A year.
A literal year between updates. And you end it on a cliffhanger.... What the actual fuck?

I don't get it.
Exactly. I haven't touched #9 yet, but from what I've read, we have quite a few side girls now. That is what is confusing. If Emily is our only true path then why keep adding all of these women whom we will never end up with? And it's not like they are included for some meaningless sex to hold you over while the main LI romance heats up. On the contrary, not much is happening with any of them besides Ash and to a lesser extent Sam. At the snail's pace of the game's plot, there is no way anything meaningful (romance or otherwise) will happen with all of these side girls in a respectable amount of time, if at all.First time I played this it was 4 episodes long, checked it out a couple weeks back, went trough all the story pretty fast and this new chapter length is underwhelming to say the least.
Biggest issue I have with the game is the "main LI" thing where you're shoehorned into pursuing Emily whether you want to or not, at the same time that the main plot actually happens with Ashley. So no matter what content you get in the update, either nothing happens in the main plot, or nothing happens with Emily. And that's not even touching on all the sidechicks. I also really have no feeling to the length of the story, whether there's 3 episodes left or 10.
Can't really complain much since I'm not paying the author or whatever, props to the actual supporters for enabling us to see at least this much of the game.
yepWhat is the problem with new characters? Is there a rule that every girl in the game is there just to have sex with the main character? maybe the new girls are there for some plot stuff later on.
Well, that's a stupid rule. That's probably why there are so many unsubstantiated sex scenes in games just for quantity.
It's not about the sex scenes or lack thereof. It has to do with adding more and more characters when we haven't had enough progression with either the main LI or the main cast. This game moves too slowly for a cast this size. We are at chapter 9 and how far have we moved through the main plot? When a story moves this slowly (and episodes release so sporadically) there is no way all of these characters are going to receive the proper amount narrative focus, unless this is a decade long game.What is the problem with new characters?

Maybe new girls are needed later on as traps in the way of a relationship with Emily...It's not about the sex scenes or lack thereof.

Another thing I don't understand about Emily is why the game allows you to stray from her in the beginning if she is our required love. In my first playthrough, I ignored her as much as I could and focused on Ash and Sam...and the game let me. I think you miss a number of relationship points with Emily by doing so. How will you reconnect with her by end game if you have done everything possible to ignore and anger her along the way? Don't tell me there is a bad end where if you're not on Emily's path you get nothing...and no one?
That could definitely be an interesting way to do it, but from everything I've heard so far, it's Emily or nothing. I still hope that the dev changes his mind. The story would be much better if you could choose from at least two different LIs.Maybe new girls are needed later on as traps in the way of a relationship with Emily...
I could be wrong and be corrected, but she is not a necessary love. She is the only one this love can be with and the finale with her alone will be like a fairy tale. It is possible to piss her off and get a finale with someone else, it will just be a more superficial relationship.
