Martial arts are made so you can and should knock anyone out even if they are hulk.
The techniques are mostly self defense and using the other”s body and strength against them.
The whole BS about bigger or stronger is BS in martial arts. Nobody would practice
if the bully is always winning because he is tougher.
When it comes to fighting, especially Martial Arts, superior fighting ability can even out the advantage that raw strength alone would normally give to a combatant. So although Axel and Mike might be physically stronger, it's not a forgone conclusion that either of them could defeat Ian, as he becomes more skilled. Only Jeremy, who has more strength and skill as a fighter, has a distinct advantage. Ian might be wary of say Axel and Mike because they're both physically stronger than him, but that doesn't mean that in an actual fight he couldn't beat both of them. Because they're only working out in the gym to get stronger, whereas he's specifically in training to be a fighter. The further this game goes on, the more likely it is that Ian will be able to knock Axel on his butt, if the need arises.

Holy is not a playable character so you do not get to see her scenes at all.

Corrupt Holly route where she balances her life as a writer and an OnlyFans creator.

Anyone have multiple route save files ? i have gotten a new PC since the last update and dont have anything saved lol
Eva changed the whole variable table so you will be locked outta scenes on speciffic routes.
Saves mean shit right now.

Axel is a jackass, there is nothing else to him. Stop throwing poor Lena to the wolves!
"it´s passable" ... gotta say this chapter was decent enough. Great art as always, but maybe slightly underwhelming in terms of story progression (which was supposedly the main focus?) for the 2 MCs, it felt more like a drawn out summary, a bunch of repetition (playing pool, playing a concert or going shopping for the 3rd to 5th time) plus just 1 or 2 extra scenes each. Maybe that´s just me having higher expectations because it´s been so long. I like that a couple more doors seem to open for Holly, also a bunch of new characters is a plus for me.

Kudos to the guy figuring out the scenes came from blacked. Now we just need Eva´s adaptation of the Lily Rader ones, if you know what I mean. ;)

Besides that, a couple more or less minor things I noticed in my playthroughs if anyone wants to relay them to the dev.

-there seems to be no way to praise Axel for the pictures he took, only the other 2 options are available, no matter what you do.
-there´s an error with the sprites during the Allison+Ian+Jeremy scene. In the living room Allison´s and Jeremy´s sprites appear twice. One of the Jeremy sprites is his MMA one, inlcuding headgear :ROFLMAO:
-when Lena is in her room remeniscing about the past few weeks she thinks/talks about having done/being ashamed of the photo shoot with Axel, even if you havent taken part in any photo shoot other than Stan´s.
-renpy error shows up at the last concert when Ian talks to Stan, no matter the choice you make
-another renpy error when when Ian meets Jess for coffee, also regardless of choice made.
If Lena is ashamed of the whole Axel photo shoot, you cannot praise the asshole for it, simple as that.

Players do not change the thoughts or the feelings of the protagonists.

Weight categories exists for a reason my dude.
Most of the time martial arts wont even help you with so called "bullies", that not the point of martial arts, some fat drunk guy can just hit you in the head with a pipe and you just instantly die, and no training would save you.

Excellent summary of what the update is about.

I've created a Gallery Unlocker for V10.0 Alpha. It's my first time doing this but it seems to be really easy.
Does it open all scenes? I'm installed another unlocker but part of the scenes still locked and game says "they will be open in beta version". Most funny thing - i'm opened some of this scenes during normal playground.
When you have the choice to work on a book or go to the gym, go to the gym. Perhaps we still need at least some glasses with Ivy, but I don’t know for sure about it.
Thanks(y)

not really with holly I love that cheracter and I think ian and holly are so cut together but I wish maybe eva gave us the option that lena and ian dont become friends as a option becasue this friend limitations will get boring/no drama or any interesting things in the future if you are together with holly you cant corrupt her all the sudden mark has no interest with holly(he dont seems like the guy that cares about a boyfriend or that gives up that fast) same with the rivale college from ian it would be not that hard to impliment because the scenes are already in game so the holly part makes me very sad :( :( :( becasue it seem like holly can only be corrupted if I let my ian be single and I guess cindy will probbe the same with axel dosent matter what we choose:(:(at least maybe with alison there will be a option if the outperformance has any effect on the future but we will seebut the holly/cindy part if together with ian makes me sad because i was so exited about ivy/axel influance on holly/cindy:(:(:(

I think the gallery itself is separate from the actual playthrough scenes, and the developer's team hasn't finished some of the gallery coding for the alpha.

When you think about it, she could become very popular thanks to her fame as a hot new best-selling author. Remember how crazy everyone got when Belle Delphine started doing porn? And then forgot about her real fast after that... Yeah, best Holly avoids stalkfap lol. It would probably kill hype around her both as a hot girl and as an author once everyone has seen her nudes.

My general takeaway is that this chapter isn't that focused on advancing the story forward, as there was a lot of that in Chapter 9. Instead, it fills in the details, consequences, and payoff of the major choices you've made up to this point, letting dramatic tensions simmer and foreshadowing events to come. Maybe that's why the chapter is titled "The Path We Follow".

Although some dramatic things do happen (see Axel at the club, etc.)
