On the subject of the direction of the VN, I'm not loving anything of what I'm seeing. At this point this whole thing could be a set-up and he is being played by most everyone. I don't want to think about it but it is playing out that Monica/Zarah could be in on this too! Everyone playing him to keep him off balance! Elaine could be the actual "Good Girl" here and actually be trying to do exactly what she told him(get him his share of the inheritance) in a backhanded way, but still trying to do the right thing. Bella, Jolina, Theresa or someone we haven't seen yet could be "Dizzy". Bella has been to forward/fast pushing forward with her relationship. Jolina has been too understanding esp considering she keeps saying how she's been hurt in the past, and the whole Coffee shop could be completely a smokescreen. I honestly think Theresa is a misdirect. Also, Dizzy could be a group lead by one of the LI's. We know his dad was/is a real piece of work! I wouldn't put it past him for everything to have been set-up before hand for a bunch of this to be to get into MC's head and keep him off balance. Oops, I forgot to include Lily in the group for Dizzy. It's an out there consideration but she is/plays Ditzy a little too well and shows glimpses of true genius.
I'm playing so far with all the LI's mainly because it seemed to be the thing to do on the first playthrough and you get more content. Def not the best choice for a good/happy end. Oh, BTW I haven't finished Chap 23 yet. Up to the day after at the beach and the choice of who to side with - probably choosing a Jo or Bella path. Honestly I think if I had a choice here I'd send them both to a hotel! But that is looking in from the outside! The MC is in the thick of it and can't see the forest for the Bush(or lack there of)[blinded by the T&A]!
