Its because we like the story and game so much that we eagerly wait for new updates.
Eagerly waiting is not the same thing as casting shade on the devs for a delay.
Sadly, that's much more like simply being entitled and impatient.
"I want this game delivered to my own personal demands, if not...."

Theres also a patreon post every month for half the games on this site which should be marked abandoned and yet they aren't being updated at all
I can only suggest that you read the site rules and educate yourself about when games receive the "Abandoned" tag.
You thinking it should be marked as "Abandoned" does not mean that it should.
If it does not transgress the site's rules for receiving that tag, it will not receive it.
This game does not qualify for receiving it.
If you do not like, or agree with the way this site operates, maybe don't frequent it?
Coding in RenPy is like writing a literal script for a game with posing and background image changes sprinkled in every few lines, you literally cannot need multiple months to "debug" that mostly linear clicker visual novel game even if you wanted to, if you truly believe its possible to have 268 "bugs" in such an engine and game which take months to solve, I have a bridge to sell you.
If you have absolutely no idea what is involved in the specific process for this game, please stop talking generically and attempting to apply it to something where you have no idea if it fits.
That's simply an assumption, so bears no weight.
If you're an unhappy customer of the devs, then make your feelings known financially.
If you're not a customer, just a pirate, then stop moaning and just soak it up.
It will be here when the devs are finished with their work & deem it ready.
How long that takes is not going to be made any shorter by whinging about it or making unsubstantiated accusations here.
