I see lots of people complaining about this update, which in this game's year of life never happened.
Although the number of new scenes is consistent with other updates, one of the things I'll point out is that compred to other updates this one has fewer fanservice shorts of Zahara and Shani (myself in the scene with Nadia in the last update, I was scrolling back to get a good look at Zahara in her semitranslucent top in the marketplace like O.O). In other words, the sooner you start fapping, the longer the update feels. That's just how the f95 audience is.
I appreciate the visuals and story progression in this update, but it seems many other users are here for a different kind of eye candy. If you're going to alternate a "very lewd" and "very artistic/story-driven" updates, the less lewd updates are always going to have people complaining, "Why short? Me no fap!"
But hey, I'm a random guy on the internet and that's just my addition to the forum. I liked the update and look forward to the next one.
