I have some suggestions on the pacing for Kate's story. I am well aware that many players much prefer Max's story for preferential reasons. My issue is the difference in pacing.
1. When going through to get the punishments it is a crap shoot on if you can get a punishment. There should be an option at a certain point in her "progression" to purposely get caught as that is her goal especially during 2 teachers' progressions one for the vote on in class punishment and then again with Karen's progression.
2. After unlocking in home punishments and the gym opening things really slow down as there is no option to say go to the gym when Julia is not at home and request a punishment so that is like 3 days out of the week (not including weekends) that stall progression that have to do with the in home punishments.
3. Trying to unlock all the scenes at the villa is a bit annoying as when you sleep in some places there is no auto save in the new location. I know it didn't save for me at the villa but not sure if that happened at the apartment.
I think that the overall story is "OK" I just think engagement would be drastically improved by tweaking some pacing points making it less dependent on random events, especially when the plot and character progression would mean she would purposely get caught or in the case of the commando situation she would be a little more of an exhibitionist to provoke said issues.
Just my two cents.
I am about to rebuild a new PC (parts come in the next couple of days) and I don't think I can stomach doing this again (which is my 4th time) without some pacing fixes or the ability to export a save for use on another PC.
