Just My Thoughts on the Game
I don't really have anyone to talk to about the game, but having caught up to date, I wanted to give my thoughts as a whole and if anyone wants, give their likes, dislikes, and what they'd change/improve.
PROS:
MCs and Rose's storylines are quite good.
Rose as a whole is a good character, and I like even after Rose and MC resolve their issues, she still keeps a lot of her traits like being direct, sarcastic, and impulsive. A lot of stories don't get that right, so it's nice to see that.
Most of the side characters, LIs, and villains are entertaining enough.
WHAT I WOULD CHANGE:
Give the option of skipping up to 3/5 items every episode. There are sometimes that certain makeup doesn't look good (my MC is black and many times all the blush options look terrible on darker skin) or the accessories look straight tacky. This would also be a way to save gems because you're forced to do every option.
Allow us to lock in romances. This is the biggest annoyance for me because it's giving an illusion of choice when there isn't any. There were "special episodes" in season 4 that featured dates with the LIs, which I thought would be optional, but no. You still had to play all of them and use the gems even on LIs you might not be into. Even if you don't care for certain LIs and attempted to friendzone them, the game forces you into romantic interactions with them. There is a major plot point in season 5 with an LI that my friend does not like but would be forced to play through as if she is into the LI. What I think would be better is the option to lock in a romance then it unlocks certain "special seasons" that features the LI heavy plot point. Then it makes sense for the MC to be in the situation and reacting the way she is because MC chose that LI, it's not just happening to her.
