I wouldn't say that dislike your game in general. I bought it and high rated it.
This is only my opinion, I think MC shouldn't be that alpha or badass, you're right, it would be a kind of cliche. In routes that include LOVE relations with Cassie, pretty strong and confident girl, MC should be more confident with her. I don't believe in Cassie's love completely now, but if I'm wrong and she really fell to him, this connection shouldn't last long.
Please Cap, give MC just a bit more masculinity in upcoming game days.
I'm trying the demo and so far i can only say that I thought of it as weird as i suddenly had "the talk" at the breakfast table about what kind of asshole and failure I am for not believing the sister and everything.
For now I would say that doesn't need to be changed much, it was just a bit much and I hoped I wasn't a grade A asshole or had the chance to defend myself there.
I guess I just thought she was going a bit to hard against the main char in that moment.
I remember a fanfiction where you could totally understand why a main char had the opinion that she had, but only the mother and her new love were defendet and the main char was the *******.
This is not my final opinion but that was one moment I noticed.
