I just scrolled through the last couple of pages and I'm confused.
On one hand you've got people complaining that the last update was

without content when the dev clearly stated that it wasn't really an update and just an extended ending of Day 2.
On the other hand you've got people talking about redemption for the mc or being a wingman for the husband ... dude what? I get that it would be a different approach but it doesn't seem to be on the menu and I'm glad. Last thing I want is for the MC to turn into a cheerleader... that would make for a disturbing image...
As for the debate of choices vs VN that's up to the dev depending on his plans. Meaningless choices are frustrating but having the choice to see some content or not is fine. I have to agree with the "don't waste time implemeting branches that most people wont see".
BTW it felt kinda weird to have the changelog say "Day 2" when the update starts with "a few days later", (it's just a detail but the naming caught me off guard) ... and why was he going to church to begin with?
I've seen a few people commenting on the lack of homeworks from Hayley and I have to agree; hope we get some of that later.
Still, stellar job so far; do what you feel like doing. There will always be people who disagree, would have done it differently or want to steer things in another direction but the most important thing is that you do what you like. A motivated dev is the best way to keep a project going strong.
Can't wait for the next update.
