Even though he's kind pushing this do one route at a time thing, with Owen being first), I can't help but notice the first 8 days in isolation seem super obvious:
Sissel+MC is paired off. Owen eventually gets with Phillip or get nothing. Girl is ??? with Philip (if he's straight?!).
More importantly, I am sorta...IDK upset about some of the Owen revelations.

Apparently Sissel and Owen were thing. It's not clear how much they were romantically involved, but the relationship is upsetting because I liked the idea of MC coming onto Sissel who is inexperienced and cute. However, it also makes the sex scenes before day 9 seem like a bad idea for Owen's route. Perhaps Sissel as well even though they are the only two you could pair off with so far.
Owen's replacement of sexual favors for actual meaningful contact demonstrates his inner problems. Phillip seems like the best choice for him because Phillip doesn't seem overly interested in sex, gives him the tough love he needs, and is someone whom Owen shows enough interest for Owen to grow as a person and work to better himself.
However, if your job on his route is to help him grow and get a better ending, the Owen sex scene is counter productive in playing the role Owen needs. A relate-able, easy-going, "you're a good guy, but this is over the top" attitude (which MC does when you tell'em to pull up his shorts) is better for him. If Shiro wants to be a serious ass, the Owen fan's best ending is probably something obscure and counter-intuitive like
Watch Owen in shower, then NOT have public, oral fun with him But, I'm just guessing.
In any case, Sissel is best. Bite me.
