Please tell me how to pass the "Word of the Day" event, or rather the answers to the questions "Grow", I will be very grateful!
Holy damn didn't know this game got DMCA and taken down on itch until I'm browsing on reddit and saw a post talked about it, is it the reason for the total rework?

The wiki has all the hex/japanese/ROT coded text translated behind a spoiler warning, if you want to go that route.
Sex scenes that happen within the story itself are not animated. You do start unlocking animated scenes a little further in. If you knock on a girls door and you get a list of options, the first one being "Hang out" (advance story/grind affection), then the next one might be "finger" or "tit job", those scenes are animated. THey usually unlock shortly after you do that with that particular girl in a non-animated scene first.

Strap yourself in, this gets convoluted.
For quite some time, Selebus has talked about wanting to rework the first chapter of the game, because a large chunk of it doesn't meet his self-set quality standard. He had some conflicting visions of what the project would be at first, and now that he's decided exactly what he wants it to be, he's doing a big cleanup/revision of the early game. That's the rework we're in right now.
HOWEVER, there was a DIFFERENT rework back in January. That was due to Patreon deciding the character models looked too young, so he had to go through and write all the sex scenes out of the game and recreate the game as "Legend of the Huggy Boy" for Patreon, which is why we now have a sex and no-sex version for download here.
What appears to have happened with itch.io is that an ethics group DMCA'd the game last week. This is an all-new wrinkle, and we don't have much more data than that it's an "ethics group" of some sort behind it. Selebus has stated that at least one KK-derived game has been restored to itch.io since the takedown, so it's probably only temporary.
Does the wiki really have ALL the hex translated? Is there a page for it all? Because there are several events that have hex or foreign languages that are not provided on the wiki pages for those events.
The guide mod is only updated up to the public release. So if you are downloading the latest release it won't be ready yet.

Every single case of foreign languages that I've gone to the wiki to check has been translated, and since I don't bother to manually translate those, that's pretty much every case in which it appears.
I can't be quite as certain about the Hex/ROT stuff, because those are much less annoyiing to self-translate.

Applying a patch for a different base version of the game than you're running can cause some pretty wierd errors, so I wouldn't advise it.
Well looks like the Patreon got taken down. I'm getting sick of Patreon pulling shit like this.
Copied from the Discord:
THIS IS AN SOS:
Despite there being literally zero adult content on Patreon, they have randomly decided to delete my page- removing roughly 80% of my income along with it.
I am hereby calling on all patrons to switch over their subscriptions to SubscribeStar because I have absolutely no idea what else to do at the moment.
2022 Has been a year comprised of nothing but headache after headache thus far, but I will not let it dissuade me from continuing to develop the game that brought all of us together.
There is still a chance the Patreon page gets reinstated seeing as I'm allowed an appeal and am fighting it as we speak, but given the service's likelihood to just try and fuck me whenever they please, I no longer encourage anyone to support me through them.
The future of the game depends on this move. I will not be able to keep creating it if I am no longer making a livable wage.

I agree, there's no point in appeasing them because they are fickle when it comes to their moral guidelines. Kamuo had to remove an animation because of their drawn face alone, 18+ voice actor have censor their non-visual content, erotic novelists too. Censorship when it comes to fictional content is so arbitrary at times. But Patreon content creators continue get on their knees because money is king.

They're enforcing a very different set of terms of use than they have posted lately.

You may have a copy that is bugged, download again.
You might not be remembering as well because of the break you had from the game, resulting in them seeming more scary. Just a theory, not sure what is the actual cause.
Basically what Barglenarglezous said, but the real kicker is about the history of this so called "ethics" group. They've been after multiple different games on Itch.io, according to Selebus, all Koikatsu based. They've lost their claims every time so far before any legal action was taken, but they are at major risk if a victim of these false takedowns takes them to court for being falsely claimed as they are then liable for any damages, including legal fees.
The patch may be updated to work with the newer versions, so it may not work on yours. If you still have sex scenes in your images folder, you don't need it (look for Miku or Molly images where they are topless, those were removed from the images folder and are restored with the patch. If you have those, you don't need the patch). The guide mod is updated only with the public version, so no, it is not yet up to date with the latest version of the game because the latest version is patron only at the moment.
I'm not sure if there is one to hold them all, but it does have all of that translated. If it isn't all on one, check the individual event pages.
They are, people here have said as much in the past.
Probably the "ethics" group again if I had to guess, or some stupid troll reporting the game for violations it did not commit, or there is one more possibility, Patreon learned of the SubscribeStar version (Patreon does not like when creators use other sites to skirt Patreon rules, content that is removed for Patreon has to be removed in ALL versions or they take the Patreon page down. I have seen this multiple times). It was a full removal, too, no suspension this time (exactly like they usually do, one suspension and then it is gone).
I am SO sorry, man. This was completely undeserved and I am officially pissed at them, you have my continued support. I am quite literally in shock right now, this is the single biggest nightmare situation that I could see for the game and I had desperately hoped it would not come true.
Keep fighting, I for one have your back, as much as that's worth.
I'm short right now for anything extra, but I'll look into that and the game pass more seriously now, plus one of those shirts if they are still in stock when I get around to buying. Now, if you'll excuse me, the rage room awaits and I need to blow off some steam before I go off where I shouldn't.
Moral guidelines? That's the funniest thing I've heard since the new rules were implemented. They answer to their payment processors and credit card companies. There were no moral guidelines, there never were, it was all about keeping the money going because those processors and card companies have business in countries that severely ban certain content and basically demanded a crackdown.
This is why Patreon is a mortal enemy I will never turn to for money.
They are and that is unacceptable. Creators need to start opposing this.

Fucking hell.
Is Kamuo the source of that infamous pic of an exchange with Patreon support where they say 'the face is still that of a child' because it was anime style (the lady in question had adult proportions and giant honkers to boot)?
I'll admit I was.. somewhat surprised... that Patreon didn't do this earlier because of their ridiculous policies regarding content on other platforms (if you do anything ANYWHERE that they disapprove of, they give you the boot). I had hoped that the fact that they DIDN'T do this was a sign that they were trending back towards sanity.
So much for that.
Book 9: I know the answer, I'm pretty sure. I need to use the Unlock All Answers thing right? It keeps telling me it's for premium users, is Subscribestar membership not considered premium user? Or am I missing something and this is just the game being the game? xD

Honestly, I am also surprised at this, there HAVE been other games that got their page terminated specifically because they offered a version that retained offending content on other sites. I've said it before and I will say it again, this is an abuse of power that creators should be fighting and they have literally no right to dictate what goes on other websites.

Incidentally do we know why platforms do this? It isn't just Patreon.
The closest thing to a cogent argument that I've ever read was that apparently with adult content there tend to be more chargebacks, but I don't even know if that's true.
Back in the day I would have assumed it was just due to pressure from certain groups but those groups are no longer in the ascendant, and while there are certainly others that have picked up the torch with equal (or even greater) fervor, they don't (yet) have the same sort of reach as their predecessors.
Do the numbers just work out behind the scenes in such a way that more money comes in if everything is 'squeaky clean' so to speak? I find that kinda hard to believe, but what else is there?
