I'd say substantially longer. To be honest, I think that the reason why there's no competition with NewLife is because few people are willing to put in as much work as SO does, not the opposite.
I wrote the 'Shyness Cure' scene, which folks generally have said they enjoy. It took me the better part of a year to get done, and I was putting in a fair bit of work, although it was not my day job.
To be fair, I think this point bears more in favour of the other perspective. The Shyness Cure is a very large chunk of content for this game, and high quality. From it taking you the length of time you describe, yes, meeting that should probably take SO several months to match. He does not put out that kind of content over the course of a few months.
More importantly, though, this is not accomodating for
why it took you such a big chunk of time to get done. I'm not going to state it categorically for you, but can you remember how much of that time was actually planning and writing down the on-screen content vs how much was trying to make it actually work with the existing system of the game?

Major changes & additions:
Minor changes:
Added some alternative lines for when your husband refuses to wear a condom on your wedding night, as the standard text felt a bit out of place there.
Added some more detail to the dating app's description of the man, as requested by Brobort.
Bugfixes:
Someone commented that SO was a lazy bitch milking his patreon on his blog, SO literally wrote 6 3-4 paragraph long responses to it at 5am, saying how he's not a lazy bitch milking his patreons.
More effort was put into those posts than the last 5-6 updates.
Oh, man. I guess I slightly overestimated him when I was taking the piss.
