TBF I was never that interested in the stolen tickets subplot, unless it was made to introduce a side girl like Annabelle.
What I mean is that if the dev keeps adding meaningless subplots and keeps the "day by day" in-game schedule, it will be years before seeing an actual story progress.
Well maybe its just not for you, but what you describe has been the focus of Cosy Cafe almost since the beginning and imo it's what makes this story great: every girl has its own story and there is also focus on their relationship with the MC and the other girls that will eventually be part of the harem, if you start cutting those subplots it would lose half the charm. The only thing I would agree it has been meaningless overall is the whole ticket prize resolution.
I get what you mean, but maybe I am being misinterpreted. What I don't like is the extreme slow pacing with the events. Take the upcoming goth weekend, two whole days of event (maybe even splitted into two updates), what's the point of it? Sumarize it in a couple hundred renders or so and move on. To see the meeting with the Headmistress mother (if I remember correctly) we will have to wait at least 6-7 updates. It would be better, instead of a day-by-day, to have timeskips of 2-3 days once in a while to focus on the meaningful events.
I'm willing to bet that a lot of the avid fans of Cosy Cafe appreciate the slow slice of life pace that's going on because it gives us more time with each LI. It just sounds like you want a TLDR version of the VN and if so I'd just wait for it to be done and skip through the sections you don't like.
Well, I enjoy the kinky stuff, but in general I am more of a plot kind of guy.
I generally enjoy more plot focused stories over slice of life stuff as well. So I was rather surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did.
I'd say me too but Cosy hits different.
You mean the dinner date with the Headmistress, where Founding Family stuff is off the table for the night? The thing that will happen in the very next update (.13)? Such a slow pace...
No, I don't remember exactly since it has been a while, but I am referring to a meeting with someone related to the Headmistress' father about the plan to make them reconcile. In the last update the meeting was scheduled for the "next week". That's why I am talking about 6-7 updates (since each update rarely covers more than one day).
We're almost a month into the story and there's been 12 updates. Even the most recent update was 2 days. The only reason .11 covered 1 day is because of how massive it was, combined with all the other stuff going on like the UI change.
The meeting with Harriet is in the next update.
2/3rds of the updates (8 out of the twelve versions released to date) have been 2 (or more in the case of .1) day updates.
MC being inconsistent in choice based games is the main straw for me too, like in a way, we are all kinetic, we can't change who we are at least not easily but these choice based games, turn giga chads into pussies in one play through and pussies into giga chads in another playthrough so easily, and that kinda kills the vibe for me. Like MC is just a robot made to follow the players command otherwise he's totally soulless void of any limitations of his own.
