Concerning Bella, I don't think that the fact that she doesn't strangle you anymore remove any characterization. We still can see that she is struggling, that she is sad and hurt. And the added scene, like the eyes battle or the introduction of a new character who seem to be angry at you for disrespecting Bella, when you go to her car, add some depth and immersion to the chapter.
Bella was softened in quite a few instances. She was more of a wild card before and now she seems more grounded. This is notable in class, in the car etc. I dislike this change as I think the unpredictability gave she and MC a more interesting dynamic. Kindred spirits. Different but the same. Outcasts willing to go to extreme lengths to protect those they care about.

Now both seem more... normal, and I don't like the change.

Yeah... when you're in the shower with Jeff after the workout, and he says, seriously, that you have a "good waist line" or something like that, I was really surprised.
He said he has a narrow waist but broad shoulders, hence a good body structure. He forgot to say nohomo though.
Now being more serious, the gymbros I got to meet at my local gym would compliment each other often, and they would be as helpful as Jeff was with MC with new members, didn't matter if they were men or women. (They helped me the first weeks I joined, luckily for me they didn't shout at me 'TWO MORE', or I would have cried).

They made me perk my brow multiple times and look at them in disbelief, but... yeah. Sometimes they can say curious stuff that we women or non-gymbros can understand.

The changes started with Ocean removing the 'dark path' of the game. He added the 'candy girl' in the rework, so he can ask Maja where to get candy instead of looking like a psycopath (and the girl sharing the candy with him when Nami leaves was actually a cute touch). Also, lines were added where MC express how he's feeling, how he experiences his panic attacks, etc. Before that, we had no idea what was going through is mind and why he was behaving so weirdly.

Bella was also given 'the stolen sandwich' scene and the 'these hands are rated..' scenes, which make her look, like you said, less like a wildcard and more like a normal girl with some inner struggles.

I personally also miss some of the changes, but I'd lie if I said I don't welcome some of thew new lines/scenes he added.

I disagree somewhat here. There's a significant difference in perception of a person when you think they're sad/maybe angry vs. violent and sad/angry. Somebody without the violence streak isn't somebody to be remotely afraid of. Knowing that she could go off and break you in half lent her character an air of danger and encouraged caution.

Without that, she's just another semi-whiny emo seeming chick in my book. Which, sure, might be perfect for the way MC starts out here, but it's taken her down notably from where she was.

Yeah, It's not like she tried to beat the shit out of you and wrestle with you out of the blue :BootyTime: .

I dont see how harem is possible in this game despite being able to pursue all the girls just about. I can see some relationships with 2 girls being into it but I think in general as the game goes on, there are going to be a lot of bad ends when the MC gets caught trying to shag everyone.

Considering how long it's going to be before he can shag anyone, I just don't foresee that as a real worry.

This game has never meant to be harem. Some girls will be willing to share MC with another girl (as long as they're compatible), but in the end you will have to make your choice.

To those interested

Compendium of Sasha being suspicious as fuck:

...and Sasha simply looking like MC is the most wonderful person who ever existed:

Can't wait to see who she really is.

EDIT: She only joins the gym and sends Robin to lure MC in if you have shown interest in Bella, if you don't Robin doesn't invite you to join them. What does that tell you?
i cant wait either but like ocean said its going to take a while for her story that makes me sad everyday
