I shave my back, sack, crack and chest once a month at the very least feels way cleaner after a shower. Sacks always a delicate operation though gotta just trim it down as best you can while avoiding nicks.

Reviews will pick up in time, when the game offers the intended experience.
If we take time to polish things, people will complain we're taking too long.
If we rush to wrap things up and move on, people will complain we left the game incomplete.
Doomed if you, doomed if you don't.
I'd sell my soul to go back in time and do things differently. Alas.

Way, way back in the beforetimes, the early backers (yay me!) knew him to be the "Nemesis", as I recall. Essentially, a counter to the rise of the dark overlord Rowan -- whether that be true or not -- and a champion to defeat him (specifically) and the rest of Bloodmeen's forces. That information and the associated image have long since quietly been removed from y'all's project's overview on Patreon and webpage. You guys have been really good at not letting anything slip on that front for basically forever -- to the dismay of many!
So no, you haven't revealed who it is in any official capacity that I can remember, but many of us have speculated that the Nemesis would simply make an appearance later on as Act I solidified itself. With the evolution of the project and the passage of time, all of this is subject to change (or has already) and I can't assume anything said here is correct anymore. Well, other than whoever this character will turn out to be will show up at some point in the SoC saga per your comment. ^^ Definitely looking forward to it though!

Many expect devs to know what they are doing and some things take time to learn and grow, it's not like their is a book/course on how to make a AVN step by step, 2021 was a year of growth for Venus Noire as you guys have been the most productive and showed a lot of quality improvement than previous years and let's hope this positive trend continues.

Except he doesn't survive in all the outcomes of the Rastedel arc as I recall from the discussions here. Could be one of his lieutenants however, or someone from the theocracy.

I'm still somewhat new here, so I wasn't around in the early days. But it seems to me that the project got away from them in a variety of ways. Maybe I would be bitter about it to if I was around in the more diretionless days. But their current roadmap seems to be steering them in the right direction and they seem to be making real progress toward completion. So I'm looking forward to it.

If you look back on SoC development it's clear that it was chaotic during the early years. The goals were over-ambitious, some aspects of the game were being developed much faster while others lagged behind, art style was all over the place etc. Lots of very basic things were left for later while the devs were focusing on minor events that suit the fanbase's fetishes or introducing completely new plot points (like Fae storyline) that are still only in the very early phase.
So yes, if someone donated lots of money for the game while expecting relatively smooth progress on all its aspects, he/she has a right to be disappointed. The truth is the devs were (or still are) gradually learning how to properly create VNs and SoC is their experimental field. But at least for 4 years now, the progress is good and stable. It's not super fast, but the quality of new content is extremely high, both in terms of writing and art. Hell, I'd pay 3$ per month on Patreon just to see all the new amazing CGs that are constantly being produced.
SoC will probably take many more years to finish, probably even more than a decade (if we are talking about three acts). But I don't really mind it as long as the devs will continue to work on it keeping at least the current pace. Even right now, far from completion, it's one of the best Western erotic VNs.

It's also a rather unique game: not a standard VN, not a full management game, but kind of in the middle, and with a good number of branches. Such projects (surely ambitious, and possibly overambitious in the early years) are always more difficult to steer.

I appreciate your rhetorical skills bro. Starting and ending with the same power line is always effective
But I'm not sure I agree with the sentiment that "6 years. still in act 1" is a negative thing based on the team's circumstances or that the game is getting shredded on steam.1) "6 years. still in act 1" -

As a caveat. I've invested $100 into the game so far as well- and I'll keep funding proprortionally to how much I care about w/e routes they are working on.

Man, who gives a fuck about Steam reviews of any kind. All it takes is for a game to be slightly progressive in a certain way and every bigot with a keyboard will slam the game with negative reviews, or for a game to pander to a certain group who will slam it with positive reviews. The last thing that should be used as proof of anything is something getting "shredded" on steam.

No, there's a female MC. Alexia is what would be referred to as the dueteragonist, which is to say she's the second primary focused upon character. You may not click grids on a map to move her around, but she's the central figure of a large percentage of the scenes of the game, has a varied range of the kinds of scenes she appears in, and in general impacts the story to a great deal. If you removed her from the game SoC would not be worth playing. She is a main character, she's simply not the only main character.

It depends on on how you define it. If you are referring to the the "game" side of things then Rowan is certainly the main character.
But if you are talking about the "Visual Novel" side of the game then Rowan and Alexia are closer to equals, in that they are both the focus of a lot of scenes and you the player are privy you their internal monologues and get the choose the actions each of them take.
However, there isn't really a category for: there are two player controlled characters that you will switch between in depending on the scene and one of them happens to be a female. If it make any difference the developers have said they consider Rowan and Alexia to be co-protagonists.
