Never was I pissed at a game quest as much in my fucking life. Every min games end even though there is no fucking hint of what must be done to dodge it. Just why ruin the game that was great from the start to this point!
WTF do I do in this quest to get it going after I convince racheal? so irritating and all that know me on here know I never get angry over anything but this is pissing me off to a point that I am about to give up my favorite game for good. Just why? and god forbid if I had to save only once as I do in other games I would off having to start over the whole complete thing again

With the end save V0.7.2 you can finish the update 0.8.2 in 13 game days. It is the optimum, with less does not work (I have tried several times). My total playing time is 118 playing days V0.8.2.

About the general course of CMA :
The Old Yacht (beta - v0.4) was a well rounded product (compared with the later updates). The player had many options what to do for every hour and number of options was increasing. Especially in the beginning it was difficult to decide what options to prioritize. Life on board was authentic, seeing the girls sleeping, taking shower/bath, eating, studying, swimming, etc. All girls were available for most hours of the day, so the player knew where to find them. Later when the number of new events declined, the player skipped more of the known events but there was always the option to repeat old events, e.g. ask Linda to strip, etc..
The Island (v0.5) has shown that theGary is a hard-working developer. It looks like 75% of a 2-3-month-project in a single month. But it was never finished in a way to have a well rounded product. (This might be caused by the Patreon nature of the project.) The Island has outstanding huge events but for many hours of the days there are small events missing and so it is an episode where the player skips many hours to play an event and then skips more hours. When the player has to skip hours because there are no options to do something, then probably some content is missing. (Or the time grid does not match the available content and should be changed.)
The New Yacht (v0.6 - v0.8) has outstanding images and events. However the authentic life from the old yacht is still mostly missing. The player cannot see most of the girls sleeping, taking a shower or bath, studying, etc. Girls are not available for many hours every day and it is unknown where on the yacht they are supposed to be. Many of the images are still simply placeholders, the girls have often nothing to say. Most of the old yacht content is currently not available (except as a dream). The result is that every day the player has to skip many hours due to lack of options. Even after 3 updates the New Yacht feels empty on options.
Former activities like spanking Chloe or having sex with Emily have become more complicated. It is now Chloe who asks for a session every few days and no longer the player who can spontaneously decide to have a session with Chloe. Sex with Emily is no longer spontaneous but usually requires a special event (e.g. Emily sunbathing with anal plug) and 1 day preparation. Linda requires 1 day preparation for anal sex at next morning. Rachel is spontaneous with her helping hand, but other activities require special not-everyday events like Rachel in the hot tub, midnight bath, Rachel caught masturbating or Rachel asking for help. This dependency on special external events results in a loss of options for the player and is another reason for massive use of the Skip Time button.
After starting "Sun Tzu #2" and loosing to Susan, it took 22 days to have Rachel ask for help to continue the event (in my game). In "True Nature #1" there is a complete week without relevant options the player has to skip. Besides the monolithic events, the new gameplay is mostly "skip time". The decisions what to do next from the Old Yacht are no longer part of the gameplay.
Similar to "The Island" the new focus is on huge events and skipping time inbetween. Is the yacht model with 12 locations and up to 20 hours (8am-3am) per day still adequate, when more than ca. 95% of the almost 240 possible events per day are empty?
Some parts of the current update seem to be rushed, e.g. most girls got new levels in corruption and exhibition. In Old Yacht content increase in corruption / exhibition was something special, usually combined with new outfits for the girls and new options for the player (e.g. Chloe, show your tits.) Linda gets a new exhibition level when she reveals that she wears no panties but there are no new player options to take advantage of this fact. Emily has a new repeatable option to walk completely naked around the pool, but that is the only option and limited to this special event near the pool in the morning. Amy has an increase in her levels but this seems pointless since this event also removes her from the number of interactable npcs. Chloe got new levels but there are no new options for mc besides a new event in Chloe's dungeon session.

I wonder if you can save some days by playing content from v0.6 - v0.8 together, e.g. go back to end of first Island visit and play complete New Yacht content with current game version v0.8.2.
Is that to spank Amy? If so I went at 6AM and knocks. Rachel answers door naked and tell me to come in.
I can't get The Deal #2 to happen and I followed the walkthrough. I denied her requests more than 2 times and went to my room on multiple thursdays at 15:00 but all Rachel does is get embarrassed and leaves.
Linda kinda risks having no one to have fun with on the yacht by being with Amy behind MC and Emily's back if Amy ever leaves. Emily hates Amy's guts so she would be pissed.
MC's eventual escapades coming out non withstanding.... Maybe he'll get Rachel to like him enough she won't care.

Starting this True Nature #1 is infuriating. I've followed the directions to a T and out of the dozen or so attempts, it's happened once, and Rachel caught Me and Linda thereby decreasing my influence and backfiring. Is that's what's supposed to happen??

Yup. Did that exactly. Every time I go to the bathroom to trigger it (right after talking to Rachel, hour after hour after hour) nothing happens, except for the one time she caught me and Linda. Does it need to be on a certain day, or at a certain hour?

Very well summed up, it mirrors what I said when 0.7 came out and mentioned it felt very linear. 0.8 continues this trend and makes it worse - high-quality renders and well-written scenes that are not-well-at-all-integrated into the game. The recent Updates felt less than CMA and more like BB - endlessly skipping time, waiting for something to happpen, the MC being a passenger rather than an actor.
I can see how this came into being from a storytelling POV, but from a gameplay perspective, the recent updates are... steps in the wrong direction.
