I've now read multiple times on here that all of Ian's LI are kind of "terrible people" or at very least "unlikeable". Can someone provide any reasoning for why that is the case? I understand that they all are obviously flawed and have weaknesses, but this doesn't make someone instantly "unlikeable".
To keep it brief, none of the girls are decent long term relationship material, since they all are attached to some sort of crisis and conflict that has to be resolved. Which is just the games nature and typical in VNs. You don't want to play a game about a safe, but boring love interest, rather, there won't be nothing to challenge and force you to choose.
Lena is opinionated and if you date her, you have to compete with dozen other people making a move on her. Her crazy ex, a ruthless millionaire who ruins her and your life if you are on the wrong foot with them.
Holly is a spineless people pleaser and mentally a child.
Cindy is a diva who you have to sacrifice too much for her whims.
Alison is passive aggressive, insecure and babytraps and bimbofications herself if you don't commit to her.
Emma is a selfrightous activist commited to the cause.
Minerva ruins your career to get off.
Cherry provides nothing but her trauma and guilt.
Louise is mentally a teen and now she is betraying Lena for a rushed flighty fling.
Bad Jess forces you to play therapist or to take advantage of a inner dead person.
Ivy is a slut.
