What I don't get here is not just the missed deadlines, but nothing ever comes out. So is he missing deadlines, putting it down in frustration, then essentially starting over every time?
To be completely honest I do genuinely care about this project, not going to join the patreon because that would be insane given the track record, but so much about this was so unique when I first saw this on ulmf that I'm still pulling for something to come out one day.
If this is some weird denial fetish then at this point I don't know how he has anything left to cum.
If it's a genuine project then I'd really love to know where the holdup is. Is it a process issue where feature creep takes over, the compendium gets a million words, but no real progress is made towards release? Is it a perfectionism thing where Yummy is just afraid to release something he views as sub-par, especially after the reception his translation got? Is it a problem with procrastination where work is occuring in long periods of nothing punctuated by short, extremely productive periods that drive a new release prediction until the energy disappears?
I honestly understand all of those (if it's the last talk to your doctor about your mental health though), and on a forum for sex perverts there's absolutely no shame in just saying "I'm really struggling with (x) and that's why this project hasn't moved forward in a decade".
I've given Yummy plenty of shit but if I'm honest I keep coming back to this because he's a hell of an artist and a hell of a writer and I really want to play chapter 1. I think if even the trolliest of trolls here are honest they would say the same. I have to say though Yummy, when chapter one has been coming out next month for about a decade it's really hard not to feel and act negatively towards this project.
