For me, it's a non-issue because she's just another ex-girlfriend of the MC

In fact, I believe 90% of the characters in this game are ex-girlfriends or had a relationship of some kind with the MC

And just like all the other relationships in the game, it's completely up to the player if they want to continue anything with her or not

Yes, she is a character in the game, no matter what, but you can just choose to go to work, come home, and ignore her completely

In my opinion, this game gives you the best monogamous relationships of all visual novels

I've seen games with terrible monogamy roots, and everybody seems to give those games a pass
You are Kim's direct supervisor and she's impossible to ignore. I know your stance on most of these VNs but in this case, some interaction with her is forced. It was even toned down somewhat after feedback.

This isn't me trying to critique Chaq's work, I'm simply expanding on what (imo) is part of the reason Kim is so disliked.

If Kim had stayed away sure, but in the last episode we were pretty much forced due to the main story to spend time with her on the business trip. This was reduced a bit with the remake compared to the original version but you cannot simply ignore her.
From the look of the previews it seems like we are also going to be roped into helping Kim and her sister escape their apparently psycho father. Despite not really having a reason to care about that anymore or a reason to put yourself into danger if he is indeed as dangerous as Kim says.
well to be fair I don't really pay attention to the previews unless Kimberly's in it

I can understand people's frustrations, but maybe the game is not forcing us to be in a relationship with her

Maybe her story is part of the main part, and we accidentally get dragged into her problems

it does happen in movies and TV shows, it

and again it's just previews. Maybe it's not what we think

And to be fair, it's not just heard the MC seems to accidentally get involved in other people's problems throughout the entire game

It's quite common in visual novels, and it's not like the developers forcing us to be romantic with anybody

Of course, brother, we all love the game, and I do enjoy this back and forth

It's just for me, I don't see an issue, at least for now. I go to work, I come home, I spend time with Kimberly, that's it

Yeah I expect that we'll help all the LIs out, romantic route or not. Otherwise seeing some scenes wouldn't make any sense, such as Julia's ex and that lawyer, the one kid that has a hard on for Michelle, etc.

To add onto your other comment, I too like going to work, going home, and fucking Kimberly.

I don't mind seeing any content with any LI even if I don't have an interest in them or dislike / hate someone. As I don't like it when a character disappears from the game if im not on their path. So I do like the idea of helping Kim with her father stuff for story reasons but nothing romantic.

Only if I get her dad's company in exchange so I can sell it off.

I have a sudden need for a gigantic plot twist where the dad ends up being a nice guy and Kim was just manipulating us into getting into conflict with him. She's even got a villain haircut.
I would actually like this so much. would make Kim's story and her being a bad LI all that much for better and believable to me cause her current story I do not believe at all

if it's for story reasons, okay, but it depends on how it's done

Like if I choose not to forgive her, and my MC does choose to help her, he makes it clear that he really doesn't want to be in

involved in this, but he's been dragged into it, or he does it because it's the right thing to do, but he still doesn't forgive her

and their work colleagues, not friends

Otherwise, I really don't want to be involved with her problems if I have a girlfriend

But again, we're making assumptions, we don't know what the next update is going to be about

We could all be worrying /concerned for nothing

Is that what we did with Alessa to get Michelle? Probably needed a side of necromancy.
yeah but Alessa isn't as much of a defect / broken model like Kim is. Alessa still works and id keep her but Michelle is just a straight up upgrade.

True Necromancy probably the only way to fix Kim
