That’s fair, and I’m definitely aware of the issue. I spoke at length to my patrons about how this update had become kind of a problem child. Too many options, too many results, etc. I need to remember just because I can, doesn’t mean I should. :’D
But, by the end of this update, we’ve moved towards a more streamlined world. Dark Path Nicki and Viola are gone, whether MC knows it or not. Friend path Ashe is now firmly friend or on a romance path, so there won’t be any waffling back and forth.
But, next update I’m going to try testing out a simpler, more streamlined update. The big hurdle is going to be the opening scenes, since there’s a few planned:
Wake up in Nicki’s apartment: full love, full dark, and everything else
Wake up in the condo office, with Ashe sleeping upstairs or not
Wake up with Ashe, love path
Wake up with Ashe, drugged path
Wake up alone
But after that, it should be fairly streamlined: buy Mason glasses, visit Alex’s gym, run an errand with Risa, and go bail out Gabby’s dad. Might be a little light on sexual content, but I’ll see what I can do on that front.
Still, I totally get and appreciate the concern. This one really did get away from me, so I’m going to try to learn some lessons from it.
