If you have played the other games in the series, you will know that the good stuff will come. These girls are a lot tougher to crack than the other ones.

The money process of this update reminds me a lot of many games Patreon, throwing and throwing money away.

I put it on a copy of the game and so far I see no problems.

Episode 7 of CeLaVieGroup's “My Early Life” game, the fifth in their series of biography of one individual, is a masterpiece of beautiful graphics. Each of these porn games involves the progressive corruption of one or more Female Characters, and episode 7 goes from some nakedness and touching to BJ's and CL. The FC's are still the same 3 sisters, with no additions, that have appeared in the first six episodes, and there are no new sandbox locations added in episode 7. As is standard with CLVG, there is no psychological story to get in the way of the gorgeous graphics, just a little explanation to go along with the events. If you want Dostoyevsky, there are plenty of other developers who use their graphics as a minimal addition to their story-telling.
MEL differs from the previous games in that the navigation scheme is different. It still maintains the comfortable concept of a set of events which need to be all completed for the episode to be finished, and these separate a CLVG game from most others, where it is hard to tell when an episode has been completed. This episode has an improved hint system, but what CLVG gives with one hand, it takes away with the other. The completion of events has some new tricks added in, so that trying to follow the hint system alone leads to many uncompleted events.
One of the tricks might be thought of as the invitation idea. For example, there is a bookmark which is designated in the pool area, but if you go there unprepared, you will find no FC's there and no way to complete the event. Instead, you must have dinner with the two youngest FC's, where they say they plan to have this event. But you cannot just randomly have dinner with them to accomplish this event, because many dinners do not have this invitation. A dinner scene might alternatively have an invitation to the TVRoom to play a game, which has the same problem.
Another trick is a phantom event. There are at least two of them, scheduled according to the hints for a morning timeslot in the oldest FC's room. But you can go there at the scheduled time dozens of times, and nothing happens. These events are completed by having the MC sleep over in this FC's bedroom at least four times, which is not predictable by any dialog or hints. They have no connection with their scheduled tod's.
There are more chores events, which occur in the older FC's room, but are only completed when the MC has completed chores he was asked to do somewhere else in the sandbox; the chores include cutting the grass (pool area), buying groceries (deli), cleaning the bathroom, and doing the laundry (kitchen). Each of these has to be done at the right place and time-of-day.
CLVG has continued with their habit of having events that need multiple hits to fulfill the event. In previous episodes, the player might have to go to the same location, at the same time-of-day, up to 10 times to finally score the bookmark. CLVG has gone wild here, with up to 16 hits required in at least one event. There are lots of these 'progress' events in episode 7. Typically they involve identical graphics for the beginning, with something different at the end. This means it is impossible to back out of a scene if it has 'grindy' graphics (stuff you have seen before), as the end of the scene might be the only different part. If you are very attentive, you might note that the event count does not advance until you visit the place/time-of-day sufficient times. You can also check the hints to tell you that you need to keep hitting the same scene/tod, if you can locate the proper line in the list.
Some events require a large amount of money to be transferred from MC to a FC, so if you have trouble on an event involving payment (most seem to), up the amount. For example, the kitchen morning event requires a payment of 1001 or more to complete. No cheaping out in a CLVG episode.
There are chains of events as well. On one, the player needs to first go to the lingerie store to be invited to produce a poster, then back to the oldest FC twice (offer and acceptance: 1030 in kitchen), then back to lingerie store, then back to kitchen to be whisked away for the photoshoot. Then there is the photo prep stage in Bob's room in the evening, and then 7am in the morning to get a phone call, and then later to be whisked over to see the poster mounted for display at the lingerie shop. When a character is whisked, there is no choosing to go by the nav system, you just appear there.
There are also two finale events which can only occur as the last two events of the entire sequence. All in all, this episode is more difficult to complete, what with invitation events, phantom events, chain events, finale events, chores events, chain events, and expensive events in addition to the regular ones. You might spend 8, 10, 12 hours figuring it all out. The increased challenge is more than compensated for by the new graphics. CLVG is by far my favorite dev.

Love this devs games, but my god do they need a cheat mod for them to be fully playable
Episode 7, what is the trick with:
Pool 17:00 ("training" session)
TV Room 20:00 (dice game, weekends)?
I repeated both ad nauseam, girls are happy and horny, but nothing new happens. Stuck at 74/77.
Edit: Got it. Pool 16:30 was marked green., but not completed. After that, the episode could be finished.

Got to episode 7 after what felt like countless of hours spent. Episode 7 is like episode 6 but with some more scenes or I think the proper term would be "extended" scenes. Don't get me wrong I still think the game is amazing but this is beyond ridiculous, these girls are charging more than professional courtesans for a lot less. It's like you get a couple of frames every game day assuming you're doing something right. What's depressing is seeing the bookmark number getting closer and closer to the end because barely anything has happened lol. Maybe another future project name for a similar game should be "I think that's enough for today".
All jokes aside, like I said I really do like the game, very nice graphics and the female characters are likeable, the MC has that creep factor over him that I don't like. If this was any other game I would most likely have quit after an hour or so if the game was going a similar path.
I still have a wee bit left to do in episode 7 but I don't suspect much will happen.
Edit: I did get an error but a few ignore clicks got past it.

Thank you for explaining my disgust too much effort with no indication of where to go and extremely little reward... the more I get disgusted with the work of this DEV. 61/77 lina and lynn extremely fast falling excitement UNPLAYABLE!!!!
I have enough more interesting games for playing for hours.
And see no reason to transform porno VN into fucking tycoon cause there's nothing interesting in this bullshit, it's just irritating.

They're not "tougher to crack", the game's just far more padded out than his previous ones. Every update is two steps forwards one step back on development and advancement. I've liked his previous work, janky as it's been at times, but this one is absurd. Mouse-killing excessively repetitive click-grind.

I think totally hidden stuff, that you only get by pure luck after hours of trying (or, if you don't find it, just makes you desperate and angry), sucks and is bad game design, which should not be praised. Professional games from about 30 years ago where quite often designed that way and had a very high frustration factor. 
That has mostly changed, because it's just shitty.
It's alright and perfectly fine, if it's hidden and there are hints to find it. But without them - well, see above.

I finished the chapter with this mod.
It would be nice to pin it in the OP, but I don’t know who to write about this.
Bob, in his room, has to google how to make a cheat dice.
Then, at 18:00, go into Lynn's room to win a bet with her.
Lynn will start coming to Bob's room at midnight to watch a movie.
After a few repetitions, the "go to your room at midnight" task will be completed and other tasks will open. Eventually, there will be an opportunity to continue playing with the girls at 20:00 and that will be the end of the chapter.
