I think the TIME issue is specific to the person, and dev DOESNT have to accommodate to every single player, so if you dont have time to make a separate save then its YOUR problem, not devs
Yes LD is a mess due to it being a first project, so it will have less structure and more mistakes, plus it only made by one person, so dont have high expectation of it being as a more team managed polished game
Dont like that some of the content variation is HARD to get, then enjoy what is available for you, and the fact that game actualy has more romance related stuff doesnt make it worse, people enjoy it so as dev enjoying making,and the whole point of it not being VN is abit stupid, cuz technicaly it is RPG with VN elements, the difference from regular VNs is that it doesnt have linear structure and build from smaller stories/quests that have connection between each other
