While I generally agree with your point that there's too much fat and it should be cut, I'll just express some caution. Cutting content can send a bad message, and can hurt subscriptions if the game gets an odor of soon to be abandoned. It's a fine line to walk and I don't envy L&P if he tries to do this. Though, that said, he would be better off trying to do it because the current plan won't work. If I were writing the story, I wouldn't so much "cut" any content, I would just give the content an abbreviated ending. The nursing home side job would be easy to cut. Give Sophia extra hours at the school that make the nursing home job untenable. On her last day she could wear the new outfit for the guys without fear of being fired, and could have some fun with them as a going away present. It would be a satisfactory end to the story without having to abruptly cut it or make characters do out of character actions.I see what you mean & it could skew things. Really I was thinking more about the time-saving element but perhaps if he ever did this he should implement a different kind of voting system. Normally I don't like polls in games/VNs, (which is a polite understatement) but it's been obvious for a couple of years that something needs to change if there's going to be any chance of this game finishing. Even if it were to be abandoned, for whatever reason, it would be nice to reach a point where Sophia had sex with someone other than Liam, before this happened.
Perhaps L&P could first decide on a number of characters &/or scenarios for potential cuts then put them to the vote. I envisage a simple 'last past the post' system, again to save time.
But we all know none of this will happen because L&P doesn't give a crap about outside opinions.
