Question is where does it go from here
I have no confidence
Not even sure he is writing this anymore
Anyway we must all be idiots as we are still here
Yeah, you are right. I started treating from chapter 25 onwards as the parody of this series. One of my main draws towards this series was the concept of someone who is deemed low in an hierarchy is able to lay pipe on someone who is way out of his league in most ways. I thought after the initial dalliance, the couple will figure a way to move forward and no matter how night they rise, Lester will be always in the corner, like a parasite the can't get rid of. Like him being Sarah's date in an office party or him infiltrating the couple's family Thanksgiving vacation. I guess that's my kink because once Don decided to drag the couple beneath even Lesters level, I wasn't interested in that story anymore.
I often think "is there any way Don could possibly steer this ship back in right direction? ". I mean what story choices he will make that'll bring me back. The more chapters we go, the fewer choices I come up with. Im still holding space for the " Lester Sarah goes on a honeymoon" idea that we discussed back when Chillie Willie was active because A) Its the one part of Dan-Sarah's marriage that Lester hasn't desecrated yet B) we need a new location besides Chicago and Middleton C) this might push forward the story in significant ways : this will be a final straw for Dan who will go all in on vengeance mode, Lester might start strong in that trip but might get distracted with chronos and Marcus ganging up on him, Spending more time with Lester alone(With whom she hasn't spent more than half a day at a streatch) will maybe, just maybe wake Sarah up from her slumber.
Remember back when us in this thread used to discuss Sith Sarah theory, that Sarah will find out about Lester's criminal ways and would rather be enamored by that and will become evil and manipulative In her work and later in life. All went down to drain because Don decided to torpedo Sarah's career, and for what, two sex scenes to placate the Patreon bunch.
