I don't disagree with anything you've said, but this update tried to articulate too much of the story. IMO. It really destroyed much of the intrigue. It's still one of the best AVN's but damn.... this is a set back.Maybe. There were some things added that I think deserved to be added though. On the porch, with Nojiko I feel is important to include, she's supposed to be very important to the MC after all. Adding the scene where Nami is caring and nurturing during his panic attack at school, important IMHO, as it is driven home pretty hard in Ch 1 that they care a lot for each other and are there for each other.
Most things I would say should've been left alone though and just made to look better graphically.
A critique I do have to one of the remade scenes - to me the scene where Nami jumps on your lap in your room, feels off now, the sexual tension build up is now removed where she gives you shit by asking if you have a boner, the MC gives her shit back by asking something about her nipple, you can't tell her she's cute(yea I understand that Nami doesn't believe the MC when he tells her that stuff but there are workarounds and dialogue maneuvering/reactions you could still do to make it fit), and the playfulness now feels a bit cheap, it feels way more like he's just blowing Nami off now and just wants to get rid of her, without any of the aforementioned stuff that was previously there in the old version. I feel like this being removed now doesn't set up the sexual tension buildup between them that comes on even stronger in later chapters.
It's like Ocean is trying to explain too much about the story in these scenes, and well, imo sometimes it's better left as a mystery.
Also i was sad when choosing to date Victoria and breaking Mila's heart in the cafe.... I mean The original game never made this hardliner.
