Who the hell gives a shit about Ian's work. The guy can fuck most of the female cast even when having a job not considered glamorous. His work, like Lena's, is there to give him some money and to tie him up with seymour's story not to make him cool.

But to create a game like this where all of the work of being writer is totally separate from the game play is the issue. Lena's work as a model is directly related to her game play. This is not the case for Ian.
Can you explain why you think Lena's work is directly related to her game play but Ian's isn't, when their respective works both tie them to other characters, most notably Seymour and, in case of Ian, Holly?

Hey Guys, Ive enjoyed the debates.

Im going to do my best to not come back for a year or something. I have some interest in the Billy beach party trip but I just can't stomach the drip feed release and at this point it might be a year until that comes out.

will look forward to seeing you all in the 4000-5000
Try two years. We are going to get Lena back home with some ian sprinkled in for this chapter, likely wrapping at some point late summer. Then a chapter for mostly ian, likely wrapping spring/summer ‘26. Then likely the beach event. That chapter might wrap in 2027!

The previous chapter plus this recent start of of chapter 13 took just about a year.

Because it's bad storytelling. and the game is languishing.

Women can have shitty jobs and have men pursue them.

Men do not get this luxury.

Further, my issue isn't just that he is writer, it's that that specific profession, to engage as a writer, pulls away from the rest of the engagement of the story. It's a FUNCTIONAL argument.

A sci fi writer can be a catch, have women date them, sure. But to create a game like this where all of the work of being writer is totally separate from the game play is the issue. Lena's work as a model is directly related to her game play. This is not the case for Ian.
Stop consuming so much wattpad stories and bottom g content. They altered your perception of reality so much, you're in a thread on a porn game site complaining about the work of a fictional character.:KEK:

Think the recent updates typify the problem that this game has too many characters to keep track of, especially when so many of them seem to be functionally the same trope.

Stan, Robert, and Perry are basically all Nice Guys, but one is potentially more interesting because of the "redemption" stuff. Seymour and Axel are both the same "dom photographer" character except the latter is far, far more interesting because of the history with Lena. Cindy and Holly are basically just Lena with different hair colours but you don't play as them (i.e. sweet love options or "fallen angels").

There's enough character traits and writing quality to have 6 or 7 really good characters but instead we have closing on two dozen now and the result is most are threadbare, lesser versions of others, or just plain forgettable.

And related to this I think it's clear EK is struggling to allow routes to work with stats, hence why there's now a "cheat" version where they just don't matter because otherwise exploring different routes is a ballache as you try to remember the 50 or so minor buttons to press to hit an arbitrary stat level.

I'm hoping when we do jump back to Ian in this chapter, we get more content with the non beach trip girls. I want some Cindy, Alison, Louise, Ivy, and Gillian content and progresion. I also wouldn't mind Lena and holly throuple stuff.
You shouldn't get your hopes up though. Ian will get a POV shift in chapter 13 but it'll be mostly a short one, something similar to Lena's pov in ch 12, although it'll probably advance some of his storylines, don't expect it to be content heavy.

The amount of Cindy content in the last updates is hilarious, considering how she's the most popular girl bar none.

She had almost a full chapter and a half dedicated almost exclusively to her storyline before this last chapter, and there was two not insignificant scenes with her in this chapter too. Perhaps pay a little more attention before you complain about one of the most prominent characters not getting enough screen time?

Ian fans after getting a whole year of that dwarf content "WE WANT MORE :mad: "
I have to ask, you keep you using that word, instead of, say, midget, gnome or a stumpy. What exactly is at the source of this animosity? Is there a secret war between Scandinavian nations and some rogue dwarven kingdom going on, hidden from the world at large? Do the Duergar continue opening portals from beneath the earth, threatening the sanctity of King Harald's final resting place?

Do you have proof it will be similar to lena in ch.12? It could be a decent sized one, no one knows except eva.
