God this is still the same routine again again and again. Dennis the "everpresent threat" (what a joke lol), MC almost getting cucked in a cliffhanger scene (players being riled up, at least some), update comes, nothing really happens actually (riled up ones calm down), MC being a doormat after finding out what happens, yada yada yada. Making a loop out of this for versions now is the absolute height of having no real ideas about filling the story with meaningful content, heck, even the ones that were supposed to be that didn't work because the absolute lack of quality in writing.
