I have the opposite view.
First few updates this game was awesome and on the road to be one of the better games on the site.
These past 3 or 4 updates have been terrible.
I do not totally disagree with you...the story have not been moving forward a lot in the last couple of updates.
I might not have been very clear, but I'm specifically referring to the quality of the language/grammar (That was the weak point in the game for me up to now.)
I just randomly looked at a couple of initial sentences
"O Shit, I think she realized that I was staring her ass"
"What is the honour of your visit?"
"Offer her sleep together"
"Maybe a little message will like her"
and renders/posing
Compared to the latest update.
The Jiu Jitsu posing and renders were very well done in my opinion.
The English was not a distraction for me at all in this update.
I did not encounter a single bug (And I replayed the previous version as well and all the bugs on that version was also resolved. So all in all the Update had a lot of polish for me.
But yes...the game is currently a bit stuck. I would say since we lost the fight, not a lot have happened to move the story forward. But since his releases are relatively regular and on schedule, it would be way to early in my opinion to start with panic stations.
A big flaw of his game
IMO, is the cumulative points per girl. This i
s due to his decision beforehand of his game design.
Without a walkthrough, this will mean you get less and less content without even realizing it. Unlike other games where this causes your path to change, in this game you just loose the girl and content if you make "mistakes".
This however is a game design flaw that becomes more apparent as the games progress. (That is why I started the walkthrough, I just realized that you miss a ton of content if you did not do everything correct earlier on in the game.)
