1. LomL is being developed by one man alone with a day job and a marriage therefore can not work 12 hours a day on this project while living in his moms basement saving rent and telling gullible people to fund his way through life for some fapping pictures.
2.
naughtyroad does not yet make enough money to quit his day job and work on this full time. Even if that was the case he isn't sure about doing so cause despite what other devs claim to get you to spend more money on them to bullshit you in believing they work fulltime on the game afterwards this is a big life changing decision cause if it goes sideways this also could influence his real life and his marriage.
3.
naughtyroad presents his game in chapters. Instead of giving you like "other devs" an update peer week or month with 20 renders and jackshit in terms of story progression you get an entire chapter with bug fix and tested gameplay so you will not crash once you download and play it. Also this is HIS choice on how he wants to present each update. Not yours not mine.
A render takes 20 minutes, a solid one as you described takes about an hour. So in conclusion you have 0 knowledge of the topic you try to argue. As to make 200 renders would take 200 hours that is render time alone. Not including, posing, lightning, coding, writing, bugfixing etc.
What some people think about the pace of development has to concern us why exactly? If they dislike it they can cry to the mod who will show them the door. If they find the characters unattractive the mod will also show them the door or the banhammer.
Beauty lies in the eye of the beholder so there is no right or wrong as beauty is subjective in your daily life.
And that is literally scratching the surface of what this game has to offer. I could take the game in its current state and walk into a university and teach students how you portray the 5 stages of grief with the art of VN or by the writen dialouge alone.
Or to put it more simply. Giving this game a 1 star review is like telling students of literature that Goethe couldn't write for shit and should have been a farmer instead.
Edit: Thank you to the mod cleaning up. But God damn you guys are fast
