Hey All,

Since the chapter was public this past Monday, I was taking a bit of a rest this week. I needed it. The chapter 9 will focus on Allison. It's not that other characters won't be involved, but Allison will still be our main focus.

For those that are unaware, here is a list of LIs:

Allison, Cynthia, Ichika, Megan, Nicole, Polina, Rebecca, Selena, Tanya, and Tara.

Doc Monroe and Lian Chen are married women.

Tamryn, Tess, and Melany are ONLY support characters and have their place as extensions of the MC, as are Vince, Aaron, and the Ghost team. It's not that there won't be eye-candy with the girls there, but they will not be involved romantically with the MC.

Again, the focus is on romance, not sex.

For anyone not aware of where I am coming from with the overall story and characters, you can read a bit about it here: https://cory-f.itch.io/the-mason-gambit/devlog/449316/dev-stuff.

There are nay-sayers out there, but they don't bother me. They are really quite irrelevant in the grand scheme of life. They are entitled to their opinions, but when they deliver outright falsehoods, I need to set the record straight. After all, just because you don't like something, doesn't mean it isn't true.

My wife and I have a happy life and marriage, and we actually laugh at many of their comments. We find it wildy entertaining bullshit. They live in their own little bubble and have no clue about the world around them, or people like us. Which, just makes their ignorance even more laughable. The delusions they live with have made for great material for my psych papers. Funny, funny stuff.

To quote Vince, "I got my gold." Most of our friends did, too. ;)

So, there we have it. I will begin plotting the next chapter this weekend and begin on Monday with the writing, I already have an opening screenshot rendered to get me started.

Cheers!
