I feel the same about 95% of games on this site. Cut out the boring filler, the thousand lines of dialogue which just repeats itself and gets really boring, and use that time to actually finish a game (only like 5% of games ever get finished here) and start a new one. That way you have a whole series of shorter but better games that people can enjoy.
There are some really good games on here with wonderful stories. I think people and a majority of developers are either lazy, greedy or a combination of both. I can count on just one hand the best developers who have great stories and they update regularly without fail. Non of this rinse and repeat lines just to add padding/filler to make the game appear bigger than it really is.
The other problem is a people problem, in that seemingly a vast majority people, can't be bothered to ready very much or anything at all, or simply cannot read in the first place, there are too many illiterate people in the world in this day and age who just want to look at the so called 'pretty (porn) pictures in the vn'. I am not blaming them, there is obviously a good reason why they are illiterate in the first place which is really sad.
The dev getting $1600+ a month and he doesn't have enough motivation? That is more money than an average salary in some european countries and in south east asia. No doubt he also works full time, so he is getting his monthly salary on top. Regardless its still a lot of money from a hobby, he should be thankful imo.
