Well, as mentioned before, the game has been moved to 2023 (probably early spring or late summer), so for the supposed "even if we reduce the dialogue as much as possible, it's 50 small books" and "the scenes of this chapter are more than the combination of the scenes of the first and second chapter", are expressions that I think have been exaggerated a bit, given that unless they have put too much padding, that should imply that there should be new scenes (depending on the path and actions made of course) for Alice, Ilias, and even third route characters such as Neris, Nuruko, and Hild.
It only remains to wait as always but taking into account the precedent of his works, I expect something worthy of closing his career in large or complex works to go on to make short or medium novels.
