It's impossible to please everyone. I, for one, appreciate that some choices shorten the game. I don't like it when developers purposely stretch all the choices so that the content is the same size for every path.

Again, this is not about pleasing everyone, this is about game development philosophy - don't offer choices that lead nowhere, just to have a choice. It is not meaningful, only deceptive.
Besides, there's a humongous difference in having a 'shorter' path (comparatively) based on different choices, but in this case, the difference in question was staggering:
-> Spare Cass (0.5) -> A -> B -> C -> D -> E -> F -> Corronation.
-> Kill Cass (0.5) -> A -> Corronation.
If that isn't laughable, I don't know what is...

There is only one doubt residing in me.... why the fuck would you kill Cass? She is the best thing in the game. Do you have cum in your brains by any chance?

This is my favorite VN game. It may not have the best renders or the best English syntax, but the ones that do usually take 6 to 8 months between updates. The fact that this gets updated every 1 to 2 months is why I would choose it over other VN games and gladly support the dev financially.
Dude this developer releases his game almost every 2 months, if you want for him to develop every route equally it would stretch the game development cycle to 3-4 months at best. This game is free not because you are pirating it, but because he himself gives it for free every 2 months on a good quality level overall. So it's not without a reason to give the developer some leniency, or you can play Being a Dik, oh wait it's not out yet.
Y'all are still debating that dude?
After the same argument has been remade in multiple posts with no end in sight, and then devolved into the usual shilling accusations, I recommend the ignore feature.
I had great results with it!

For example, in the AAA game Far Cry 4 you can simply stay and enjoy the crab rangoon in the beginning and get the secret ending:

Besides, choice (Kill Cass) has a few plot's concequences: 1) Sign that as the plot unfolds, MC will return to the burial site ("Do you memorize this place?"); 2) It's a second wrong choice (First - alliance with Cass) for Ludwig (disruption of nature balance), which will affect on the West's trip.

Then don't write parallel storylines that can't be achieved within a 2-month dev cycle.
I can't be blamed for asking the developer to put something on my plate as well, when he's handing out free meals to everybody else.

Come on, that is clearly intended to be more of an easter egg than a "canon" path.
And I understand there might be some unique consequences on the "Kill Cass" path (which I am eagerly awaiting), after which I will gladly eat my words here and donate a hefty sum to LM...
... but all of LM's behaviour indicates that I won't live to see a patch dedicated solely to dealing with that particular state of affairs like the Coup was.
Thank you for acknowledging me.

Hi. I recently moved to a new location, so I missed a couple of days of development. But now I'm back to my old pace. I also created two backups for myself on a specially purchased hard drive and online storage, so there will be no more precedents like with the Queen's event in 0.7.
Thank you so much for your support!
Red King all the way baby! Ya know what they say, power is the most potent aphrodisiac...

shit load of AVN games are like this tho. even the highly-rated ones like Eternum

To be fair, Eternum is a fairly kinetic novel. You can't really make a wrong choice (unless you purposefully don't want to romance some girls), and AFAIK you can't "lose" either. It's not nearly the no.1 reason why that game is so highly-rated.
What happened to the blonde elf you captured (Val) and her pretty redhead friend (Alessa) who stole the horse? Last scene you help her pee and tied her back to the tree then she's never mentioned or seen again. Did Lazy Monkey just get lazy with the story? Really hoped they would be part of it. At least a brief explanation of her sentence to bring closure.

She show's up again quite a bit later out of nowhere, though she is a side character so while not great that she was neglected for so long it does make a degree of sense given priority's.
