I think that ending ORS on 15/16 makes sense considering state of game as of ch.11. Both Ian and Lena can have 8/10 in main stats, and 4,5 chapters to go is good way to max those. For Ian book constest is ending, and mma tournament is starting so it's not like he has lot things to do now. Lena will have music contest soon, and need to resolve Seymor situation, wchich regardless of choices kinda feels for me like a drag.
Even when I think about Ian's main love interests there's feeling that there is not a lot more to say :
- Ian and Lena are now fully in love and commited; They need to resolve things staded above and start living together
- Ian and Cherry are now ready to start their relationship
- Ian and Cindy after she decided to take a break from Wade probably by ch.13 will start date Ian openly
- Ian and Emma; This is the only main Li where we don't how if it will end as simple hookup or something more
- Alison is ready for Ian from ch.1 so there's nothing else to add
- Holly is now a lot more sociable person and just waiting for Ian to fully commit
As of additional Li only bad Jess have chance to have more advanced relations with Ian. Gillian, good Jess, Nat and Ivy will probably get one scene like Louise or nothing at all.
Most of chapter 13 will take place at beach house, which I think will be cumulative point of the story. Relations like Ian/Lena/Holly throuple, Ian/Cindy affair, Ian/Emma will be resolved. Ian will move out of Perry's apartament (in Cherry route he states that he's ready to find his own place) on his own or will be forced because of his close relations to Emma/Cindy. After that EK will start to wrap things up.
In the end Perry will be finally free to give Wade priceless relationship advice after Cindy dumps him, and of course to fantasize about his one true love .
