It’s a pretty good story. Just started it, waiting for it to build a bit more before I dug in. I don’t like that MC is in love with Isolde. She isn’t my type honestly for a female LI. I wish we had more choice in that relationship.

I've explained this before on my Tumblr, so if you haven't seen it already, there are no characters you are "forced" to romance. The MC being in love with her is only for the plot. You don't have to romance her if you don't want to. There are two male romances and another female romance available. You can play however you want and decide for yourself how your MC identifies, and if that doesn't work for you, then you don't have to play at all.
It is there in Isolde's description that she is the Mc's best friend and the unrequited love of their life. So the extent of the MC's feelings is stated clearly there. She's also the first RO listed here and on Tumblr. I don't know where the surprise is coming from unless someone is playing the game without even reading the game's description. If they aren't reading it, and then they get upset, that's their own fault.
