If you read my first comment, the subject here is not girl-boy-gay-lesbian-trans etc.
Not everyone does write VNs for living, for some it's a side project which they create to entertain (OK, they get money out of this but only the big creators can live earning that much, if you calculate the estimated income, take 25-30% of the income after taxes, insurance aso). So we have to wait for the creator to have time to write the code and scenes, place the renderings and render them (without the proper hardware which will cost 10k for one rig), test it and release, it's not uncommon for these creators to release only 1-2 times a year (OK, with little bigger releases but not that big as the leading ones making 7500 renders and 1 hour of rendered video sequences a year).
The non-content update you are pointing as not an update was a rather substantial update though. You are correct in that is wasn't "new" content rather redone "old" content, but it was a thorough reworking for the first part to make the make more sense. The early game was entirely re-written. The variables and relationships were re-coded. Quite a few renders were redone. I get people not wanting to look at that sort of thing as new content, but it really was. The early game was vastly improved, and frankly needed improving. Many complained about it, and the dev fixed it. I'm not absolving the dev at the pace of her dev cycles, she's had a bunch of "problems" that sound made up to me. Nonetheless claiming the redo isn't real content is willful blindness imo.The last story content update wasnt 6 month ago, it was 8 months ago on November 4th.

The Update that is listed here for January added no new content beyond apparently redoing early "pictures" which you can even see in the Changelog. I have no horse in the race but people are using wrong information, which bothers me.
Either way, I hope the next Update doesnt take much longer tho, one of my favorite games. But looking at the progress update its probably gonna be a few more months sadly. Oh well, nothing we can do about it.
you can support the dev on their patreon site, it's linked in the OP. Payment I think can be done via paypal or debit card. It's pretty standard. It's billed monthly and you can stop whenever you want.
And this is the problem with Patreon. Don't have a patreon page then. Simple isn't it. No responsibility and do/release stuff when you can. If you're going to have one then with taking money (regardless if it's considered as a 'donation'), comes responsibility. With responsibility comes commitment.
Would you made a bet about it? Let's say 500 Euros donate to UNICEF. I pay them if it's abandoned by Nyx and you pay when it's finished.
Better said: She couldn't handle so many Badass Fappers who just spill Bad-Shit bout the VN and joking bout him/her. Reason Number 1 because many Dev's say goodby to this Community.
Do you ask us or do you know it? If you know more than that what Nyx shared in her updates tell us.
I love that you are so sure about this. Hopefully your conviction is true and Nyx will not abandon the project.
Why should she? Just because some players have no idea how much effort it takes to make a game and are mistaken in assuming that one person can deliver an update every quarter in their spare time? There are two options for devs: 1. small updates with little content and therefore short times between updates or 2. longer waiting times but a decent amount of content. Personally, I'd rather wait a few months and then have one, two or more hours of playtime instead of getting an update once a month, which I can finish in fifteen minutes.
