Sorry a newbie to this game. I played chapter 4 and i loved the game and can't wait to see more. Just need help from you guys, is this game still in development cause the website is showing November last update and what's the latest version that's available to play? Is it chapter 4 or something else?

Thanks in advance.

Still in development. Ch5 is in progress actively - Ch4.5 final will likely be out in a matter of days to weeks.

Got this AVN in recommendations and decided to give it a shot, seeing as it got quite a following.
Right now i am somewhere in chapter 2 and i feel really conflicted.
Is this game some kind of fan-service?
Author states that at the moment, the main focus of game is on plot and worldbuilding, and not on lewd scenes.
But at the same time the situations that happen are so irrational that they make no sense, in my opinion.

- Whole Victoria accident scene is fucking mindblown nonsense and idiocy.
* MC walking the street and thinking aloud is ok i guess and happens, but its weird, since MC is painted as asocial type, those do not speak their mind in random fashion. So ye, accident happens, MC is thinking aloud about how finishing Victoria would be more merciful, while executing some kind of first-aid protocol and calling for ambulance. Our MC at this moment looks like asocial but companionate human being.
* Then woman (who is college teacher named Marla, as we learn later), that should be somewhat shocked from the fact that she just hit and knocked down someone with a car, proceeds to grab a gun (wtf, are female college teachers carrying guns as part of daily life) and aims at MC (wtf why, he is not threatening and got no weapons). She is not checking on Victoria, she is not checking on car state, she grabs a gun, its the first action that we see from her after accident happens. Like what is author is smoking? At this point i honestly was assuming that the woman is just some kind of hitman trying to get rid of Victoria and finish the job. Like she aimed the gun at MC cos she needed to get rid of witness as well.
* Then armed woman lets MC to take gun from her hands. I mean really, teenager boy sees accident, then sees culprit grabbing a gun and aiming at him. So first thing he decides on is to approach and grab that gun. I guess this teenage boy is on crack or got basketball sized balls.
* Then comes the option to shoot the woman... Now i know MC is definitely on crack. Like this is the first AVN where i was offered to roleplay as loud-speaking psycho-killer teenager. I followed this option just to see how the situation evolves - and our guy shoots woman in her leg.
* Police arrives and officer is totally not interested in gunfight that occurred. MC is allowed to leave the the scene, even grab victim's wallet (not a choice!). Since i know that MC is psycho i am no longer surprised that he didn't think of returning the wallet or giving the ID to policeman. I am just surprised about contrast with MC that was earlier at the scene and was interested in helping Victoria and calling for ambulance.

- Well ok fast-forward to college start.
* Our woman from accident scene appears to be college teacher named Marla and she is tutoring our MC and (surprise!) victim girl. She deals with presences of boy that shot her and girl that she recently crippled like usual daily business. Zero emotion, zero compassion, "Victoria you will be sitting here, i tell you".
* Our MC gives no fucks as well.
* Victoria gives no fucks as well - its totally fine to study under person who put you into wheelchair.
* At this point i am waiting on when the situation about accident going to resolve itself through communication. But the only communication Marla wants with MC is to inform that she for some absolutely undefined reason wants him to cooperate with Bella.

- Ok, relationship with Bella evolves
* Bella crushes MC's balls during game and refuses to apologize, while expecting to continue study project with him as usual.
* Guess what, MC gives no fucks and proceeds to cooperate with Bella and even builds mutual plans.

I could go on but game's story seems to me as nonsense built on nonsense.
We are worldbuilding so no lewdity. But here take these nipple-slips, those are totally fine.
In what world you would be allowed college physical exercises without tracksuits or uniform i do not know, but in this game random transparent bodysuit is totally fine and brings zero attention of coaches.

Meh, i really do not know why should i keep playing this game, please tell me all this shit gets resolved later.

Ms Marla were going through a lot of stress dude, add to that that some Randy Stair-kinda guy appears and say it would be better to put Victoria out of her misery, that would make anyone commit unexpected actions.
And this is only my case, but I don't think Vic knows who's the person that ran over her.
And Bella and MC are very similar since they both went through traumatic situations and bullying(I think more Bella than MC)

It always amazes and shocks me when ppl cry for sex scenes in a visual novel. When you consider this VN being one of the very few TOP shelf titles, and strangely enough barely any sexuality presented in it is most liikely one of the biggest reasons why it's such an anticipated title. Yet the juveniles still want to wank at nice pixels.. ffs get a life! Or bookmark pornhub.

Hot scenes - yes, like the scene of the MC, Vic, Mila and Nami making out on the couch, and this scene means something because there is a real story where the characters learn and grow together.

For meaningless sex - please go to pornhub for 3 minutes of trope world building and then see the same actresses banging big xxxx and it means literally nothing, because it is a porn scene, not part of a great story.

If the measure of a creation is whether or not it has sex scenes, then I'm sure those people have to discount and complain about every Star Wars movie, every Lord of the Rings movie, and every Jurassic Park movie, for example.

That has to be a sad and lonely existence...
