I think she wanted that ORS be softcore story game, but then she either lost her enthusiasm for the game/have writer's block and decided to write the game according to patrons wishes. We all had the feeling that the game is turning into softcore version of GGGB.
I think she wanted this story to be something to that degree sure. Yet around Chapter 6, when she started and began the whole 'rework' bullshit with at the time Wade, everything started to fall part. Chapters later we got the "Stan Update", which made zero sense to begin with, not to mention didn't change him one damn bit. So the circle of downwardness really started back around Chapter 6.
What could have been the reason why EK lost herself and way is certainly up for debate: Writers Block, Wanting more of her fetish money, lack of confidence, bit off more than she could chew, or all of the above. Personally I say all of the above. Had she actually taken the time to write shit out throughly, much akin to how writers do with chapters, as well as not rushing herself to put out updates, we likely wouldn't be in this shithole of a mess to begin with. I mean really, pointless ass cameos that only Lena gets to fuck with and Ian gets fuck all with the lone exception of a BG Jess? EK hasn't hit rock bottom here, she is beyond rock bottom at this point. She is now on point to reaching the core of the fucking earth with how much of a miss she has done. And likely, atleast I hope to fuck, this is a hard lesson for her to learn. Maybe, just fucking maybe, she will actually plan shit out and not do shit on a whim. She'll less stress herself out and stop setting planned goals of releasing shit. And maybe she will take up some writing and story classes as well to help her writing and try something new. Naturally, while I hope for that, I've been far to jaded with the current results and doubt such things will happen, among other prospects.
