Nah, I'm not saying people will lose interest Alex, I'm saying it is possible a mass of people may get concerned over the pacing in a few months in my hypothetical 'pace stagnates' scenario.
You talk alot of the traits of Denpa- what is more Denpa than disorientation?
This requires a certain level of rising action and trauma.
That's why the very first thing I said was that the Halloween update was a good update and "a step in the right direction imo".
I'm just trying to be helpful to avoid a potential situation. For all I know things are about to go off the rails.
They very well could depending on the consequences of what happened with Molly!
But... on the alternative... just imagine things go back to normal.
It would have a certain dampening effect. The reader may ask themselves: 'what are the actual stakes' when another event inevitably happens.
That's all I'm saying.
And look, even if it keeps the current pace or even slows it is still great in the dating sim department and plenty entertaining and more than a 'good' game.
Perhaps I sounded more negative than intended.
I was merely sharing my thoughts on a hypothetical 'best' and most dramatic future.
As I said in another post the pace can also be changed by metering out meaningful information about the world of the story.
It is not necessarily the case that things just have to go off the rails more and more all the time, but things do need to be more or less moving for things to be at their most interesting.
That's my opinion anyways, and it is not a problem yet I am just stating my opinion because... that is what a forum is for.

Seriously, though, I don't think that's what's making him lose it because it wasn't until one girl in particular showed up that he really started going downhill.
