As I said, the updates taking a long time is expected and par for the course for this game. It's always possible you will end up being right, but I've never got that feeling from this dev. And, of course, not all devs are the same: a pattern that you believe you see still doesn't equate to determining the eventual outcome. You don't have to agree, but I personally won't believe this is abandoned unless the dev officially says it is. I don't think your view is any more realistic than mine.

Of course he rejected it! He's put all of this time into hand-drawing everything so far, why on earth would he abandon that halfway through? Speeding things along isn't the point with this game; crafting the scenes with artistic love is. Sorry and no offense intended, but I think using AI for anything in this is a terrible idea.
I like the art, but if the art is the bottleneck, I would absolutely support using AI in the process to get a faster workflow.

But most likely, the dude is just real busy with real life so it is what it is. AI or no, it will be a slow process. One that realistically might never finish.

It's honestly quite discouraging to make pretty art for entirety of the game, post your game and then see in comments people saying how AI art would be better. Game's art is fine.
Progress is slow because it's a 2D game with low support, slow burn story and dev working a day job.

I feel like it's because they love the game and don't want it to get abandoned just cause the author couldn't be bothered with the art anymore

How hypocritical people are - the main problem of the game popularity is the lack of graphics/animation.

Just look at the rival games (like Randel Tales, Knightly Passions, Refuge of Embers or even some trash like Eternum or Being a DIK) with a dumber plot, but with good animation - they have a much more audience/subscribers.

Making a lot of assumptions there, like that Worlaix cares about any of that. This is a hobby, not his job

My memory is not perfect, but I seem to recall that the dev was in law school, which he recently graduated from. Yay! Does that mean the dev is now free to work on the game all the time? Well, obviously not lol. Bro is probably busting his ass studying for the bar exam. So will he have time after the exam?! Well, how much time would a newly minted lawyer have to work on a porn game hobby? I dunno.

Basically, this is a hobby/side project for the dev. It ain't about the money, since his real life prospects are much better than whatever he can make from coomers on patreon. The time he can devote to developing this one will likely be very limited for the foreseeable future.

You are disgusting.
I will not pretend that erotic and porn games need to think much about the content, the plot or the interestingness of the characters. Damn it, if there is one thing I have realized lately, it is that most people are into horror like rape or pregnancy, which is the furthest thing from my interests (just looking at beautiful young sex characters). And I am not even talking about the constant hypertrophy of the male and female body, when a skinny student has a 50 centimeter dick and an ordinary housewife has a huge ass and tits that would break her spine.
No, I have simple requests - to jerk off to beautiful male and female bodies. And, perhaps, not to spoil the impression that the game has terrible and boring gameplay (which 90% of non-novel games suffer from) or that the main character/characters are not assholes and idiots who are placed in an artificial world to fuck and satisfy my fantasies.
But even if it is, the last thing I would do would be to go into some section of the game and say - hey, developer, your graphics are crap. Because, believe me, I remember those ugly models from the 00s and 10s, with a small number of shaders and pixels.
And this game has very nice visuals and the right presentation of the story. Hardly anyone thought that in an erotic novel there would be well-written heroes and interesting characters as well as a detailed lore, but ... here we are.

You dumb as fuck, can you show me - where I said that dev art are crap?
I told - why this game with a great story is much less popular than the crap you described.

Oh, how you're shaking. Does the truth hurt your eyes?
You wrote in your post that you lack graphics and animation. And compared hand-drawn graphics with 3D modeling with Eternum or Being a Dick. This already shows how stupid you are.
