I haven't really commented much on this update. After I first played it, I was kinda like...really...that's it?
However...there were a lot of story-building/relationship-building elements involved.
As others have stated...Miru is so different now compared to the old game. She's a loving girlfriend now...who is trying to keep the peace with MC and his family. She's been so positive and supportive. It's great.
People were complaining about the introductions of many characters...but think about it. You go back home for the first time in years...yeah, a lot of your family might show up for that. I dunno. I come from a huge family. I know my parent's cousins and their parents even. And what this does, story-wise, is open up a lot of opportunities, later.
This site has so many nauseating harem games where every single girl falls in love with MC off the bat. No reason at all. This revamp, we're actually seeing why someone already love or loved MC. We're seeing a path where relationships can be regained and grown. The more feeling behind it and the more attachment we can build to these characters, the better.
Ok, rant over. Sorry folks. I hate the long development times, too. But, I have to admit, it's much better than the original version.
