Thank your for the reply, long detailed explanations and being civil and respectful about all of it. I don't really sure what the reaction of the fans when I post my experience playing this game, and yeah I am not familiar with Complet, Atelier Sakura or mystery NTRS in general. I played blind as a fox and I am not aware of the mystery NTRS aspect of the game (it was not mentioned anywhere and even if it was, I wouldn't know what it means anyway). I guess only fans of this genre will immediately pick it up but for clueless players like me will be dumbfounded all the way.-1st the game is inspired by old Japanese VN's specifically very much likeYou must be registered to see the linksgames (Visually and Engine) So having more text than CGs is pretty normal. Not to mention old Japanese VNs have a typically long Common Route before ANY choice is given.
-Chronological? Oh you mean actually seeing the "act." Well, it's a mystery NTRS. You only see it in the end like so many other mystery NTRS (ex.You must be registered to see the linksNTRS games) Sure I would like to see it too, but as it is... the development cycle would be even longer if the Dev implemented both views out of the gate.
-This I agree, It's strange to put a 'paywall' on the gallery. At the very least unlock the gallery in the public releases for the CG's we've seen. Any extras that are Patreon exclusive is fine to be blocked in public releases (ex. Wallpapers/extra scenes/Patreon exclusive content)
I think get the idea behind it, that MC is questioning himself about all the situations (roughly). It is just less appealing to me because of the usage of first person pronouns in the narrations as if the game is telling me I am the MC that is doing or thinking about stuff, whereas I am only a 'viewer' into Tatsuki's slice of life. Personally, I would like if it had been in the third person pronouns but I guess that would break immersion (which is another aspect that are important to most players but I don't really care-I don't agree with your assessment that only Self-inserts would like the game. I NEVER self-insert myself to any of the adult games I've ever played and I do enjoy this VN. I treat it as I am reading a Novel. I'm sure there are others out there that do it as well AS self-inserting themselves. That would be more of a fair assessment IMO. MC questioning himself is THE point of this VN, It's a mystery NTRS. Is she just satisfying his Kink or is it something more? Is she lying? Playing around that concept is the main selling point of this VN over others. Again that's your opinion and you do you.
Okay, good to know that, thanks. I will probably wait a little bit longer or probably just wait until the reveal then (since I am much more interested in Hana perspectives than the MC although I know now that is not the game intention or real premise). Considering that the game has not even reach the Katsuo 'arc' then I guess it will be a long way to go-In case you didn't know since you've only just found this VN, each update gets about 2 to 3 CGs per update. You'll get even less content per-update if the dev implemented the Wife's POV as well. And the 'hidden' aspect is the Point of this VN until the reveal so to speak.
-The start of the branching path is at V15. As you said, choices before that are all just variations but after V15 you get multiple paths. V16 introduces 2 more paths. Two on Route 1 and one in Route 2 so far. Since you've only played V15 and as to not spoil you, "go home" is one such branch not implemented in V15 but IS in V16. You can find V16 leaked if you read past page btw.
