Thank you so much for playing :D (And I am so sorry for the late reply!)
I definitely wanted Blake to have bad character qualities, as well as good ones (him being quite a good romantic, in spite of himself, for example!). It's so great to hear you enjoyed his route and you feel for the character :)
I hope you enjoyed Stanton's route just as much, and Amesbury's as well when it's released :D
Thank you again for playing and for commenting!
