You gotta think past your personal desires and think what's best for the game. Honestly, it's why game dev who let the audience decide what gets developed are usually sub-par. In terms of development.
If you're going to add 10 characters yet focus on 1 or 2 because that's what the people say they want...then why did you waste all that time on the other 8 characters? This is why I say that other than story based characters, you shouldn't add more characters until those main characters are completely* done.
This game should have been only about Daisy, Anna and maybe Emmi, Mae and Mabel since they were a part of it from the get go. Others such as Fairy, Doucie and the mom should be introduced but not expanded on until Daisy and Anna were done*. Everyone else should not have even been created yet (and I'm saying this despite loving the scene with the swim team girl).
(* by done I mean finished up to consensual sex)
For all the time spent:
Daisy - should have been up to consenting sex. In the bath, sleeping with her, special massage, helping her harvest corn, all of that should lead to sex.
Anna - should be more aware of sex and not still limited to hand/blowjobs and playing with MC's like a toy.
Emmi - should have beeeeen to the point of the recent update, maybe even further.
Mae - perfect example of getting to the finish line and then stopping.
Mabel - of the 5 should have been the last one to be worked on but should extend further the more you play with her. The groping after school she gets into it more and let you do more before snapping out. And the cheating day, should be at the point where it's no longer by accident.
