/wg/, I've decided to make a massive change to the scale and cosmology of my setting and I don't know if I'm doing the right thing

>struggling to figure out an idea for my sequel
>finally figure out a plot that looks perfect
>try to develop it
>realize that it's not the direction my characters would naturally progress in, not based on my personal experiences, and that it benches my MC in favor of his GF
>try to find some way to salvage it
>mfw it turns out the only way to fix all those problems is to make book 2 about the MC getting dumped, feeling inadequate and descending into inceldom as he struggles tries to get her back

Goddammit. Why?
