If what you critique as inconsistent writing are indications that Halsin has not been fully forthcoming with his feelings and secretly wishes to change his boundaries around intimate bonds, future patches that explore his feelings and bring secret feelings to the surface would be something to hope for, I get it. Like I've tried to say before, if that's what his writer(s) do, it's a direction I would watch for his character with interest.

Alternately, if what you critique as inconsistent writing is not an indication of secrecy or unaware avoidance on Halsin's part, and instead only seems inconsistent because his style of being with others is unfamiliar and strange to players who, before encountering him, haven't had an interest in nonmonogamy themselves or have had an interest exclusively in CNM/poly types he does not like, a future where he's patched to represent a different style of CNM for player comfort would be a bummer to me. But, I also trust the writers would give us the details of their OC's inner life in the way they mean to. So, I'm not fussed much either way, since it's a video game character and someone else's OC at the end of the day.

Toxic and destructive are strong words for this romance, it's a bummer you felt that way about it.

I hope I haven't indicated I feel these books are dogma, but the start of conversations and contributions to the discussion, to be included in the chats of how poly people talk about our lives and the people we love and have sex with. Take what you like and discard the rest. If that means discarding everything and going your own way, that's perfectly understandable, no one should be lionized. I hope that the alternative for mono people isn't looking at wikipedia.
