"50 hours gameplay and at early chapter 4"? My save at 50 hours is during the Ardford Summit in Chapter 2 and my save at the start of Chapter 4 is 112 hours, I guess you really rushed the game. 😅
Honestly, the only game variables which require to be cheated to make the game enjoyable are ProN because everything depends on investments and Sarai's influence during the Council of Gawnfall because SierraLee designed this conference like an investments round and just like all investments in his unfair game, it is designed to make you waste more than you earn to make you feel that you played the game wrong and want to replay it to try better only to always get disappointed and frustrated because the game is designed to be unfair no matter how you play it and the only way to actually enjoy it is to cheat your capital to grant yourself just enough to buy all investments and therefore get this unfair obstacle out of the way of an actually rewarding experience.
You really don't need to cheat any other variable beside ProN because buying all investments already grant relationship points in this game who hypocritically mocks the other games who make you shower people with gifts to buy their love while it makes you have to buy insanely expensive investments to get into people's hearts, how is that for hypocrisy?
Really, it is absurd how everything in the game depends on investments alone so much that even if you do everything else perfectly, you still can't get the best outcomes because you didn't invest in some insanely expensive this or that, this is so disgustingly unfair that the game begs you to cheat your ProN variable and buy all investments to remove this absurd obstacle out of the way because this game design is so absurdly unfair that it requires to cheat to make it fair and somewhat enjoyable.
I didn't need to cheat to support Tyna into become one of the best candidates to succeed King Alonon even if I couldn't maximize her score the first time without cheating to buy all investments, I still got her in a strong position without any cheating and the second time when I replayed Chapter 4 to cheat my ProN variable in order to grant me just enough to buy all investments, I easily got the best results for her without any other cheating beside my ProN to buy all investments so I assure you that you don't need to cheat anything beside your ProN to buy all investments to get the best results out of your playthrough, you can actually enjoy playing fair for everything but investments. 😉
I share your dislike of SierraLee's hypocrisy to pretend that his game is non-linear whereas it is actually so linear that we can't even control our own character's decisions such as choosing who he wants and who he doesn't want in the harem as I really dislike Carina's religious fanaticism who always supports the Church and expects me to support it as well no matter how bad the Church gets and Uyae's fanatical patriotism which makes her expect me to always prioritize her homeland over the world and I am really frustrated that I didn't get to choose if I wanted or not Simon to let Uyae deceive the Zirantians by impersonating a fake goddess to feed them delusional hope, it also really frustrates me that he decides who he doesn't want in the harem such as Tyna that I really want to join the harem and that pisses me off that my own character denies me my will! If she said that she was not interested in Simon then I would accept it but it is Simon who decided that he doesn't want her to join the harem whereas Simon is the player character so he should let the player choose what he decides and this is only an example of the many frustrating decisions that Simon makes without involving the player's input which demonstrates that this game is actually so linear that it can't even afford to let the player make any choice which would significantly alter the story!
Since I am denied Tyna, I rather get her a love marriage with Kalant who is a humble hero who saved her life and who she has a crush on than a political marriage with another candidate that she doesn't love which is why even though I am frustrated that SierraLee denies us to get her to join the harem, I don't mind that much supporting her romance with Kalant if that is who she loves.
Why do you cheat the game variables into such ridiculous proportions such as absurd numbers such as -1000 to Tyna's rivals when 0 would be enough and you don't even need to cheat anything else than your ProN to buy all investments to get the best results? What is even the point of playing a game to not play it? I mean, you cheat to break the game in such proportions that you don't even play it anymore as you said that you don't even do a single mission and while I do cheat to remove some frustrating obstacles out of the way of my enjoyment, I really don't understand what is the point of you cheating to not play the game at all. 🤔
Did you read my review of the game yet?
