THERAPY!
imo, this arc isn't that bad, but it's (as people stated) not really suited for the webcomic platform, and you really launched it at a bad time. I don't think people would really mind if you launched it at NOT E3, but since you did, people were kinda hoping for some E3 jokes.
It doesn't help that, yeah, this is starting to drag a bit. tbh, I wouldn't mind one big page that sets up an entire scene of this followed by three small little shorts while you make the next big scene. Sure, continuity might take it in the ass, but it would make a more structured and fluid result, and it would cause the Escapist to stop deploying their pitchforks.
