Man, I'd love to support you and actually buy the game. But for someone from Germany it seems almost impossible. Itch.io only has the Android version, Subscribe Star requires a credit card, which virtually no one here has and Steam blocks the game.
I'm pretty sure that Subscribe Star accepts debit cards as well as credit cards, so if you have one of those you should be OK.

Don't get me wrong there is a lot of content in this update and its great stuff, but I gotta admit spending months in anticipation for the chance to finally govern the realm only for it to all just apruptly end at the first court event, not gonna lie I am left feeling a bit empty.

Would love to support the game but the possibility of my private bank selling info and getting me cancelled irl is not worth it (has happened to many people in my country). If steam/subscribe star start accepting crypto (monero) then definitely yes then.

Yeah I guess that's what happens when the hype/anticipation is too much but now they'll be dedicating a lot more towards Act V rather than on the side so to speak. I really enjoyed the initial scene with Malice and the planned petitioning system but wished we saw the entire chapter rather than just a part of it.

Yeah that's what I'm a bit confused about. I could have sworn that they were going to post essentially the entire Act V that might have minor tweaks or extra scenes added later. I thought that's why it was taking an entire year? A little disappointed that it's just a little bit of Act V.

I can get that sense of disappointment. Lot of talk and hype for it only to get so little. But, think of it this way, atleast we will be getting a progression of the story and see how things shape up fully over the course forseeable future. Personally I think the real reason we are getting such a small start is because there might be things already planned for but may need fine tuning or art that is yet to be done.

It feels weird to hear it called a small update. There might not feel like a lot, but during this update the game when from 716,505 words to 901,191 words.

An update of almost over 180K

I think the issue is that we are expecting more in terms of probable content and interactions, I think thats the thing. Like having everyone fleshed out and scenes and such. I think that was the take away with all the hype with Act 5. Instead, it's not the case. Not that it's bad per se, but for some it might seem disappointing.

To some extent, I feel it's due to just how branching the game is by Act V.

Sure, 180K is a lot, but given the fact it's spread over so many different narrative branches and conditionals, the 'viewable' amount of content is far smaller... assuming you only do the one playthrough, which given the relatively little time that has passed since 5.0.0 dropped (little less than 24 hours as of this posting) is probably what most people have done... if you don't just speed run stuff, but at that point you have yourself to blame for lack of content.

I will admit I'm kind of disappointed with the remove of the Naho content from the update, though I understand why they did it. Looking forward to it's implementation.
