Never got the talking like just getting to know each other...maybe subjective on how you read it in your head perhaps?
That's possible. I just think it's weird that both Kim and the MC talk about what they'd do with a lot of money, but they're not including each other in those dreams. I got the same impression when Kim said "I should buy you a scooter", in a relationship, you'd say "Maybe we should buy you a scooter as well?"
It's lines like these that made it hard for me to find out how serious their relationship was. It's only in Chapter 2 that we get to know that they'd been together for years. Even in Chapter 1, Leyla describes their status as "dating".
Changed numbers? What numbers...you mean phones?
Yeah, phone numbers. Early in Chapter 1, the MC remarks that he and Kim sent some messages back and forth, but a few months in she stopped replying. In Chapter 2, we learn from Kim that she hardly had the time to reply because of her job... But eventually, she burned out, rested for a few months, then got a job at the tech company. It was only after learning that she'd be going back to the city, that she wanted to contact the MC again. But his number didn't work.
If the MC got a new number between the prologue and chapter 1, then it would've made sense that he mentioned that. Just a small line like "Now she can't even if she tries because I changed my number."
It's just so convoluted, and pretty boring as far as explanations go. It absolves both parties of guilt. What if Kim said that she didn't warn the MC because she wanted to settle in first, planning to contact him a few days later. This is more interesting, it gives the player/MC something to interpret.
Timeline is also not really difficult to keep track off either I didn't think...do you mean the flashback parts?
Mostly the general transition between scenes. Some are confusing. MC goes to bed, then suddenly he's at some place in the afternoon of the next day. This is something I think "Single Again" did great. There isn't a single scene where we don't know where the MC is or what he's doing. I'm missing this here. There's no real way to sense/measure how much time has been passing.
Though, not going to lie, I do have some issues putting the entire timeline together in my head, but I don't necessarily think this is a bad thing. At least in Chapter 2 events are referenced as “x years ago”, which makes them a lot easier to place.
