Well it's also because the cheating isn't really a conscious effort for its own sake, perhaps except for Minerva and also Mike. He seems rather blasé about sleeping with both Lena and Ivy and Lena gets off on being the better woman, before finding out at least lol.

Cindy does have the cheating specific routing, but otherwise her content as well as most other sexual content has to fit into sex scenes that can also be not cheating, so the affairs come across as very casual and spontaneous in that way. Lena and Ian aren't really going out of their way to cheat, they just happen to be cheating if the player is combining routes.

Not sure I'm fully understanding your points.

Personally, cheating and everything around it, seems to be EKs favoured kink. They've got a knack and an interest, and it shows. It's not mine, so I only ever get to those scenes when I've played my favourite routes and variations, and then I'll explore those ones, but I've got a mental distance to it.

Both Ian and Lena can choose to continue cheating, so even a particular example wasn't premeditated, they are making an effort to be open to it, and to continue cheating (on those paths). Making them both massive hypocrites, but that's part of the core game experience. You can avoid cheating, but it's very hard to avoid the temptation of cheating, in some form. Even the Holly/Ian/Lena is like dibs/friends level cheating. Not to mention all the Sapphic on the Side gets a free pass.

They can choose to cheat, but it's almost always framed in a instinctual way or a romantic one. "I can't choose between them," "character X is just driving me wild" or a "I am betraying character x" statement with a shrug then sex etc. those kinds of justifications. They don't really carry on deliberate affairs for the sake of cheating itself though, so there isn't dialogue about keeping correspondence hidden or how to schedule appointments with your many lovers. Lena isn't fucking Jeremy or Louise while thinking how hot it is that she's getting away with it and Ian isn't plotting when to sleep with specific girls because that's whan he knows some other girl won't come knocking etc.

It's one run I haven't done yet, the Lena/Holly one. Any trips, or tips? Obviously Ian can't touch her, or you'd likely be locked out until the Holly Trinity kicks in. Or can you get away with that if Ian and Lena never dated (if the game lets that be possible). Obviously not just Lena and Holly hooking up on the Slutty Holly path, I've seen all that. Can Lena cad around, or should she just lock that shit down right quick?

And would Ian fuck any of their shit up somehow? I'm thinking it best he does a Alison committed path, because without Lena/Holly, I'm not sure I'd get around to it.

They're all amateur cheaters (which is better than the master level cheaters), which fits the game, but oh so naive.

I mean, yes. None of them is a professional cheater, and for most of them it's something like first or second instance of getting involved in cheating ever. So the lack of prowess and/or paranoia isn't really surprising at all.

Ian could potentially run into either Holly or Ivy or both on their way too or from the glory hole.

I would personally love another scene with Ian and Jess. Ian taking interest in Bad Jess and helping her has low key been one of my favorite storylines.
Click to expand...
I am always telling jess has most potential for drama/melancholic storyline imagin jess gets hope and cute dates with ian and than her past knocks at door or bad lena/ivy influance.... jess story has most emotional and sad hopeless potential like rollercauster

You're not alone bro, but I tell you, Cindy's gonna have two paths, Love and Sluttness. All the girls in the game have it, so it's inevitable that Cindy falls into this dark path. For now just think the Love Path is the real canon for Cindy because when you actually read the story you know that all of Axel's relationships end badly.

I do kinda think that's probably how most cheaters conduct their affairs, they just try and sweep their trail clear, afterwards, depending on their experience. But maybe they need to have been caught to first think about it.

Doesn't Lena think about how hot it is that Louise doesn't know when she fools around with Jeremy? She definitely does with Mike. And Axel, I imagine (haven't played his route while she's in a relationship).

Yeah, it does seem like the most experience these folks have (outside Mike, Axel, and Ivy [probably]) is being cheated on, not cheating. I think Perry was one of the few that cheated that people know about, and that was a public train wreck.

She does with Mike at least. I've never played the either of their routes for any meaningful length, but perhaps it depends on her relationsip with Louise how much pleasure she takes on having her man?

Ian/Cindy love is not a canon event. It's probably a prime path though.

I think the three top contenders for canon path are Ian/Lena romance, Holly Trinity, or Ian/Lena dysfunctional relationship. But again, that's just one hungover bear's opinion. (more working on tomorrow's, than dealing with today's)

Lena/Ivy potentially being rivals would make their relationship much more interesting to navigate. Lena-Cindy and Ivy-Cindy too, depending on how malicious either girl can be towards her in regards to Wildcats.
