You raise some good points. When I first played I loved the Ian, Lena and Holly characters and how the Lena and Ian story arc progressed. Since then I have come back to the game and started exploring paths I hadn't explored before like Alison/Ian and slutty Lena path. I found myself less enamoured with Lena after exploring her darker paths. I found her bitchy at times and hypocritical on some of the paths. So I am struggling to stay engaged with her character.In fairness, a Lena solo game would also include a npc Ian who would probably be more of a squarely good guy, struggling with his ex-girlfriend cheating on him, and struggling with his artistic pursuits. He'd be a natural foil to Mike, where instead of being the corrupting influence, Lena could be a supportive influence.
I generally think that Lena is more popular though because players like to see her corrupted. Ian's story is very much about bettering himself, but there's no one really trying to bring him down or make him fall. Maybe Axel or Seymour will become that to him, but even then, it's based on their relationship to Lena. If Ian ends up as mediocre as he started, it's due to his own lack of commitment. The closest corruption I can think of is the Cindy path, but no one is really encouraging him to make those choices and Cindy even tries to distance herself from him.
Conversely, Lena actually has forces working against her to try and make her submit to her or influence her. Axel, Seymour, and even Ivy are all trying to push and pull Lena in various directions that many would consider to make her less good as a person. Even if the characters in Ian's story are more interesting, there's very little conflict or drama in that path, outside of the Cindy/Wade situation, the Minerva job situation or what Lena herself introduces to his story. I'm interested by the involvement of Gillian though, because that does seem like it might introduce more conflict and drama for Ian's side of the story.

This is a wild definition of "final"Dev mentioned some scenes in ch11 will be 'expanded' in the epilogue.
The way i understand it is :
beta : bug fixes
full : refinement (more dialogue/new little details)
epilogue : chapter ending + new scenes
I did this route and ended up having sex with Holly. She and Ian broke up but they have some lingering feelings for each other. Ian and Holly became a couple but also Holly have a crush on Lena as well.Ending 95% likely; scenes not yet; route shaping up is reflected through dialogue by the End of current version.

Solo Lena game would be simply Lena rolling around with random combinations of Mike, Axel, Seymour, Jeremy and Robert. Oh, and Ivy and Holly. I mean, if that's your thing, that's fine, but, eh.A Lena solo game would be perfect
Beach update, don't expect it any time soon tho.Yall know what chapter 12 will be about
It´s no longer needed. Start new game, choose cheat mode, game will ask if you want to unlock complete gallery. Type yes, skip prologue, make a save, exit to main -> voilá!There was a gallery unlock on the first page, it's gone now. I assume it no longer works?
More like the prized tourney event WE HAVE BEEN WAIT YEARS FUCKING FOR.Beach update, don't expect it any time soon tho.
And Ian, as the nice guy NPC. Seeing the poll result, it's the thing of a lot of peopleSolo Lena game would be simply Lena rolling around with random combinations of Mike, Axel, Seymour, Jeremy and Robert. Oh, and Ivy and Holly. I mean, if that's your thing, that's fine, but, eh.
I have to mention this that in final update If Ian is on Chad route as specified above than the variable is no longer changed from ian_lena_love=False to True automatically It is only set to true IF IAN OPEN UP WITH LENA when she returns from her home trip. Everything else is same as above mentioned.SURPRISE EVERYONE!
In in-game built cheat mode if Ian is going Chad mode and in Ch9 he didn't choose to be couple with Lena. Later in Ch11 after having sex in living room with Lena when Ian went to His room His status is changed from ian_lena_love=False to True automatically SO IAN IS IN LOVE WITH LENA THEY ARE STILL NOT A COUPLE. Remember ian_lena_couple=false is still false, only ian_lena_love variable is set to TRUE. All these dialogues were new too.
In this playthrough Lena was in Love with Ian but Ian was not, they kept things casual and while having sex with Lena where you have to choose tell Ian I love you or choke IF I select former I get this one.

I wonder can you do this in Holly routeI have to mention this that in final update If Ian is on Chad route as specified above than the variable is no longer changed from ian_lena_love=False to True automatically It is only set to true IF IAN OPEN UP WITH LENA when she returns from her home trip. Everything else is same as above mentioned.
Means Ian now choses if he wants to love Lena or not in Chad route
