The content is admittedly more engaging in general, but there is less content.
The scenes with the landlady at the hospital were either omitted or ruined, and she has been nothing but a segue character so far that... already sucked MC's face somehow?
I guess the tension is gone, despite never having even begun, until it comes back with the "racetrack".
But yeah lots of missing companionship and Speech Checks; there's no 'it's okay if you stay', and there's always someone else right around the corner.
But yeah, the content is pretty gripping for anyone except for the landlady who blushes at the thought of having taken that big black cock.
