You do not perceive visual novels correctly: this is a book with pictures and some ability to modify the plot. Sometimes - with a game element and soundtrack.
Developers who turned the genre into an endless grindfest spoiled the perception of short stories - they add sound to them and a lot of things, just to not add the main content.
The absence of a predetermined sound gives more freedom. Better not to have sound than to have the wrong one. When the author has the opportunity and confidence to make high-quality soundtrack - he will probably do it.

I mean... it all depends on personal preference. I really dislike the dichotomous separation between VNs and video games and have stopped considering it, calling everything a game for simplicity's sake, because there's a fluid border between the two.
Personally, I do like some sound design in VNs and have praised it even in games I have otherwise criticized, like 'The DeLuca Family'.
But I also don't necessarily need it, and prefer no sound design at all, to a bad or incomplete one.

But yeah. Sandbox VNs are a clear example of muddying the waters between VNs and video games and I like both fine, as long as they're done well.

I like WVM because it's a good visual novel. Would I prefer it with some sound design? Eeeehhh, maybe, as with everything, it would depend on how well it was done. Sure, devs being pressured to do sound design when they have no experience with it and therefore then mess it up, that's not a good thing. But I won't criticize a dev because he wants to include it because it often does make the experience more immersive in my opinion.

As with everything, it's not a black and white issue.

Ok so can anyone tell me is the full day out now? Was sitting for almost 2 months with no internet due to router breaking and unable to get new one with the lockdown.

Sounds like you have the 'Rollback side' option turned on, that lets you go back by clicking on that half of the screen rather than just the back button. You can turn it off again in preferences.

I'd seen this game hopping around for a while and finally decided to give it a try. Pleasantly surprised that there's a trans girl treated pretty respectfully, that's pretty novel for ren'py games.
Great variety with the faces and bodies, too. A lot of the games the girls end up all looking the same but there's some good variants in this one.

didn't get to play the current version because of the APK file being too big for the android os, ye can't even open the app; hopefully the problem get resolved in the incoming update, and yes, I am talking about the official android one.

It's a known problem with file size limitations on android and not easily fixable (as detailed here). All you can do for now is using the compressed apk linked in the OP. Have fun!

I'll continue the format from last week.

Relevant information about the game and update:
-This weekly will be around 140 renders and 6 animations.

-This weekly will be releasing on Friday due to animations still rendering.
Animations take a long time to make And since there are many of them this week my pcs need a bit longer to finish them. Expected time they'll all finish is 5pm EDT, Friday.

-Day 7 final will be on May 28th.

-Client polls continue soon. Due to not being able to render any previews we'll be doing height next since it's not necessary for that.

-Character sheet will be coming Saturday.

-And finally a new banner for patreon will be coming either Saturday or Sunday.

Relevant information about me and what I'm doing:
- I'm feeling good. Despite the needing an extra day I'm not really beating myself up about it. It does suck that I need it but It's not like I need it because I was procrastinating, in fact it's the opposite. Rendering takes a long time and there's only so much I can fit into a week. 140 renders alone without the animations is already a huge amount of time. Add in the animations and it spilled over and I'm not comfortable having a release that is missing things. Everything else about the update is just about ready to go. As soon as the animations finish I'll start uploading. I'll keep updated in discord about the ETA.

- I still feel like I'm on my redemption arc. This doesn't feel like a step back but more about taking the proper time to deliver content I'm proud of. And while it sucks having to do it I feel like the 24 hours isn't a big enough deal to warrant pushing out a release with missing content.

-Other than that all has been well. I've written ahead on some dialogue. Finished some custom stuff. It's been a good week.

-My personal best time for speedrunning Mario 64 is now 21:28 (Didn't play it a ton this week but hey! New pb )
(I might stream some of these runs in the near future)

That's all for this week. Thank you all so much for everything, love you guys. <3
Take care
