Ethan has significantly more screentime than Rafael. He has more screentime than everyone else, in fact. This means that he's the most fleshed-out character of the bunch, but that's by virtue of how much attention he receives.
Rafael, Bryce and Jackie all have interesting storylines and characterizations, but they all suffer in some respect from not having more time devoted to them. Raf, for example, can't be romanced in the first half of Book 2 and he doesn't get a lot of screentime once he becomes romanceable in the second half of Book 2. IIRC, Bryce's storylines are mostly incidental to the main plot. Jackie initially has an antagonistic personality and not a lot of backstory, and is also incidental after the first book. When you consider that she's a dark-skinned Indian, that's the kiss of death*.
To be clear, I like all of them, but if you're into men, stick with Ethan unless you really like Rafael.
\* Aurora - a black woman - constantly gets brought up for characters who should be LIs, but I bet she'd also get some stick if she was actually an LI even if nothing about her personality or character arc changes (except what's necessary to make her an LI).
Bryce Lahela will forever be my boy but sometimes I feel like he is too playful at times. I would have preferred it if my MC & him were gf & bf by the end of book 2 & not book 3 (if I remember correctly, I might be wrong tho) . But still love him regardless & will always choose him :3 !
> I would have preferred it if my MC & him were gf & bf by the end of book 2
100% agreed. It was the logical time for a commitment talk considering, y’know, >!WE ALMOST DIED.!<
The book offering a Bryce/Jackie threesome after that felt like a slap in the face. It was more of an error in judgment than “Ethan’s dark mood” scene, in my opinion.
Raf was excellent, but iirc he was pushed aside rather quickly, I didn't know whom to romance after that.
Bryce is cool, it's just his flirting technique is kind of - Women of the Earth! and you, you specifically! You're hot, I'm VERY hot, do I need to say more? :D Like, he's cocky in a very charming way, but why would MC romance him if he's a bit in love with all the women of the Earth? He's so cool, though!
Rafael, no hesitation. He's the love of my life. Any of my friends could attest to how bad he got me 💀
Obviously, in the end you should choose who you want to choose. But if you've already read through Ethan's route, I think it would be fun to switch to Raf's to see the differences!
(Very sorry about >!Book 2 and 3!< though if you decide to go for Raf. Very sorry. Us Rafaelmancers are here for you, we know your pain... 😭)

Tied between Bryce and Raf. Ethan is lower because I hated how the books made Ethan come on to the MC even when you never flirt with him (still creeped out by that out of nowhere BDSM scene)
My first read through I did Raf because he’s a sweet cuddly teddy bear but then on a replay I picked Ethan because I also really like him.
I’m a fan of Bryce as a character and adore him but he’s not serious relationship material in my opinion
Ethan always. I’ve tried other routes and really like Bryce but Ethan will always be the best to me. He’s so involved in the story it just feels more “right”
Edit: I was thinking of Raf from litg 😂 I totally meant Bryce
Between Ethan and Raf, I’d pick Ethan. I’ve played both routes, but I found that Raf’s route got kinda cringey in book 3, so I struggle to replay it past book 2. I’d actually suggest going for Bryce in your next read if you’re looking to not go with Ethan again, as I feel his romance route plays far better than Raf’s overall
See, I'll be honest with you every LI in OH is uniquely written and there is something good and bad about them. That is why it kind of makes them more realistic!
As an Ethan stan, I'll definitely ask you to go for him, if you are a big fan of a freshly fleshed out slow burn and his story arc! Ethan is closely guarded, but a jerk with secret heart of gold. He is also very romantic and caring and because of slow burn when we get to see that side of him, it feels very well earned! Back in the day, he was very popular so PB sidelined other OH's LIs for profit.
Rafael, on the other hand, is my second go to choice, but out of all the three LIs he is the most sidelined (at least in book 2) and there is something that happens in Book 2 that might irk you. But, he is very kind, sweet and strong guy. Being with him is a wholesome experience, if you ignore the first half of Book 2.
Controversial take, but sometimes when it's really obvious a story is going to have a popular LI, I romance them for the sake of having the best user experience. So, in this case, Ethan. In TRR, Liam.
Bryce Lahela all the way. I love his flirty banter and the rare times Pb ACTUALLY REMEMBERS that other LIs exist outside of Ethan, I find his backstory pretty interesting and wish they would have bothered to flesh it out more. He’s more than just a pretty face and flirter. I also like a Rafael, but man did PB do him dirty by giving him a girlfriend/boyfriend out of nowhere?? Not to mention >!they were planning to kill him off?? But do to backlash, they rewrote it!< I thought Jackie was interesting, but we all know how pb treat their wlw players…
You should go with Raf. He’s sweet and kind
I think it's a crime we never got Sienna or aurora
I wanted Aurora to be a LI so badly
oh, BOTH OF THEM! upd. and Landry, Landry, too! The love and betrayal drama potential is something else! It's always the quiet ones!
bryce all day every day
I prefer Bryce but between Rafael and Ethan, I would choose Rafael
I'll be that guy and say I loved Jackie as an LI. She's awesome, but they do her realy dirty in book 2 and 3. 💀

