The fix for that has been posted enough times already, try scrolling upwards.

Having an "open world" or sandbox or whatever you want to call it doesn't help the story telling. You can get ahead in the story by just doing the events that are available so many interactions make no sense until you do the other minor character events.

Essentially, this VN should've been set up with a linear story path rather than the current set up, so at least the storyline would make better sense.

Well, I'm avoiding doing the Scarlett, Evelyn, and Bella and Derek paths, so the sandbox is good for me to achieve it (especially considering that there is no option to reject either Scarlett or Evelyn) Likewise, I have no interest in Gabriella either.

True, but there are better ways to do that without the open world while keeping a linear story. I enjoy this VN, but the story telling is really off because of how the open world events don't follow other events.

I like the corruption elements of this game. Two things Id like to request - get Peter away from Mum and lets add some family bonding time soon

Actually, I haven't started the quests "Handyman" and "Three's company" nor am I going to start them. And I finished "Teen Crush" choosing the option to send Gabriella to hell, it's enough for me that there is the possibility of including a lesbian scene so that I don't want that route (the truth is that I shouldn't have even started it).

So in a VN there should be an option to no start them.

If this game is completed, it will be one of the best games

I don't know if it was mentioned before. During Lonely woman at some point you can have sex with Clara but somehow that event never came up for me. Despite that it was referenced in other scenes (Clara sleepover, Best teacher ever).

Hard to say, since I believe this might be a small studio/production.

Think 1.6 is in preview atm.

I think that the game has a rather low acceptance, which I suppose doesn't help the Dev to frequently update the game.

In any case, seeing that half of the LIs aren't exactly interesting for most harem players, it's logical that the income is rather residual.

In my opinion the dev would be better off removing Scarlet, Evelyn and Bella from the game (or modifying their stories to remove the parts that make potential fans of the game leave), as they are now, they are basically LIs thrown into the trash. Regarding Gabriella... personally I wouldn't include a "LI" who is strictly lesbian and in love with another of the LIs in the game, but at least you can reject her without there being anything lesbian. But this is still throwing another character in the trash.

And, including an NTR route for one of the LIs that may actually be of interest wasn't a brilliant idea.

Bonds of Love 1.6
Hey guys, the next release is ready now! Thanks to everyone who voted in the character poll! It was pretty close, even with the extra votes added in. I really don’t want the development to drag out forever though, so they will all finish a little earlier than the other girls, but it won’t be anytime soon. I’ll also reduce the animations for these girls since they take a lot of time to do.

Since Bella had the most votes, she will still have three scenes per week and I’ll probably do an animation for one of those per week. Scarlett and Evelyn were fairly close, so they’ll still have their two scenes per weekend but I’ll probably only do an animation every two weekends or something like that. Gabriella was not too far behind, but was clearly the lowest, so she’ll have two per week and probably no animations, or I might do an animation every once in a while if I feel it could be a good one to do.
