Well, I know it has all been talked about here for awhile on this thread, but honestly I stopped reading this thread about 4 months ago because it didn't sound like any updates were imminent, and it didn't seem like there was much to talk about, other than respond to all the complainers saying that the sexual content was too meager.
I love the last version of Deluca Family, it is in my top 5 out of hundreds of games I've played here. However, I really can't stand grinding for content. In my younger days I could play classic RPGs for weeks straight, but I have a lot less patience for that now, and with VNs, content is king, really, so obscuring content behind repetitive gameplay, really takes all the enjoyment out of it as a player, for me at least.
Deluca Family, however, wasn't too bad. There was a little grinding with the missions, but overall it was brief, and other than slight confusion occasionally of what to do next, it was pretty straightforward what to do next.
For someone who has played the current update, how bad is it, really, in terms of grinding? Be honest

. Is it about like before, slight with some different mechanics? Or has grinding become a big part of the game now?
Also, how much new content is there actually? I've read through the last 10 pages, and I haven't really seen anyone that has played it give any evaluation. I would be quite dissapointed to have to start over from scratch just to see a few minor scenes, that don't really move the story or the relationship with the characters forward. Is there anything new that is actually meaningful to the story? Or just a few minor scenes, that I should probably just skip until the next update sometime in the future?
