Let me chime in if you don't mind.
You guys seem like decent folks. Opinionate for sure, but not assholes with nothing decent to say.
I think we should put this discussion in a drawer for now and here's why: this rating system is a bit of a fail. This forum is basically filled with games still in development. It's very unfair to give a game still being made any sort of rating but here you can and the biggest problem is that it stays there forever. Sure people can edit their reviews after a few more versions come out but many don't and many times this metric matters and puts off many new players from even trying a game.
Now, because VN game development has it's particularities, a game of this nature can quickly evolve to being finished and ready in terms of gameplay and the majority of bugs being fixed, even if the story is still being added. Therefore what I would like to have happen is for new games, at least versions 1 and 2, to have no ratings because they can be very harsh and unfair before the game even has a chance to get it's main features fixed. Afterwards, when you're just waiting for story updates that's when you should give it a rating.
Because the forum doesn't forbid from rating a game's version 1 or 2, then it falls to us the players to either wait for version 3 to rate (that's my preference) or just give a rating based on the potential assuming the bugs get fixed, the gameplay, etc.
Right now, most of the reviews on this game should not be there but should be on a forum post instead with negatives and positives so that the dev can work on changing things. Then you wait and see what the dev does with that information and how quickly he does it. If version 2 comes along and everything is awesome then you know this is a game you should support, or better yet, this is a dev you should support.
