why couldn't she? Okay, she shoplifted some clothes, sure, but she isn't the first and won't be the last person to do that. Happens. It's not like she murdered someone. Just to drop her because of that is silly. The whole mafia bullshit isn't her fault (it's the dev's
).
Not even Potter did 7 years, and MC is gifted, probably some isekai shit or something like that. I bet he can pull it off in 3 years. Also it's not like he goes to school for an actual job. He has a nationwide crime empire to rule after all. What does he care for a magical diploma?
Your story sounds already more interesting than the crime nonsense
The little 12 year old serial shitter is a 102 years old shaolin monk in disguise and uses a forbidden cultivation technique to destroy all of the MC's chakras using the chi in MC's bodyYour story sounds already more interesting than the crime nonsense
Can already imagine our MC as successor of "He who must not be named", running his world wide crime empire, feared by all...and then some 12y old little shit comes along and continuous to bully the most feard wizard/crime lord the world has ever seen....at the end the little shit kills our MC cause he was to stupid to just take a shotgun and shoot him in the face
Dev wanted to make it so that being blackmailed by the mafia is because she stole from somewhere she shouldn't have (actually, she shouldn't steal from anyone, but if she wants to, it would be smart to avoid doing it to the Mafia), so I'll act accordingly. It never occurred to Dev that someone could be so upset with her that they would tell her to fuck off.why couldn't she?

It's not like she knew it was the mafia, so that part of the "being smart"comment doesn't work. I understand that some people feel the stealing is disqualifying as an LI, but I don't see it that way myself. Yeah, it gets you into trouble and brings about what looks to be a pretty universally disliked storyline (I really dislike it too), but it doesn't make me reconsider Beth in any way.
Whether it's bad luck or the Dev's deliberate decision, it doesn't change my opinion.
I didn't suggest it was a good idea for her to steal, just that the mafia element didn't come into the decision, as she didn't know they had anything to do with the store.
What I really dislike is the blackmail. And I agree that she couldn't have known, but that doesn't change the fact that it happened and my MC is therefore going to break up with her.
Initially, the developer's idea was to continue the story by developing the criminal underworld and adding some drama. He later reconsidered, and the criminal underworld could be finished in the next update if the player choose do it.
thats pretty much the worst of both worlds because he splits a very fractured game with huge scene variety depending on which LIs you follow or not into two completely different paths. This will skyrocket the workload and waiting times for new updates.
True, thought wasn't it 3 paths ?
What this means to me is that if you insist on playing the romance-only route (without any crime plot), you will have releases that are short on content. A lot of time will be spent on the criminal organization (with or against), which will have its own LIs for the MC to have fun with. While the players who go along with the crime drama will still have the family and friends, but not as often.
You are right, I was so captured by my magical school plot that I forgot that the dev planned 3 paths, but that makes what I outlined in my last post just worse.
Yeah... i'm curious how the dev plans to remove such an important/large plot, for those which don't want it, without writing an entirely different story. That plot would affect pretty much any relationship and the MC's character and development going forward.
