the girls often say "you're so nice to me" as if it's the main aspect in a relationship and there's the whole tanja plan of "I'll be really nice to her and she'll fall in love with me", it all reeks of "nice guy" bullshittery, and when he's not being a "nice guy" he's often very simpy
what is with everyone who isn't a love interest, especially men? why are they complete assholes and not just your everyday variety of asshole but the upper echelon of assholery, it's absolutely wild
then there's lucy's entire thing, as someone who had a pretty rough time in school (beaten up roughly regularly and constant verbal bullying in primary school, and then just generally excluded from social groups and regularly verbally bullied in highschool [I was the autistic fat kid, I really don't know why else I became a target, I also wasn't any good at controlling my emotions so stayed as a target] her hostility towards mc goes well beyond being cold and guarded like would makes sense for an emotionally scarred character and I really thought it would change pretty quickly but even when you get closer and she says she trusts you she's still very hostile (tho she's also a bit like that with sandra at times so I guess it's on brand) and it doesn't make sense, when you've been hurt that much before the last thing you want to do is make anyone else feel that way especially anyone you care about
it's decently fun when those things aren't happening, the only reason I'm even sticking with lucy and doing the whole tanja thing (edit: okay I just checked and deciding against petty revenge apparently means you're okay with people bullying your family [according to mc's internal monologue] and locks you out of lucy's story, holy fuck the leaps of logic this game does at times), and also humouring fiona is because at the start it says "currently only the love route that leads into the harem has the most content" so I'm assuming everyone is necessary to get later story stuff with other characters
