I think that the “Ranma” type would fit better as Hero of Skill than as Hero of Magic. Also, if Dan is going to play on Ranma’s gender bending, then the character will probably be using Elliot’s appearance.

So, bard-sung word-of-mouth was something like current social media? :)

Maybe the retelling WAS accurate but most of population had quite firm opinion about the head monk. Like, "if she pissed the head monk like this she must be good person".

You mean AT LEAST two more quests.

This story has become quite mockable

I, for one, would not care if the story line just ended and didn't have a proper resolution of the plot.

This story has been going on so long, that as a parody story I would expect Dan to start to run out of things to say before too much longer. I wouldn't be surprised if (and actually hope that ) before long he either does a fast-forward/time-skip to the end, or says "to be continued" and switches to another story.

If he doesn't do one of those things, then we could a very long wait for the next story, as in a typical Video Game RPG Susan would probably be less than a fourth of the way through the adventure at this point, maybe a lot less (I don't know about Fable, but if I was playing a JRPG and had only completed two quests and acquired one companion, I wouldn't expect to be even a tenth of the way through the game).

I hope that isn't the case here.  This story line is long enough as it is.

If the author is using his commentary to mock how he is writing his own story, there doesn't seem to be much more I can say

In parody, you can get away with lot of things which would be serious problem in serious story (pun intended), especially if you hang lampshade on it.

... except, of course, running out of things you can make fun of.

There IS also option that he just does the rest quicker without explicit fast-forward. But I would expect fast-forward ... not necessary to the end, maybe it will be multiple fast-forwards with few strips between them.

I don't think Susan would get this far only completing two quests ... the list of quests in Fable II is here.

Meaning, Dan already either timeskipped something over or just shortened the story.

... and it was right decision to do that.

Well, Susan spent a fair bit of time with the real estate stuff, that by the time she was railroaded back to the main quest she wasn't yet famous enough to continue, she did at least 1 side quest before paying Bard-Ellen to sing songs about her. she might have done more than one side quest, but I get the vibe that she gave up on it pretty quickly, I mean, I wouldn't want to keep going back to the temple guy after each quest to see if I've finally gotten enough fame to do his quest either.
