yea but you can't do a lot of development in one area, in this situation magic, then swap to the android side without close any subplot and do a lot of development of the android one that was really uninteresting and didn't do anything on the plot.
In a lot of books about 2 or 3 branches that merges at the end, do a chapter of each side of the story and that helps if one of the branches is boring because need more preparations or situations for get really interesting. And in this point the developer failed, and I don't mean that I didn't liked and because that failed, just read a lot of players complaining about the cyborg side and it shows that the Developer failed in the writing.
