I think the problem with all this is because this game shouldn't take seriously the dev choose this, this was a game for you to get the girls through a watch and that's it, it was never supposed to be a serious story, but right now the dev suddenly decided to change this after a lot of updates later,this is why a lot of players are hating on the update, if the dev wanted a serious story he should have done that from the beginning not 10 episodes later.
Edit:
If the dev wanted drama, he got that just right
