I like the small/medium drama that is simple and easy for the MC to help fix, things that are quick and that can resolve in a session or a few days. The larger drama parts are needed to balance out how quickly the MC can solve issues for the characters he is helping out. While it can seem at times the drama becomes too much, and overwhelming, but if the story is well written it pays off in the long run.
Look at the example we got at the bowling event, the brawl seen around the world. The MC was painted in a bad light, thrown in jail, and we freaked out. The thread went crazy how could he go to jail and Wendy didn't. The next update comes we find out they all went to jail including the whole basketball team not just the MC Skye and Ayden. They all get released in less than 24 hours except for Ryker and his crew.
Now on the back end of this drama we got all sorts of positive things:
So much good came out of that drama. Well placed drama can do great things for a story, as long as the drama is not over done or over used. BD has done a great job so far he tosses in the small drama which are things easier to fix (minor issues for the girls he hooks up with), he tosses in some medium ones like the house/car stuff, and then he puts in larger ones like Ryker/Charles. Now the smaller drama is great since it mostly leads to lewd content, the medium ones add some depth to the story/characters, but the larger ones can leave the impact on the player. Those larger ones are the things that get us talking and discussing the game in great detail beyond the lewd content. They get your emotions running, you get angry, frustrated at first then as they start to move towards a resolution you get understanding and happiness. These are things good story tellers do to keep their fans interested and coming back for more. Yes the lewd content brings in more fans but the good story keeps them coming back for more.
Games with lewd scene after lewd scene with barely any story are not as fun to play, they feel stale after a while. However, if you add in a good story toss in some drama/issues that the MC needs to work at and you get a better game. Too much drama gets boring too, but a good balance like we have so far in WVM keeps it fresh and us on our toes looking for the next issue.

Now on the back end of this drama we got all sorts of positive things:
- We learn more about Kimmy and Kenji
- We finally find out what has been bothering Stacy
- Natalie seems to be coming around to the idea of furthering the relationship
- We finally meet Wendy and learn a little more about her
- Willow tells us more about her past and Leslie
- We get Jamie and Shauna to manage our days
- We get to hear more about how Jamie and Shauna want to see the MC with other girls (take him to another city to find a hook up)
- We get invited to a concert and music video session with a rock star (Date with Willow and maybe Liz)
- The school drama with Teachers being able to work with students outside of class ends (oh boy lewd stuff with Veronica and Harper getting closer)
- Even if you didn't like it we got the Mabel scene
- We hear from Alexis who seems to miss Daddy
- We see Penny opening up more to the MC
- We find out there are a lot of Celebrities interested in the MC from the social media page (which also seems to interest Mckenzie)
- Charles gets fired
- Ryker is in the hospital in a coma, also expelled from WVM
- Kenji is gone with a broken leg as well
