I can't help but wonder about the overwhelming love for "Katie". Was it cultivated during the early epochs of WiAB, or did I inadvertently overlook her prominence in SG? It appears her presence is rather scarce in SG, thus sparking my curiosity :unsure:
Bob already answered...

Katie is just awesome...even though she is a peripheral character in SG and not a LI, it doesn't matter, it's Katie ;)

There is no point in telling me anything, the fans see everything themselves perfectly well. I now have a new hobby, I cook popcorn for every update and laugh as the defenders are once again trying to justify Ocean’s stupid actions. This is much more exciting than following the plot of the SG, which has been in one place for several years. :ROFLMAO:
Dude...this was me 2 years ago. Just let go of the anger and disappointment and accept shit as is. You'll be much happier :)

I mean look at me. 75% of my love for this game has been slowly killed off since ch 3.5 with the reworks and I'm still here, trying my best to stay somewhat positive 'cause I still like bits and pieces of this VN.

Maybe...just maybe it will get better in season 2 :HideThePain:

1. The game desperately needs a proof reader who is competent in the English language
This will never not be funny for me considering I got called out by Ocean himself and accused of being a hater when I pointed out that the game's grammar was rough and if he was serious about the Steam release he urgently needed a fluent English speaker to take a serious look at the script.

I wonder wtf do people talk about on his Discord. If even his most staunch defenders recognize this has always been an issue, do they just not point it out?!?!?! So many issues that needed ironing before the big launch and he chose to spend months sanitizing the game and kowtowing to both music license holders and Steam themselves. It's surreal.

I honestly just go to his discord to look up the spoilers he drops. The conversation there makes me feel like I'm at some teenage disco. They have been reporting them since Ocean made a report channel for bugs and typos, but the solution is getting a native speaker, because intent is more important than direct clear translation. Ideally you'd find people who had the attitutde of each character to paraphrase.

The beta team all seem to be close friends (I guess for trust issues) so I imagine not many native english speakers. I don't know that though.

Now that Season 1 is complete -- how many routes should I be doing to prep for season 2?
My way of playing is to just do the route that feels the more appealing to you, but make a save at each choice. Then you can always go back, should you find out you made the wrong one. There are too many unknowns about what variables get ported over until S2E1 exists, so maybe once the tech boffins see how the porting works we can discover what variables actually matter for the paths.

Funny, I always avoid Bella and am annoyed at all the forced interaction with her. Normally I don't mind the tsundere character but she's written in such a way that I would just not engage with her at all, but the game doesn't give you that choice.

I agree he needs a native speaker. German translates to English fairly well in regards to word order and such, but he makes the same tense mistakes that nearly everyone makes. There are several lines like "Didn't you ever do that thing?" but the proper way to say that is "Haven't you ever done that thing?"

I'm not sure if I've seen a single non-native English speaker get that right in these games, and many of the native speakers do it too.

mc has shit hair, it's like a skunk tail.
He does. But everyone forgets about Bellas anti-gravity pony tail.
Ocean isn't trying to create a realistic world here. He's more like a designer obsessed with aesthetics and style. There's not a single overweight person in that whole school and apart from Vicky, no special needs person either.

There is absolutely no anger in me, perhaps some of my words seem rude or incorrect, this is because I don’t know English well. I try to approach everything with humor. Although you are right, I remain disappointed, because I see how the game fades away with each update, but this does not mean that I have a negative attitude towards the game, if the next SG update is interesting, I will be sincerely glad.
