It’s short because it’s the test version of what’s to come.
Story Updates are usually divided in two parts, a X.5 and X.0, the latter one being the completed and full version of update.
X.5 updates are generally unstable and unpolished preview. (They don’t even come out with the walkthrough).
You can clearly see that there are bugs, textboxes that overlay and other elements that need more refinement, I just checked to see how hot the nuns were and then I closed it, I prefer a full course rather than crumbles.
It’s also something to show to Patrons to see that he ain’t slacking.
He usually released both updates in one month, but now that he arrived at the juice of character stories (or that he got more ambitious with the paths, locations and characters) he doesn’t succeed anymore at it.
And yes he is aware of the bugs, from the bug report and this thread, he is a silent watcher, could be observing us even now.
I know right, he is effeminate looking, and from the dialogues about marriage and leaving the monastery, (And also from the source of inspiration) makes me think that his plot twist is that he is homosexual and the victim knew about it
