As someone who says about himself that he had argued several times and extensively what the problems are here I think that I can express my thoughts here:
Purely visually, BD is more than solid and qualitatively at least in the upper middle range. But where clear weaknesses are revealed are the plot and the time management of the story. For example, I'm still not sure where to place the story of the twins in time. Thereby it can be fixed very easily: Simply insert a small message "Now start the story of the twins". Doesn't require a large number of renders to bring up the scenario from the MC's point of view, and thus saves time.
The Mafia update does not need to be themed. I've already explained here several times why this was a bad idea from a purely medical point of view.
In my next point, I can only refer to what others have written, since I have only looked at the update with the introduction of MC's sister: Apparent erectile dysfunction in MC when it comes to his wife. As I said, I have no idea to what extent this is true, but if so I wonder: why?
As I said, technically I can't say anything bad about Bet, but he definitely needs proofreaders and I also think someone to help him with the plot and not be afraid to stop Bet from creating more gaffes like the Mafia update.
I'll also say: not everyone can be a born storyteller and that's absolutely fine. But then you should also get people on board who are stronger in it and also not afraid to say on a factual level that certain things don't work the way you want them to. As an example, I was talking to someone who played a warlock in her D&D group. However, she and her DM never found a way to establish a patron for that warlock, which made the warlock a better NPC. When the player in question wrote to me about it, within a few minutes I wrote back several ideas and thoughts that could save the situation.
What I'm trying to get at with this anecdote is that, if necessary, you have to look for people who are stronger or more experienced in this kind of thing and ask for advice, but at the same time you have to be strong enough to bear objective criticism.
As for the number of potential LIs, I agree: not everyone can handle that many at once. An example of this would be WVM, where I find the size of the female cast very inflated, which means that some storylines simply don't progress.
