About what happened to Latecomer. The short story is, Late had huge health problems which led to the decline of ES.
After this one, two etc... months and even years went by. But rather than finding someone new to help with the coding Blue badly managed the game, patreon etc... which only helped to the decline of the game.
Then rather recently Late health got better and came back but, as you can see ES already had declined too much during that time.
Yes I remember his health problems. . . in January 2021.

Then, he was better a couple months later. Work resumed. Then in September a poll was released. Remember it? "Do you want us to remove the character cards for a 2021 release or keep them in for a 2022 release?". Then in early 2022 it was discovered by people in this thread that Latecomer, the MAIN translator, CODER for the merge and PROJECT MANAGER for Bluecats team is working on 1 or 2 other projects. I do know for a fact 100% that it is at least 1 project but I might be misremembering the 2nd.

Here we are in August 2022. A full 2 years since the merge was talked about being worked on. Now we come to my question of what happened to him.

He is working on other projects. Shouldn't he be focusing on the merge that he is being payed for? Or was he fired from the team? The last post on Patreon mentions Bluecat "taking the helm on month 1". Sounds like Latecomer has been proven to be a liar and is now gone. BUT! But! I don't know. Thats why I was asking.

Hey, I'm currently playing week 1 and was wondering if theres any way to avoid getting involved with Fuyu?

Don't get me wrong, shes very likeable but i dislike how MC all of a sudden becomes a lovestruck virgin teenager with tunnel vision whenever she's involved...
She's not just a character but also a plot device so you can't avoid her. If you did have an option to refuse her you would pretty much lose out on everything. I wasn't fond of this either in the beginning but once I saw how she is integral to the rest of the story it was all good.

I still find it hilarious that someone here on the forums was able to create the one month merge in hours. Yet BC can't get his "team" together to make it in 2+ years. I just want to play the game as one entity not 10 separate releases with a convoluted patch scheme.

Wanna hear something even more hilarious than that? The merge was supposed to be the foundation that all future days will be based on. If Bluecat can't get the merge out but continues to put out days, all those days will have to be reworked for the 6 month merge. More reworks, more waiting. Ha ha ha ha ha funny right?

Is ther a plot to this beyond "fuck everything that moves"?
every VN has a plot... it depends on the user if the plot existent in the VN is considered a plot or not.
as for your question exactly, from my point of view, yes, it does have a plot.
