First of all, I have never heard of a son setting up his mother through stupidity in the manner that it is written. I would disagree that it was his strongest idea, as it was executed poorly. Maybe it could have been played out differently if the twist was executed towards the end of the story, but it's my understanding is that the twist would have remained hidden, and only came to light if Dylan was sent to boarding school. This is along the line of setting her up for good intentions, which leads to Dylan being involved with indirect blackmail, as he was the one who caused it in the first place.
No, Dylan did not assume he was a school bully. Dylan knew who Aiden was and his background.

Aiden was more than a bully. When Sophia goes to the police and finds out about Aiden's background, his background was elevated from a bully to a criminal. If L&P was going to write him as a bully, he should have omitted the criminal background part from Aiden. That is like calling Don Morello a fair and honorable businessman.
And after the classroom scene with Aiden, Andre, and Jennifer, I would have to say Aiden clearly fits the description of a sociopath criminal if you consider what he is doing with Sophia and what he did with Jennifer. Jennifer was subject to both Blackmail and Rape, and Aiden was completely fine with it. That is sociopath behavior.HZjujk Quote: On the main route so the statement of L&P this betrayal of Dylan to his mother should not play a role any more.
Sorry, but that would be incorrect. For Example: If Person A talked to Person B about robbing a cash dispenser, and Person B robs the cash dispenser but decides to rob person C too, however, he ends up getting shot by person C to stop him and injures him. Person A would be responsible for Person B getting shot because he conspired with him to rob the cash dispenser, which he knew was wrong in the first place. If Person A never spoke with Person B, then Person C would have never shot Person B.
That is the same thing with Dylan and Aiden. Dylan knew who Aiden and Uncle were, but he approached and conspired with Aiden to make the deal. But Aiden took the deal further and acted on his own, and applied the twelve tasks rule to Sophia. Although Dylan didn't know about the twelve tasks, he is indirectly responsible for them because he's the one who planned and approached Aiden.
Just because Aiden injected the twelve tasks into the deal without Dylan's knowledge doesn't absolve Dylan of any responsibility for Aiden's actions.
Dylan wasn't a loser per se, The author said he excelled at sports, soccer, and computers. The problem the author said Dylan has is approaching and talking to women, and his class. If Dylan was a loser then saying that he excelled at sports and computer literacy is moot and should have never been written in the novel.
The "sadistic character trait of Aiden in the last two updates." takes me back to my other comment on sociopath behavior.
Maybe there was more to the twist, I don't know. But in the manner it was executed, it made no sense at all. There were no hints or anything in the story at that time, and even now, to suggest a "Mid-Life" crisis. And to have Dylan try to justify his actions as seeing a "Mid-Life" with Sophia had me scratching my head and trying to figure out what he was talking about in the story.
So this brings me back to my point that "The Twist" was executed poorly.
The twist may have worked with better story planning, but who knows. I couldn't tell you because he continues to change his script. But because he executed "The Twist," in my opinion at the wrong time, I believe it was the right call to remove it. And I agree that he would have to admit to making a mistake, which he doesn't do at all.
