You've hit more paths with small subplots than I even remembered:
"Side Jobs, Morello, Subway Thugs, Good Wife route, Emma, Mr Bennett, Janitar/Principal at high school and if Aiden tasks end after the next update around that. Some stuff related to Dylan and Ellie being cut on top of all that, then it could account for close to 50% of original plans."
Please keep in mind some of these missing elements are brought back there is a dual-track! The "Aiden" route is too huge because like in Star Trek stories, time paradoxes make all the difference. Because of Aiden, Dylan either goes to boarding school and A, B, C, and D events must follow, but if Dylan doesn't go to boarding school, then you have to have X, Y, and Z events---AND STILL HAVING BOTH IN THE GAME CAN SCREWUP DOWN STORIES because of conflicts. Just by have two separate paths with one key event, L&P made a ton of work for himself. But here is the rub, L&P hasn't learned his lesson when you have alternative realities... your either going to have a lot of trash or going to seriously have to work your butt off to make a good product.

"Sophia was NEVER going to go as far as people in this thread would want her to go, or how female characters in other novels would go. It was always going to be a build to crossing the line and then crossing it, the end."
Let's just say L&P has some serious issues with what normal people conduct themselves in similar situations. And then has a nasty case of forgetfulness. Take the scene of Sophia in Sam's bedroom where it got hot. Ok a boy not that experienced would be a little clumsy at first. But we all are fast learners. So Sophia rubs herself off to finish--What do you think would happen in real life? Wager it wouldn't have been Sophia's fingers doing all the work. But roll forward to more modern updates where Sam is trying to give Sophia a rose in the morning. Now Sophia has two choices that 'realistically" should happen. First, Sophia just tries to roll-it-back the events in Sam's bedroom, apologize and try breaking it off with Sam. Or consider all other Sam/Sophia interactions with Sam and express real emotions, try and continue the "secret girlfriend" but kept low key so others wouldn't catch on... and maybe something in between those two options.
Let's just say when it comes to math and AWAM, things just don't add up
