The slow progression is the bad issue here.First of all thanks for the update! Always welcome. I also appreciate the rapid regular updates.
That said, this VN suffers from a couple of problems that, if left unresolved, pretty much eventually doom it.
The developer(s) say "this isn't about sex". Then continually dangle Sharon (and others) before us. So that's puts them to the lie. If it's not about sex then the MC and Sharon should sleep apart, and all the flirting should end. The fact that it hasn't, and has become more prominent, makes it clear that the dev(s) continue to dangle what they claim is not there before us. Fool me once...
Okay set that point aside. If the devs truly believe there's to be no sex in the game then something else has to hold our attention. In this case plot progression. The progression of the plot has become hopelessly slow. Hopelessly slow. Perhaps even retrograde. Compare the ground covered and the character progression in chapter 1 compared to everything in chapter 2 and so far in chapter 3. Things have largely ground to a halt. With nothing to engage the reader (sex) this slow down is not just evident but burdensome.
I enjoy this game, I look forward to its success, and I fully support the dev(s) choice in how they tell their story. However, this game is becoming stagnant and stagnation is something that will kill any game. Word to the wise dev(s), you can only tease and slow roll for so long. It's time for some momentum.
I would be fine with no sex, just like in the first chapters.
The problem is that for some reason, the VN in Chapter 3 entered some kind of hyper slow motion where there are several updates where nothing happen.
Its like the fill episodes on Japanese Anime that are there just to extend the series and nothing else
