MC has a kind of 2nd personality hidden that comes out and does something with someone who may or may not be a future LI.

Well that's a good loophole to get around the tag lol what perpose this 2nd personality have to the plot, does this personality a completely different person taking control of the MC or Just MC having a desesas or something?
Does this personality has a different name or something?

I don't remember a different name off the top of my head but it's been a bit since I played this so I was getting around to replaying the revised early chapter stuff to see what changed. Gun to my head, I don't think it has a name. It would make more sense in context but the MC is like a hybrid species and part of it has laid dormant for years.

I can't provide too much detail without providing spoilers into the plot, but the second personality for all intents and purposes is still the mc it's just another version of himself. Normally the mc is kind, thoughtful and conscientious. His other personality is aggressive, forceful, and uninhibited. It's still the same MC, so the "ntr" argument doesn't really seem fair.
Just a few thoughts that I had when playing the new version of this VN. Personally, I felt that the first thing you should have done was change the main menu options choice, white text is almost unreadable for the first 2 options. Another thing that also needs addressing is the gallery menu options. Having large images of the female characters as options is very tacky and doesn't look good. It would be better with miniature versions to select from on multiple pages or even just scraping that idea all together and make another menu system with the character names for users to select from which appears more cleanly and professional.
animations wise, Miss Landa's cleaning doggy style scene looks weird because her legs are disproportionate to her upper body size and the cycling animation of how her shirt goes up and down on it's own looks weird. Also, I didn't know they made fishnet pant's with flares and on closer inspection did her tit just fall out of her bra while she was cleaning??
Also, Miss Landa looked old when you initially meet her during the start of the MC's day at the school. However, later on when she's in her bedroom checking out her underwear she looks a lot younger when looking at her face. It might be a good idea to compare them and consider optimizing the images so that the way she looks is consistent with her current age range.
In all honesty, apart from what I mentioned previously I liked both versions of the story but I can understand your reasoning for making the changes that you did.
I was considering the idea that it was his mother being protective of her son through a telekinetic approach. However, that might be tough to spin later if the dev decides to kill off the mother.
I would not consider them the same person. Giving lewd scene's to the other personality imho was not smart. Is this other personality going to have sexual relations with li's in future? I know it is avoidable but the point is why even give H scene's to that personality at all? Is he even aware of this other personality? I agree with the post above about it being a loophole which is why i ignore the avn Growing things up that added dual personality to mc. Will still give this a try and see for myself though.
P.S. If dev reads this if you want shoot me a dm about were this split persona bs is going thanks.

Pretty much everything you asked is covered by simply reading the VN.

It's basically redoing sections of the first chapter. The stopping point is still the same.
Do you really expect our kind, compassionate and empathetic MC to give that bitch the hate fucking she deserved?
Either way for all intents and purposes they are the same person. The dark side of his personality even referred to things that happened to our vanilla MC in the first person. Just my personal theory but I suspect the darker character is just all the negative emotions our MC typically suppresses. It's been a while since I played the last update but as far as I remember Ms. Behr also seems to be under the impression that keeping him sexually satisfied suppresses that side of him. So the dark personality seems to come out when the kind one's pushed past the limits of his own decency and doesn't have a safe outlet, sex, to release that negativity.

There is quite a lot of new, changed and removed content from the first chapter and a little in the second chapter. Don't believe there is anything new after part 2. The game is great, so definitely worth a replay, but if you just want to see the changes, replay until the onsen part or so and then you can fast forward to the end to get ready for the next update.
Definately good enough to replay fully though. That's what I just did.

I also dropped Growing Things UP for the dual personality so I know where you're coming from, but the story so far makes it seem like that this is the same person.
The MC being half human/mermaid, it seems his mermaid side takes over in that moment because he was in danger, and later on that side takes over when his arousal levels get too high and he's conscious enough to deal with that problem in the mall just to get back to normal. We don't know enough about his mermaid side yet, but it seems like the mermaid personality is more instinctually driven rather than be a deep seeded trauma induced separate personality like in GTU.

Yeah, I thought that at first too and I actually got annoyed at first. But I went back and re-read through the scenes again and he's referring to everything that happened as if it happened to himself. "he hit me with a bat" "they're going to destroy my home" "those are my friends" etc., so I am pretty much convinced it's just his mermaid side is more instinctual and as someone else mentioned most likely his negative emotions that he keeps buried deep down.

it's the entire game
nope! it only affects dialogue.
generative AI isn't used in any aspect of this game and never will :]
Thanks for the detailed feedback! I'm down to update the menu UI if people think the buttons are hard to see. If I'm being completely honest though, I'm pretty happy with the gallery. I'm an absolute amateur coder, and I included it because it was requested enough. It totally works and I've gotten comfortable using it. I guess the usability is the only important thing to me in this case. If I ever get enough support to the point where I can hire someone to improve it, that could be interesting! Currently, I'm much more interested in progressing the story of the game than fixing things that I think work well enough, if that makes sense.
also i agree about the Landa animation, but HS2 is not really kind to people trying to make fully custom choreographed animations, and it was a learning experience for me. I'll just tell myself it's because the MC is young and remembering it weirdly LOL
and yeah, landa's model is the one that has been updated the most extremely, so I'll more than likely fix some of those renders at some point. You can trust that things like that are absolutely bugging the hell out of me xD
