Have you ever played this game? For example, Mytril's update took me several days and that's a VN only. Even when skipping, it's definitely contenet for more than 15-20 minutes.
Fine, fine, 20-25 minutes. Is that better? You're clicking through a bunch of still images and reading bland flavour text to get to the porn. There's no deep story, there's no complicated gameplay, even the animations are not particularly complex, yet here we are 13 months since the last update, with roughly 22.2% left for them to develop. If we assume a similar progress rate for that final 22.2% then we're probably looking at another three months with possibly more. So no content for 15 months... and your defence is that you're a slow reader?

There are approximately 44k words on 0.6 update, which means if you finish it in 25 minutes then your reading speed is 1760 words per minute. Average reading speed is about 240 words per minute so congratulations, your reading speed is greatly above the average. If your reading comprehension with that speed is above 50%, I highly recommend you to join World Speed-Reading Championships

That is impressive and we all know that I am being somewhat hyperbolic but most of the dialogue in this game is easily skipped and you'll lose nothing. Most of the text in this game is pointless drivel used to extend the time between scenes. They say in three paragraphs what could have been said in one sentence. So yes, I can get through 44,000 words in 20ish minutes because I'm not reading most of it because I don't need to read most of it. A quick scan is all that's actually necessary with 99% of the dialogue. When it comes down to actual content that requires action from the player there's only a few minutes of anything other than clicking between areas. So between that and the porno, 15-25 minutes is accurate whether you like it or not.

I am sure the weekly updates from the 2 person development team who are husband and wife that had a baby in the middle of developing one of the largest updates to the game to date is just a figment of everyone's imagination.

If you are new to What A Legend you could try asking instead "I am new to the game and see it has been a long time since that last update but within the last couple of pages I noticed that they do weekly update. Could someone please catch me up on what is going on?"
I played the game since the beginning and I didn't know the developers are married and had a baby, but I sense that you're saying that they're one of the lazy developers (But in a good way).

The 18 months of no update rule doesn't mean a game has to release a new playable version within 18 months. A progress report is also considered an update and this game report it progress weekly
No, the progress report counts for the 3 months of silence from the dev. If they do no release a new version of the game for 18 months, the abbandoned tag gets added regardless of the weekly status update.

Really? My bad then, I thought that progress report is considered an update since it still tells how much the game development goes and the 3 months silence is if dev simply disappear or don't give any progress on their game to their supporter

Yeah, I didn't explain what I meant well. The abandoned tag is added in 2 situations: either the dev goes quiet for 3 months and does not make any posts on patreon, subscribestar or whatever; or they don't post a new playble version of the game for 18 months, regardless if they are regularly posting on patreon (like the weekly updates Maginuts release).
