I feel like part 2 lacking clear direction, is it classic ntr like part 1 or something more? Well, this update kinda answered that, but I wish it was just a simple one "Inoda fucking Asuna while Kirito doing everything to prove himself to Asuna's mother. Because Fujino can do great stuff even with simple premise.
Also lack of direction so far, I think, was bc monthly updates are not enough time to craft the story in long term, it's difficult, and Fujino said that they are "wage slave" irl and it's understandable how hard to do such an ambitious project solo after daily work.
In game dev messege after 0.55 is conserning, bc it sounds like they are a bit tired of the game and doesn't know themselves what to do forward clearly, asking for ideas. Well, I hope you guys write them good one's so Fujino delivers
