I think that we are saying the same thing. My point was purely that it is to be expected that EK would slow down the writing as the story develops, because she has to make decisions about how she wants to steer the story - she doesn't have all the options she had earlier, because the story has precluded some options on various paths.I wouldn't drastically separate the 2 stages and say that we're moving to resolutions. Act 1 is over or almost over, transitioning into Act 2, where the buildup that happened in Act 1 picks up the pace and moves into the different juicy scenarios. There will still be build-up but instead of "unlocking" love interests the game will focus on character development, not only of protagonists but NPC characters as well. (snip) But yeah I doubt the story will continue its slow-burn build-up speed, that stage has been passed. Now the events have to play at a more rapid pace, but I hope Act 3 won't speed up even more, turning into mindless fuck-fest like it was in GGGB. And hopefully with more time spent on the writing, that will be avoided.
The argument that I was countering was that she was slow because she was slow delivering the latest update because she needed "a more reasonable work schedule instead of a [sic] erratic one" and that "if she has a pattern and a deadline she puts on herself, that can probably alleviate these problems." I don't believe at all that those ideas are the reason or the answer.
