I can understand everything said here, even if I don't agree with some of it. The arguments are valid points. But I will say that changing a pace point (in this case) is not the same as changing the plot. The plot remains the same, the ultimate end seemingly remains the same. It is just that another scene will be added into the mix to smooth progression. Which is something that happens all the time in writing. It is just, as to your point, we are typically not privy to that in a novel, that has been more of a hallmark of game development. It happens in novels too, it is just that it occurs between an author, their publisher/editor and those close to them. Entire written chapters have been scrapped and redone. Games however, make these type of public feedback induced changes all the time, whether that feedback is internal or external. Many times the dev had two different ideas in mind and just had to choose one, only to rethink and choose the other.This tag war is useless and only generates tons of posts between NTRxNTS that goes absolutely nowhere.
But let's be honest, this only happens because the devs starts selling their product still in the early beginning. Neither the own dev knows how the rest of the story will develop, because he will do it according to what the patreons want. And this imo is the wrong way to consume this product, because it's not a game with a multiple branches, it's a VN.
You're are intended to play a VN just like you read a book, in other words, your story must be 100% of what the author wanted to do. But for that we must have the whole book released to be consumed. When we have small chapters released in a wide timeframe, people keep months wondering how good the story would be if this or that happening... And then when they get the new chapter from the author, they get disappointed.
You're are too eager to receive the whole content at once, but this is not gonna happen, because the dude need somehow to make money with his work..
PS: Rework chapters just to fill patreons whishes in not acceptable for me. If you don't have a clear idea of your plot, better don't even create anything
As for this game, there is no change to fact that VI is about to start exploring other men more fully, for better or for worse, that is the direction and nothing has changed that.
