LLDH

Four independent axis of statistics, Love, Like, Dislike, and Hate (LLDH), are tracked per character towards every other. Their value change as the game goes on.

Like are probably better understood as FriendZone. ¹³

Effects of LLDH

Main factor that determines type and frequency of interactions initiated towards others, success rate of interactions, and reaction to witnessing events. Including,

NPCs seek to interact with character they hold (Love + Like) > (Dislike + Hate). Those are sometimes seen hanging around PC or peeking through doors. ¹⁰
NPCs avoid character they hold (Dislike + Hate) > (Love + Like). ¹⁰
Having nothing but Dislike makes the NPC unwilling to even chat. ¹¹
NPC running away after sex with PC in Private Room suggests high Love with another NPC ¹²

Checking current LLDH

Save editors e.g. the AA2QtEdit.exe included in MiniPPX (modern installation)
See realtime change with InfoSpy card module (under Global or PC mods folder) by BudgetPro⁹

In AA2QtEdit.exe

Under Play Data tab > ACTION_BACKLOG. There are four X_POINTS and four X_COUNT, where X is LOVE, LIKE, DISLIKE, or HATE.
X_POINTS and X_COUNT works similar to a base-30 numeral system, that is, 30 X_POINTS = 1 X_COUNT
The total of the four X_COUNT caps at 30. The game keeps track of addition history, for each new addition accepted, the oldest is discarded.
Effect is tiered into three levels 0-10, 11-20, and 21-30 X_COUNT , corresponding to Verylittle, Some, and Lots X_STATUS.
Fans often refer to X_COUNT as Love, Like, Dislike, Hate; the last two tiers moderate, max
What exactly fans are referring to as e.g. "love point" depends heavily on context.

Factors affecting LLDH

NPC->PC

See Interactions, Rumors, Events
Ahegao, or Sexual preferences met in H-scene increases both's Love.
Mystery mechanic (MM) ⁵^{, 6}^{, 7}
First day boost ⁸

PC->NPC

PC->NPC opinion is affected by,

PC->NPC interactions but not NPC's reaction (e.g. failed PC->NPC contact interaction increases PC->NPC Love even if it decreases NPC->PC Love ),
Replies to NPC.

Statuses

Stats screen

Status refers to thought bubble shown on the stats screen. PC->NPC thoughts are hidden.

Don't Know indicates LLDH total < 30. First impression (rid of Don't Know) may require > 10 interactions. Often happens even after excessive successful Chat with opposite-sex Homo Orientation NPC when those gain 0 Like (and 0 other LLDH too). The same goes for same-sex Hetero. See Card editor

Each character holds up to 4 statuses towards any other character, but only one is displayed each time opening the stats screen. Open the screen multiple times to see them all.

There are 61 different statuses, some are exclusive to teacher-student relationships, some character Trait. Generally speaking,

White statuses indicate 1. no strong feelings or 2. Dislike.
Greenstatuses indicate Like and ▲success rates of friendly interactions.
Pinkstatuses indicate Love and ▲success rates of romantic/erotic interactions.
Yellow statuses are related to mood.
Orange statuses are teacher-student specific
Bluestatuses indicate Hate and ▼ success rates of all interactions.
Purple statuses are related to Force interaction.
Red statuses indicate conflict with the other character.

Corrections

LLDH was previously collectively referred to as Favorability, possibly translation of 好感度. This implied single axis stat, and resulted in unfavorable ambiguous content such as "increase favorability".

These previously suggested on this page does not reflect MiniPPX (modern installation),

"Lewd Promise ... On the examination day, either the girl approaches you or you may also ask her having sex with you so to trigger the promise."
"Sex friend" status: H occurred and there is moderate Like
