I don't mind Seymour in the game. He's the only older man whose looks are somewhat likable unlike those ugly bastards in FMC games. What I don't like is Seymour's character/personality.
He probably can be both depending on how far the game goes. There could be one path in which, especially if Lena rejects him (haven't tried that one yet) he basically ruins her life and the life of everybody she is close to like Ian, Emma and so on.
Or there might be a path on which he actually falls fully for Lena and she can start manipulating him for her own ends.
There is a lot of possibilities and ORS is one of the few games I would expect to fulfill at least some of them.
For what little it's worth, if you have Lena who is fully onboard with Seymour at this point but burns will point to stop his advances rather than escalate, she gains a wits point. This is even if she's single, so it's not matter of cheating. So it's seem that regardless how romantic the scene might be, not getting too involved with Seymour is deemed a smart thing to do.
At first I was reluctant to go Seymour's route on many of my playthroughs cause it just didn't gel well. Especially the ones I have Lena doing full Stalkfap as he would force Lena to delete her account. So I just used to collect the 10 moneys before breaking off her partnership with him. But with the recent update and new developments (like Seymour inviting Emma to open discourse), I've decided I can milk him for a lot more without really jeopardizing Lena's relationships

Oh my, Sir... What a gentleman, respecting a lady's wish. Poor Lena, her refusal will come back to bite her in the ass both literally and figuratively. Fuck it, I'm starting another playthrough.
All in all I'd say the Seymour route is still worth playing even if you don't fully go along with him (which I believe is the superior route) to spice things up a bit and add a few story beats. There is a version of this for my LenaxHolly run but the talk they had on the beach was not referenced but it seems that they are still not official...Disappointing...Hopefully after this trip they finally have the talk.

I almost fear Lena/Holly will drag on the whole story and end in an epilogue slide where Lena still wonders if what she's feeling for Holly might be more than a very super special awesome friendship...

I imagine it'll become an option after Seymour trip is done -- since Lena can be potentially free of relationship with Ian which was holding her back previously, and also done with her Seymour infatuation. So there's nothing left that'd make her drag her feet about making it official thing with Holly.

Probably. Given potentially a decision is pending whether he's going to be hired permanently, and the whole book competition thing, there's multiple points of leverage Seymour could use here.

If Ian and Lena are dating, I think it's pretty much a given what Seymour would demand from Ian. But if Lena is already full on Seymour's path or Ian and her are not dating, I'm curious what Seymour will demand from Ian. Perhaps something related to Emma or Perry, because of the election.
This whole thing is going to end with Lena and Ian fucking in front of Seymour,huh?
At least the people who wanted a cuck Seymour are going to get their wish.
Honestly, with Seymor getting so much love, I think it's only fair if you also get a chance to seriously screw him over, like getting him arrested or ruined or something. Team Up with Perry's Dad, Emma and everyone else.
It's bad enough that rich assholes get away with everything in real life, I don't need that in videogames as well.
On second thought, while I would really like such a storyline, the game probably already has more than enough open paths. Maybe better to focus on the porn.
