this is only an opening as said in the devlog.:

"There's a new short scene after breakfast for all routes - it's unfortunately shorter than planned, and the rest will have to wait for the next update. I was swamped with work and obligations and wrote as much as I could. "- Devlog

I understand the frustration. I wish I could move faster with things, especially with how infrequent the updates are for specific characters. I'm not writing in episodes, but rather building up content over time, which unfortunately means that some updates will be less interesting than others. December, which was when this update was being written, sadly was a busy month, with holidays and preparations taking a huge chunk out of it, and this update has indeed been shorter than our usual ones. 

This one has the ending for Day 4 for Mikko, then the beginning of Day 5 and the breakfast. Stiff is intentional and makes sense when you read into what's happening between the two and where has the previous night left them. 

The upcoming updates starting with v0.55 will mostly be for all the characters, focusing more on slice of life scenes with the whole case before we conclude the routes, as a final wholesome goodbye. As it's been the case with all previous days, mornings and middays are light in tone, and everything takes on a more sombre and personal note after sundown. I can say that the next update specifically for Mikko will be much more meaty and you can look forward to it, however it will again be a while before it happens. In the meantime, all the characters will get equal spotlight in the few upcoming updates. 

Youre upset it was short, which makes sense BUT if youre only restricting yourself to one route of course its going to be slow progression. Its a dating sim with NINE characters each with their own subroutes. I dont generally understand critisism twords vn creators when they talk about timing cause duh its free, but if youre only going to read one route how can you complain about pacing? I hope the creators dont take your message to heart because if you really enjoyed the story youd read the rest of routes. They even wrote why in the devlog, I dont know where you find the privilage to say "if you’re going to release a new build, it needs to be worth it"

Ugh, dude, just do another route, like Rune's or Lake's, it's better than Mikko honestly.
Writing takes a long time and effort, It's really arrogant to say "this is too little" to someone that gives you this amazing novel for free! It's like receiving a gift and then complaining it's not expensive enough to that person. 
Let it take 1 year or 5 years, the important thing is that is advancing, it's not abandoned, it's thriving!
