Thanks!
The rework should help a little bit with the feeling imo, as some characters that are less on screen get more dialogue and depth, instead of extremely small nitpicky elements in 4 eps (Eiko and Levy predominantly).
Also removal of some choices that lead to nowhere's should help a bit too. Can be said it also slightly lowers the choices matter aspect, but I don't think choices like "do nothing", "watch anime alone" and a few other similar ones provided much depth. After all, MC should/will be on friendly terms with all of them.
