Saved routes in order

I have just finished Soichi's route C and decided to arrange all my saves in order of routes A, B and C in save points 1-3, Jun's in 4, Keisuke's in 5 and Haruki's will eventually be in 6.

How does everyone put their saves in order?

Separate page for each of the love interests.
As for Shoichi: 1) Character select, 2-3) Before A/B/C route split (if i want to replay/test with different choices), 4) Route A, 5) Route B and 6) Route C.

That definitely sounds like a really great idea Baron for future use (If you don't me borrowing it). If I ever do anymore Soichi or other routes I will take this in mind.

What I have done is put Soichi route on Page 1 (routes A-C under 4-6) and put Haru,  Keisuke's and Jun on Page 2 (technically classed as 7-9)

On Pages 1-19 I have all Shoichi Saves, on Pages 20-39 I have Haruki Saves, Pages 40-59 Keisuke and finally Pages 60-99 Jun Saves (Pages 100 and afterwards are saves for routes I play while screensharing with a friend that just reached the Route Split)

i will develop carpal tunnel someday

This is definitely an intriguing way of doing it, wait until all 3 decisions appear then choose one of them and save from there in the different blocks.

Honestly when the Day 5 and Day 10 choices (Shoichi/Keisuke/Jun choice)  appeared I initially picked only Shoichi (FeelsBadMan) and put all Prologue Saves in the Shoichi Block. After that I just played the other 4 picks without saving any. So whenever I want to go back and look at something I just *try* to find a save close to the day the choice appears and use the Skip button. 

How many alternative routes are there for Shoichi, and at which jump points?

There's A, B and C split on Day 26.
A: Picked "Keep pushing" and convinced Shoichi to meet his mom (depends on the choices made during Day 22, 24 and 26).
B: Picked "Let it go".
C: Picked "Keep pushing", but failed to convince Sho to meet his mom.
Later on on Route A (Day 30) and B (Day 29) there will be a choice in conversation with Saya that will have an impact those routes and cause another split on Day 38(A)/37(B):
1) Bad: Route B + "College advice" during Day 29.
2) Best: Route A/B + "Relationship advice". Or Good: Any other combination.

Thank you very much, very clear explanation. You helped me a lot.

One feature I wish Renpy would add is save grouping, imagine having the standard saves pages that can count up infinitely. then them imagine above the page number, are a group option, thus allowing users to freely make as many saves as they want within a route without the need to worry about overwriting, but still be able to group them according to route.
