Hiii, no I didn't follow one. You can choose to talk to him on main in the beginning, then choose him as the inspiration for your novel and that should let you pursue him. Then just be nice and honest to him. The convo at the end of his route also matters but that's depending on the ending you wanna get. Btw, if you keep getting the ideal ending early on it's bc you actually have to let Angel dm either Ronin or V when she asks you. I hope this works!
