@anon12679161 Heh, yeah. Somehow life always gets in the way, (and by life I mean by job, sadly—I wish it were fun stuff getting in the way!) Sorry for the delay, folks
I’m just about done with Merry Crisis stuff, so will be getting back into the swing of things and start writing CT:OS veryyy soon!
@tellyg47 Wow, thank you for the comment, I’m so glad to hear that you thought the characters and dialogue felt organic. Also pumped that you enjoyed the tennis segments!
@Songsmith Again, such high praise!! Thank you so much 
@Lee_Lee Wow, yeah! Classically classy definitely sums Tobin up perfectly!
@060_sc, @quarterpasttea, @anon12679161, and @JohnKittz Really agree that each RO definitely appeals to different people depending on the tropes they most enjoy (and hopefully offer some replayability for folks who want to delve into each trope).
Sam’s route is definitely uncertain because of long distance, but it’s also the most ‘familiar’ in the sense that they know each other like the back of their hand. G’s route is uncertain because there’s no fixed / stable end in sight, because of the ‘deadline’ of G’s year abroad. But it’s also so visceral, so present—because G is here, now, and ready to give it all they’ve got for the brief time they share with MC.
As for Rayyan and Tobin, I think they both personify different relationships one can have with their teammates (the former leaning towards competition/rivals-to-friends/lovers and the latter, as mentioned, more towards captain/friend/mentor).
Finally, I’m so happy that folks are discovering routes that they never expected to take, and that it’s rewarding in terms of the gameplay possibilities!
P.S. @JBento
Exactly this. HAHA.
@icyLucy Obsessed with your MC x G!
