After the final of the Acting Lessons, DPC was threatened with murder. And now he has about 15,000 active patrons. I understand that he wants to stand out from the general adult novels with his unexpected plot twists (which are more and more similar to the plot tropes from anime, lol), but I don't think he will repeat his mistake. Indeed, Maya's breakdown makes sense. Suppose Josie leaves her for MC (if we follow Josie's path, then Maya moves further and further away from MC, and Josie falls in love more and more), then Maya can really break down. She loses everything she fought with her father for. But so that she could commit suicide. And at such an early stage? It is assumed that the breakup will be only in the finale of the 3rd season.
I don´t know, man. Most of the time I think that DPC is not going to repeat the ending of AL that nobody liked, and I have written here comments saying that. But truth is, DPC seems to have an uncanny love for drama. He has set a lot of situations in this plot that can´t be easily solved and seems to be preparing us for a shitstorm the lasts chapters. Actually, it would be disappointing that situations as rotten as the one of Quinn and Burke, with prostitution of underaged students and drugs traffic, or the one of Bella and her missing husband, at the end become in a storm into a glass of water. It would be much ado for nothing.
Even if Tremolo has a magic cock and a golden heart, he´s not Superman, can´t save everybody. It would be absurd. Maybe Tremolo´s decissions could save, at the end, the Li of his choice, but won´t save the others from their fates. That way the player could think "well, at least I saved my girl, I have a good ending, can´t complain".
And maybe Quinn is beyond salvation, and that´s the reason why she´s not an "official" Li. She´s like Tony Soprano, a character that most of us would like to have as a friend and share some beers with him... until he starts killing people. Quinn is pretty and hot, has and attractive personality, so we usually forget that she´s a actually an awful person. But she´s a prostitute that at the same time is pimping her friends (most of them aren´t even 21 years old), and selling drugs. Her actions have damaged badly Mona and she doesn´t care if damages others, like Maya. And being Burke´s partner in crime, she´s going to damage for sure her mentor at the HOTs and probably her only true friend, Sage. Truth is, she deserves to be in jail and the ending of the game. I only hope she doesn´t end up killed.
