In case you didn't cheat in your playthrough, I would suggest marrying a girl (any girl) if possible to get a new game plus, thus reducing the grind without having to resort to the cheat menu. It saves a bit of time and feels (to me) more like "really playing the game".
One point is: an in game cheat menu doesn't let you enter game breaking numbers or flags. Second is: it is close at hand, no need for other software, no need for finding the relevant files. Just a bit more convenient.
The cheat menu just alters stats, which is quite safe compared to using an editor. Using an editor to change flags in the game will have a knock-on effect that will fuck up your game, sooner rather than later.

1) Actually pretty fine, the issue is that a lot of the content is actually locked behind events that depend of how much you go to Work, which effectively makes replays to be exhaustingly repetitive.
2) NEEDS IMPROVEMENT
3) Better navigation, shortcuts during NG+
4) Dunno, I would prefer a sequel starring a whole new cast. I love the characters of this game, it would be nice to see the same format as Love and Sex in a whole new game, as I think Love and Sex is already a top game
I think it sets you up well enough to go exploring and have fun and some success. Some parts you'll still have to figure out (more on that later) but that's par for the course for every game.
After a couple of (in game) days you should know where everything is and not be confused anymore. However, there are still spots which could run more smoothly. E. g. if you want to start the day with a shower it's "living room"-"hallway"-"shower", so three clicks to just get to the place. After that two more clicks to get to the kitchen for breakfast. While I get that certain rooms may be needed to trigger certain events, I do think some streamlining should be possible.
While I think not everything being handed on a silver platter is fine, some stuff is pretty esoteric. One non obvious choice - you're out of the Shiori part. Buy the wrong car? Well, Kleio stays limited. A bit more forgiveness in these instances would be fine since not everything is obvious to figure out (without resorting to the wiki) on your own.
Do you guys play this update by update? I dropped the game after the third time of starting over due to save breaking updates. That was over an year ago I guess. Just wondering if they are still shitty at save compatibility?
I gotta say that it struck me with this update that it's kinda weird that Sasha is now part of 4 different harems (or 5 if you count the fact that you can sort of be in a relationship with Sasha + Scottie) while Bree is still only part of the home harem still. This is also with the fact that Sasha is shown as being more of a dom while Bree is more of a sub. So it would probably make more sense for Bree to be in a harem then Sasha since you have to turn her into a sub before she will be okey with harems or even seeing the MC be intimate with other girls. I do know however that Bree can be the MC so she does have more content in total and I'm not trying to say there has to be more Bree content I just found it weird that with their personalities Bree is in 1 harem while Sasha is in 4 or 5 now.
I do think that there will be a future harem of Bree + Emma in the future however since Emma has shown an interest in Bree and is for instance okey or even seemingly happy if Bree is pregnant while your dating Emma.

There was one game save breaking update around the time you describe, not since. However, since the stories are sometimes tweaked a little, paths may close in specific circumstances and you'd have to restart if you want to take them.
If you had more than one update breaking saves that'd be out of the ordinary but probably too late to hunt for reasons.
"Much less" is still the case and will stay that way - Andrealphus stated, IIRC, in the finished game Bree's content will be about a third of Mike's. It's slowly expanding however, but the 1/3rd ratio is still a long way off.

I don't play this update by update instead I usually play it with a few months between play, since I got this bought on steam I get each update if I wanted to so I could in theory see something new pretty much each week but I would probably burn myself out if I would do that since some updates results in you having to restart the game if you wanna see everything.
Which in fact is pretty much what I do every time I pick up the game, though I always play the game in NG+++ pretty much. Been about 2-3 months since I really played last so was thinking of maybe playing it again with this monthly update or the next one.
