I'm just getting started lads.

So as previously stated, suggestion may increase or decrease your relationship with characters.
You have two "bars" of relationship that fill up to 120 points. The friendship bar and the romantic bar.

Each time you do a suggestion, if it succeeds you gain points toward each type of relationship.
Now this is where it requires a bit more of attention.
**You have your relationship points towards a character, and said character has relationship points towards you which are independent to yours**

What this means is, if your suggestion fails, in most cases, you will win relationship points *with respect to that character*, but that character will lose relationship points *with respect to you*.

This means that if you keep talking to a character and this character constantly refuses your suggestions, your relationship bar will increase to maximum (which means you're crazy in love with this character), but the character will decrease her relationship to you to minimum (full hatred).

This is what the game calls "one-sided love".

And as explained before, you are not special. All characters are bound by this rule as well, which means each character has friendship points and romantic points established towards each other, and this is completely away from your control.

Characters fall in love with each other, they make rivalries, they become friends and help each other in their work.

As this game is AI driven, it's very common for a character to walk up to you and use their suggestions on you.

New suggestions (and battle skills as well) unlock if you increase your relationship with a character after certain level. Usually it also triggers their events. Each character has their own arc, and their own events which further moves the plot forward, and reveals more of the setting.

Another thing that impacts a lot of the games mechanics is the "atmosphere" mechanic, which impacts the success rate of suggestion as well.