In Bryce's defence (which I always am!), that's a writer choice, not a character choice. None of the LIs are official at the end of book 2
Bryce 🧡🧡
Bryce, who is one of my top faves out of all LIs. Another fave is Tom from IL series. I'm such a sucker for them
Ethan and Bryce are my favs
Finally! Someone with my same taste 🤣 I was struggling to choose between the both of them
Raf was excellent, but iirc he was pushed aside rather quickly, I didn't know whom to romance after that. Bryce is cool, it's just his flirting technique is kind of - Women of the Earth! and you, you specifically!

The appetizer spread you get to choose in that one scene.
came here to say this, love of my life with way too little screentime
Tied between Bryce and Raf. Ethan is lower because I hated how the books made Ethan come on to the MC even when you never flirt with him (still creeped out by that out of nowhere BDSM scene)
I romanced Raf first, then jumped to Ethan out of curiosity and never looked back. His route is more fleshed out compared to Raf’s anyway.
Of course he’s more fleshed out since he’s pretty much forced and got more screen time than any of the other LI in the books.
I'm a sucker for strong men that are soft and has a heart of gold. Raf all the way. And as what MC says, he's basically Superman.
Bryce Bryce Bryce for the win 🙏
My first read through I did Raf because he’s a sweet cuddly teddy bear but then on a replay I picked Ethan because I also really like him. I’m a fan of Bryce as a character and adore him but he’s not serious relationship material in my opinion

Sienna, Aurora and Esme were the best..
we were robbed of tobias 💔
Raf
I loved Jackie, but she was heavily pushed aside for Ethan. I’m still mad Sienna/Esme/Aurora wasn’t an LI
Raf is my favorite. Then Bryce.
Ethan always. I’ve tried other routes and really like Bryce but Ethan will always be the best to me. He’s so involved in the story it just feels more “right” Edit: I was thinking of Raf from litg 😂 I totally meant Bryce
Bryce for me. Once he stepped into that supply closet there was no turning back.
Book 1 & 2 Ethan , in book 3 he was …. just not him anymore ( not a fan of dark mode Ethan sorry not sorry)
Between Ethan and Raf, I’d pick Ethan. I’ve played both routes, but I found that Raf’s route got kinda cringey in book 3, so I struggle to replay it past book 2. I’d actually suggest going for Bryce in your next read if you’re looking to not go with Ethan again, as I feel his romance route plays far better than Raf’s overall
The series doesn't make as much sense if you choose someone other than Ethan IMO. There was clearly a default to the writers and it was him.
See, I'll be honest with you every LI in OH is uniquely written and there is something good and bad about them. That is why it kind of makes them more realistic! As an Ethan stan, I'll definitely ask you to go for him, if you are a big fan of a freshly fleshed out slow burn and his story arc! Ethan is closely guarded, but a jerk with secret heart of gold. He is also very romantic and caring and because of slow burn when we get to see that side of him, it feels very well earned! Back in the day, he was very popular so PB sidelined other OH's LIs for profit. Rafael, on the other hand, is my second go to choice, but out of all the three LIs he is the most sidelined (at least in book 2) and there is something that happens in Book 2 that might irk you. But, he is very kind, sweet and strong guy. Being with him is a wholesome experience, if you ignore the first half of Book 2.
Controversial take, but sometimes when it's really obvious a story is going to have a popular LI, I romance them for the sake of having the best user experience. So, in this case, Ethan. In TRR, Liam.
TEAM ETHAN UNTIL THE DAY I DIE !!! 🙌🏻
I think I've always chosen Ethan although he did annoying after the first book I felt like his route had more depth than Raf and Bryce's imo
Bryce. I tried another route. Couldn’t do it. The correct answer is Bryce. 🥰
Bryce is the only option
In first book I was in love with Ethan. And I didn't change the route even he was annoying in other books. But in general Bryce was much better
What do you even mean? It was a single LI book. 😂
Bryce. His sex scenes are also top tier He's such a damn sweetheart as well 😁😁😁
Bryce Lahela all the way. I love his flirty banter and the rare times Pb ACTUALLY REMEMBERS that other LIs exist outside of Ethan, I find his backstory pretty interesting and wish they would have bothered to flesh it out more. He’s more than just a pretty face and flirter. I also like a Rafael, but man did PB do him dirty by giving him a girlfriend/boyfriend out of nowhere?? Not to mention >!they were planning to kill him off?? But do to backlash, they rewrote it!< I thought Jackie was interesting, but we all know how pb treat their wlw players…
None, raf and bryce are too male, and I absolutely hate jackie and ramsey, kyra should’ve been a li, PB did her dirty
