I will say it again, people confuse story progress with updates, and they have since the reworks began with Chapter 3.It comes from Ocean himself.
Let me shed some light on the things using the table you referenced to

Th argument is development cycle which is leading to Slow Story progression argument not that story is not progressing. From Ch3 Ocean is doing reworks over rework, what is ocean reworking that are not ending? check the render count of ch1 and ch2 and even with the release of ch5 Ocean did rework of ch1,2,3,etc. People are out of their mind if they think that story is progressing at the steady pace if
roughly same amount of renders are being used to rework considering this update and about half/4th quarter of renders are rework in previous update/s.
It makes me think that Ocean might've OCD if it wasn't for Steam release. Ocean himself is sabotaging the progression bcz of bad decisions. Who said him to keep making reworks of reworks of rework? It is bcz of these reworks development cycle has fallen to 1 chapter per year. It doesn't matter if the render count has gone up from roughly 1500 to 2000 in ch5 as vast amount of those additional renders are still going in reworks and we are still getting 1 chapter per year(ch1 release: 8 may 2019 and ch5 release: 10 may 2024) which could've been 2 if you count those rework renders as not reworks and proper chapter than we would be closing in of last chapters of season 2. And if this pattern continues in Season 2 than RIP SG.
Let me know if you didn't understand anything I would be happy to make you understand it simply if you genuinely didn't understand it.
Edit: Ping me I'll reply when I'm online again that is if you've a valid argument against my argument.
Look, people have been writing off SG since the reworks began, making all sorts of predictions and statements.
The reworks are apparently finished, so let's reserve judgement for 12 months time... and see how many updates come out between now and May 2025 and whether or not there are "reworks of the reworks".
