Well, it seems to me that NOTHING has changed, nothing has improved, and things worsened, in fact.
In the older version, everytime the author released an update, some new bug that broke an old ruote always surfaced somewhere.
The same is happening right now. 001.5 introduced the infamous "Laura's shoes" bug that breaks the whole "home route", in fact.
001.6 introduced the new "Nesrot" bug that breaks the whole route, now.
The point is that in the old game when you couldn't move forward in a route, you had the chance to move forward doing something else.
You can't do it anymore: there are 2 routes (home characters and school characters) only and 2 short sidequests on weekends. If something breaks, you're done. Period. The game won't allow you to do anything anymore.
p.s.: moreover, a lot of English version dialogues and text aren't translated. You'll find a lot of lines in Spanish.

So, guys, this is my own advice:
- old players: drop this shit and come back in... 6 months? dunno;
- new players: don't touch this crap and play the old version.
My 2 cents.
