This gets a little more armchair developer than I'd like but if I was the one calling the shots, it would be a very different project.
If I know for a fact I want to meet a monthly release cycle, there's no way I include lewd scenes with most of the characters we've gotten. Especially when I notice that I'm having to make certain decisions in order to meet deadlines.
I think it would benefit greatly from being scaled back. Did you really need 3 different maids (with multiple lewd scenes) for the castle chapter when you're already providing the Queen and Princess? Have Taron beat up Frida instead of threesome maid A. It hurts MC because of the prison arc, hurts Amelia personally, and just sounds better in my head. Did you need multiple lewd scenes with Kelly when you're already going to have Pearl and Kira as LIs in the same arena? On that note, did you need to fuck her mom too just so you could slap "milf" in a tag? Did you need Alice at all if you've got Eliza? You can't even set up a jealousy angle with Eliza/Alice because Eliza blows her out of the water as a character and then Alice gets written into the school arc. It's just optimism at this point that I'm expecting Alice to blossom and actually contribute to Act 2 and onward. Don't even get me started on the Lust City arc.
I could go on but like I said to start, it's more armchair dev than I normally like to be. As far as the banner, I'm honestly not sure what was on earlier banners. I don't quite remember when I first started this.
