Exactly, if people don't want to read text in a novel (lol) they should watch a Brazzers porn video.
Having so much text, when it needs outlining, drafting, proofreading, editing, translations, and directing to go with dynamic foreground characters and background scenery is partly what's holding up these updates for so long. I don't see it as an issue personally(I don't pay monthly or spend the time read it all), but I think it could be an issue for dev in terms of a cost/benefit analysis. It's a plus for the game where the main draw is the animations.
Lmao, you have clearly no idea of how avn development works if you think writing text is the time consuming part of that task.
v0.8
-6th in-game day of content
-16 new scenes (115 in total)
-72 502 new words of dialog (383 854 in total)
-2239 new renders (10 684 in total)
-63 new animations (170 in total)
Ahh the virtue signaling. The script is included with the honey select renders thanks to AI, I forgot.

Nobody download a porn game for the ammount of dialogues it has, if i wanted to do that i'd be reading a book. It's nice that the dev puts an effort on making the story and dialogues interesting, but it wouldn't hurt if he could tone it down a bit, you spend an eternity reading all that stuff, it gets boring quickly, just my opiniondude, it's a novel...

Did somewhere circus closed down? Why there's so many clowns running around in the comment section.
"rEaDiNg iS hArD! LeTtErS tOo MuCh! MY cOmE hErE tO wAnK My WeEnY! Me DoN'T ReAd! BoOkS BaD!"
I would've understood if text was full of/padded with something like, "John picked jar of pickles" or "Jennifer smiled!", while on the screen happened the same thing. Or characters and the story were poorly written, full of inconsistencies/illogicalities. But writing is very solid, strong aspect of this game and this fact even more surprising, if we consider that this is another regressor/do over/"isekai" which market full of. Most of which, even popular ones, are utter shit.

Are you stupid? You think because the number is bigger, that means it's the most time intensive part?
Writing text in a file is really fast and easy. Rendering, which involves creating maps, posing characters, adjusting lighting and choosing camera angles for every single render, takes a whole lot longer. The game is in renpy, the code to include the renders needs to be written regardless, the code for the text comparatively quick. The time consuming part about writing is coming up with the story that happens, which won't happen faster if he decides to do less words.
On the contrary, trying to tell the same story using less words would likely take longer. Because it would be a writing style that baibai is not used to and he would thus need another stage to edit his initial draft down in order to use less words.
Use less words, is the dumbest possible suggestion to make if you want updates faster.
Like go ahead.
Write down some dialogue between two characters using 100 words and time yourself.
Then open Honey Select Neo Studio 2 and try posing characters and adjusting lighting and everything to produce a render of this game's standard and time yourself.
You need to do the first thing only 725 times to reach the word count he had in that update.
You need to do the second thing 2239 times to each the render count he had in that update. And I almost guarantee you that the second one will take you far far longer. Because this comment just took me about 2 minutes and it has already more than 200 words.
As we all know, bai-bai's mother tongue is not English, so he needs a lot of time to translate the text every time. My mother tongue is not English either, do you think it is possible that bai-bai and I belong to the same country and speak the same language, so they have to read in English in the game? I became a translation victim qwq.
Hes writing in German and then translating to English, to the best of my knowledge.
I did not know this. That's actually pretty good bc I thought English was the primary language in this vn
Actually, that's not entirely true. I found that a lot of AVNs that rate high with users are people who enjoy the story more than they do the actually porn scenes. Of course, we're here to beat it to good content, but if the main focus is sex, the avn tends to drop of the lower end of the spectrum. So long as the story keeps you in, the amount dialogue is minor issue and to some degree the explicit content. So long as it goes somewhere forward. Now that being said, I am a slow burner type so as long as the cooking is good, I'm good

They can't access real porn and this site is their only option.
your statement is already false, because I, for one, play those games primarily for the story and dialog. you can read my past comments to confirm. this game in particular, I liked it because there was more text than usual.
the best AVN are the ones that focus on the story, characters and world building. some of them have the worst lewd scenes ever, mediocre animations, repetitive sex acts...
but no need to go straight to the extremes either. "go read a book" or "go watch porn videos" don't really help. that's not what any of us want. we all appreciate good renders. it's not just about reading walls of text and ignoring the pretty pictures. we also all appreciate the girls. but some prefer their personality and stories more than their looks.
Good in the sense that the English is better than you would have excepted from a German? Sure.
Bad in the sense that it causes something like 2-3 weeks to translate I believe (not sure, need to verify from the game updates).

to be fair, most forms of somewhat resonable education in germany require you to talk a LOT in english. so it´s very cummon in germany that most ppl can at least hold a basic conversation in english.

The people who complain about the text in this novel are those who play with the skip button in all games and their attention span is a 20 second video on TikTok. Those are people who should not be listened to, this is one of the few AVN with good incest, good characters and good writing and some people complain. They deserve those shitty HS landladies and roommattes novels tbh.
BaiBai are German so yeah they need increase the amount of text to be writing and for you who say/think "why BaiBai didn't use AI to translate Germany to English to make it faster?" you still need to prof-reading it which way more harder if you not detail enough. Trust me I worked as localizer in Indonesia for foreign fictional book
Surely he could hire someone to proofread or recruit someone for proofreading/beta testing from his discord if he wanted, Can't imagine it'd cost that much
