I rushed through the entire prologue, it said the prologue ended... decided "Okay now I know I could have just skipped the prologue."  But I didn't let that bother me, and I continued partway through the next chapter... the MC still hasn't appeared yet. This is still prologue. A very, very long prologue. Yet I've made multiple choices for other characters that the MC hasn't even seen... Why? What is going on? This is already longer than many games I've played and it hasn't even started yet.
