The regular updates don't matter, the perceived diligence doesn't matter, what matters is that I, a normal average joe user that checks in from time to time, have looked at this game legitimately two years ago (10/04/2023 according to my files) and the game didn't change a single bit bar for some useless garbage to keep fans like you tricked into thinking there's progress. One or two more h-animations within TWO YEARS is absolute garbage progress and if it's not laziness or lack of discipline to finish a product, it's a deliberate slowing of progress to get more money.
You can fire up the game, play for 20 minutes and already encounter the first "teehee there's no content here yet but there will be in the future!" garbage. This should absolutely not be happening in a game that's been developed for YEARS, especially one that has all core mechanics (movement, combat, etc.) finished and all that's missing is content.
You're being grifted or profoundly stupid, one or the other.
Edit: In fact, let me show some receipts:
