This is why I usually prfer it when the romance options don't have side loves when you don't romance them. Feels like you're breaking some apart and feels like a little less canon.

Feels a bit like that with Ryona x Bash, I hope they don't elaborate too much on it or their routes might start feeling a little out of place too.

I get having a background and making the game feel "alive", but I'd rather not have my character's love interest be in love with someone else in all other routes (makes it feel canon and MC's route kinda... make believe).

I kinda figured that Damon and Alisa being viewed platonic in Damon's route was for the comfort of people who would rather focus on romancing Damon than the idea of Damon ever having been with anyone previously, or some past flame appearing out of nowhere to cause drama.


I don't think it'd make it less canon that Damon and Alisa happen to be into each other in every other route and not Damon's route, because isn't it just a part of life to have that "what if" relationship play out in every other scenario than the one that's currently happening in 'Canon'?

That's only my thoughts on it though, I understand that not everyone's going to be comfortable about the whole side character possible romance subplot happening in the background.

it usually reads to me like the MC would be their first choice and the other LI their second one. I mean if you think about it in the LI’s route They can choose to pursue MC Or their other LI and they choose MC. Personally I got the vibe that Damon and Alisa got more of a sibling type relationship, even the game mentioned that their ship sank a loooong time ago so I’m not too worried.
