L&P gets stuck.Totally agree.
This explains the high number of tasks (or at least seemed unnecessary and ridiculous from what I read in some posts).
Even if the primary reaction is to say, "How soon will I see all this ??", the number is once again aimed at slow corruption (I know, it has been said over and over again). Step by step, we get a lot more from someone.
For now, I can't imagine L&P not showing the upcoming tasks in scenes. Sophia hasn't told anyone about Aiden's blackmail yet, so she doesn't have anyone to confide in. And she knows talking about it could end it too. And if she enjoys it more and more, would she want to stop? Obviously, the woman knows that it is wrong, but she takes pleasure in it that she admits to herself more easily.
If he makes leaps in time, how to justify the progressions?
Who could Sophia tell what happened?
We should introduce a scene where she takes someone in on a specific topic (if we're just talking about Aiden's tasks, who might have the privilege of being the confidant? Alyssa? But she's involved because Zach is also concerned? Patricia? But she would bring in her lawyer husband)
So far L&P has not flashed back, except for the recall of the childhood of Dylan and Ellie.
He would introduce a new way of doing things, which would amount to creating an additional confidant search scene.
So we come back to the problem of additional scenes, so more renderings, so even more time.
And the critics will continue on this subject.
On the other hand, time jumps will create a mismatch between Sophia's corrupt progress and the other characters.
How to justify that the MC progresses on its own ?
L&P has created a progression that will not support a time ellipse with too much progress.
This is the trap of its constructed history.
It needs and must be developed in stages, despite the time it takes. And the quality of AWAM comes at this price.
