The illusion of choice is killing me.. personal preference and in no way valid criticism since your game never promised to offer choices or branching paths that aren't endings but sometimes the MC doesn't feel like they have a spine. Some sort of option to retort to some of the blatant disrespect they receive in a meaningful way (falling out of favor or falling in favor) of certain characters would be cool. At times, it feels like I'm watching the MC straight up groom a character and other times it feels like they're a victim with the lack of choice in some tutor scenes.
