I enjoy manipulative corruption but if it turns violent, i abandon that route and restart with romance. Basically I'd rather win a battle of wits than enforce rule of law with brute strength.
The closest one i can think of is Personal Assistant. But there the options are to be either manipulative or completely unhinged. I'm sure there's one or two others that I can't seem to remember right now.
I appreciate a dev that gives attention to making a lively background when the scene is set in a public place.
For example, in The Entrepreneur whenever there's an interaction between MC and an LI in a cafe, there's background characters who are having mini arcs of their own basically.
I just binge anime or TV shows. Maybe get the bare minimum amount of daily exercise in so that my stomach outline doesn't show whenever I put a t shirt on.
It is definitely a thing but maybe not very common. I wasn't really into it but I had an ex who insisted on "starting off" that way just before heading onto the main event.
Agreed to all of this. I'd say avoid Lessons In Love as well. The narrative is so mind numbing and the graphics are clunky as well. Pair all that with the horrible attempt at trying to be a horror game.
