It’d be fine if I was given a heads up and could work around it.
Like summer break. Okay I have one month off from school, so I’m locked out of my school social links. Fine, I had made some progress in them anyway so not that big of a loss. That’s just a whole month to focus on the rest of the social links.
Except it isn’t. The second week gets stolen by you being forced to work at Junes. Okay so you have 3 whole weeks off then? No, because in the last week you have the option to help Nanako with her homework. Fine, free Nanako points for one night. Except no, accepting means a whole week where your night time is spent helping her. Which would be fine since you also get a couple points with the party in the process, effectively doubling points gain for one time slot, except I already basically maxed out Nanako’s social link by then anyway. So that was wasted boosts.
Sheesh. I’m mid-September now so I’m what, 3/4 through the game? I have 3 maxed social links, but still have yet to create 2. Margeret says I’m making good progress but I’m not sure I can max them all, especially since I still need to grind out the 5th level of 4/5 of my social skills.
