Dilemma question ???

Do NOT remove the father route. If anything just make it a toggable optional in setting or at the beginning of a playthrough for all the people who do want it.

In the Gentle, Loving/ Playful Domination Path, I am playing, Daichi has already removed himself from the Triangle. The question is whether Nuko will continue to pursue Him! Nuko, and Ichiro have the perfect excuse for regular contact with Yume and Mai, and while Nuko will be Actively Suspicious of Yume, She will likely opt to play the Matchmaker, for Daichi, with Mai.

I say just keep the Father's storyline optional the way it has been and let the player choose which character they want to see as the story progresses. If some don't want to see the Father's story, they don't have to. Each to their own.

Honestly letting the father find his own happiness either with the neighbor or otherwise (maybe HER mother is free and finds them? Would be interesting seeing him have the role reversed via some snu-snu honestly). But a father hoping for the best for his son can really add a nice dynamic rather than being a source for tension. The game has a great way to have a coming of age. There are a deluge/flood of games that go in the other direction out there. Rare to have a "healthy" dynamic of a father/uncle/older guy and a son/etc these days. Its either dad is cucked or cucking a guy or "not around" tropes, which sucks, as it can really add something to a game.

I prefer focusing on the father's storyline.

I think father is necessary for domination path however if male domination path can be continued through son then i am ok with letting the father down

It is a complex dynamic. I was relieved to see that Nuko has genuine affection for Ichiro, and her Domination games are Playful, and a Tease. She clearly understands why He is attracted to Her! The father Daichi is more complicated. Nuko is attracted to him, because of his kindness, and his firm insistence that she was part of a Family, by her own Choice, and in NO way, anybody's Property. Nuko is playfully Domineering to Ichiro, and gently Submissive to Daichi, because she has found that both are genuinely attracted to Her, and it is clear that it is entirely Her Choice! Freedom of Choice is an entirely New Concept to her, and she is completely Oblivious. It would not even occur to Nuko that this could be a problem. She is an innocent Agent of CHAOS, a "friendly Hand Grenade!" This is a Looming Plot Complication that I would like to see. Daichi was likewise unaware of Nuko's interest, and likely did not develop an interest in Her, until he saw how she filled out his wife's Kimono. This is the time he would have also noticed Ichiro and Nuko's chemistry.

IF you do remove it... PLEASE let the dad smash the milf neighbor 🙏🏾 he deserves it

Aw man, people don't like the father's stuff? That's what I look forward to. But it is what it is I guess.
