Dude, duuude, a lot of us are hoping this VN to be finished and not abandoned one day, that's a tid bit different from what you've implied after having read my post.
And, please, don't mention anything about some kind of a "bigger picture", MC's corruption etc. We're in a 7th year development of AWAM already, that's preposterous compared to anything you'll find on F95. I'll tell you more. If the Dev himself finally realised that something has to be done, that his VN walking on a slippery slope and stagnating, having an unimagable potential, he gotta start chopping off his own creation in order to complete it someday.
Final thought. Realism. You gotta be fucking kidding me. None of those VN's out here has nothing to do with reality. All of them fulfilling sundry fetishes/sultry desires of their devs/audience. Believability of AWAM had been thrown out of the window long time ago. For some with everchanging Sophia's titties, for others - with introducing religious family. All of us has it's own gripe with this VN. Getting rid of the most irrelevant storylines is the first sign of L&P taking drastic measures to course correct his own Titanic.
