The vast majority on Patreon would prefer to have a linear story with dialogue choices to add flavour to your MC's personality, and on Itch.io it seems to be evenly split. I've had discussions with a couple of followers as to why they prefer to have choices, and while I will definitely keep the story more on the linear side, as a sort of happy medium, I'm thinking of incorporating a couple of branching paths in future chapters if they make sense story-wise, branching paths that will give you different scenes (spicy and non-spicy) with different waifus, but at the end of each path, I will give you the option to go back and experience the other path should you wish it, so that there's no fear of missing out on content. I would probably keep story changing choices for the last chapter or for possible future spin-offs and one-off stories. What do you guys think about this?
