Hmm, I don't know either way about the inconsistent point-checks part, but I'll take your word for it.

In my mind there's not much value in treating it as a puzzle/grind game where you need to make perfect choices to reach the specific endings - the payoff is too far away from the place you make the choice, and the routes are very complex (as we discussed). I think the built-in "easy going" mode (whatever it's called) where you get double points is more fun to play because then you can just role-play a character and see where your choices take you, without needing to worry about metagaming the points.
This is how I always approached it. I basically would just max out everything right away so I could do the route(s) I want to on a particular run without grinding or spreadsheeting the points, a bit of hyperbole, wasn't that much to track but didn't have to think about it at all.

I only had to min max a certain run in which I wanted MC sensitive for Deb, but then manly for Kim almost afterwards, so I needed both roughly equal and then increase manly right after having higher sensitive.

This is how I do it too. I still very much appreciate the skill tree, because it gives a much better sense of what kinds of kinks to expect in the game right off the bat. So many games with interesting tags end up having so little relevant content and it takes hours to realize.
Love games with kink related skill trees.

Indeed, it's a great indicator of what's possibly in the game; assuming the developer isn't too far ahead of themselves, it can be a hint system of sorts. I do like the skill trees as well, it's great that option to boost skills was provided built-in this game—even though I would just use URM, it shows a bit more player-focused mindset which I appreciate.

2 weeks passed the progress report for the already missed update deadline. I wonder when we'll hear from him again, chances are the game stalled again. I hope nobody is getting their hopes up, I just want closure, even if it's something underwhelming.

We come from 0 hope, he was completely gone until recently, at least now he seems committed to release the ending, I can continue waiting.

I still believe...
Three dudes are sitting on a couch watching a sports game, the conversation switches to Nothing is Forever...

Optimistic dude: "Did you guys hear - he's back and working - NiF update is coming soon!"
Pessimistic dude: *snorts* "Isn't going to be finished man - don't get your hopes up.."

there's a slight pause in the room...

Realistic dude: "What the hell are you two smoking?? Give me that joint!"
