Yes, you're correct, that's what I'm saying. It's the high quality, aim for greater realism & interesting characters that give AWAM some of its' Unique Selling Points (USPs). They're definitely among the reasons that L&P is able to continue as he does. This despite the advancement of available 3D quality models & resources over the time of AWAM's existence. This is because, although gamers are able to compare what's on offer, there are many who appreciate the style of AWAM. Some things the Dev does are spot on & the VN/game is still marginally less puerile than its' closest 'competitors'.
What needs reducing, IMO, is not the quality or greater realism but the number of characters, especially those providing opportunities for sexually oriented contact, (i.e. a large number), the duplicated storylines, the semi-believable side jobs & from my own POV the designation of a second MC. There are other distractions & while I don't know enough about animations to comment on their standard, (which to me seemed good), I do believe that they were not required.
Greater focus on the main protagonist would, IMO, bring her much closer to extra-marital sex, hopefully within my lifetime. This would need to be combined with more frequent updates. Both of these measures are, or I assume, must be obvious to a person of L&P's intelligence but none of us are really expecting any change.
