Milking is something MrDots is most definitely NOT doing. The dev is writing the story he wants to tell, in both DMD and Melody, just because the MC and the main girl doesn't engage in penetrative sex right off the bat does NOT make it milking, even if it takes a year or longer than that for them to finally engage in it, doesn't make it milking, because the story is NOT about them fucking, it's about their lives and their relationship and the development of it as well as the people around them. But if that's your definition of milking, then you've got it all wrong. Milking is when you're accepting/taking money from people on a monthly basis and give them nothing in return for months, not so much as development news, or just downright abandoning the project after a while, THAT'S milking. Just because a story goes on for a very long time, doesn't qualify as milking by any standards.
