15$ tier | Meaningful poll: Which path should I develop next (after Abrupt Path)? (Patreon)

I know this might look premature. I mean, we just voted for the next Path a month ago, and we still haven’t completed the alternative ending of the Normal path yet, but in order to efficiently use my resources and lead my artists, I need to be fairly proactive. So bear with me, please.

As you might have noticed, Aya’s path is one of the choices this time around. Some people might have expected me to keep it as the last path for Laura’s route, but that was never my intention. I just wanted to make sure I could handle writing it. And to be entirely honest, I still don’t know if I can. I expect it to win, but please read the details about the paths before choosing (yes, I’m giving details this time around, albeit barely).

Aya’s Path: I knew writing it would be a challenge. Even though it might sound stupid to those who don’t understand the kink, NTR needs real love in order to work. And it also needs empathy for the male character. So making Harry cheat on Laura for no reason or making Aya fall without Harry being romantically interested in her wouldn’t work. It would just feel rushed or cheap. Which means this path is rather slow and I don’t know how much action (sex) I will be able to pack in it (at least, at the beginning). As of right now, I don’t feel really confident in what I wrote. Obviously, I might be overthinking it. I already said it in the past, but I’ve been working on this story for a very long time, so I can’t evaluate it accurately anymore. The only thing I want to say is that I haven’t had the time to re-read my reading, I haven’t finished writing the path yet, and I have a lot of mixed feelings right now. So if it wins now, that’s totally fine, but keep in mind that if I’m given more time, I might be able to make it a bit—a bit—better. It’s at least six updates long and should have an alternative ending. So if it’s mediocre, it will be mediocre for a long while.

Good Path: So for those wondering why there’s a good ending when it’s a NTR, it’s because I ran a poll at the start of the project to know if people wanted a good ending. And, as you see, the good ending did in fact win. There’s still a bit of NTR in it, and you learn a bit about Harry’s past—you see a bit of Maya. It’s one update long (hopefully) and has a small (few thousand words) alternative ending. I’m somehow confident about it, but then again, it’s ultimately a “good” ending, so not necessarily what you guys are looking for.

Hero Path: This path has been confusing for a lot of people, and for good reason. If you haven’t noticed, I’m bad with naming things in general. For example, all of my female characters’ names finish with an A. For those wondering, yes, this path is pure NTR... for the most part. And Laura’s mother takes a moderate role in it. I’m just really not sure if this type of ending will work, to be honest. I’m testing things, pretty much, as always. But still, as of right now, I’m more confident with this path than with Aya’s path. This path is around five updates long and has one alternative ending.

Hopefully I could clear a bit of confusion, though I doubt it.
