we also haven't seen Theresa + need a resolution of the dog-boy situation (we have to go back to see Theresa no matter what IIRC), also Zarah, and there's Mabel, possibly someone I am forgetting... Too many love interests, can't remember them all.

I could live without seeing Theresa again. Does anyone actually like her character, or do they just enjoy putting her in her place? I am truly curious what positive qualities, if any, people see in her.
And what is the dog-boy resolution we need? I thought it was pretty much wrapped up. Maybe I was just distracted by all the other sexy action with the Katie, Debbie, Katie, and even Wanda (who I used to dislike, but is really growing on me), so I forgot it.
I like her scenes, definitely for the latter reason.
Romance is nice but lots of games do it so it's nice to get a change of pace with crazies like Theresa or Natasha.
For some reason the MC agrees to visit Theresa as a way to "pay" for her keeping dogboy away from Jenna, that's what I meant. I don't like her at all, I am the type of person who doesn't like associating with anyone who is negative and/or tries to control the MC (in any game I don't like the hateful characters).

Ahh, yes, I get it now. I had forgotten that aspect of the story. I am with you there, I don't like to spend time with annoying characters, or those that are overly judgemental, or just crazy like Theresa. I don't mind if they exist in a game, but as long as I don't have to see them repeatedly. There are enough people like that in real life, to want to spend my leisure time interacting with them, even if imaginary.
Exactly! I get enough abuse in real life! I'm married! LOL
Seriously, I play games for relaxation not to grind my teeth because some character that is supposedly in love with the MC is being an utter bitch/a potential Love interest is treating the MC like dirt.
One of the high points of this game was being able to tell Zarah to fuck off and get out very early on. That was a one off though. Between that and being able to keep Elaine at arms length early on gave the impression this was going to be one of the only games that allowed the player to have normal and realistic reactions to the characters they encountered.
The game over for not wanting to ask out Jo, the forced photos in Monica's bedroom and many other forced scenarios crushed that illusion quickly.

If this were allowed with literally every character, then there couldn't be any real narrative. Some events must occur with certain characters to make sense, so it's not a weakness to force some interactions for sake of plot advancement. However, in such circumstances, it might be better to remove the facade of agency from the player by eliminating false choices.
That would be my number one complaint with this game. The plot of this game isn't really the inheritance, it's the relationships. And yet the only reason for the MC to go meet Jo, interact with her, and date her was because the inheritance subplot required it. I don't understand why anyone would even program a game over, just remove the choice. Sure there would be complaints about "being forced to date someone" but there wouldn't have been a decision that lead to a game over. Write it as something like Jenna tells the MC that she wants to go to the new coffee shop and the bonus is that's where the email was sent. Then have Jo ask the MC out and have Jenna accept on the MC's behalf as the MC choked on his coffee and tried to make a decision. Sure Jo is reluctant to date because of her experience with Dogboy but she thought the MC looked good, she liked how he treated Jenna, and she took a chance.
I know the way I wrote it isn't great and that it removes some choices but the choices it removes all cause the game to end. Anyway, I've hashed this out many times before on this thread but I just don't like it when the illusion of choice is so prominent. I know that every game is going to direct the narrative to an anticipated ending but it would be nice if it wasn't so blatant.

Haha. Same here, so these games are a great diversion.

Zarah? I like her. She has a lot of spunk. Her character has grown on me a lot. I think she is devoted to Monica, so I can't imagine her doing anything to harm her or those she cares about (you). Her appearance has gotten better throughout the game also, so I think she is pretty attractive these days, in a MILFy way.
And Mabel, who I keep forgetting, is hot AF. I couldn't bear to betray Monica at the carnival on my main save, but I can't say I resisted Mabel on another play through.

You don't have to "find positive qualities", it's a freaking game and personally I play games to have fun. That character is one of the best in terms of fun and being out of the ordinary.
In terms of ordinary characters we've plenty, plenty of content...characters like her, or Wanda or others it's like a breath of fresh air. In fact ignoring her the last x updates has been a mistake I didn't expect the author would make.

My main is Jenna but Wanda is a very close second. So close I almost wish she was another main character in the household.

Ok, ok. Well, to each his own. I was just honestly curious what people saw in Theresa's character, if anything, that made them like her scenes.
Wanda I actually like as of a couple of updates ago, where she lets her softer side show through at the ballet studio. She is actually more interesting as a character than Angel now.
But I can't stand "holier than thou" types, especially fundamentalists like Theresa. Something about the extreme hypocrisy where she pretends to be a paragon of moral virtue and looks down on all other characters as "harlots", "sinners", or something similar, defends her son against truly awful behavior, and then when nobody is looking does the same things she criticizes.
I realize it is a game, and it's no knock on the devs, not every character has to be sympathetic, clearly Theresa's unlikability is intentional. WTHI is absolutely one of the few great games here, but to me I cringe whenever her scenes come up, just because I know I have to deal with her character one way or another. I am glad others like her, but for me, I'll take anyone else to spend game time with. Even Natasha, the lawyer, or even Roger (platonically of course), over Theresa.

If I can give you one suggestion: put aside what you (the player) would think IRL (where I'd agree with you, btw) and try to roleplay a different character while gaming (with a second\third save, depending on how many different character you want to try). I assure you It's a lot of fun (and replayability!)

I agree Wanda has become a likeable character at this point. I'm assuming that we will get some more time with her in the future. I'm hoping the modeling gig event happens where we have another shoot with Angel and Wanda and we will get to see if they continue to develop her character. Of course I will be hoping that it will end with a nice threesome as well.
