so after over 20 in-game days, I can confidently say this is one of the few AVNs I play for the plot, though there is one thing. I haven't got to that point yet, nor do I know if it's implemented yet but I hope we aren't forced into a relationship with Rachel and can choose to reject her. I wouldn't want her in the group at all and many others probably think the same, so is or will there be a choice like that?
I trust Cosy with the story. Whatever is given will have its reasons and tbh I am too addicted to this vn to be sad about it. I don't personally like looking at miss takamura scenes but it's a vn and it won't change my irl views so I don't mind in the end. But Rachel sure is way more annoying but I am sure with a nice reasoning and back story people will forget the annoying parts. But again trust the process.
Hey, sorry, but it won't be optional. She isn't going to be rammed right into the group as if she belongs overnight, a lot of stuff is going to happen before she even begins coming in. But ultimately, this is a kinetic novel. With the way I write all of the girls being interconnected and interacting constantly, making any of them optional would massively increase the time required to make every update.
