In this episode the places where you should be able to make decisions are skipped and you're just forced to go along with whatever the dev has decided as necessary for the plot.
Except that she's meeker in this chapter than she was in the previous chapters. As laid out by my comment above. In spoilers of course. There are several events in the previous chapters where Ashe can choose a more dom option.
I was afraid something like this might happen. From how things seemed to be leaning, the poll, and some of the views expressed, it looked like the Siren path was going to be underserved.
It would be perfectly fine with me if, after going through the initial choices, you get to the path choice and then your choices going forward are drastically limited.
The idea being that once you have chosen to be on a particular path, the story you will see is based upon that choice. However, in order for that to work, there has to be content in each path that is true to that path.
The problem, as you pointed out, is that anything but the Kitten path lacks development, despite it only being 7% higher than the Siren path in the poll.
Considering how big a deal was made out of the choice of separate paths, there should be an equal amount of relevant story for each, and it should be distinct.
Otherwise, the dev may as well declare that the Kitten path is the canon/main route, and that there will be smaller side content for Siren and Cuckquean.
Basically eliminating the importance of the path choice, since that's how it appears right now anyway. That would, of course, be perfectly okay, as long as it was made clear that was the intent.
That way people who are not interested in submissive content, or people who want more agency over their choices and impact to the path they choose, won't feel disappointed or that they are wasting their time.
Oh well, guess we'll see in an update or two if the Siren route improves. Perhaps this update was simply focused more on the Kitten route, and in future updates we'll get something more for the other paths.
If not, then I suppose this project isn't for people who prefer to be dominant vs submissive, and it will be time to move on.
Time will tell.
