I'm close with 115 something days, and I'm still 100% in hyperfixation mode. The chokehold this game has on me is not so different from when I fall into an ongoing tv show's fandom, or an anime, or an ongoing book series. There's constantly new content coming my way, which means there's always some question I need answered, some mysteries I can obsess over, or a new scenario I can fantasize about when I should be focusing on work lol
It's so bad I've spent the past few days helping phoenike with the main story transcriptions on their notion, happy to just go through the chapters again while I write down every single word I read.
I can only imagine the whiplash you're feeling since you were used to FFXIV updates (hell, I was coming from SWL which has NO udpates; the closest for me was the sims 4 which churns out a new update that breaks everything every other month or so)! But unless you're in the position where you can dedicate an entire day to binge-consuming through an entire playlist or an entire set of texts, your current pace is absolutely normal. Majority of players won't even bother with the cards of the LIs they don't main, they'll just go through the myths because they're lore relevant.
Think of it like this: on average, the game will put out 1 new card every 2 weeks (sometimes it becomes 2 or even 3 because there's also a 10-days-with-you or a Promise event, but the Promise event lasts 50 days so the counter for how-may-new-cards-per-fortnight stays the same). So long as you go through at least 2 cards or 1 card and 1 text or 2 texts every 15 days, you're moving faster than infold and will catch up to them. And majority of content is not like the myths where you have 2 hours of story to go through, sometimes it's a 4 minutes Secret Time, or a 20 minute card etc. As of now you're tackling the chunkiest part of the plot.
I kiss this forum goodnight on the forehead daily and I'm forever grateful of the space you lovingly made!
