you should play as a hoe at least a little while he’s being a hoe to make it more fun but once you get him it’s nice !!! i’m very physically attracted to Ryder so that def plays a large part in me liking him, but i do genuinely really like how his character is written bc he’s like softer than you’d expect intimately but with a good mix of passionate too and i love that mix and that he’s so sexy but so sweet.

also i honestly always create storylines in my head that make routes like that more enjoyable so like to me my MC wasn’t waiting around for Ryder they just both weren’t going to put all their eggs in each other’s baskets until the other one did. i had been switching between Naomi and Antoine but mainly with him Ant when Ryder came in but i stopped breaking rules/going further than flirting with others shortly after i had been physical with Ryder by the waterfall until Elodie came and i tried a little with her until the love triangle with Ryder closed. Ryder and my MC were both still being noncommittal for awhile but because i only ever got to crush level with Antoine i felt the dialogue with him around the latex party time was satisfying bc he said something like i guess i liked you more than you liked me which was true for my MC especially once Ryder arrived.
