While I agree the beginning could use a fresh make over to ' slow down ' and provide more logical progression on why Gail submitted to Dave, bear in mind :
1) There is already a remake of chp 1.Granted not a lot of differences but the original was even more lame
2) Even if there is a remote possibility of Coda wanting to redo chp 1, it simply would not happen as it would cause delays down the current path which would upset his current patreons.
On the other topic of power progression vs Dave's amazing dick, I do agree path has somewhat lost its meaning. On one hand, you have the typical nephew / landlord / boss / lesbian slut plot, on the other hand you have the ' main plot ' of The office / Gails climb to the top. His patreons is mainly in for the first section. Hence every update, there has to be many scenes of Gails being degraded and further down the rabbit hole. Coda simply cannot afford to lose his patreons.
Besides I think his patreons are pleased/ fine with the current game. Even the vote Coda did on F95 stated its fine lol
