Makes sense to me. Thank you for the clarification!Though I completely understand where you're coming from, here's how I see it.
For now, I'm presenting this as a VN. Yes, down the line, I'd like to add features, but as a VN, it stands on its own. I have to iron out a couple of spelling mistakes, and maybe solve a bug or two, but nothing more.
Hence why I called it 1.0.
But once again, the gripes you have are fair.
