She is indeed pitiful and she does deserve some help from MC. But going back to the relationship is a big no no. There is no recovery from a breach of trust.
I would love an option to help her resolve all her problems but to be clear to her that we are not going to be together again.
yeah that's part of the reason I think I forgave her as well. As far as getting back together part of me wants to cause I do like getting back with Ex's in these games but on my main save I dont think so. As I never really had much interest her beyond friendship anyways.

You gotta love the decrease in the depth of field going on - you cannot distinguish much on her face.

Or much of her defining features, either from the character posters or the first release.
Maybe she got better at make up or bought herself some fuller fillers fir the cheeks.
As we are talking about the cold hitting the game, maybe just swelling from exposure
to extreme temperatures after getting heated up inside or frozen make up on her face.

She must be happy to get back into the overseas life of not being alone, is all.
Like i give a fuck whether she's happy or not. For all i care she's done. No reconciliation, no second chances. She wanted to ride caroseul, to be free, empowered and independent woman?, i'll give her that. She should just stop emberassing herself and understand that love story between her and MC is over.

I'm gonna have to make a separate save to just not forgive Kim for that update. As much as I dislike Kim the most I still dont entirely dislike her and felt bad for her a little bit enough that I couldnt be mean to her on my main save.
I have separate saves for every girl. In each save i dump Kim. Whether it is Olivia or even Kayla.

that's another reason I like her a little bit even if I like her the least because emotions on her face shows a different story how she still loves the MC I cant help but feel bad for her. Even If I mostly want to help as friends and nothing more tho I will get back together with her on at least 1 save and be mean to her on another but most of the saves ill be friendly and help her out but nothing more than that.

That, brother, is being a nice guy. You put girl first instead of puting yourself first. You chase a girl (in this game obviously) that dumped (MC) you. And how do nice guys end?, they get hurt and crossed over. In this particular case (even though it's just a game) Kim chose money and job instead of love and potential family. I must congratulate you on being that nice because even though Kim pretended that everything is fine and ok, she wasn't open, and waited last moment, you are still willing to accept her back. Tell me what are guaranties that she won't do it again if another job oportunity comes knocking? If choice is given i would rather pick Kayla, or even be alone, rather then picking her. From my perspective that ship sailed long time ago and it's for the best both parties to move on.

I dont disagree entirely even tho I do believe in giving second chances. I would be willing to giver her a second chance if I didnt like the other LI more that's why she will mostly just be the friend zone since I like the other LI more and nothing more on all but like 1 save I plan to do. As I see it there is no harm in being a friend at least as she isnt a bad person and I understand why she did what she did. Tho if im being honest she could be the most toxic and worst EX GF there is on the planet and id still want to play 1 save to get with her ( just not the main save) as I do enjoy the whole getting back with EX's aspect when they are in these games just to see how things turn out even if I know it will be a bad ending.

Tho I will say if this was me in real life id take her back if I was single when she came back into my life as I rather be with someone that may or may not hurt me again than be alone. Be different if she was toxic and a horrible person.

I did hit a like because i respect your view. In real life i would never take ex back, nor would i stay friends. Its not me being childish, immature or something its just me moving forward. Moving forward, for me at least, means no contact with ex. I don't want to stay friends with someone who dumped me for someone else or what ever reason may be. No, i'll find someone else. When ever i see you i will not say hi i'll pretend like i don't know you.

In game however, since game does force you go to that job trip, if possible minimal contact with only job related topics. My MC don't care about her private life, what have had happened in one year since Kim left for South Korea, or what are the reason for her leaving. I would rather be interested for private life and befriending that other guy named Kim from North Korea than giving her second chance.

First paragraph: Agree and I always play all paths to see the content, though leave the most unapealing till last.

Second Paragraph: Been there and unfortunately done it. Now I'll choose to stay single rather than be with someone who doesn't meet up to my standards. I'd also never date an ex (again lol) and never go back to someone who cheated, no matter how lonely I was. Will only make you worse in the long run.

I don't like Kim either, simply because I don't find her attractive. But I don't understand the hatred towards her. She is not selfish and she really loved mc. the problem is that she is totally terrified of her father and would rather go back home, than have her father hurt her boyfriend. she could have done it differently, i agree. But she never wanted to hurt the mc or even leave him.
I think Kayla is much worse, very selfish, she doesn't care if the mc is harmed, if it's to her benefit.
She could have just told us....you know...honesty...trust...the things that are important in a relationship with someone you supposedly love....

Be a great Reddit post this. Left my bf...really love him...but broke his heart because I'm a selfish bitch, didn't trust him enough to be honest with him and made decisions about our relationship myself....though I told my best friend all about it....now he hates me....AITH?

