You are absolutely right, I must create some graphics to notify how much is missing for the increase of stats, it will be present in the next act
I'd also appreciate the same for anything else that's similar. Immediate examples that come to mind being the usage of massage oil on Lunch (first time I played, I just used it twice, didn't see any change so figured I need to do something else first), and the fishing for 18. Maybe a note on how much you need on the fridge?
As for the difficulty of the combat, I'd also agree that enemies' stats are too high. Technically it's not really difficult, but spamming med herbs every 2nd action for 30 actions or so isn't really a fun experience. The combat overall isn't exactly engaging, so having to put that much work in, feels... not fun, to say the least.
On that note, I'd put most of the minigames (farming and first 2 dojo actions) on the same spot. The breaking tables one is nice, it requires *some* sort of skill and isn't overly long.
The other 2 are just... boring. And the farming game would be decent enough, but feels rather long.
I've also run into a couple of other issues. One of them being 18 "resetting" her progress. I got the scenes after paying her the money (at which point the questlog says to "look it up at kamehouse, not sure what's even meant with that), but after ... some (unsure what exactly) actions I got back to seeing her in the shower, then talking to her in the kitchen, before repeating the scene in her bedroom.
edit: Okay, I think I got it. If you attempt to train more at the dojo, 18s progress goes back to where you can spy in on her in the shower.
And even after 18 sends to you to go loom for videl, her quest doesn't update to either "next update", or whatever comes afterwards.
Similiar thing happened with the fan at the oven, even after getting it, I had to repeat a couple of conversations where everyone acted as if I was still in the middle (or even just starting) the questline. Even at the oven at the end, I had to go there twice in a row, first time I got the same message as if I'd never been there, 2nd time I got the proper "I've found it, i'll fix the fire at mountain" one. Nothing done in between.
edit: Just replayed that part, if you go directly to the oven, it works fine. So it's going somewhere else (probably needs to be connected to the questline) that throws you into the middle of it.
Lastly, I've run into an issue where I can't close the "girls" menu.

It's either that one, or the selection of the girls. Shows in most screens, and I can even open it a 2nd time (getting that also stuck)

It seems to happen when you have that selected one of the girls in the menu, and then click on any menu "tab" again, including the girls one.
edit2: Arala still keeps repeating her lines, as if you'd never gotten the pen/feather, as well.
