If no one else will say it, I will.
This was a weak, weak update.
I agree
The story doesn't move forward IMO at all
I have to say the MC went from likable to weak POS (this is more on the Dev than the MC himself)
The MC gets jumped (if the MC is with Alexis she is threatened along with Elyrnn)
The MC does nothing and is sitting on his computer playing games.
The MC doesn't involve the authorities, he doesn't get Alexis and Elyrn together and tell them what is going on, doesn't tell Melissa or his mom anything, yep just is sitting upstairs playing on the computer without a care in the world (the MC knew about Elyrnn working, didn't offer to go with her, check in on her, nope, just let her go to work after everything that had happened) and then has a bad feeling about something bad happened to Elyrnn? No shit.
When Melissa asks the MC to go check some bars and clubs but, doesn't go with the MC?
Come on, the police would be called (yes, I know it's not 24 hours, and many departments will not put in a missing person report until then) but Melissa would be with the MC, along with the MC's mom, and Alexis (and her entire family)
The MC doesn't say at that time, Melissa there is something going on and I am worried....and tells her about Ethan. Nope.
She would be pissed but the police would 100% get involved at that point, nope they ask an 18-year-old kid to go find her.
A weak update is an understatement.
