According to the latest status report by the dev, the next update will be released in September, but a delay to October is possible, if there are any hiccups with the writing.
I think we will have this year 2 updates, not more. One on September - October and the other one in December maybe with Christmas content in the storyline.
I agree with your logic regarding limited resources as a general point, but if the trip back to her parents is included in the next chapter, there would have to be at least one background for that part of the story, wouldn't it? It would be a very odd choice to use Lena's mother's sickness as a cliffhanger if the trip to visit her isn't actually a playable part of the next chapter.
I see a picture on the wall with a small heart and "live laugh love" written over there, interesting... by the look of it all, I would rule out that it's a single man's room, but it could be a matrimonial bedroom, in which case it's most likely Lena's parents. Doesn't seem unlikely, I also see a nightstand on both sides... the one on my left would be mum's (since there's a mirror on it, and also a stool) and the one on the other side would be dad's. This seems the easiest deduction to me. Clearly, I could be wrong... but if so, then I have no clue.
Doubtful about that Xmas content. The game story is at its own pace, I think ORS calendar is gonna be in late June by Ch.10
How are they unlikeable? Most of them are pretty much just your average young woman. I mean, each to their own, but I'm interested to know the sort of girls you find likeable if you find the ones in this game so unlikeable.
Ok, I am trying to tiptoe here
But have you ever considered your upbringing might not have been that comparable with the experiences of most people? Or even close? 
Sure, I can't speak for the whole world!Ok, I am trying to tiptoe here
The point being that this doesn't look like the bed Holly's parents would provide for her.
Full disclosure, I didn't get oneSure, I can't speak for the whole world!
I know a bunch of the girls I grew up going to school with got one when they became teenagers, but that might just be a Danish thing, or a trend that picked up in my local area even. I can't say it's a conversation I ever had with their parents as to why it was.
Denmark is a rich country compared to the rest of the world. No reason to think about buying a king size when you're a peasant and don't have the space to put it anywhere.
Yeah you are a minority no doubt... But i want Eva to have routes from a romantic story to full on depraved perverted sex game and everything in between...
You're definitely in the Minority but surely not alone with this Opinion! I also like ORS way more than GGGB because of the realistic writing of Characters and Scenarios. ORS is really a good Game for me and not just porn in form of a Game like most of the Games I played here before (but of course I also love the Porn and most of the Scenes are really hot but if I want mostly extreme Stuff than I just play GGGB again).
You're far from the only person who wants that - there's quite a few of us who love the slice-of-life-with-a-bit-of-added-spice format. Nothing wrong for those who are into the more extreme stuff, but there are SO many games that go that way already out there, and it's really nice when a game caters towards those of us who like it a bit more realistic, too.
I don't think you're the only one who wants that, and I don't think the two scenarios exclude each other either. I agree that the fact that it's realistic is one of the game's biggest strengths, and I also prefer the more romantic routes for my main playthrough. But for the replayability I think it makes the game better when there's some darker stuff in there as well. And Eva is a good writer, so it's interesting to see how far she can push some of the storylines – while still keeping it realistic.
To me, every female character is well fleshed out and written. Even the ones with less screen time like Cherry, Emma, and Molly
That's the best part about this game. You can choose what you want. Don't want it to be kinky? No problem! Don't go that route. I would say your best bet for that would be to either pursue Holly or Ian/Lena and focus on your wits stat. I believe even GGGB had a lovey dovey more vanilla route too.
