The main aim is to smooth out the negativity and man-hating atmosphere that's turning some players off. There are tens of thousands of people who were fine with it as is, but I kept getting enough comments on it that I thought I'd smooth it out a little bit.
There will be some added choices in several key areas. I originally wrote this like a book as I'm an author, not a game dev. Now, almost 3 years later, I have a bit of experience and want to revisit Season 1 and give players more agency. The changes to Season 1 won't change anything that is currently written in Season 2.
By all means, give it a try and if it seems a little too much, you can always wait for the rewrite. Priority right now is on new content for Season 2, so it's going to be a while before the rewrite is done. I say give it a try in its current state and join the community Discord! We'd love to have ya.
