If you just pretend that the game development ended when the original artist quit, and ignore the game from here on out, maybe you will be happier.
The situation is what the situation is. Moaning about what isn't happening doesn't help and isn't a good look.

I was a bit confused here.
Yesterday I played it for the very first time and I found the art to be quite decent, especially the backgrounds.
Its a lot better than most lewd-games.
When I read the recent complaints I got curious and tried the "old" version.
You are right, the art there was remarkable.
As others mentioned, if you got an artist of a certain level, they wont "waste" their skills for this genre,
caus it simply doesnt pay enough and some artist have no personal attachement to lewd games.
Please understand, painting sluts and gangbangs is not everybodys dream.
That level of art is not what we can simply expect when we open these games!
So you guys were LUCKY so far to have that.
As someone who just ran into it: the "new" art-version is still pretty decent.
I get it, being downgraded from Lambo to Porsche is nothing to cheer about but... come on guys.
Its still much better than most other digital painting projects.

There's a new female character introduced pretty much from the beginning. She might be a LI but at this point it's too early to tell.

Basically you are right. if you don't like it hit ignore thread button and move on.
BUT
if we are all ignoring criticism of something we find bad, dishonest, low quality... (i'm speaking here in general, so not necessary any or all atributes above apply on LC), we are not leaving any trace to other people who are coming after us to read what pros and cons are thinking about product and help them to pick one in pile of games we are having here.
isn't that same with any artists in history who were waiting anxiously next morning review and street comments about their last night performance?
aren't we all at least looking on how many stars on imdb new movie has or read about some tv series before start watching 6 seasons?
did you forget this is FORUM and meaning of that word and what was represented in ancient Rome?
imo, this criticism, not only through reviews but also constantly through posts, on this forum has special importance. because these authors, devs are asking you to commit your money for certain period for their work, to be their subscribers. and games and developers are changing through time. some start bad and improve, some start fascinating and turn into dishonest milkmen.

specific for this game, constant tallking about change of artist and lower art quality has its point.
it is also fair to warn potential future subscribers about this dev's working habits.
having said that 1 month for typos and minor cosmetics between c2b and c2final? more stalling. like watching italian football in last 10 minutes while defending club holds 1-0
and redoing game because of more lewd content... in c1-2 original we had more lewd content. there is nothing more lewd even in text. we now have more teeny dialogue. don't forget all this rework was about more lewd content what leads us back to art: new art is very nice but it does not fit into adult game. it is more school setting teen romcom cartoon made for teen high-school magazine style. so it is most of dialogue
i've seen nothing up to now that justisfy why dev needs so much time to re-do first 5 chapters. it would be fair that dev changes billing from monthly into "per major update" at least until remake is done, because if this pace continues as it is ch6 won't be here before 2025. but she won't since this pace is because of billing

No; other people's tastes and preferences are different, so without knowing whether they align with yours they are worthless. Not to mention reviews follow Sturgeon's Law like everything else, and 90% of them is crap, not in the least due to being subject to irrational biases -- you have evidence right in this thread, with people shitting on objectively good art because they liked something else that's now gone.

new art is good, still far less than previous, but it is not for erotic vn. as i said it is more suitable for funny high school rom-com than xxx novel. close-ups in rare erotic parts are ok, but overall is teeny-sleezy and female models are all far less attractive. gggb is good example. art is less attractive but it fits into xxx vn perfect.
ratings: you can't avoid seeing average ranking on imdb. and yes i'd like to know more about content i'm not familiar with, including other people opinion, simply for selection purpose - too much content but no time for trying all

People here are offended easily when you criticize their favorite porno games, even if the criticism is valid(Inferior art, long development times, ect.)
Just like in football, when somebody criticizes your favorite team, fanboys go on the defensive and whinging about it.
There isn't any specific style that is fitting for porn novel. Case in point, Summertime Saga, literally top dog of porn VNs if you go by the number of people still willing to pay the devs, even after two years of doing nothing, is far more of a cartoon style-wise than this iteration of the Lust Campus.

yes, and art is the reason i never played ss. lc is not that way cartoonish but still it is like high school parody cartoons.
and ss cult, and some others, never stop to amuse me, paying for undelivered project or subscribe to lazy dev
Yeah, that's fair. But that's just personal preference for style, and one that evidently lot of people disagree with, so i don't think it can be said "it's not fitting" as if it was some sort of established fact.

i stand corrected... it is not fitting for me is more accurate
whoever (including us) whatever writes about art here or anywhere else is pure subjective opinion. lots of people argued that picasso's works are not art when appeared.

New art and slow pace of dev are 2 things. New art you like it or not, personal taste. But the slow pace of dev is more objective, and for a rework I think it takes too much time.
And newcomers shouldn't give a fuck about old art, it's ancient history.

Question: Did you find a lot of similar language mistakes with other characters in this game, or was it just limited to Bonnie primarily? If they were everywhere, it's obviously a translation problem with the developer. If it's mostly Bonnie, did you consider that the developer has deliberately portrayed her that way? Consider what kind of character Bonnie is. I never pictured her as a candidate for a Nobel Prize for Literature. Of course if Desmond speaks that way, the developer has a problem.
I don't want to generalize here, but have you listened to how some college students speak? If you watch sports, listen to the interviews. Many college athletes are quite literate; others are... like Bonnie!
For that matter, I have been tortured on many occasions by watching TV anchors (college-educated every one of them) botch the English language.

Newcomers can check out the new art for themselves by going to the first page and looking at the preview pics. If they like it, why would they even concern themselves with what used to be?

Why did the art style changed? looks very strange
