Alfidia is *terrible* at managing the bordello until you get her trained up. Buy your own goods in the beginning if you can stay on top of it.
I need one last piece of advice, really. The balance between patience and discipline is hard to find. Ignore their reluctance, and they get worse. Beat them too much, and they get worse. I've tried mixing up the sexual and non-sexual requests, but that also seems random.
What is the best way to raise their acceptance? In one playthrough, I've had all three girls fully trained in all aspects, yet their other stats never rise. Doesn't affection for the MC ever develop?
