to be fair, if i had not have played mnf, i think I would have assumed mnm had been abandoned, which would have been a huge shame because although I like mnf quite a lot thanks to lucy and fiona, the others it would have been a huge tragedy if you had not continued on with mnm .. going back to mnf I like them all the characters, just not as much as those two lucy and fiona, maybe because they have relatively deep meaningful stories that made me do a lot of thinking.
Its just a shame, we still haven't seen anything major from the fiona storyline about her and the mc going to spain, i mean everyone including the cats have had more coverage than poor fiona and she was one of the first people to meet him and if i am not mistaken, wasn't it her that somehow gave him a gentle push third hand to visit his landylady :p hehe but i really like as do so many other people, but due to the fact there are so many women in mnf, its making it extremely difficult for you, to keep up with the characters. I can really understand that, but please, give us the fiona spain trip as soon as it is practical, we have been waiting on that for quite some time :) You write such meaningful characters but focus on those that aren't that meaningful, such as the weebs, the bully girl, the cinema girl and her friend, and then of course maddy's trainer..so many. I mean for a story so long you need a huge amount of variety or it gets stale very quickly obviously.
I had this crazy idea of moving the MC and his immediate family and Fiona, to another place, he can leave the other girls behind permanently, and he can either meet new girls, or focus more in on the mc as in a sandbox system.. Please, I truly despise sandbox games with a passion. i am in this for the story not the grinding or anything else. I care about your characters and where they will end up, especially lucy, because this is going to be a seriously pivotal time for her when she has her own baby, I have no idea if she will cope, whether she run off and we never see her ever again, and i hope you dont do that to her. we have come to love lucy, and saved her from herself, weird thing is, she really feels like a real person..you wrote her beautifully, maybe you where thinking about someone you know, this might have happened to because it felt too real just to be made up.
Anyway, thanks for the update! please stay safe, and I happy that you enjoyed your holidays, you really deserved a good break after way too long. I am sure your family appreciated your time away from the computer but please dont forget the fiona spain trip! :)
