I understand what you’re saying. I feel sad for and hate the MC at the same time. When I started the game I did want him to be able to escape and evade capture too, but as it goes on I’ve come to believe that even if he is successful in killing his mother, he’ll continue killing others and never truly be at the peace that he seeks. In my opinion, it’s better for him, and for others, if he dies; or at least, is captured and confined for lifetime.

Continuity error:Edina is thirty-three in the stat page but is celebrating her thirty-fifth birthday?

Thanks for your thoughts and for pointing out those typos.
@VainCorsair
Thanks, I’ll fix those. Tbh, I can’t decide whether Edina should be 33 or 35. I want her young enough for it to be fucked up so either one works.

I’m so fond of the MC that they’ll be in a trilogy. 
But why are you calling them “it”? XD
Also…“adbuct” o___o do I win an award for the most hideous typos?

Compromise, make her 34
Well you spelled it correctly a paragraph or two onwards so… yeah, you’ll get special mentions at the award ceremony at least.

Thanks, I’ll fix all of those tonight. That’s what happens when I write 4k words in one day. 
Also, I’m gonna be increasing all the stat checks in Chapter 7 by 5 points. I hadn’t realized they were so easy.

I think the ones that are at 20 are fine. My highest stat was charisma at 58 and only two at 20. I have a couple that are almost 20, but other than that most are fairly low. If it’s raised then there is no option to raise anything other than charisma for me, which then kind of pigeonholes my options.

Hmm, I’ll experiment a little and see what the maxes can be. I want stat checks to be neither too easy or too difficult, and sometimes that’s tricky to do.

Well, it depends what you’re looking for. In a rational sense, the world would absolutely be a better place without the MC. As far as I can tell, there’s no redemption possible for them, in that it’s not something they want. They want to kill their mother, and I suspect that once that is done, they would definitely keep killing - in a way, Edina is the final thing holding the MC back, literally the only person in the world that the MC fears. Once she is dead, we are looking at an already confirmed serial killer without any fear in the world and no sense of morality to hold them back- fun time for everyone involved, I’m sure.
That being said, in this particular story, yes, I do want them to succeed, and keep being an horrible person. Basically, I do wish for the possibility to have their own, insanely twisted version of an happy ending, ‘and they killed happily ever after’, possibly after leaving only ashes behind, because that game is oddly cathartic in that way.
Seriously, this game kind of scares me. During the last update, I thought to myself “hmm, I could see the MC giving their last prisoner a chance to struggle, just for sport” and this update comes and that’s exactly what happens.

You all are pretty perceptive. 
A powerful, ambitious, and then fearless serial killer definitely wouldn’t settle down for a quiet life after the biggest victory they’ve ever had.
Also, I’ve completed the two magical options when dealing with Stefen.

So, I just started watching Bates Motel and it reminded me of how a couple people have said that Edina reminds them of Norma. I’m two episodes in and I can already see some similarities.

Spelling error in the option: Outright violence against your murder victim’s brother would be perhaps a bit brazen, even for you. Threats and intimidation, however, allways have their place.

What I really like is that you all seem to either accept or fully embrace the fact that MMM’s MC is fairly defined, especially compared to most CoG MCs, including the ones in my other stories. I think this is the best way to tell a story like this, and the fact that you all support it is really encouraging.
