On another note, even though I have criticisms of DPC and BADIK, this VN and a
handful of others are the only ones worth playing in my opinion. At the very least, at least DPC delivers a fully fleshed out beginning-and-end chapter each time. Many others just kind of unceremoniously plop out an update while following the increasingly apparent trend of longer and longer dev times.
Of course, there are others who also do the same as BADIK in regards to a full-on chapter and/or have shorter dev times. But all-in-all, can probably count the number of VNs I'm willing to play on one hand. (The non-fapping hand

)
My interest in BADIK has more or less waned after Ep 8, but I look at the mountain of games I haven't tried yet or have updated but don't care to play and I think, "Wow, there's actually not much I want to bother with anymore". It really is just leagues above 99% of stuff here. It's like combination of DPC does amazing work and the large bulk of other devs (not all of them, don't @ me) are just wildly incompetent beyond imagine. Whether you like it or not, BADIK seems to set the standard for most things.
(And don't reply trying to one-up me, you bastards

I hate that shit. I'm just trying to be fully transparent about the game, not turn this into a dickriding competition.)
