Pass on the alt route for me as well. Like Genocide in Undertale, I just cannot bring myself to do it, I like the characters too much and I feel terrible going against that.
Definitely loved this chapter. I think I was laughing at every single interaction with the main "villain", and the character moments were all fantastic.
I particularly like how easy it is to keep dissecting and thinking aobut character interactions and all the implications of the story based on what is done by Kris and what is done by "YOU"; it's keeping this meta-narrative that was one of the most interesting aspects of Undertale to me, and I'm really invested in seeing where it goes.
