This VN is really good, Ocean's work has not been in vain. I don’t think that rewriting the story is a problem at all. Yes, it might upset a certain category of people with an incest fetish (I have nothing against that), but I think Ocean did a good job with the rewrite. Out of the options he had, he chose a decent one. Sure, there are some gaps and nonsense in the story, but it’s still just as interesting, funny, and enjoyable as it was before the changes.
All VNs have story issues — there are very few with a strong plot from beginning to end. I hope Ocean isn’t too burned out after all the rewrites, both story-wise and graphically. He’s done an amazing and powerful job. I’m impressed by his endurance, considering he’s doing everything alone.
I hope Ocean has finally found that vision for his VN that he’s been aiming for, and that all the improvements to his workflow (PC, rendering stations, etc.) he’s made over time will help the development go more smoothly and quickly. Because this is his main problem — his content heavily relies on sexual elements. If in the next update we get only things like petting pussy, foot kissing, boob sucking, and similar light stuff without actual sex scenes with penetration with all the girls, it will seriously damage the trust in Ocean. I really hope he’s not a fan or follower of the Lust & Passion (AWAM) dev — that’s cringe (not an ad) — and that he aligns more with devs like DrPinkCake (Being a DIK), where the story pacing is great and not boring, with plenty of sex scenes.
Ocean clearly wants to create a deeper story than the examples I mentioned. I understand the slow pace and the stretching for financial reasons and to further improve the quality of images and animations, which, judging by the latest update, are absolutely unmatched in my subjective opinion. It's like next-gen in visual novels! — but damn, don’t overdo it. It's the anticipation of the hot and intimate scenes that keeps people supporting your work, so don’t abuse that trust by dragging things out for 7 years straight.
Wishing your VN great success, Ocean!
