I know this is a controversial idea, but I believe that removing Wen Li from the first season and expanding John Fontaine's role instead may be the best option if we will continue rewriting or continue the role-play in general. I believe this because Quinton seems like he hasn't been willing to reply as the character, improve the character, or answer questions regarding the character, and is thus slowing our progress. I know we've had him around for a long time and this is nothing against Quinton, but there is still hope for TDL, at least from my view.
Wen Li is fairly incidental in Season 1, and I think we can open the door for him to return in Season 2 given the opportunity arises. Quinton will still be involved as Marshall Rooke and Samuel Brownlee, characters who are less overwhelming to portray, and this is again, no means an attack on him. Fontaine's expanded role, though, allows him to train the teens and he can also provide Alchemilia Corp related information. I just think that the Wen Li character has caused a lot of controversy across the community, and shouldn't remain in TDL for now, at least not in the first season.
I know we all miss roleplaying, and I think this might be a good idea to reinvigorate interest. You might think this doesn't work with Fontaine's storyline, but the Dream eaters knowing Alchemilia secrets like Li does seems like it will be beneficial for the narrative. There have been many attempts to improve the Wen Li character, and I don't think TDL is ready yet for Wen Li, not when his existence has stalled and slowed the RP for years. One more thing to Quinton, if you really will change Wen Li and help rewrite Formation in a way that fixes his character without diminishing others, as well as are able to communicate about who should reply and what should happen in what we are roleplaying and writing, then I will withdraw this proposal.
