The issue I have with this game, is it's directionless path...essentially, you could add women to your harem endlessly...but it's meaningless without context. The MC is like a cult leader with his band of female followers, who all worship and adore him...but that gets old quickly when the horizon disappears. At this point, it's a meaningless soap opera, a ship lost at sea, floating, bobbing, but going nowhere.
If I tried to find the most positive take on everything, it would be something like this:
BD started out at ~20? and his game was a hit. He worked himself to the bone with update frequency and consistency and everyone loved it. He got more money than he ever dreamed of.
He might actually have some mental issues or just couldn't handle the success and I guess he really might be a contrarian and perfectionist like he claims.
At some point, he didn't have any more ideas or couldn't stand the pressure anymore, and removed himself under the umbrealla of mental issues.
People were sympathetic, because of how he had presented himself and the game and still gave him money.
He paused pledges often though.
At some point he realized, that it is kinda cool to have the amount of money he had had, so he needed to come back.
But still, he didn't have ideas anymore, had lost interest, still couldn't handle the situation, and while being absent for two years, had told people ever-increasing numbers of renders done.
And people had eaten all his excuses.
So the solution was to talk about a rework, that no one could see but had taken up his time, telling people how some scenes were never perfect, meaning he could have spent endless time redoing stuff, being busy without the render count rising anymore.
And just continuing to add new girls without personalities meant he could just create new content without needing ideas - pretty images were enough. Not seeing someone a second time between new LIs and delays never hurt anyone.
Every decision also meant he couldn't go back anymore without exposing himself.
So he can only keep going or is losing everything.
Not saying this is what happened/s - but something like this might be the most positive take possible taking all his actions into account?
