Yeah he's not a fan of them, then again shortstacks aren't that popular they're usually just token characters in adult games very few projects actually have them as the main focus or substantial amount of content. Deadline for companions is a good thing, especially on the writer William. Dude is doing about 5 major projects and none of them are complete/close to being complete, if his Rat got in the game she'd be worse than Atugia in terms of interaction and scenes along with little support in terms of updates. Plus the dude had over 2 years to complete the companion if he can't be bothered to finish her up at that big of a time frame when Viviane and Agni's writers had way less time then he has no excuse.
Thing is, the half-baked William characters already in the game are better than a 70/80% of much everything else.
Is it ideal that he takes his sweet ass time writing them? Not really, i very much want more Gytha and Kurako.
Is he one of the few dudes who can both write and seemingly doesn't feel the need to undermine his own characters by filling them with random shit for the sake of *insert weird-ass reason*? Pretty much.
Like, if this game was overall good and tidy, sure, i'm with you. As things are, fuck it, better crumbs than Cait, Quint, Azzy, Atugia, Berwyn (tbf, only putting him here 'cause after Agni i ain't too optimistic) and whoever else.
