Why do all versions eventually get released for free? I do not know, maybe palmer reads this thread and knows we play his gave for free so after he makes his money he gives it out because he values the satisfaction he receives from people playing his game too. Unfortunately money pays more bills than satisfaction.
This is just speculation I may be completely incorrect in my assessment, you'd have to ask palmer.

The original Ch10 that appeared here was a cracked one, the one that was just released by Palmer is the official one.
i try to use the backup files but when i try to play the chapter i get this message
"we've detected that you have not previously played chapter 8 of this game ... " this when i try to play chapter 9
my doubt is if im copying the file to the right place !!!
i copy the files to the main folder of each chapter, is this the right place?

So I've just caught up with the game having put it off for a couple of months (4 updates) in order to get a decent sized "fix". I kind of enjoy it but I think some of the decisions you're offered are just stupid and I can't see any kind of knock on effect immediately so I don't know if I'm going to have issues further down the line. I like the models, they are all fairly unique and visually appealing although some of the character renders just seem overly dramatic, like they've got a toolbox of less than a dozen reactions for each character and use them for every dialogue scene. I mean I suppose it's the same for most Japanese Eroge games but still with 3D rendered models I would think that they could churn out more variety. I also don't think the voice acting really adds much to the game but I personally don't like it and turn it off so maybe it's just a personal choice. I'd prefer to just read if I'm not going to get decent voice acting for the whole thing.
All in all, the quality of the game doesn't really dip, it plays well, looks nice and is entertaining but it's not "great", it's good and I'd recommend it but there are definitely things that annoy me a little.

Have you looked at the OP? Chapter 9 Free is right there and hs been for a while.
What are you talking about? This is the BEST way, bar none, that I've seen for this development model. Incremental releases that don't require you to download the whole damn thing over and over again with each new update, no "we changed something so your saves won't work and you'll have to start over at the beginning" bullshit. The only other one found here, (that I've played, anyway,) that comes close to being as sensible a release model as this is "Glassix", with its update patches. A lot of devs could learn from the example of these two games.
The cracked chapter 9 has mega not the free version, I have had no luck with cracked versions they all glitch out on me. And for some reason the only thing I can fully download is mega.

Plenty of games manage not to break previous saves in a single game file, and it could just as easily have been fucked up with this release model. The reason it isn't is that previous saves have largely no effect on the story, not that the chapters are individual programs.
And this means you cannot replay previous chapters without quitting and starting up the previous chapters, you can't change a previous decision and skip ahead to a further point without problems (again, not a problem for this game where choices don't matter, but that would be fatal for most other games).
Literally the only argument against single-executable games is a large download size, which is a very weak argument, as a) there are almost always compressed releases available and b) even assuming you have a shitty connection... so what. You waited a month for a new version, can't wait another hour or two to download it? And if you have a fast connection, it's just another few minutes...
And not to mention that setting up incremental downloads would also be possible for single-executable games, if people cared to do it. Most developers don't, and as a consumer, neither do I.
Tl;dr, this release model is very annoying. But there will be a single game in the end, apparently, so it's only annoying for those among us who can't wait that long. And for this game in particular, I can put up with it.
A bigger issue is that it's not Ren'Py. The game controls are just awful. But that's another story...
