I appreciate the guide, and it helps a lot, but there has to be something else that gives points in feelings. Is it in the "Needs" information you have coming?
Is the guide okay ? Not too difficult to understand ? I tried to keep things simple, but that's not always easy.
Concerning "feelings", the page has about everything there is to know. The only other mean to alter a girl's feelings are during "events" : depending on the choice you made during the short ADV sequences (like the shower or toilet event), you will also lose or gain some feelings levels / points. But I believe the whole "Events System" needs its separate page, so I didn't include them here.
By the way, the "Needs System" is basically what trigger those events. Behind the scene, girls actually have needs (to pee, to shower, to rest, to fuck, or... to flee away from you) with levels ranging from 0 to 100. And depending on what you do (like coming on her body or the number of orgasms), those levels will rise. And trigger events.
So, if you want to get some shower event, you know what you need to do : drench the girl in semen every time you meet her and soon enough, you'll find her in the bathroom.
It's interesting to see that the mechanics are deeper than what they seem. In fact, they're a little bit
too complex for such a game. The way they manage the various girls characteristics feels like they're building a toolset that perfectly could be used to drive a simulation game from the
Artificial Series in the near future. In fact, they basically would only need to apply those calculation in real-time (at intervals) instead of having a "turn-based" system like in
Honey Select.
I say this, because according to the tables in the Feelings section linked, it should be impossible to get a character with both the Boyish/Tomboy and Lonely aspects to maximum Subordination (since you net -1 Subordination each time after they've already gotten the "purple smiley"). However, I have a character with those traits at maximum Subordination.
You're right. With a tomboyish and lonely girl, you should have a really hard time reaching the "Max Level Slave" state.
If you select her, she'll lose 1 subordination level / point thanks to her personality. And if you don't select her, she would still lose 1 point thanks to her trait. And once she reach "Slave State" (purple smiley), she won't earn new points whatever you do to her (netting -1 point, as you said).
Do you remember if you had to go through certain events to reach this "max level" state ? Can you sustain this state during many sessions, or does it go back to the standard no-red-text state after sexing the girl ?
