To begin. Cheeky (and to the extent you'll accept credit Ace) you've created a truly great game. Seriously great. That said, it's time to open the kimono and let us know which women we can trust. When someone plays a game over 3-4 years they inevitably invest in the characters. If they don't they stop playing. So as players/readers where do we find ourselves?
Lost in a sea of potential betrayal by characters who've at least captured our interest of not our hearts.
I spent a couple hours reading the various speculations about who the gold digger might be. Hundreds of well researched comments supported by (for most of us) overlooked clues and factoids in the game.
At this point, it seems almost overwhelmingly likely that the woman/women in whom I'm most deeply invested is/are the most likely to betray me. After 20 episodes this is NOT a good place to be.
I get that you're striving for maximum tension, but the revelation in EP 19 that one of the inheritors had forbidden knowledge was just below the belt.
IMHO you've stretched this rubber band to, if not beyond, the breaking point. Further, now you've begun to force decisions about relationships when you've cast the most doubt about the honor of the women between whom we're supposed to choose. You write a great story with characters that draw our emotional investment, and then beat us with the possible betrayal baton?Not fun gentlemen. Not enjoyable.
It's your game. I support your absolute right to do as you choose. Period. But I'm one voice telling you that it's time to clear the air a bit, because it's rapidly becoming an unpleasant environment.