Here you have already answered your own dilemma:
As others have said, someone who is very confortable giving herself almost two years of a breakup,
will have all the least respect for you and women who disrespect guys cheat and shit on them with others.
I don't like Kim either, simply because I don't find her attractive. But I don't understand the hatred towards her. She is not selfish and she really loved mc.
As a lotta gamers chimed in their ideas on this topic:
unless you take your manhood and your dignity back from someone who
wants to fall back right into your loving arms after dumping you like a used rag,
you will never be loved, just used, abused and more prbably than not discarded once more.
The deeds bespoke are those which this MC never does - eating up her snarky explanation,
without any proof of any commitment to MC or to her dad or to the company, for that to matter,
just like Kim did this latest update - is not a reconciliation, it is a con to embezzle a spineless consort.

Now, let me tell you some more of my ideas:
1- she chose to respect someone else more than MC, in spite of MC and opposed to MC,
2-her father is scarier to her even from all the way
across the ocean in the smallest of countries, rather than making her escape with MC,
3-she never fears loosing MC and never feels like making anything up to him,
but wants to be daddys pet,
4-she gets back acting like a new treasure MC would have to cherish, while he himself is humiliated,
5-MC never got anywhere outta his lackluster dead end job, while Kim scaled her corporate ladder.

The power dynamic is collosally crushing MC with every passing day,
which is so, so sad. Even dev acknowledged this game is extra dark and salty so far.

same I dont find her attractive compared to others at least. I dont hate or dislike her for what she did as I understand the reason why. Yeah she should of told us but when you fear someone and scared of what might happen to a loved one I can understand why she did it as you dont think rationally under those circumstances. However what bugs me about the whole thing is should could of left us a note, a text message, phone call or something a week or so later once she got settled in instead of waiting a year to tell us the reason why.

So .. you want to quit your job and under duress you go back to your blackmailing abusive father across the ocean?
She wanted to be his fodder for countless beatings or what was the reason she went to be the office pet of her father,
the same you seem to have bought her tale of fear - you go get molested if your bully threatens to come beat you up?

The hate is about the Kim that left. You need to acknowledge she was in the wrong.
what's the point of being angry with Kim?
Being angry with someone will make you weary of their motives next time they
want you to invest anything in their ideas: she already left without feeling like
she could whitstand whatever this life threw at her with MC, she dumped MC like rubble.

MC has to keep these things very well wedged in the back of his head,
because you did guess it - MC has a savior complex, but the people he thinks he is saving:
LEAVE HIM FOR FEAR OF SOMEONE ELSE, which is the worst possible relationship you can have.

She thought she would never see him again.
Is she prepared to run away with MC and start a new life with him?
Are we supposed to forget their whole plans together,
when both Kim and MC were seriously hating on their jobs
and they were both making ample plans in their heads to leave?

If she is not prepared to leave together with MC, essentially continue their plans together
right from where she and MC left things off,
she is none the wiser and has learnt literally nothing, along with MC.

I feel only leaving together with the MC and starting over only makes sense as a option if she thinks her father wont find out or isnt powerful enough to do something. But it seems to me she thinks he powerful enough if she didnt consider that as an option. The thing is we still know nothing about him really so it's hard to say if her fear is irrational or not at this point. ( It probably is).

This next point is purely speculation as we dont know how bad her sister has it living with her father. But i assume he beats her at the very least.

So lets assume her father isnt that powerful and her fear is irrational. She also has a sister she wants to help escape her father. So her choice would of been go no contact with her sister and hope her father doesn't eventually kill her sister or beat her severely which probably would be something she would think about constantly.

When thinking about sister it seemed like she really only had 2 options

Hurt the love of her live and hope she can help her sister out in someway in the future somehow or at the very least be there for her when she can to try to deal and handle her father so she doesnt get hurt / beat as often. Or ignore her father live her life with the MC with the constant thought of what is happening to her sister which probably would be bad for her mentally. Either way both options aren't ideal.

But until we learn more about her father and family it's really hard for me to judge how poor of decision she made by giving into her fear and leaving and hurting the MC.

We can think of this logically: she ran away once, found MC,
then she got ensnared right back into the hell at home.
made by giving into her fear and leaving and hurting the MC.
sav e.gif
There is a whole damn ocean between her and the hell at home, she clearly cannot do anything,
as she left alone, without her sister, barely managed to get outta there a second time.

How many times can she idiotically pretend she can do anything while she gets absolutely obliterated
every time she goes back to hell ???

Everything you said might end up being true. I'm just going with the assumption her father has powerful connections or something that can do something even from across the ocean since he is a unknown to us at this point. She still is my least favorite LI so im not trying to defend her but im not going to be to quick to judge either till more is revealed.
