That seems to be the optimal path right now but I wonder if rejecting the third book might have any repercusion with Victor as the author works for his magazine. It might make Victor see Ian as a sellout (which he is if he focus on career advancement) and he is a member of the jury for the book contest.

Why? I want my Lena and Holly to have their fun without Ian being required.
Those options receive the best feedback from her (and Clark) during the next chapter. Second best feedback is if you approve second and fourth without rejecting first and/or third. Worst feedback is any other option.

Nah no inside scoop. You get a dialogue variation with Nat, when she comes to visit Ian and Clark for the book reviews.

Exactly. The publisher can still reject it, but it isn't the author's first book. Sci-fi is a bit more rare these days, so a high quality one could dominate it's section of the market. And, as I said, get a movie or tv deal. I think it's got good reasons to go up there. Book 1 has no merit, 2 is popular but no critical heft, 3 is brilliant but less appeal, and 4 has both.
It seems like we could getting points for the magazine and points for Victor (if he can hear about it). And 2 happy recommendations with one they are borderline on is still a pass, in my book.
I am curious how many factors will go into the book contest. The book itself can hit 8 points, I believe. Seymour and Minerva can both put their thumbs on the scale (probably), and Victor might be able to recognise Ian's prose. I wonder if Emma's drug could have a secret + to it somehow?
You a beta tester?
How can you not reject a book? I thought it was binary, approve or reject all 4 books.
I may just be tired, but I'm not following what you're saying.
The decisions to reject or pass a book further is done on case by case basis. You make separate decision for each of them.
I think what they meant is that you approve 2&4 and also any combination of 1&3 then it's a middling outcome. But if you reject 2 and/or 4, then you messed up.

Gotcha. That's much clearer to my foggy brain.
Most of my playthroughs I default to an idealistic Ian, but I may need to go back and tweak a couple of his more amoral runs and sell-out harder! /s
nah keep the ideal ian,don t let him drag u with him lol
Basically this. Although after this discussion, I wonder if maximizing book_points might be a red herring. It means the book is good literature but it might not necessarily mean the book is good from a publisher's perspective. For example, if you choose to write a sci-fi book, a metaphysical love story is the better option for book_points but doesn't sound like something very popular for a mainstream audience. Same thing with the "choosen one" option using deterministic physics. It sounds like a book with the same "faults" as the third book Ian reviews.

It may be. There's a good chance whatever Lena's situation with Seymour will trump everything else, which would be shitty but accurate. I hope Victor steps up in those cases, and Ian can still get published, just on a smaller scale.
We're really close to some major climaxes of the story. Tournament, photoshoot, possible promotion, battle of the bands, book contest, living situation.
Shit, that's what, ~3+ more years of development? And that's glossing over all the relationship stuff, which will be woven in.
I think it's probably bit different if the score allows your book to win the competition -- this alone can cause wider public interest, and the publisher is going to be interested with such advantage, regardless if the story isn't the most convenient, generic pulp.

So drastic....Ivy-death-> yay or nay?be honest!
But yay, on her own I don´t really need her either.
Bonus points if she dies in a car crash with passenger Robert, while running over Stan.
I´ll take an all slut Ian-Holly-Gillian trinity instead.
I still have my Ivy playthrough in solidarity with SerHawkes, but I do miss Ivy being the slut with the heart of gold. Back when she could see Wade for who he was / could be rather than who he currently is and she held a soft spot for Perry's stutter. Ivy has certainly taken on the roll of a manipulator recently with how she was talking with Ian about Cindy, how she treats Holly and sometimes Lena, and the implication of setting Lena up with Axel. Those recent changes have soured me a bit on her as a person. As a character she's more interesting I guess.Ivy-death-> yay or nay?be honest!
