The rework seems to remove all nudity and H scenes in the first chunk of the game. I played 7 hours and I haven't even seen a nipple. Given the same path, I would have had 3 or 4 scenes before the rework.
I get he wants the girls to have more of a buildup, but it's gone too far. It's just boring when you need 20 hours of dialogue before you even make a tiny amount of progress. The biggest problem is that it's mostly filler dialogue, not meaningful dialogue. The game is huge already and most girls still don't have much going on in the romantic department. Now with this update he's delayed the ones we did have until much further into the game. I just don't see that being a smart decision for drawing in new supporters. People will play this game first for the H scenes. Character attachments, story, and hardcore fans come later. You need breadcrumbs to build that dedication but this rework removes them.
There is no reason why a couple of the girls shouldn't be easier to get with. That's realistic. The fact we have to progress on every girl, even ones we don't care for, make this matter worse. It makes the beginning of the game incredibly boring cause you basically have to get to know 10 girls through 50+ hours of mostly filler dialogue, then when you are finally done, another 10 show up and you repeat it.
So far, not a fan of the rework. This game had so much potential but it's 95% filler dialogue, 4% meaningful dialogue, and 1% H game. I really hope chapter 3 kicks this into a higher gear otherwise I will probably cancel my $5 tier. At the rate this is going, this game is going to be 50GB by the time we can H most girls.
