Tbh, I can't feel sorry for L&P. I understand wanting to do a slow burn but come on. There's a video shorts series on rule34 that's a slow burn. It hasn't been out a year quite yet and it has more action and buildup than AWAM has had years to do. The shame of it all is that, it's been so long that other devs and artists have taken the premise and done more exciting things with the story in a couple of years whereas the original has taken twice as long with only a fraction the action. If L&P wanted to make a VN version of a romance novel, because that's what it really is, that's fine but it should have been tagged "No sex" initially. Imo, it's downright scandalous to build up story arcs, get people to come on board with donations then, not only take nearly a decade with barely any sexual activity but also just barely be halfway through the story. To top it off, somewhere down the line, they decided to redo the renders (which was not necessary) and the FMC looks totally different. The time spent could have been better spent moving the story along to, at least 4 sex scenes, even if they were brief. They could have thrown their audience a couple of bones but now it looks like it may wind up being buried.
