Personally, I really, really really didn't like Chris because I usually hate righteous characters. But I was curious since, despite my dislike of her, I thought she was a really cool character, so I played her route.
I was pleasantly surprised. Chris' best moments are when she shows weakness, and you get to see that a lot in her route, I personally really enjoyed it, and so far it's the one that I've enjoyed the most. I really grew to like her a lot, in fact, making her my third favorite character after Miyako-sama and Momo-sempai.
I did Momoyo -> Chris -> Yukie. Holding back on Wanko because I can't take her seriously enough due to the whole 'pet character' thing.
Concerning the offtopic discussions, they're mostly fine, but if it goes on for more than 2 pages, I think it's somewhat distracting, considering that a lot of people revisit this thread for updates as to when the patch is actually coming out. It's fine to talk about other things, I just don't think that this is the place.
Just my 2 cents
