A book you say?
I wonder what the N in AVN stands for... what a daunting mystery... oh well...
Maybe because this is a story driven game?
Maybe to learn about the story of the characters?
Maybe to understand their struggles better?
Their motivations and fears?
What they want and desire?
You know for a troll trying to shitpost you're really not good at it...

He probs wanted a quick fap but reading is hard and most people here are dumb... so reading really scares them...

Perhaps so, but considering a good 70% of the game (atm) is just prologue, it's safe to assume that the story is gonna be very much inflated. I don't mind it, longer drawn out stories are a sacrifice I'm more than willing to take for a well fleshed-out story, but I get if it ain't your cuppa tea. Ig in Lily's case I can see why it is a little overbearing but you also gotta keep in mind up until then we barely knew anything about Lily, not to mention with the story direction were going at we may not see Lily for a good few updates after the next one. So for the relative few that enjoys her character (me included :") ) it's a welcome addition, regardless of how long it is.
Aside from the reasons already mentioned as to why your complaint is weird, another issue is that flashbacks are actually a narrative shorthand in visual media. The dev is using them to include elements they think are important to the story, which means that those elements would be in the story with or without the flashbacks. Since flashbacks are a narrative shorthand, you'd probably have to read a lot more without them. To narratively frame a past event well without using a flashback takes a lot more work and would certainly be more wordy than it would be to just use a flashback. This, in conjunction with the other reasons stated, makes your assertion that you're just trying to enjoy the story but the flashbacks are getting in the way seem contradictory. Telling the same story without flashbacks would be much more inflated than the story you're already trying to read. It'd be one thing if you just didn't like the narrative device of a flashback for some other arbitrary reason, but flashbacks actually solve the very problem you've claimed they cause by making it much simpler and quicker to include information from the characters' pasts into the story. They make the story less bloated and keep the introduction of information from the past from disrupting the narrative flow too much
The initials of NiiChan's second project, Life Changing Choices (or it was until it was changed sometime ago iirc). It's called Sicae now. And if you haven't played that one yet, then you should give it a try (and unlike MBIML, it might lean on the bloody side a tad bit but it's a good one nonetheless).
Saying Sicae "might lean on the bloody side" compared to MBML is like saying Berserk is "more bloody" that Dragonball ... it's accurate, but ...
So, Emma's solo ending isn't separate from the game and it's no longer "experimental" ... it's incorporated in the full game, which is the main download.
OH I THINK I REMEMBER THAT ONE!!! It's been a while but isn't the MC an assassin, the same one that you see in MBIML? I wondered what happened to that game. Thank you SO much for telling me the new name I will check it out!
Honestly, Lily's flashback was kinda boring. I didn't mind the other's flashbacks (although Aine's was painful to get through
I think it was more a problem with pacing than content. an elongated flashback, in a part of the story filled with flashbacks.
